Autoimmunity
Autoimmunity is on the rise, with 15 million Americans estimated to have one or more of 105 autoimmune diseases. Globally, autoimmune disorders impact about 1 in 10 people. As autoimmune conditions become more and more prevalent, our understanding of these complicated conditions is also evolving.
If you’re struggling with an autoimmune condition and your care only consists of symptom management, there are root-cause healing opportunities available. Autoimmunity typically has a deeper root cause, and you don’t have to accept these conditions or lifelong dependency on pharmaceuticals as an inevitable part of life.
What Is Autoimmunity?
Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, perceiving them as threats. This misdirected immune response leads to chronic systemic inflammation and damage to organs and systems, contributing to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and many more.
Autoimmune conditions frequently stem from a complex interplay of systemic imbalances, genetic predispositions, and hidden triggers, leading to chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation.
What Issues Can Autoimmunity Treatment Protocols Address?
Autoimmunity treatment protocols address both the root cause and downstream issues of autoimmune conditions, including:
- Goes beyond symptom management, addressing the underlying immune dysfunction, gut imbalances, environmental triggers, and chronic infections that contribute to autoimmune disease
- A key focus of treatment is strengthening and regulating the immune system, reducing the likelihood of future autoimmune flare-ups and the development of additional autoimmune conditions
- By targeting inflammation and immune dysregulation, autoimmunity treatment protocols help reduce pain, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, skin conditions, and other autoimmune-related symptoms for improved daily function
- Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of autoimmunity—these protocols work to lower systemic inflammation, alleviating joint pain, digestive distress, neurological symptoms, and other inflammatory-driven issues
- Focuses on modulating immune function, reducing excessive immune attacks on the body while reinforcing proper defense mechanisms
- A holistic, functional approach to autoimmunity provides long-term strategies for maintaining remission, preventing new autoimmune conditions, and supporting lifelong wellness and resilience
How Do You Heal Autoimmunity?
Autoimmunity treatment protocols are highly personalized, requiring an extensive, nuanced, integrated exploration of each patient. Each autoimmunity treatment plan has a gut and immune health protocol at its core. Carnivore elimination diets are leveraged to remove dietary triggers. We search for additional hidden triggers and root causes, creating additional protocols to address these issues while guiding autoimmune antibodies into remission.Â
EFH partners with licensed physicians and experts in respective medical fields to address all aspects of root-cause healing through a holistic lens for long-term remission, resilience, and prevention.
Who Benefits From Autoimmunity Treatment Protocols?
Individuals of all ages and backgrounds suffering from an autoimmune condition can benefit from autoimmunity treatment protocols. If you are struggling with one or more autoimmune disorders, our treatment protocols offer an opportunity for true root-cause healing.
When Will I See Results From Autoimmunity Treatment Protocols?
Autoimmunity treatment protocol timelines vary from patient to patient. Various factors are considered for each individual’s plan, ranging from what hidden triggers are at play to how much the gut and immune system needs to be restored.Â
While the duration of each protocol varies, some level of symptom relief should be experienced within three months of starting any autoimmunity protocol.
What Makes EFH Different for Autoimmunity?
At EFH, we approach autoimmunity through the lens of root-cause healing, not symptom management. Rather than simply suppressing immune activity, our goal is to strengthen and rebalance the immune system, identify and correct hidden triggers, and create long-term remission and prevention of future autoimmune conditions.
We combine functional medicine techniques with the latest science-backed research to deliver targeted, effective healing strategies. Every treatment plan is designed to uncover and remove the environmental, dietary, and biological factors that drive autoimmunity, allowing for true resolution rather than temporary relief.
EFH partners with leading licensed physicians and functional health experts to ensure our patients receive the most advanced, comprehensive care. By addressing autoimmune triggers at their source and reinforcing immune resilience, we help our patients achieve optimal wellness and near-symptom-free living.
Our goal is to move beyond the standard care model of lifelong symptom management and pharmaceutical dependence. Instead, we focus on building resilience, restoring balance, and equipping our patients with the tools they need for lasting wellness and long-term vitality.

Autoimmunity isn’t an inevitable part of life. Root-cause healing is always achievable. Let’s get you healing and thriving.Â
