Autoimmune Health
Restore Your Health and Thrive Beyond Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune diseases are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues or organs, leading to inflammation and a range of chronic health issues. Today in the UK and globally autoimmune disorders have reached epidemic levels affecting millions of people from all walks of life. These conditions include: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis (M.S.), Type 1 Diabetes, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s), Coeliac disease or Thyroid disease (Hashimoto’s).
You may have a diagnosed autoimmune condition or a disease with an autoimmune component like Autism, Parkinson’s or Fibromyalgia. Or you may be showing early signs of autoimmunity (autoimmune spectrum disorders). Regardless, we understand that living with these illnesses can feel overwhelming and isolating with few options other than long term medications.
In the UK
4M people have an Autoimmune Disease. In comparison, cancer affects up to 3M people and heart disease up to 8M.
Correlations
It is estimated that 64% of people in the UK who have Coeliac Disease are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions.
There are over 80 recognised autoimmune diseases and an additional 40 disease processes that have an autoimmune component.
Healthcare Costs
The estimated cost to the UK economy of just the top 3 autoimmune conditions is over £13 billion.
Autoimmunity
THE AUTOIMMUNE SPECTRUM
Autoimmune diseases progress along a continuum, ranging from silent autoimmunity to full disease.
In silent autoimmunity the immune system produces antibodies (against your own body) but there are no symptoms or tissue damage. Blood tests may detect these autoantibodies but you don’t have any symptoms. The next stage is Autoimmune reactivity in which people who may begin to experience mild or occasional symptoms, but these are not severe enough to be classified as a full autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune disease occurs when the body’s immune system targeting its own tissues leads to damage severe enough to warrant a formal diagnosis by conventional healthcare providers.
EARLY DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS
Mainstream medicine often waits until symptoms have progressed to a diagnosable stage, which can lead to irreversible tissue damage by the time medication is prescribed. Integrative Functional Medicine focuses on identifying and addressing early warning signs, allowing us to act on potential imbalances and immune activity before they progress to full-blown autoimmune disease.
A PROACTIVE SOLUTION
In integrative functional medicine for autoimmune disease, we aim to address underlying issues before they become too advanced. Rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen, we focus on preventive and restorative measures, looking to preserve and enhance your body’s resilience early on, while supporting long-term health naturally.
Whether you are experiencing Silent Autoimmunity, Autoimmune Reactivity, or a confirmed Autoimmune Disease, our approach is tailored to your unique stage on the autoimmune spectrum. As a doctor for autoimmune disease, we meet you where you are, focusing on uncovering the true root causes of your symptoms. We create a personalised, whole-health strategy aimed at restoring balance, dealing with root causes, supporting vitality, and minimising further progression.
