The trillions of microbes living in your gut do more than digest food—they help regulate your immune system, protect against inflammation, and may even influence your risk for autoimmune disease. Discover how gut health, antibiotics, food choices, and even time in nature all play a role in your overall well-being—and learn practical steps to support your microbiome for better autoimmune health.

Lupus is often called “the great imitator” because it can affect nearly every organ and mimic many other conditions. While a lupus diagnosis can feel overwhelming, there is real hope: with early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and holistic care, many people living with lupus experience long periods of remission and lead full, active lives. At UnabridgedMD, we blend modern medicine with mind-body healing, supporting you every step of the way.

Learn why remission—not a cure—is the key goal in autoimmune and rheumatologic diseases. Discover what remission means, how it improves quality of life, and why early, strong treatment is critical to stopping inflammation and protecting long-term health.
