Is This You?

You have a diagnosis, but you still don't feel well

These are some of the autoimmune concerns our naturopathic doctors assess every week.

Managed, not investigated

Your immune system turned on you. The question is what triggered it, and what keeps it going. That's the layer we test for.

Normal labs, persistent symptoms

Your TSH comes back in range, but your antibodies are elevated. Your inflammation markers are "fine," but you still feel off. A standard panel wasn't built to find this. A targeted one is.

Skin flares that keep returning

Eczema, psoriasis, rashes that cycle no matter what you apply. Topical treatments address the surface. We assess the immune and gut factors that drive skin-related autoimmune flares.

Gut issues alongside your condition

Bloating, food reactions, irregular bowel movements. Research links gut permeability to autoimmune activation. We test for intestinal inflammation, microbial imbalance, and food-driven immune responses.

Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix

You're getting 8 hours and still waking up drained. Autoimmune fatigue involves immune signalling, nutrient depletion, and HPA axis disruption, not just tiredness.

Multiple symptoms, no full picture

Joint pain. Brain fog. Skin changes. Weight shifts. Mood swings. Five symptoms, or one immune process wearing five masks. We test to find out which.

How It Works

How We Assess Your Autoimmune Health at Insynco

A structured, evidence-informed process. Here's what a typical autoimmune care journey looks like at Insynco.

60-Minute Initial Assessment

Your ND takes a full health history: when symptoms started, what triggers flares, current medications, digestive health, stress levels, hormonal patterns, and family history of autoimmune conditions. Autoimmune disease is assessed in the context of your whole body, not as an isolated diagnosis.

Comprehensive Autoimmune Testing

We're not running tests to confirm your diagnosis. You already have one. We're testing to find out what's feeding it. A typical panel could include immune markers (ANA, rheumatoid factor), thyroid antibodies (TPO), full thyroid panel, inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, ESR), cortisol, insulin, celiac screening, and key nutrients (vitamin D, B12, iron, zinc). In some cases, food sensitivity or gut health testing may be included. Your ND orders the testing your case calls for, and you see the cost before anything is ordered.†

Personalized Autoimmune Protocol

Based on your results, your ND builds a targeted plan: anti-inflammatory nutrition changes, gut repair where indicated, evidence-informed supplementation, stress management strategies, and elimination of identified triggers. Every recommendation is tied to your actual lab data, not generic advice.

Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustment

Follow-up testing tracks real progress over time. Most patients begin noticing measurable shifts in inflammatory markers, energy levels, and flare frequency within the first 3 to 6 months. Your protocol is adjusted based on what the numbers show at each check-in, not guesswork, so the approach evolves as your body responds.

What We Investigate

What We Actually Test For

You've read about gut permeability, microbiome disruption, food triggers, and chronic inflammation. You already know they're connected to autoimmune activity. The difference here: we test for them, measure them, and build your protocol around what we find.

Gut permeability testing
Microbiome analysis
Inflammatory marker panels
Food sensitivity screening
Nutrient status assessment
Cortisol and stress response
Hormonal panel review
Environmental trigger evaluation

Each factor is assessed through targeted testing, not assumptions. Where results indicate an issue, your protocol addresses it directly, whether through nutrition, gut repair, supplementation, or coordinated care with your rheumatologist or endocrinologist.

The Insynco Approach

What Makes This Different

Not generic immune advice. Here's how the Insynco system works for autoimmune health.

01

Works With Your Medical Team

Already seeing a rheumatologist or endocrinologist? Good. Naturopathic care complements medical treatment by addressing the nutritional, gut health, and lifestyle factors not typically part of a standard autoimmune workup. We don't replace your medical team. We fill the gaps they don't cover.

02

Ongoing Tracking, Not Just Treatment

We retest at regular intervals so you can see what's changing. Antibody trends, inflammatory markers, nutrient levels. Your protocol adjusts based on data, not assumptions, and you see the trajectory over time.

03

Collaborative Care Team

Your ND leads your care plan and can bring in another ND on our team when your case calls for a second perspective. Our support team handles scheduling and follow-up.

04

Whole-System Assessment

Autoimmune disease affects multiple systems. We assess the immune, digestive, hormonal, and metabolic factors that may be contributing to your condition, then address them together, not in isolation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers to the questions we hear most often about naturopathic autoimmune care.

