✨ Autoimmunity: The Hidden Root Cause Behind So Many Chronic Conditions ✨
Did you know that autoimmunity may be the underlying trigger behind 100+ serious, chronic illnesses?
According to the Office of Research on Women’s Health at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), autoimmunity is linked to conditions like:
🧬 Alopecia (hair loss)
🌾 Celiac disease (digestive + small intestine dysfunction)
🌸 Endometriosis (uterine inflammation + pain)
🦴 Rheumatoid arthritis (joint destruction + chronic inflammation)
…and so much more.
Even diabetes is now known to be influenced by underlying autoimmunity.
Here’s the important part 👇
Autoimmunity doesn’t always show up loudly at first.
Sometimes it looks like:
⚠️ thinning hair
⚠️ fatigue
⚠️ gut issues
⚠️ inflammation
⚠️ hormone imbalance
⚠️ stubborn symptoms that never fully resolve
At Van Norman Functional Medicine & Hair Restoration, we believe healing starts when you stop chasing symptoms and start looking for the root cause. ✅
