What is Autoimmune Testing?

Autoimmune testing is a diagnostic approach used to identify autoimmune conditions, where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues in the body. By analyzing specific biomarkers and antibodies, autoimmune testing helps detect underlying immune dysfunction, providing valuable insights into your health.

Why is Autoimmune Testing Important?

Autoimmune conditions often present with vague or overlapping symptoms, making them difficult to diagnose. Early detection through autoimmune testing allows for timely interventions, which can slow disease progression, alleviate symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. It empowers individuals to understand the root causes of their health challenges.

Key Components of Autoimmune Testing

Our autoimmune testing evaluates several critical biomarkers to provide insight into immune health and function:

 

Autoantibodies

Detecting specific autoantibodies (e.g., ANA, anti-TPO) to identify autoimmune conditions.

Inflammatory Markers

Measuring CRP and ESR to assess levels of systemic inflammation.

Cytokine Profile

Evaluating immune signaling proteins to determine immune system balance.

Food Sensitivity Testing

Identifying food triggers that may contribute to chronic inflammation.

Intestinal Permeability

Assessing gut health to identify leaky gut and its role in autoimmune activity.

Genetic Markers

Testing for hereditary predispositions linked to autoimmune diseases.

Nutrient Levels

Measuring key nutrients, such as vitamin D and zinc, essential for immune regulation.

Immune Function Panel

Analyzing white blood cells and immune cell activity to evaluate overall immune health.

Personalized Treatment Plans

After analyzing your autoimmune testing results, we’ll design a tailored plan to address your unique needs and support immune system health. This plan may involve optimizing your diet, incorporating specific supplements, managing stress, and reducing inflammation. By addressing the root causes of immune dysfunction, we aim to help you achieve balance, improve symptoms, and enhance your overall well-being.

The Role of Autoimmune Testing in Functional Health

Functional health takes a holistic approach to identifying the interconnected factors that contribute to illness. Autoimmune testing plays a critical role in uncovering the root causes of inflammation and immune dysregulation. By integrating the results of this testing with other functional health assessments, we can create comprehensive care plans that address the physical, emotional, and environmental factors impacting your health.
