Living with an autoimmune disease can feel like a constant battle—unpredictable symptoms, chronic inflammation, and fatigue can take a toll on your daily life. While conventional treatments often focus on symptom relief, they don’t always address the root causes of immune dysfunction.

At Integrated Health NYC, we take a functional medicine approach to help you regain control over your health, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being. Our personalized protocols are designed to restore immune balance, enhance gut health, and support long-term healing—so you can feel your best every day.

Our Approach to Autoimmune Disease Treatment

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and organ dysfunction. At Integrated Health NYC, we address immune dysregulation at its source, working to:

1. Identify Triggers & Root Causes

We use advanced functional testing to detect:

• Chronic inflammation markers

• Food sensitivities & allergens

• Gut microbiome imbalances (including leaky gut syndrome)

• Toxin exposure & environmental stressors

2. Restore Gut & Microbiome Health

Since 80% of the immune system is housed in the gut, we focus on gut healing strategies to:

• Repair intestinal lining & reduce leaky gut

• Restore healthy gut bacteria for immune balance

• Support optimal digestion & nutrient absorption

3. Regulate the Immune Response Naturally

Through nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and targeted supplements, we help modulate immune activity, reduce chronic inflammation, and prevent further immune system overactivation.

This holistic, root-cause approach ensures a sustainable path to symptom relief and improved health.

Conditions We Support with Our Autoimmune Protocols

We help patients manage and reduce symptoms associated with:

• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – Reduce joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

• Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – Support thyroid function and rebalance the immune system.

• Lupus (SLE) – Manage systemic inflammation and improve daily energy levels.

• Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – Strengthen nervous system function and reduce symptom flare-ups.

• Psoriasis & Eczema – Address underlying immune dysfunction that leads to chronic skin inflammation.

• Celiac Disease & Gluten Sensitivity – Heal gut damage and improve digestion.

• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Support gut health for those with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Our integrative, evidence-based approach enhances conventional treatments to help patients improve their quality of life, naturally and effectively.

Our Autoimmune Healing Protocol

We create personalized treatment plans designed to reduce inflammation, support immune regulation, and restore balance.

1. Advanced Diagnostic Testing

We use cutting-edge lab assessments to identify:

• Gut microbiome imbalances & leaky gut syndrome

• Inflammatory cytokines & immune dysfunction markers

• Nutritional & hormonal deficiencies impacting immune health

2. Personalized Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Plan

• Elimination diets & food sensitivity testing to remove inflammatory triggers

• Gut-healing nutrition including prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive support

• Whole-food, anti-inflammatory diet to nourish the body and reduce flare-ups

3. Targeted Immune-Supportive Therapies

• Advanced supplementation – Vitamin D, omega-3s, glutathione, and immune-modulating herbs

• Peptide & IV therapy – Cellular-level support to enhance immune resilience

• Detoxification protocols – Reducing toxic load to ease immune burden

4. Stress Reduction & Lifestyle Modifications

• Stress management strategies to lower inflammation

• Sleep optimization techniques to support immune repair

• Safe, effective movement plans that reduce stress on joints and tissues

By addressing inflammation, gut health, and immune system overactivity, we help patients achieve lasting symptom relief and improved health.

Who Can Benefit from Our Autoimmune Protocols?

You may be a candidate for our integrative autoimmune support program if you:

• Experience frequent flare-ups, chronic pain, or fatigue

• Have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and want additional support beyond conventional treatments

• Want a holistic, root-cause approach rather than just symptom suppression

We work with both newly diagnosed patients and those who have struggled with autoimmune symptoms for years—helping them regain control over their health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can autoimmune diseases be cured?
  While autoimmune diseases cannot typically be "cured," symptoms can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes, targeted therapies, and functional medicine interventions. Many patients experience significant symptom relief and reduced flare-ups with our protocols.

• Do you replace my current autoimmune medications?
  No, our program is designed to complement, not replace, conventional treatments. We work alongside your existing care plan to optimize immune function and reduce inflammation naturally.

• How soon will I see results?
  Many patients experience noticeable improvements in energy, digestion, and inflammation levels within a few weeks. However, long-term success depends on consistency with the treatment plan.

• Do I need to follow a strict diet?
  Each plan is personalized, but in many cases, removing inflammatory foods and adopting an anti-inflammatory dietcan make a significant difference in reducing symptoms.
