Many autoimmune diseases are common in women today, making it important to understand this health issue! Join Heather as she talks with Dr. David Bilstrom about the most dangerous autoimmune disease for women. Dr. Bilstrom advises people to consult functional medicine practitioners who can find and treat the root causes of their health problems instead of just managing symptoms with medication!

• Estrogen dominance and hormonal imbalances.

About Dr. David Bilstrom:

Dr. David Bilstrom, M.D., is an author, international speaker and distinguished member of the American Academy of Integrative Medicine and American Academy of Medical Acupuncture. He is an advanced fellow in anti-aging, regenerative, and functional medicine and holds quadruple board certification in Functional and Regenerative Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Medical Acupuncture.

As the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute & Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine, Dr. Bilstrom is affiliated with the first medical center in the country associated with a teaching hospital to treat all types of autoimmune diseases. The center is the first in the nation to utilize nature and its healing properties as a fundamental component of a wellness program.

Dr. Bilstrom is passionate about educating individuals and medical professionals on the importance of reversing and preventing autoimmune diseases using the fundamentals of Functional Medicine. Instead of relying solely on symptom-controlled medications that may lead to additional health complications.

Dr. Bilstrom’s mission is to revolutionize the way autoimmune disease is treated worldwide by teaching the fundamentals of Functional Medicine. He is a sought-after speaker, has lectured on five continents, and has been featured at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in Las Vegas in December 2022.

Dr. Bilstrom is the author of the book, "The Nurse Practitioners’ Guide to Autoimmune Medicine: Preventing and Reversing All Autoimmunity.”

He has also developed a course called "The Autoimmune Paradigm, an Experts Program," which is available to all clinicians. It’s accredited for CEUs/CMEs of 8 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™

Dr. Bilstrom has also created a course, Autoimmune Hope, for patients to empower them with science-based hope that there is a solution for their autoimmune disease.

In 2018, Dr. Bilstrom declared and named a positive ANA as Bilstrom’s Nuclearitis because, by definition, an antinuclear antibody is antibodies being produced by a confused immune system, attacking a person's nuclear material (DNA). Named in 2018 and first published in 2020 in the textbook Advanced Therapeutics in Pain Medicine, Chapter 6: Managing Pain in the Presence of Autoimmune Disease.
