Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

An autoimmune condition causing chronic inflammation in joints, leading to pain, swelling, and deformities. Over time, RA can also affect other parts of the body, like the lungs, heart, and blood vessels.

Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis

An immune-mediated skin disorder characterized by the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in red, scaly patches often on the elbows, knees, or scalp. Psoriasis can also lead to psoriatic arthritis, causing joint inflammation and pain.

Celiac Disease

An autoimmune condition where the immune system reacts to gluten, damaging the small intestine lining and leading to digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, and systemic inflammation if not managed with a strict gluten-free diet.

Chronic stress

Prolonged stress weakens the immune system and increases inflammation, creating an environment that can contribute to developing autoimmune disorders.

Diet and nutritional deficiencies

A diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can trigger inflammation, while deficiencies in nutrients like vitamin D or omega-3s may impair immune regulation.

Environmental triggers

Exposure to toxins, pollutants, or harmful chemicals can disrupt immune function, either triggering overactive immune responses or weakening the body's natural defenses.
