Functional Naturopath Daniel Sipple and fx Medicine Ambassador Lisa Costa-Bir discuss Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome (MAS). With autoimmmune (AI) diseases developing in clusters it’s important to understand that management takes a multi-pronged approach.  

Join the two naturopaths in a clinically rich discussion that takes you through educating and onboarding patients in the management of autoimmune disease and taking care of the 25% who will experience MAS. They discuss how to recognise possible signs and symptoms connected to MAS, the three types of MAS and what to look for when undertaking functional tests.  

Understand how patient care involves not only treating the area impacted but importantly, addressing the root cause of immune dysfunction itself and various treatment options to implement using herbals, nutrients, probiotics, lifestyle (addressing stress and sleep) and diet for management of MAS.
