Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases happen when the body's natural defence system could 'not recognize the difference between the body's cells and foreign cells, causing the body to attack normal cells mistakenly. Different types of autoimmune diseases affect a wide range of body parts.
The most common autoimmune diseases are Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis, Psoriatic arthritis, Lupus and Thyroid Diseases (Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis).
The severity of symptoms in autoimmune disease is different between people. A person's symptoms are likely to relate to multiple factors that include genetics, environment, and personal health.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Who is affected?
More than 4.6 million Canadians in the adult age group have arthritis. By 2036, this number anticipated increasing around 7.5 million Canadian adults.
The number of patients with RA is higher in developed countries and among adult women.
While RA can affect people of all ages, Usually, the disease's onset occurs between 30-50 years of age.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive immunological disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. RA usually affects the smaller joints in the body, such as fingers, thumbs, wrists, feet and ankles. It may also affect the entire body, including internal organs and the vascular system.
RA is a group of conditions classified as autoimmune diseases, where the body attacks its immune system mistakenly. In RA, inflammatory processes target the tissue that surrounds each joint known as the synovium. This inflammation leads to swelling and damage to cartilage and bones of the synovial-lined joints.
CELIAC DISEASE
What is Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where eating gluten triggers damage in the small intestine, leading to digestive issues, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. Naturopathic care focuses on gut healing, restoring nutrient balance, and supporting your transition to a gluten-free lifestyle
HASHIMOTO'S THYROIDITIS
What is Hashimoto’s?
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in North America. It is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and reduced thyroid hormone production. Over time, this can slow metabolism and affect nearly every system in the body.
Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid and can cause fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, and mood shifts. Naturopathic treatment focuses on calming the immune system, reducing inflammation, and supporting thyroid function through nutrition, gut healing, stress management, and targeted supplementation. Each plan is personalized to help restore balance, improve energy, and support overall well-being.
