Immune Builder
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.
