Autoimmune diseases are complex, chronic conditions in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. In this insightful course, Dr. Howard Benedikt introduces chiropractors to a functional medicine perspective on autoimmune disease—one that goes beyond symptom management to uncover underlying root causes and lifestyle-based interventions.
With prevalence rising over the past few decades—now impacting an estimated 3–5% of the population—understanding autoimmune disease is more essential than ever. This course explores the possible reasons behind the increase, including improved diagnostics, environmental influences, and immune system dysregulation.
You'll gain a foundational understanding of immune system imbalances, learn to identify patterns in autoimmune presentation, and discover functional tools to support patients through nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and inflammation-reducing strategies.
