Autoimmune Disease
Virtual & Local · Los Gatos, CA
Take control of your autoimmune disease
Dr. Booth, DC, AFMC specializes in personalized, data-driven functional medicine protocols for patients with a suspected or confirmed autoimmunity diagnosis.
Autoimmune disease creates confusion for our immune system; causing it to mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues as if they are harmful intruders. Under normal circumstances, our immune system protects us from infections caused by viruses and bacteria but with autoimmunity, this system becomes misdirected and goes into overdrive. Each autoimmune disease diagnosis is named for the specific tissue that comes under attack. Common examples include rheumatoid arthritis which primarily affects the joints, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis which attacks the thyroid glands, and Lupus which can affect all tissues and organs in the body. In total there are over 80 different diagnoses, 80% of which affect women.
The Approach
Treatment for the entire body, not just your symptoms.
No matter the diagnosis, functional medicine principles encourage us to step back and examine the interconnected systems of the entire body. Once we identify your root cause, we are able to support your body’s innate ability to heal itself through nutrition, supplements and herbs, and lifestyle choices. We layer this support on top of Western medicine modalities and testing to provide more complete care.
Full-spectrum care
Together, we will address:
- Inflammation
- Sleep health
- Blood sugar regulation
- Detox pathways & toxin exposure
- Low grade infections & viral triggers
- Gut health & your microbiome
- Stress & cortisol management
- Hormone balancing & replacement
- Blood pressure & heart health
- Prevention of cardiovascular disease
