Autoimmune Support in Lone Tree, Colorado

Integrative and functional medicine that addresses the root causes of autoimmune conditions

Looking Beyond the Diagnosis

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.

What to Expect from Integrative Autoimmune Support

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 for Autoimmune Support

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.

Who Benefits from Integrative Autoimmune Support

For Women

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.

For Men

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.

Comprehensive Approaches to Immune Support

Advanced Lab Testing & Diagnostics

Detailed analysis of inflammatory markers, nutrient levels, food sensitivities, and immune function to identify your unique triggers and build a baseline for personalized treatment.

Nutritional Optimization

Targeted supplementation and dietary guidance to reduce inflammation and support immune regulation through evidence-based nutritional interventions.

Gut Health Restoration

Healing protocols to repair intestinal barrier function and restore healthy microbiome balance, addressing one of the most common contributors to immune dysregulation.

Stress Management

Evidence-based techniques to regulate cortisol levels and support your body's stress response systems, which play a direct role in immune function.

Detoxification Support

Safe, gentle protocols to reduce toxic burden and support your body's natural elimination pathways, reducing the environmental triggers that can worsen autoimmune activity.

Lifestyle Integration

Practical strategies for sleep optimization, movement, and daily habits that support long-term immune health and reduce the inflammatory load on your system.

Standard laboratory ranges were designed to detect disease

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.

Autoimmune Support Questions

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.

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.