Can a naturopathic doctor help with autoimmune disease?+
Yes. Naturopathic doctors assess autoimmune conditions by identifying factors that may be driving immune activation, including gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and food sensitivities. Through comprehensive testing and a personalized protocol, the goal is to reduce flare frequency and severity and support your overall quality of life. Learn about our approach to hormonal health.
What testing do you run for autoimmune conditions?+
A typical autoimmune panel could include inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, ESR, ferritin), immune markers (ANA, rheumatoid factor), full thyroid panel with antibodies (TSH, T3, T4, TPO), cortisol, insulin, celiac screening, and key nutrients (vitamin D, B12, iron, zinc). In some cases, food sensitivity or gut health testing may be included. Your ND confirms the cost of each test with you before anything is ordered.†
Is Hashimoto's thyroiditis an autoimmune condition?+
Yes. Hashimoto's is one of the most common autoimmune conditions. The immune system produces antibodies that attack the thyroid gland, often leading to hypothyroidism. A naturopathic assessment includes thyroid antibody testing (TPO and anti-thyroglobulin) alongside a full thyroid panel to identify the autoimmune component and build a protocol that addresses both thyroid function and immune regulation. Learn about our approach to hormonal health.
Can gut health affect autoimmune disease?+
Yes. Research increasingly points to the gut-immune connection as a key factor in autoimmune conditions. Intestinal permeability, microbiome imbalances, and chronic gut inflammation can all contribute to immune dysregulation. A naturopathic autoimmune assessment often includes digestive health markers alongside immune and inflammatory panels. Learn about our approach to digestive health.
How long does a naturopathic autoimmune protocol typically take?+
Most autoimmune protocols run 3 to 6 months or longer. The immune system responds gradually, so meaningful changes in antibody levels, inflammatory markers, and symptom patterns build over time. Follow-up testing at regular intervals tracks real progress so your protocol can be adjusted based on data, not guesswork.
Can food sensitivities make autoimmune conditions worse?+
Food sensitivities can contribute to chronic inflammation and may worsen autoimmune symptoms. Unlike immediate food allergies, sensitivity reactions can be delayed by hours or days, making them difficult to identify without testing. IgG food sensitivity testing and structured elimination protocols are common tools used in naturopathic autoimmune assessments.
Is naturopathic autoimmune care covered by insurance?+
Naturopathic consultations are covered by most extended health insurance plans in Ontario. Lab tests are billed separately, and we confirm the cost with you before anything is ordered.† Visit our pricing page for full details.
Do I need a referral to see a naturopathic doctor for autoimmune issues?+
No referral is needed. You can book directly through our website and we'll match you with the naturopathic doctor whose clinical focus best fits your concerns.
What if I'm already seeing a rheumatologist or other doctor?+
That's common and completely fine. Naturopathic care is designed to complement, not replace, your existing medical treatment. Your ND will work within the context of your current care plan. Many patients find that addressing nutritional, gut health, and lifestyle factors alongside their rheumatologist's or endocrinologist's protocol gives them a more complete approach.
Can stress trigger autoimmune flares?+
Yes. Chronic stress elevates cortisol and activates inflammatory pathways that can worsen autoimmune symptoms and trigger flares. Stress physiology is assessed as part of a comprehensive naturopathic autoimmune evaluation, and stress management strategies are typically included in the protocol.
Is naturopathic autoimmune care evidence-based?+
Naturopathic doctors are trained in evidence-informed clinical practice. Autoimmune assessments use standard laboratory testing interpreted through current research. Our naturopathic doctors are registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario and hold four-year postgraduate degrees from accredited naturopathic medical programs.
What autoimmune conditions do you assess?+
Our naturopathic doctors have extensive experience assessing Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, lupus (SLE), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's and colitis), celiac disease, and many other autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions. The approach focuses on identifying factors driving immune activation rather than managing symptoms alone.
How much does autoimmune testing cost through Insynco?+
Testing costs depend on which tests your case needs. Your ND confirms the cost of each test with you before anything is ordered.† The initial consultation is $325 for a 60-minute assessment. Visit our pricing page for full details.
How do I prepare for my first appointment?+
Bring any recent blood work, test results, or reports from your rheumatologist, endocrinologist, or family doctor. Note any medications you're currently taking, supplements, a timeline of your symptoms, and any known triggers for flares. Your ND will walk you through everything else during the appointment. See our full guide on what to expect.
Can I switch naturopathic doctors if the fit isn't right?+
Absolutely. Finding the right practitioner matters. If you feel the fit isn't quite right, contact our team and we'll help match you with another ND. No penalty, no awkwardness.
