Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly targets the body’s own tissues. More than 80 autoimmune diseases have been identified, affecting millions of people worldwide.
Common Autoimmune Conditions
Every condition is unique, but many share common underlying patterns involving inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, stress physiology, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental triggers
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
An autoimmune condition where the body attacks thyroid tissue, resulting in reduced thyroid hormone production, fatigue, weight gain, and metabolic dysfunction.
Graves’ Disease
An autoimmune thyroid disorder causing overproduction of thyroid hormones, leading to rapid heart rate, anxiety, weight loss, and heat sensitivity.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
A systemic autoimmune disease attacking joint linings, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, and progressive joint damage if left untreated.
Lupus
A chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs including skin, joints, heart, and kidneys, presenting with varying symptoms and severity.
Psoriasis & Psoriatic Arthritis
Skin inflammation and immune dysregulation characterized by red, scaly patches and, in some cases, joint inflammation and arthritis.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis—chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the digestive tract, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, malabsorption, and systemic symptoms.
Vitiligo
Loss of skin pigmentation associated with autoimmune activity, where immune cells attack melanocytes, resulting in depigmented patches on the skin.
