Immune & Autoimmunity

CFN-S Applications to Immune and Autoimmunity

This module provides an in-depth understanding of the immune system, how autoimmunity develops, and functional strategies to address autoimmune conditions. Learners will explore the mechanisms that drive immune dysfunction and how functional medicine approaches can help modulate immune responses.

What this module will explore:

• In-depth review of the immune system and its various components

• Discussion on how autoimmunity evolves and develops within the body

• Overview of functional approaches to managing autoimmunity, including dietary protocols and lifestyle modifications

• The role of inflammation in autoimmune conditions and how to address it functionally

Why It Matters

Autoimmune diseases are increasingly common, and their management requires a nuanced, patient-specific approach. By understanding the root causes of immune dysfunction and how to support immune balance through functional nutrition, practitioners can offer more effective, personalized care for patients struggling with autoimmune conditions.
