Autoimmune Relief:
Calming the Immune Storm
Hashimoto's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus are signs your body is attacking itself. At Optimum Health, we use advanced Vibrant Wellness testing to identify the hidden triggers—like mold, gluten cross-reactivity, and hidden infections—to calm the immune response naturally.
Conditions We Support
🦋 Hashimoto's & Thyroid
Addressing the root cause of hypothyroidism by balancing TPO antibodies, repairing intestinal permeability, and optimizing nutrient absorption.
🦴 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Reducing systemic joint pain and swelling by lowering inflammatory markers (CRP) through targeted diet and nutrient therapy.
🌾 Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity
Going beyond basic allergy tests to identify "Molecular Mimicry," where your body mistakes healthy tissue for gluten proteins.
🛡️ Psoriasis & Eczema
Skin conditions are often gut conditions. We heal the skin from the inside out by addressing dysbiosis and food triggers.
🦠 Lyme & Coinfections
Hidden tickborne illnesses are a common "Great Imitator" of autoimmune symptoms like fatigue and joint pain.
🏠 Mold Toxicity (CIRS)
Environmental toxins and mycotoxins can keep your immune system in a state of chronic activation (CIRS).
Signs of "Silent" Autoimmunity
Even if you don't have a diagnosis yet, these symptoms often point to a hyperactive immune system:
- ✅ Brain Fog: Difficulty concentrating or "cotton wool" feeling.
- ✅ Migratory Joint Pain: Stiffness that moves from joint to joint.
- ✅ Food Reactivity: Bloating or fatigue after eating.
- ✅ Chronic Fatigue: Unrelenting exhaustion despite sleep.
The Optimum Protocol: Test, Don't Guess
We utilize the industry's most advanced antibody arrays from Vibrant Wellness to see exactly what is happening inside your body.
1. Advanced Testing Panels
- Wheat Zoomer: The gold standard for detecting Leaky Gut (Intestinal Permeability) and gluten sensitivity.
- Autoimmune Zoomer: A comprehensive screen for autoantibodies associated with connective tissue, thyroid, and neurological disorders.
- Total Tox Burden: Identifies heavy metals, mold mycotoxins, and environmental chemicals (PFAS) triggering your system.
2. Heal the Gut Barrier
80% of your immune system lives in your gut. We use a "4R Protocol" (Remove, Replace, Reinoculate, Repair) to seal the gut lining, preventing toxins from leaking into the bloodstream.
3. Reduce Systemic Inflammation
We utilize Red Light Therapy to lower cytokine levels systemically, giving your body the cellular energy (ATP) it needs to repair damaged tissue.
Common Questions
Can functional medicine replace my medication?
We work in conjunction with your primary care physician or rheumatologist. Our goal is to lower inflammation naturally, which often allows patients to work with their prescribing doctor to reduce their reliance on immunosuppressants over time.
Why do you test for "Molecular Mimicry"?
Sometimes, your immune system mistakes healthy body tissue (like your thyroid) for a food protein (like gluten). Identifying these cross-reactive foods is often the missing key to remission.
