Autoimmune - Dr. Wibbenmeyer

The Time is Now

Stop allowing your autoimmune disease to control you. There is another way to re-balance your body to reduce symptoms of autoimmune and prevent autoimmune progression.

Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune disease brews under the surface for years before it can be detectable or diagnosable. During the progression, and even after diagnosis, patients are often left with very little hope and few options from their conventional doctors. With Functional Medicine, patients can take action now by identifying and treating the root causes of their symptoms, shaving off years of suffering, pain, and discomfort due to autoimmune issues.

The Autoimmune Triad

The Autoimmune Triad is functional medicine’s foundational explanation of the three underlying causes of autoimmune issues causing your immune system to go haywire and attack its own tissues.

1 Genetics

Remember, while there are a few specific genetic variations that predispose you to develop an autoimmune disorder, they are only one piece of the autoimmune puzzle and we have the power to control if those genes are flipped on by your environment and lifestyle.

2 Intestinal Permeability

Or “Leaky gut” – a precondition of autoimmune, leaky gut is when there is a breach in the gut barrier system, allowing unwanted particles – like bacteria, toxins, chemicals and food to improperly pass through. This signals the body’s alarm system (immune system) of the foreign invaders. When this happens long term, tissue throughout your body will be under attack, causing autoimmune disorders.

3 Environmental Triggers

Nutrient deficiencies, stress, toxins, and chronic underlying infections are just some of the lifestyle and environmental triggers that can worsen or initiate autoimmunity. These issues contribute to chronic inflammation and wreak havoc on your immune system.

The most common Autoimmune Disorders include:

Crohn’s Disease
Diabetes Type 1
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Lupus

Scleroderma
Psoriasis
Hashimoto’s (Autoimmune Thyroid Disease)
Autism

Celiac Disease Fibromyalgia Parkinson’s Disease Ulcerative colitis

Is there hope for me by tapping into Functional Medicine?

The short answer is yes. It’s possible to reverse or alleviate symptoms of autoimmune disease naturally with functional medicine. Advanced lab testing to identify the underlying root cause combined with crucial lifestyle changes will remove your environmental triggers, heal your gut, and silence the genes behind your autoimmune issues. It is possible to recover and restore your health and finally stop your immune system’s attack on your own body. There is hope and a different, natural way. Replace loneliness and confusion with hope, freedom, and choice. Don’t take no for an answer and seize the opportunity to re-design your life. Don’t just live with autoimmune disorders. Learn to live HAPPILY and FULLY.

I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, called Lupus, and I needed help with the symptoms that come with having Lupus, such as joint pain, trouble breathing and acid reflux. My health coach referred me to Dr. Wibbenmeyer and I instantly loved his whole body approach, helping me understand the connection to stress and emotions to my physical health. I feel so supported by Dr. Wibbenmeyer because he is a doctor who really listens and truly cares, meeting me where I am in my health. After addressing the root cause of my symptoms and autoimmune, my overall health has improved, and I was amazed that my rheumatologist was able to decrease my Prednisone and fully take me off my other medications that I can’t be on while pregnant. So now we can start our family! Dr. Wibbenmeyer is such a pleasure to work with and am excited to continue getting healthier!
