A Functional Approach to Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune conditions are often thought to be lifelong conditions. At Purescripts, we can help manage autoimmune disorders to help improve the quality of your life.
Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system does not function properly. In some cases, the immune system fails to detect pathogens, allowing invaders to attack the body. Conversely, autoimmune disorders can also result when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues.
Challenges of Conventional Treatment
Autoimmune disorders that involve the body attacking itself are typically treated by suppressing the immune system. While this approach may help reduce symptoms, it unfortunately increases the risk of infections, cancer, and other pathogens, as the immune system’s ability to protect the body is compromised.
Some of the most common autoimmune disorders include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Celiac Disease
- Crohn’s Disease
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Lupus
- Psoriasis
- Graves’ Disease
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Vasculitis
- And many others
At Purescripts, we take a functional approach to helping you manage your autoimmune condition. Our comprehensive care includes:
Identifying Triggers
We work with you to identify and understand the triggers affecting your immune system. These triggers can vary widely, including environmental factors, food sensitivities, stress, and more. By pinpointing these triggers, we can help you make necessary lifestyle changes to minimize their impact.
Lifestyle Changes
Making lifestyle adjustments is a crucial part of managing autoimmune disorders. We provide guidance on dietary changes, stress management techniques, and other lifestyle modifications to support your immune system and overall health.
Gut Health
Maintaining a healthy gut is paramount in having a robust and healthy immune system, as approximately 80% of the immune system is located in the gut. Our specialized gut repair protocol is designed to support gut health, improve digestion, and enhance immune function.
Personalized Supplementation
We offer personalized supplement protocols tailored to your specific needs. These professional supplements are chosen to support your immune system, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
Customized Compounded Medications
We commonly use Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) to help modulate the immune system. LDN works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors in the brain. This blockage triggers the body to produce more endorphins and enkephalins, which are natural painkillers and immune modulators. These increased levels of endorphins help regulate the immune system, reducing inflammation and the abnormal immune responses seen in autoimmune disorders.
Our Functional Approach
Our functional approach goes beyond merely suppressing symptoms. We aim to address the root causes of autoimmune disorders and support your body’s natural healing processes. This holistic approach includes:
Thorough Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations to understand your unique health profile.
