Autoimmune disease

When Your Immune System Turns Inward

Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system, designed to defend the body against external threats, mistakenly targets your own tissues and organs. This internal attack can affect nearly every system — from joints and skin to the nervous system, thyroid, and gut — leading to chronic inflammation, pain, fatigue, and functional breakdown.

🌍 What Triggers Autoimmunity?

Autoimmunity doesn’t happen by accident. It develops over time due to a mix of genetic predisposition, immune overload, and — most often — environmental triggers.

At Empower Health, we commonly see patients whose immune dysfunction was triggered or worsened by:

  • Mold and mycotoxins
  • Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections
  • Chronic bacterial or viral infections
  • Heavy metals and environmental toxins
  • Gut permeability (“leaky gut”)
  • Long-standing inflammation and oxidative stress

These stressors can confuse the immune system — causing it to attack healthy tissue in an attempt to defend the body.

🔎 Our Approach to Autoimmune Conditions

Root-Cause Testing. Immune Reset. Whole-Body Healing.

We don’t guess. We test — using advanced diagnostics to identify the infections, toxins, and immune triggers contributing to your condition.

Once your root causes are mapped, we create a personalized protocol designed to:

  • Reduce or eliminate toxic exposures
  • Support detox and drainage pathways
  • Repair gut and immune system barriers
  • Calm immune overactivity and restore tolerance

Our goal is not just to manage symptoms — it’s to help rebalance your immune system so that healing can begin at the source.
