TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Endocrinological, nutritional and sports program designed to treat Autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune diseases affect millions of people around the world, they are disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly and harmfully attacks its own cells and tissues. Among them are endocrinological diseases such as: Graves' disease, Hasimoto's Thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common autoimmune disease and the main cause of hypothyroidism, in which damage to the thyroid gland occurs due to lymphocyte infiltration. Many patients with HT, have excess body weight, metabolic disorders and a reduced quality of life, it is important explain that most of these symptoms are improveable and can even be completely eliminated by applying the correct protocol.
Who is it aimed at?
This program is aimed at all those people who suffer from some type of autoimmune disease and they want a specialized medical program that contemplates an integrative vision that includes genetic reasons, triggering causes, current and foreseeable risk factors in the near future, in which a realistic integrative multidisciplinary treatment will be planned according to the situation of each person to achieve an endocrine diagnosis and tutoring with the support of a nutrition professional and a physical trainer.
The program is aimed at patients with:
-
AUTOIMMUNE ALTERATION OF THE THYROIDS: HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS OR BASEDOW'S GRAVES DISEASE
-
LUPUS
-
Vitiligo
-
INFLAMMATORY INTESTINAL DISEASE
-
CELIAKIA
-
ADRENAL AUTOIMMUNITY
What is the purpose of the program?
Autoimmune diseases have various implications, they usually affect several organs at the same time and it is frequent have "silent" autoimmune disease or not previously diagnosed. The aim of the program is to diagnose and treat with a broad view from the cause to the last consequence of the autoimmune situation. We emphasize modulating the stimulating elements ("triggers"), currently there are several thousand of them, however the most important are those that damage the cortisol axis (years ago it was scientifically proven that autoimmune diseases appear after a period of significant stress), estrogenic, metabolic alterations (it is important to know which elements of the nutritional pattern can activate or slow down autoimmune diseases, is scientifically described), dysbiotic (altered gut microbiota activates autoimmune disease), nutritional and environmental.
Finally, in an integrative way, focusing on the cause of the entity generating autoimmunity, define the complete treatment, which does not fall only in the hormone replacement "euthyrox" as the only possible element but it has several essential stages of treatment.
