Causes and Treatments of Autoimmune Disease
If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s disease, or Psoriasis, you may have been told that managing symptoms is your only option. Many specialists focus solely on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of these conditions. This approach can be frustrating and, in many cases, ineffective in providing long-term relief.
The good news is that there are steps you can take to support and strengthen your immune system, helping to manage not just the symptoms but also the underlying triggers of your condition.
What is Autoimmune Disease?
Your immune system is designed to protect your body from harmful invaders like bacteria and viruses. However, in autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and tissue damage. This can impact multiple organs and systems, causing widespread discomfort and dysfunction.
A Whole-Body Approach to Autoimmune Disease
Traditional medicine often treats autoimmune diseases in isolation, focusing on specific organs or symptoms. For example, a dermatologist may treat psoriasis, while an endocrinologist may manage Hashimoto’s disease.
At Norcal Brain Center, we take a holistic approach, looking at how your entire body is functioning together. Rather than just treating one organ or symptom, we identify underlying causes and how different systems in your body interact. This allows us to develop a comprehensive and effective treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Finding Autoimmune Triggers
One of the most effective ways to manage autoimmune disease is to identify and remove the triggers that are causing your immune system to overreact.
Some common autoimmune triggers include:
- Brain-Body Miscommunication – The nervous system plays a key role in regulating immune function. Dysfunctional brain-body communication can contribute to autoimmune reactions.
- Food Sensitivities – Proteins, microbes, and other food particles that enter the bloodstream can trigger inflammation and immune responses, leading to chronic symptoms.
- Infections & Toxins – Viral, bacterial, and environmental toxins can cause the immune system to become overactive, mistaking healthy cells for threats.
At Norcal Brain Center, we specialize in identifying these hidden triggers to help rebalance your immune system and reduce inflammation, pain, and fatigue.
Resetting Your Immune System
Our process begins with comprehensive lab testing to pinpoint the underlying causes of your autoimmune response. These tests help us identify:
- Food intolerances and allergies
- Hidden infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal)
- Toxins and environmental triggers
- Metabolic imbalances affecting immune function
Once we identify the root causes, we create a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Dietary modifications to eliminate inflammatory foods and heal the gut
- Medical-grade nutritional supplements to support immune regulation
- Targeted treatments for infections and detoxification
Take Control of Your Health
Autoimmune diseases are complex and affect each person differently. That’s why a personalized approach is key to reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
If you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition or are experiencing unexplained issues related to your gut, skin, nervous system, or other organs, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with the experts at Norcal Brain Center.
