Autoimmune Disorders in Erie

Many autoimmune disorders are caused by an over-active or over-sensitive immune system. The job of functional medicine in Erie is to figure out why the immune system is being triggered and take that trigger away, rather than supplying medication to cover up the symptoms.

Common triggers include:

• Bacterial or Viral Infections
• Food Sensitivities
• Heavy Metal Build-Up
• Environmental Toxins
• Too Much Stress
• Nutritional Deficiencies
• Leaky Gut caused by poor diet
• Systemic Inflammation

Often times, people will have more than one trigger, especially since we now live in such an unhealthy environment. Certain tests will point us in the right direction, and by changing diet, lifestyle, and adding in key pharmaceutical grade supplements, we can often make drastic changes in people’s lives. Sometimes, we are even able to completely reverse the autoimmune disorder!
