Living with an autoimmune condition can affect your energy, digestion, joints, skin, concentration, and overall quality of life. Even with an established diagnosis or treatment plan, you may continue to experience symptoms that are difficult to explain or manage.
At Besana Health and Wellness, our team takes a broader look at the factors that may influence how you feel, including inflammation, nutrition, thyroid and hormone health, digestion, stress, sleep, and metabolism. Our integrative approach is designed to complement the care you receive from your primary care provider or medical specialists.
Your first appointment includes a detailed review of your symptoms, health history, medications, previous testing, lifestyle, and wellness goals. Your Besana provider may recommend additional laboratory testing based on your individual concerns.
Your personalized plan may include nutritional support, supplements, lifestyle recommendations, thyroid or hormone evaluation, low-dose naltrexone, or additional testing when appropriate. Follow-up visits allow your provider to monitor your progress and adjust your plan based on your response.
Low-dose naltrexone, commonly called LDN, is an off-label prescription option that may be considered for certain patients with autoimmune, inflammatory, or chronic pain concerns.
Besana is one of the limited number of local wellness practices offering LDN evaluation and management. Your provider will review your health history, symptoms, current medications, and treatment goals to determine whether it may be appropriate for you.
LDN is not a replacement for medications or care prescribed by your rheumatologist, endocrinologist, primary care provider, or other specialist. When appropriate, it may be included as one part of a broader integrative wellness plan.
Schedule a consultation with our Besana team to discuss an integrative approach to your immune health and overall wellness.
Autoimmune conditions disproportionately affect women, with many conditions including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome occurring significantly more often in women than men. Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, menopause, and other life transitions can trigger or worsen autoimmune symptoms. Our integrative approach evaluates the hormonal and immune connections that conventional treatment often overlooks, coordinating thyroid management, hormone optimization, and immune support when appropriate.
While autoimmune conditions are less commonly associated with men, significant male prevalence exists in conditions including ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and type 1 diabetes. Men with autoimmune concerns frequently receive delayed diagnoses because their symptoms are attributed to other causes. Besana's comprehensive approach evaluates autoimmune markers alongside hormonal and metabolic health, offering men the same root-cause assessment that women receive.

Want to discuss whether low-dose naltrexone may be appropriate
Detailed analysis of inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, food sensitivities, and immune function to identify your unique triggers and build a baseline for personalized treatment.
Targeted supplementation and dietary guidance to reduce inflammation and support immune regulation through evidence-based nutritional interventions.
Healing protocols to repair intestinal barrier function and restore healthy microbiome balance, addressing one of the most common contributors to immune dysregulation.
Evidence-based techniques to regulate cortisol levels and support your body's stress response systems, which play a direct role in immune function.
Safe, gentle protocols to reduce toxic burden and support your body's natural elimination pathways, reducing the environmental triggers that can worsen autoimmune activity.
Practical strategies for sleep optimization, movement, and daily habits that support long-term immune health and reduce the inflammatory load on your system.
They were never meant to define health. Autoimmune markers can read within normal range while immune dysregulation is already underway. Inflammatory patterns can be present for years before reaching the thresholds that conventional testing flags. Many patients arrive at Besana having been told their labs look fine while living with real, treatable symptoms.
We evaluate results against optimal reference ranges and comprehensive panels that go well beyond standard autoimmune screens, because being not sick is not the same as being well.
Bioidentical hormone optimization to support immune function and overall vitality. Many autoimmune conditions improve when hormonal balance is restored alongside immune support.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune thyroid condition. Our comprehensive thyroid management addresses both immune dysregulation and hormonal optimization together.
Advanced laboratory analysis to identify root causes of immune dysfunction and monitor treatment progress with precision.

Dr. Atagi did my breast explant and she is compassionate, detailed, and actually listens. You don’t feel like a number here. Every visit feels thoughtful and unrushed. Heather has been managing my HRT for over two years since I started menopause early. She truly knows me, remembers my life, checks in on me, and genuinely cares. Thanks to her, I feel like myself again. This level of care is rare and I’m so grateful I found this practice. If I could give more starts to her, I would.Posted on Google D.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Besana provides integrative wellness support for adults living with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. This may include patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and other concerns. Our services are intended to complement the diagnosis and treatment provided by your established medical specialists.
Conventional treatment often focuses on diagnosing the condition, controlling disease activity, and managing symptoms with medication. Integrative support considers additional factors that may influence how you feel, including nutrition, thyroid and hormone health, digestion, stress, sleep, inflammation, and metabolism. These approaches can be used together.
Besana providers may prescribe low-dose naltrexone, or LDN, for appropriate patients after reviewing their health history, symptoms, medications, and treatment goals. LDN is prescribed off-label and is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will discuss its potential benefits, limitations, and safety considerations during your consultation.
No. You should not stop or change a prescribed medication without consulting the provider who manages it. Besana’s integrative services are designed to work alongside your established medical care rather than replace it.
Testing is personalized and may include assessments of inflammation, nutrient levels, thyroid function, hormones, metabolic health, and other factors related to your symptoms. Your provider will recommend testing based on your health history, existing diagnosis, previous laboratory results, and current concerns.
Besana can evaluate your symptoms and provide integrative wellness support, but some autoimmune conditions require diagnosis and ongoing management by a rheumatologist or another appropriate specialist. When additional evaluation is needed, we may recommend that you work with your primary care provider or a specialist.
Yes. Patients experiencing concerns such as persistent fatigue, brain fog, digestive changes, joint discomfort, or inflammation may schedule an evaluation even without a confirmed autoimmune diagnosis. Your provider can review your symptoms and help determine whether additional testing, wellness support, or a referral to another medical professional may be appropriate.
The experience varies based on your condition, symptoms, current treatment, and recommended care plan. Some patients notice gradual changes as their plan is implemented, while others require more time and adjustment. Your provider will monitor your progress and modify recommendations based on your individual response.
