Immune Health Naturopath Brisbane

Autoimmune Conditions

Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system produces antibodies against the body’s own tissue. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Graves’ disease and inflammatory bowel conditions are among the most common presentations our Naturopaths see. Gut permeability is a recognised driver in the development and perpetuation of autoimmune conditions. Our Naturopaths assess intestinal permeability, food reactivity, inflammatory markers and nutrient-dependent immune regulation as part of a comprehensive assessment.

Chronic Inflammation

Low-grade systemic inflammation underlies most chronic disease. Elevated CRP, poor omega-3 to omega-6 balance, excess body fat, blood sugar dysregulation and gut dysbiosis all drive chronic inflammation. Our Naturopaths assess the specific inflammatory drivers and prescribe anti-inflammatory dietary, nutritional and herbal natural treatment targeted at your individual pattern.

Recurrent Infections and Immune Vulnerability

Frequent colds and respiratory infections, slow recovery after illness and a general sense of immune fragility are signs that the immune system needs support. Our Naturopaths investigate zinc and vitamin D status, gut microbiome composition, adrenal function and sleep quality before recommending any natural treatment.

DNA and Methylation in Immune Function

Methylation variants affect how the immune system regulates inflammation and responds to infections. The MTHFR variant is particularly relevant to immune function through its effect on folate metabolism and homocysteine levels. Our Naturopaths use DNA methylation testing where clinically indicated to identify genetic drivers of immune dysfunction. Read more on our Understanding Your DNA page.
