Autoimmune Disease
Nutritional Care in Toronto for your Autoimmune System

What is Autoimmune Disease?

Autoimmunity is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells, tissues, and organs as if they were foreign invaders. Normally, the immune system is responsible for identifying and attacking foreign substances, such as bacteria and viruses, to protect the body from infection and disease. However, in people with autoimmune conditions, the immune system cannot distinguish between self and non-self, and it attacks healthy cells and tissues, causing inflammatory damage. Our registered nutritionist can help manage this; it’s time to focus on your life, we can focus on your autoimmune health.

There are many different types of autoimmune disorders with a wide range of symptoms, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and celiac disease, among others.

The exact causes of autoimmunity are not fully understood, but they are believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
