Experienced, passionate, autoimmune-focused

We believe in you-focused care. We want to give you hope that you can get back to being you.

We’re reimagining autoimmune care.

Founded by autoimmune patient advocates, patient-doctors and experienced healthcare executives, our promise is that we will provide access to affordable, personalized, collaborative care, so that you can live your best possible life.

Based on a belief that the body’s own natural healing is the most powerful, our empathetic, highly trained, multi-disciplinary care team spent years testing and improving a methodology to help people -- including themselves -- reach remission.
