Autoimmune

Care For Individuals With Autoimmune Diseases

At PEAK Integrative Medicine, we know the complexities and often overwhelming nature of autoimmune disease. These illnesses develop when the immune system erroneously targets healthy tissues, resulting in persistent inflammation and a variety of symptoms that can impair your health and day to day life. Our approach to autoimmune care is comprehensive, addressing not just the disease but also the underlying imbalances in the body that cause it.

We work closely with all patients to develop a personalized treatment plan that includes diet, lifestyle changes, and integrative treatments.

 Our Methodology For Treating Autoimmune Diseases

At PEAK Integrative Medicine, our primary goal is to treat autoimmune illnesses using a holistic, integrative method. This means we take time to investigate the underlying reasons or root cause of your immune system flare ups. Along with this, we will also help your body recover and regain the health lost when experiencing a flair up.

Our primary focus is on preventing your immune system’s malfunction rather than focusing just on the symptoms. Our team helps your body recover from the inside out by combining cutting edge medical expertise with natural remedies.

Great place! I came here back in June upon the recommendation of Iron Mind Counseling as I was having very bad anxiety and health issues as well. They offer great comprehensive blood work and even pointed me towards a blood serum mycotoxin test as I knew I likely was having mold illness. From both blood works I got the confirmation that I really needed to jump on this! And I likely would have kept pushing it off and dealing with it with the doctors I had been seeing in the past who weren’t offering the right tests or treatments. I’m glad that by going here I have come to find that there is an affordable way to treat this and I don’t have to keep jumping through hoops! Highly recommend!

I LOVE PEAK and all the staff. I have some challenges with anxiety and they are all so accommodating with me. They respond in a timely manner, I never feel rushed thru appointments and when I bring up a concern no matter how far fetched it might seem, they talk me thru why it could or couldn't be that issue. Highly recommend

While we do have our "regular" doctor/PCP with a large local health system, we have been delighted with PEAK and its staff and programs. They have helped us learn more about consequences of personal choices with nutrition, have a great medical staff and nutrition health coaches. If you are looking for supplemental medical help or even full time, this is the place to go. Along with Healthy Habits Organic store we have both attained better habits, better health outcomes and better understanding of how to properly monitor our health. Check them out.

I cannot say enough about Peak Integrative.This is the future of healthcare.Instead of just telling you what is wrong they actually look into what could be your issue and how to treat it instead of promoting some new off the wall pharmaceutical products to sell you in hopes you feel better. All starts with you and your body and the mindset.. First you do a discussion of your health and concerns. Bloodwork testing in all areas to see where to start and finding what could be wrong with you. Available chat sessions and very quick to respond to any issues you may have. Definitely try Peak . Maybe the game changer you need to a healthier and happy lifestyle.

Buddy Touchinsky was wonderful, he spent an ample amount of time going over options and making several suggestions to help my son. This practice deserves 10 stars!!! I highly recommend this practice.

Peak Integrative Medicine is by far the best practice in the area. The facilities are beautiful and comfortable. I love not being rushed through appointments to meet a quota. I feel heard and understood. My other doctors have made me feel like my issues are in my head. Well, my in depth blood work panel says otherwise. Christin was very thorough during my intake appointment and made sure all of my concerns were addressed. Buddy has been great for Chiropractic care. The practice offers a large variety of treatment options worth checking out. Invest in your health before it’s too late!

Typical Autoimmune Diseases We Treat

Your body can be widely impacted by autoimmune disorders. Having one autoimmune illness raises your chance of developing more. We understand that every autoimmune illness has various challenges, and we adjust our methods to each patient’s individual scenario. At PEAK, we treat a variety of common autoimmune illnesses, such as:

1. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Autoimmune Treatment

The autoimmune disease known as multiple sclerosis occurs when the immune system targets the protective layer that surrounds nerve fibers in the central nervous system, causing disruptions in brain-to-body communication. Our strategy is on the management of symptoms such as dysphagia, exhaustion, and problems with equilibrium by means of dietary modifications, targeted treatments, and lifestyle adjustments to lower inflammation and promote nerve function.

2. Reactive Arthritis Autoimmune Treatment

This kind of arthritis is generally initiated by an infection elsewhere in the body, leading to joint inflammation. Our strategy involves using a mix of nutritional adjustments, supplements, and treatments to promote joint health and lessen pain, as well as addressing the underlying infection, lowering inflammation, and increasing joint mobility.

3. Autoimmune Treatment For Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Lupus is a systemic autoimmune illness that can affect several organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and the heart. We aim to prevent flare-ups and safeguard organ health by combining individualized diet, IV treatment, stress management, and targeted supplements to control immune response and reduce systemic inflammation.

4. Pernicious Anemia Autoimmune Treatment

When the immune system targets stomach lining cells, the body’s capacity to absorb vitamin B12 is compromised, leading to pernicious anemia. In order to prevent additional issues, PEAK’s treatment focuses on restoring B12 levels with IV Nutrient Therapy or supplements, while also addressing gut health and bolstering immune function.

5. Myasthenia Gravis Autoimmune Treatment

This autoimmune disease impairs nerve-muscle transmission, leading to voluntary muscular weakening and exhaustion. In order to increase muscular strength and energy levels, we address the underlying reasons by supporting immune regulation and muscle function through a mix of nutritional therapy, stress management, and other integrative therapies.

6. Sjögren’s Syndrome Autoimmune Treatment

The glands that create moisture are the organs affected by Sjögren’s syndrome. Common symptoms like dry mouth and eyes result from Sjögren’s syndrome. To reduce discomfort and prevent further glandular damage, our treatments focus on immune system balance, hydration, and glandular function. We do this by combining nutritional therapies, hydration support, and immune-modulating treatments.

7. Autoimmune Treatment For Certain Type 1 Diabetes Cases

Type I diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system assaults the pancreas’ insulin generating cells. While insulin therapy is essential, at PEAK, we also prioritize blood sugar management, gut health, and inflammation reduction to promote general well-being and avoid problems.

8. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Autoimmune Treatment

Chronic joint inflammation brought on by rheumatoid arthritis frequently results in discomfort, swelling, and decreased mobility. At PEAK, we employ a holistic strategy that targets the underlying causes of immune system dysfunction in order to reduce inflammation and enhance joint regeneration. This includes anti-inflammatory foods, IV treatment, and natural supplements.

9. Autoimmune Treatment For Addison’s Disease

Addison’s disease occurs when the immune system assaults the adrenal glands, resulting in a hormone deficit such as cortisol. Our treatment approaches include dietary support for adrenal function, stress management strategies, and targeted hormone balancing to help restore energy levels and increase hormone production.

Understanding Autoimmune Disease Treatment Services

At PEAK, we technically do not “treat” the disease. We help support the normal physiology of the patient so that their body can better cope with the disease and significantly reduce symptoms of the disease or put it into remission. Autoimmune diseases do not technically have a cure; instead, preventative measures can be taken to avoid inflammation and immune system reactions that result in symptoms. 

Many People That Have One Autoimmune Disease Can Develop Another

If your immune system is attacking your body it means that it is incorrectly identifying threats in your body. Many people who have Type 1 diabetes will find they suffer from Lupus later on in life.
