Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system incorrectly targets the body's own tissues. Common examples include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis. Together, autoimmune conditions affect approximately 5–8% of the global population and are disproportionately more common in women.
The 'three-hit' model of autoimmunity proposes: genetic susceptibility, intestinal permeability (leaky gut — allowing antigens to trigger immune activation), and environmental triggers (infection, toxin, or dietary antigen). Vitamin D deficiency, gut dysbiosis, omega-3 deficiency, elevated homocysteine, and chronic inflammation all worsen the immune dysregulation driving autoimmunity.
AdeaHealth does not replace specialist rheumatological or immunological care. Our role is to address the biological environment that drives immune dysfunction — correcting nutrient deficiencies, reducing inflammation, restoring gut integrity, and optimising the terrain that modulates immune regulation. This is used in a supportive capacity alongside specialist medical management.
Reduced inflammatory burden, improved gut integrity, and corrected nutritional deficiencies — creating a biological environment less conducive to immune dysregulation. AdeaHealth coordinates with the client's specialist team and does not modify specialist-prescribed treatments.
Clinical note: This programme does not replace rheumatological, immunological, or specialist medical management. All interventions are supportive and coordinated with the client's treating team.
