The main problem when it comes to reversing autoimmune disease is…

Traditional medications treat symptoms, not systems

Body systems are inherently interconnected, intricately linked in health and sickness. But conventional medications often miss this synergy. Instead of addressing the holistic nature of our bodies, they target isolated symptoms, overlooking root causes and inadvertently escalating minor issues into major autoimmune challenges.

Autoimmune disease traditional treatments don’t address the root cause

Multi-organ system health management is almost non-existent in traditional medicine. Prescription medications for symptoms: treat one organ/issue, are a temporary band-aid, don't treat the root cause, and often have side effects that create new autoimmune disease. When we or our loved ones become the patients, traditional medicine's shortcomings are evident.

Solving the root cause appears to collide with traditional billing

On the surface, lab testing to diagnose "the why" seems at odds with the complex traditional insurance billing processes. This perceived clash often deters practitioners from embracing a Functional Medicine approach, fearing administrative and financial obstacles. Leaving patients and practitioners feeling stuck in old paradigm band-aid protocols. 

The good news is there are science-based Functional Medicine standardized approaches to reversing chronic and autoimmune disease!

This course was created with the simple goal of helping you get up to speed quickly with the Fundamentals of Functional Medicine so you can start making an immediate impact using science-based holistic methods that don't create adverse side effects and treat the root cause of why your patients have chronic and autoimmune disease. 

Testing to pinpoint the root causes of disease is fundamental. This course includes the ICD 9 and ICD 10 codes to get many of the key tests covered! 

As a Medical Doctor, I'm sharing my science-based standard approaches to patient-centered care that transforms patient outcomes and brings joy and fulfillment to practicing medicine.

Understand which tests to run and why you need to run them. Understand the optimal interpretation of test results 

  • Autoimmune Disease treatment options

Understand which changes to make even before test results are available or if no testing can be done. As well as why changes happen or don’t happen after initial interventions based on initial lab results.

  • If/when you need to re-test and how to interpret those new tests

Understand the proper time to retest or not retest and the optimal interpretation of new test results: why there are changes or no changes

Why create a course for reversing and preventing all Autoimmune Disease?

One of the reasons I am so passionate about AD is the story of Glenn Frey of the American rock band The Eagles. What happened to Glenn should never happen to anyone but is typical for many people with AD. Glenn Frey was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, an AD that eventually destroys the affected joints. He was prescribed the typical medicines for AD but because they don’t fix the underlying reasons why the immune system attacks specific body parts, the problem kept getting worse. Glenn died in January 2016 after suffering for years.

Did Glenn Frey die from RA? No. He died of acute ulcerative colitis and pneumonia that no amount of antibiotics could clear because his immune system was so suppressed. His death was a result of the autoimmune disease process just getting worse until he developed a second AD that attacked his gut. The immunosuppressant medication he was on increased the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections, so the antibiotics prescribed to treat his pneumonia were useless. This scenario is happening around the world, there are countless unnecessary deaths due to the mistreatment of AD. 

In fact, autoimmune disease is a top 10 killer of all women in the United States from birth to 65 years of age. It is estimated, in the US alone, 50 million people have an autoimmune disease. 80% of which are women. These numbers are quite similar in all of the developed nations and growing rapidly in the developing countries.

So if this course can help educate more people on how to address the underlying mechanism of the disease and not just the symptoms, we’d be able to save many more people from what happened to Glenn Frey.

This Is For: 

  • You're a patient-focused, holistically-minded nurse practitioner, doctor or other medical professional.
  • You've had basic training in traditional or allopathic medicine
  • You're a clinician involved in the care of patients with autoimmune disease or other chronic disease.
  • You're a non-medical person with an autoimmune disease or who wants to help someone close who does have an AD.

This Is Not For:

  • You're not interested in learning about functional and integrative medicine 
  • You're not interested in learning about the causes and how to reverse not only autoimmune disease but chronic disease in general.
  • You don’t have an extra 1-2 hours a week to work through the course material
  • You’re looking for a quick fix, band-aid solution to AD 

  • You don’t believe that AD can be reversed or prevented 

Testimonials

“The education provided by The Autoimmune Paradigm: An Experts Program Course has assisted me in providing a more well-rounded and holistic approach to medicine for my patients' health care needs.  Through the videos, the books, and the student learning objectives I have learned and been able to successfully apply the principles to my daily practice. I also learned to look for the root cause of their problems and help them achieve optimal health by using supplements, lifestyle changes, and relaxation techniques.  I love that I can help patients turn around their autoimmune disease and live a more active and healthier life.”

Candiss Aschenbrenner, FNP-c

“I’ve been dealing with autoimmune disease-related illness for 15 years. My previous doctors were incurious and wanted me to simply take a pill to counter symptoms without actually addressing the root causes of my illness. Today I feel like a new person. I haven’t felt this good since high school. Dr. Bilstrom has given me my quality of life back.”

Brent Wilson

“Dr. Bilstrom has improved my quality of life. He has done more for me in a few months than any of the doctors I have seen over the last 10 years. He truly cares about helping his patients.”
