AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Addiction Medicine & Family Medicine In Sherman Oaks, CA
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to treating autoimmune conditions and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, recognizing the interconnectedness of various bodily systems and the importance of addressing the underlying imbalances. Our goal is to support your body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being.
Conditions We Treat
- Autoimmune Conditions: Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and a range of symptoms. Common autoimmune conditions we treat include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): CFS, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn't improve with rest and significantly impacts daily activities. It often coexists with other symptoms such as muscle pain, cognitive difficulties, and sleep disturbances.
Our Principles
– Dietary Changes: Nutrition plays a critical role in managing autoimmune conditions and CFS. We provide personalized dietary recommendations to reduce inflammation, support immune function, and improve energy levels. This may include eliminating potential food triggers, adopting an anti-inflammatory diet, and incorporating nutrient-dense foods to support overall health.
– Supplements: Targeted nutritional supplements can help address deficiencies, reduce inflammation, and support immune health. We recommend evidence-based supplements tailored to your specific needs, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, probiotics, and antioxidants.
– Mental Health: Mental and emotional well-being is integral to managing chronic conditions. We offer strategies to support mental health, including stress management techniques, mindfulness practices, and counseling. Addressing mental health can improve overall quality of life and support the body’s healing processes.
– Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN): LDN is an innovative treatment that has shown promise in managing autoimmune conditions and CFS. At low doses, naltrexone can modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and alleviate symptoms. Our team provides guidance on the use of LDN as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
