Managing Autoimmune Disease with Yggdrasil Naturopathic Medicine
At Yggdrasil Naturopathic, we understand that managing autoimmune disease is about more than just treating symptoms—it's about understanding your unique story and guiding you back to balance. Autoimmune conditions arise when the body’s immune system starts to attack its own healthy cells. This can lead to frustrating symptoms, but the good news is that with the right approach, healing is possible. Dr. Joyce Knieff and our team are here to provide support with a personalized, holistic treatment plan designed to address the root causes of your condition.
A Functional Approach to
Autoimmune Disease
When it comes to autoimmune disease, one-size-fits-all solutions simply don't work. That's why we take the time to get to know your specific needs, lifestyle, and health history. By looking at the bigger picture—factors like hormone balance, stress, diet, and gut health—we can help your body restore its natural balance and improve immune function.
​
Here are a few of the key areas we focus on:
-
Hormonal Balance: Many autoimmune diseases are connected to imbalances in hormones. Whether it's cortisol, estrogen, or progesterone, balancing these hormones can make a significant difference in how your body responds to inflammation and immune function.
-
Stress Management: We all know stress takes a toll on our bodies, but did you know it’s a major trigger for autoimmune flare-ups? At Yggdrasil, we offer natural strategies for managing stress, helping you break the cycle and regain control.
-
Gut Health: Your gut is where 70% of your immune system resides, so supporting gut health is key in managing autoimmune conditions. We’ll work with you to optimize digestion, reduce inflammation, and restore the balance your body needs.
-
Detoxification: Environmental toxins can make autoimmune symptoms worse. Dr. Knieff discusses the importance of detoxing the body safely and gently, helping to clear out harmful substances that may be contributing to your condition.
