Even if you are genetically prone to it, autoimmunity is preventable. If you have already been diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, your immune system is malfunctioning and your body is mistakenly attacking your body’s healthy cells, tissues, and organs.
With one autoimmune condition, you are at risk for another one, and we understand that can be scary. You may be wondering – What is driving it? How did your signaling of the immune system get confused?
The key is casting a wide net across a broad spectrum of contributing factors that are causing symptoms and inflammation. And knowing you have a solid plan in place. At Fit Logic Functional Medicine, we don’t believe that your body has a deficiency of some kind of pharmaceutical drug, even though in certain cases it may help even temporarily. This is not the answer, and you do not have to “just live with it.” Autoimmunity is multifactorial and different for each individual. We help you to replace what is missing and give your body what it needs to function its best and to:
There is a strong association of autoimmunity with leaky gut, and we spend time helping you improve and optimize your gut health with expert guidance. Even an imbalance of good and bad gut bacteria (dysbiosis) can be a cause of leaky gut and lead to autoimmune disease.
Knowing which dietary and lifestyle changes to make can be confusing and frustrating. We will meet you where you are, go at your pace, and clarifying what is recommended for you and providing education along the way.

When your body is deficient or even on the lower end, it decreases your immune system’s ability to function properly causing inflammation and a decreased ability to remove toxins. Nutrient and vitamin infusions help to:
