Functional & Integrative Medicine for Lasting Relief
Over 23 million Americans live with autoimmune disorders, many struggling for years without answers. At The Center for Integrative and Functional Health and Wellness, we take a root-cause approach to diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease.
From our Bloomingdale, IL clinic — and through telehealth appointments for Crystal Lake, IL and surrounding suburbs — our team helps patients restore balance, reduce inflammation, and reclaim their health naturally.
What Are Autoimmune Disorders?
Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, or organs. This immune dysfunction creates chronic inflammation and, over time, can damage joints, muscles, glands, and even entire organ systems.
Common Autoimmune Diseases We Treat
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
- Lupus
- Multiple sclerosis (MS)
- Type 1 diabetes
- Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and other thyroid disorders
- Psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Without proper care, autoimmune disorders can disrupt daily life and lead to long-term disability.
Symptoms of Autoimmune Disorders
While symptoms vary by condition, many share overlapping warning signs:
- Chronic fatigue and low energy
- Joint pain, swelling, or stiffness
- Digestive issues (bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain)
- Brain fog and memory difficulties
- Skin rashes or flare-ups
- Recurring fevers
- Hormonal imbalances
- Sleep disturbances
Autoimmune disorders often present with flare-ups, when symptoms suddenly worsen or become more intense.
What Causes Autoimmune Disorders?
There is no single cause, but autoimmune disease is often triggered by a combination of factors, such as:
- Genetics and family history
- Environmental toxins and pollutants
- Food intolerances (e.g., gluten, dairy, soy)
- Hormonal shifts
- Chronic stress or infections
- Gut microbiome imbalances
At our clinic, we use comprehensive lab testing (bloodwork, food sensitivity testing, nutritional panels, and hormone assessments) to uncover your unique root causes.

Autoimmune Disorder FAQs
What’s the difference between functional medicine and conventional care?
A: Conventional medicine often focuses on suppressing symptoms with medications. Functional medicine addresses the root causes (gut health, inflammation, triggers) to promote long-term healing.
Can diet improve autoimmune symptoms?
A: Absolutely. Anti-inflammatory and elimination diets can reduce flare-ups, balance gut health, and support immune regulation.
Are autoimmune diseases curable?
A: While most autoimmune conditions are chronic, many patients achieve remission or significant symptom relief with the right care.
How soon will I see results?
A: Many patients notice improvement within weeks, though full healing often takes several months of consistent care.
Do I need a referral?
A: No referral is needed. You can book directly with our providers.
