Autoimmune Program Q & A

What is an autoimmune program?

An autoimmune program at Amber Functional Medicine, LLC, is a step-by-step approach designed to help you reduce inflammation, calm an overactive immune system, and restore your body’s balance. Common autoimmune triggers include:

Chronic stress
Gut imbalances, including leaky gut
Nutrient deficiencies
Food sensitivities
Environmental toxins
Hidden infections
Hormonal imbalances

Conventional treatments often focus on suppressing your symptoms, using drugs like steroids or immunosuppressants.

Amber takes a patient-centered approach that starts with a thorough investigation and consultation, answers your questions, provides vital health information, and helps rebuild your gut health.

Who can benefit from an autoimmune program?

This program may help if you have an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s, Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, or Crohn’s disease. You might also benefit if you:

Experience unexplained symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or digestive issues
Have a family history of autoimmune disease
Have tried conventional treatments, but still don’t feel well
Are looking for a proactive and functional approach to reduce flares

Even if you don’t yet have a formal diagnosis, pay attention to the early warning signs of immune dysfunction.

What can I expect from an autoimmune program?

Your care at Amber Functional Medicine begins with a thorough investigation, including functional lab testing if needed, and no-rush 60–90-minute consultations. The 6-month autoimmune program starts with a gut protocol to treat digestive system issues.

Amber can guide you through:

Personalized nutrition

An anti-inflammatory diet packed with whole and nutrient-dense foods supports healing.

Gut repair

Restoring your gut integrity is foundational to your overall well-being. In this phase of your program, Amber may include targeted supplements, probiotics, and strategies to support healthy digestion and natural detoxification.

Stress reduction and lifestyle support

You can counter autoimmune flares by managing stress, improving sleep quality, and enjoying restorative exercise.

Long-term immune system balance

Wellness is the ultimate goal. Once your symptoms begin to improve, the focus shifts to maintaining a sustainable lifestyle and thriving.

An autoimmune program is about providing an empowering, guided, and evidence-informed path that helps you understand your body and support healing from the inside out.
