What Does It Mean?

Immune dysfunction occurs when the body's natural defense mechanisms become either overactive or weakened, leading to increased susceptibility to infections, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune disorders. Immune builder focuses on rebalancing immune function to enhance resilience and reduce systemic inflammation.

How Did We Get Here?

Root Causes:

  • Chronic stress leading to cortisol imbalance
  • Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., vitamin C, zinc, glutathione depletion)
  • Gut dysbiosis compromising immune regulation
  • Persistent infections or viral load
  • Environmental toxin exposure impacting immune modulation

Signs & Symptoms:

  • Frequent colds, flu, or infections
  • Persistent fatigue and low energy
  • Chronic inflammation or autoimmune flares
  • Poor wound healing
  • Brain fog and cognitive decline

Diagnostic Criteria: Patients with immune dysfunction may show abnormal inflammatory markers, nutrient deficiencies, and signs of immune suppression or overactivity.

How Do We Treat It?

Addressing immune dysfunction involves reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, and optimizing key immune nutrients.

Supplement Protocol

Vita B Methyl Supports methylation and neurological function 1 capsule without food, daily
Vita-D Supports immune modulation and bone health 1 capsule with food, daily
Vita Buff-C Caps High-dose vitamin C for immune support 2 capsules with food, daily

Additional Lifestyle Interventions:

  • Reduce Stress: Implement stress management techniques such as meditation and deep breathing
  • Gut Health Support: Encourage fermented foods and fiber intake for microbiome balance
  • Antioxidant-Rich Diet: Emphasize colorful vegetables, berries, and healthy fats
  • Physical Activity: Moderate exercise to enhance circulation and immune cell function
  • Optimize Sleep: 7-9 hours of restorative sleep to enhance immune resilience
