Autoimmune Disease

We work alongside your rheumatologist to address gut health, inflammation, nutrient levels, and lingering infections, with the goal of fewer flares.

Your diagnosis tells you which part of your body your immune system is attacking. It does not explain what is keeping your immune system overactive. At EvoHealth, we look for the factors driving your condition and work to reduce them, whether you were diagnosed last month or many years ago.

Autoimmune conditions usually develop from a combination of three things: your genes, an environmental trigger, and a weakened gut lining. You cannot change your genes, but the other two can be addressed. That is why we focus on gut health, inflammation, nutrient levels, and infections that never fully cleared.

Testing helps us find the inflammation patterns and antibodies involved in your condition, and your treatment is based on those results. Your plan also includes support for sleep and stress, along with a focused set of targeted treatments. The goals are lower inflammation, fewer flares, and slower progression.

Your assessment may include gut permeability testing, hs-CRP for inflammation, thyroid antibodies, vitamin D, and tests for past infections like Epstein-Barr virus. Realistic goals include lower inflammation, longer stretches between flares, and in some cases less medication, decided together with the specialist who prescribes it. We will never suggest stopping a disease-modifying medication just because you feel better.

Autoimmune care is part of our Functional Health program and works alongside your rheumatologist, not in place of them. Start with a free 15-minute consultation.

What this covers

Autoimmune Disease spans several presentations. Each one has its own workup.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis

An autoimmune condition before it is a thyroid one, which is why antibodies, conversion and nutrient cofactors are assessed alongside your replacement therapy.

FAQ

Common questions

The ones we are asked most about autoimmune disease.

We treat Hashimoto's, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease, and autoimmune skin conditions such as eczema, alopecia, and vitiligo.

No. Many people have had a diagnosis for years without anyone looking for what is driving it. With the right testing and a plan based on your results, lowering inflammation and having fewer flares are realistic goals.

Your rheumatologist manages your condition and your flares. We add another layer by looking for the inflammation patterns, gut imbalances, and antibodies specific to you. Both types of care work together, not in place of each other.
