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.

In this course, you’ll learn to:

Define autoimmune disease from a functional and clinical lens

Explore contributing factors, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle triggers

Understand how chronic inflammation plays a role in autoimmune progression

Apply functional strategies to support immune system balance and patient well-being

Shift from reaction to prevention—and help patients heal from the inside out.
