Autoimmune Disease Support in Bellevue, Washington
At Apex Health & Wellness, we specialize in supporting patients living with autoimmune conditions by identifying and addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to immune system dysregulation.
Rather than chasing symptoms or suppressing the immune response, our functional medicine approach focuses on modulating inflammation, restoring gut-immune integrity, and rebalancing the systems that influence autoimmunity.
If you’ve been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition — or are dealing with unexplained symptoms like chronic pain, fatigue, or inflammation — our personalized protocols can help you feel more in control of your health.
What Is Autoimmunity?
Autoimmune conditions occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues — often due to a combination of genetic predisposition, gut permeability, environmental triggers, and unresolved inflammation.
This immune misfiring can lead to widespread symptoms and progressive tissue damage if not addressed at the root level.
Common symptoms of immune dysfunction may include:
Chronic fatigue and brain fog
Joint pain or stiffness
Rashes, eczema, or other skin issues
Digestive problems (bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements)
Mood changes or anxiety
Recurring infections or slow recovery
Food sensitivities and reactivity
Flare-ups that come and go without explanation
Many autoimmune patients feel dismissed or poorly understood — even when taking medications. Our role is to identify what’s driving immune dysfunction and help restore regulation over time.
Autoimmune Conditions We Commonly Support
We work with patients experiencing:
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Lupus (SLE)
Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis
Sjögren’s syndrome
Ankylosing spondylitis
Undiagnosed auto-inflammatory patterns
We also help patients with positive autoantibodies or symptoms of immune dysregulation even without a formal diagnosis.
We also support patients with complex chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, where immune dysfunction, nutrient depletion, and mitochondrial stress often play a role — even in the absence of a formal autoimmune diagnosis.
Our Functional Approach to Autoimmune Support
Our care is personalized and multi-systemic. We look beyond the diagnosis to understand why the immune system is misfiring — and create targeted plans to help regulate it.
Your protocol may include:
Comprehensive lab testing, including autoantibodies, inflammatory markers, gut health panels, nutrient status, and immune-modulating markers
Intestinal barrier and microbiome analysis, including stool testing and permeability assessment
Anti-inflammatory nutrition plans, customized to symptom triggers and diagnostic insights
Mitochondrial and antioxidant support to reduce oxidative stress
IV therapy or injectable nutrients to bypass malabsorption and accelerate recovery
Peptide therapies, such as thymosin alpha-1 or BPC-157, if clinically appropriate
Prescription immunomodulators, such as low dose naltrexone (LDN), may be considered when appropriate to support immune regulation
Targeted supplementation to correct deficiencies and support immune balance
Lifestyle and stress-modulation strategies to regulate the nervous and immune systems
Food sensitivity testing may be included selectively to guide short-term interventions, but broader systemic drivers remain our primary clinical focus
Our goal is to support your immune system in a way that’s sustainable, data-driven, and uniquely tailored to your presentation.
A Systems-Based Strategy — Not Just Symptom Suppression
Autoimmunity rarely exists in isolation. It often involves:
Gut dysfunction and microbial imbalance
Hidden infections or toxic exposures
Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, insulin)
Nutrient depletion
Mitochondrial dysfunction
Sleep and circadian disruption
Psychological and physical stress
We approach autoimmune conditions through the lens of systems biology — identifying how interconnected dysfunctions create and sustain immune dysregulation.
This allows us to support your body’s healing response without relying solely on medications.
Your Path to Immune Clarity: A Simple 3-Step Process
Step 1: Functional Medicine Consultation
We begin with a 60-minute consultation to deeply assess your history, diagnosis (if present), and immune-related symptoms.
Step 2: Strategic Testing
We order precision lab work to investigate inflammation, immune activity, gut health, hormones, nutrient status, and more.
Step 3: Personalized Plan Development
We build a phased, step-by-step strategy focused on reducing immune burden, restoring system balance, and improving quality of life.
