If you’re struggling with fatigue, pain, or inflammation that never seems to resolve, an autoimmune disorder may be at play. At Sheen Vein Aesthetics and Functional Medicine, our St. Louis-based team helps patients uncover what triggers their immune system to attack healthy tissues — and how to calm it down naturally.

What Triggers Autoimmune Disease

Autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis often start years before symptoms appear.
Common triggers include:

• Leaky gut and microbiome imbalance
• Environmental toxins and heavy metals
• Latent infections (EBV, Lyme)
• Hormone fluctuations
• Nutrient deficiencies such as vitamin D and selenium

Our clinicians perform in-depth panels including:

• Comprehensive stool analysis
• Food sensitivity and toxin testing
• Autoantibody screens
• Hormonal and adrenal function testing

This data-driven approach gives patients in Missouri personalized treatment options that address why the immune system misfires.
