Lots of people are having low levels of autoimmune antibodies, they will start to experience full blown symptoms soon. So as a functional clinic we are here to prevent these to happened by all the integrative approaches.

Food is medicine, and food can become poison too! We are here to educate patients on how food can turn into an inflammatory source that lead to autoimmune diseases. We want people to start from simple things from their daily practice. We try to guide our patients to change which tailor to what they can achieve following their pace. Personalized guidance based on what you can do step by step. We make sure you understand and change your lifestyle gradually.

At Ageewell clinic, we recognize that autoimmune diseases—conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues—require a personalized, holistic approach. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multiple sclerosis each have unique triggers, but they share underlying factors, such as chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and environmental influences. Our functional medicine approach seeks to identify and address these root causes, helping you manage symptoms, reduce flare-ups, and improve quality of life.

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with an in-depth evaluation to uncover the specific triggers and contributing factors involved in your autoimmune condition, which may include:

• Comprehensive Blood Testing: Assessing inflammatory markers (like C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate), autoimmune antibodies (e.g., ANA, anti-TPO), and other relevant markers to understand the degree of immune activation and organ involvement.
• Gut Health Analysis: Since gut health is often linked to immune function, we may evaluate for dysbiosis, leaky gut, and infections through stool testing, as imbalances in the gut microbiome can drive inflammation and immune reactivity.
• Food Sensitivity Testing: Identifying specific foods that may trigger immune responses or exacerbate inflammation to create a personalized anti-inflammatory diet.
• Hormonal Testing: Evaluating cortisol, thyroid, and sex hormone levels, as hormone imbalances can contribute to immune dysregulation.
• Toxin and Heavy Metal Testing: Assessing exposure to environmental toxins and heavy metals, which may act as triggers or worsen autoimmune activity.
• Nutrient Deficiency Testing: Measuring levels of vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and other nutrients critical for immune balance and inflammation regulation.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Based on your assessment results, we create an individualized plan to reduce inflammation, restore immune balance, and support overall well-being, which may include:

• Nutritional Support: Implementing an anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich diet that reduces triggers and supports immune health. This may include:

1. Elimination Diet: Removing common inflammatory foods (like gluten, dairy, sugar, and processed foods) to help reduce immune triggers and identify specific food sensitivities.
2. Whole Foods Approach: Emphasizing fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and whole grains to provide essential nutrients and antioxidants.
3. Anti-inflammatory Foods: Incorporating turmeric, ginger, fatty fish, and leafy greens to naturally reduce inflammation.
4. Gut-Healing Protocol: Including gut-supportive foods like bone broth and fermented foods to improve gut health and support the immune system.

Targeted Supplementation such as:

1. Vitamin D to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, as deficiencies are common in autoimmune conditions.
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids to reduce inflammation and support joint and tissue health.
3. Probiotics and Prebiotics to support gut health and promote a balanced immune response.
4. Curcumin and Quercetin as natural anti-inflammatory compounds that help manage immune reactivity.
5. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola to support adrenal health and help the body cope with stress.

Lifestyle Modifications aimed at reducing stress and supporting immune health, including:

• Stress Management: Teaching mindfulness practices, meditation, and breathing exercises to reduce cortisol levels, which can negatively impact immune function.
• Sleep Optimization: Focusing on quality sleep to support healing, as sleep is crucial for immune system balance and overall health.
• Gentle Physical Activity: Encouraging low-impact activities like walking, yoga, or swimming to maintain mobility, reduce inflammation, and avoid overtaxing the immune system.
• Detoxification Support: Providing guidance on reducing exposure to toxins and promoting natural detoxification through hydration, fiber-rich foods, and, where appropriate, sauna therapy or detox supplements.
