Autoimmune Conditions: Thyroid Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus

At Brain Health D.C., we understand that living with an autoimmune condition can be challenging. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation, pain, and a host of other symptoms. Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee specializes in functional biochemical and cellular health , an approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of autoimmune conditions like Thyroid Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Lupus. Our goal is to help you manage your condition, reduce symptoms, and restore balance to your immune system.

Thyroid Disease

Thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and Graves’ Disease, are among the most common autoimmune disorders. The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. When the immune system targets the thyroid, it can lead to either hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), both of which can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, and more.

Our approach to managing thyroid disease includes:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with an in-depth evaluation of your thyroid function, including detailed lab tests that assess hormone levels and immune markers.
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on your unique needs, we develop a treatment plan that may include nutritional support, lifestyle modifications, and specific supplementation to support thyroid health and reduce autoimmune activity.
• Ongoing Monitoring: Regular follow-ups and adjustments to your treatment plan ensure that your thyroid function is optimized, and any symptoms are effectively managed.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the joints, but it can also impact other systems in the body. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and eventually joint damage.

Our approach to treating Rheumatoid Arthritis includes:

• Functional Biochemical and Cellular Health Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to identify underlying triggers of inflammation, such as food sensitivities, gut health issues, or environmental toxins.
• Anti-Inflammatory Strategies: By focusing on anti-inflammatory diets, gut health optimization, and targeted supplementation, we aim to reduce the immune system’s overactivity and alleviate joint pain and stiffness.
• Physical and Lifestyle Support: We provide guidance on gentle exercise routines and stress management techniques to help maintain joint mobility and improve overall quality of life.

Lupus

Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues in the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and brain. It is characterized by chronic inflammation and can cause a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and fever.

Our approach to managing Lupus includes:

• Holistic Evaluation: We perform a comprehensive assessment of your immune function, looking for underlying imbalances that contribute to Lupus flare-ups.
• Customized Treatment Plan: We create a personalized plan that may involve dietary adjustments, detoxification protocols, and stress reduction techniques to help calm the immune system and reduce inflammation.
• Integrative Therapies: We incorporate therapies that support overall wellness, including nutritional support, gentle physical activity, and mindfulness practices to manage symptoms and improve well-being.
