Wella's Root Cause Approach to Autoimmunity
In order to better understand the underlying cause of immune system imbalance, we often complete a thorough health history to uncover possible triggers and contributors of a patient's individual illness.
Common considerations include environmental exposures (heavy metals, mold, chemicals), genetics (MTHFR, HLA-B27), medication exposures, gastrointestinal dysfunction, chronic stress, or hormone imbalances.
Your naturopathic doctor may recommend additional testing to get to the root cause of the immune system disturbance.
Wella's doctors may also collaborate with our patient's rheumatological treatments for a more integrative approach when appropriate. IV and nutrient injection therapies are available at Wella for many of these conditions.
