Dr. David Bilstrom,
Autoimmune Functional Medicine MD
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 Autoimmune Functional
Medicine is a science-based approach to reversing
and preventing autoimmune and chronic disease!
This course was created with the simple goal of helping you get up to speed
quickly so you can make an immediate impact on your patients and every
family member that is impacted by their wellness.
I've mastered the art of doing the right testing to pinpoint the root causes of
disease, saving the patient time and money. 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 pioneering approaches
to patient-centered care that transforms patient outcomes and brings joy
and fulfillment to practicing medicine.
Most importantly, you can start reversing and preventing chronic disease
within your own life and family. A healthy you, leaves more strength to help others!

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.

Kortney Olson
“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.”
