Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells and tissues. This malfunction can lead to inflammation, pain, and long-term health challenges. At Optimize Integrative Health, we combine advanced diagnostics with personalized therapies to help patients reduce flare-ups, manage symptoms, and regain control of their health.
Normally, the immune system protects against harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria. In autoimmune conditions, however, the system goes into overdrive and begins targeting healthy tissues instead.
There are more than 80 recognized autoimmune diseases, with some of the most common including:

The development and severity of autoimmune diseases are influenced by multiple factors, including:

By identifying and addressing these root factors, we create treatment plans that help restore balance and resilience.
Autoimmune symptoms can look very different from person to person, but many experience:
Fatigue and low energy
Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
Recurring fever or swollen glands
Skin rashes or irritation
Digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhea, or pain
Certain conditions also come with distinct symptoms:
Morning stiffness and painful, swollen joints
Fatigue and the signature butterfly-shaped rash across the face
Numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness
Excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss
Chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain
Red, scaly, itchy skin patches
Living with these challenges can feel overwhelming, but effective treatment can significantly improve quality of life.
