Learn to solve the root cause of illness using the fundamentals of Functional Medicine to reverse & prevent autoimmunity
About us
In 2012, Dr. Bilstrom read a New York Times article written by a journalist suffering from autoimmune disease. Despite doctors for years telling her that her lab work looked fine, her health spiraled downward until she could no longer function day to day. He knew no one should have to suffer like that. With already 12 years of experience helping people reverse their autoimmune conditions, including his own son, he had an epiphany. The world desperately needed a revolution in how it was treating autoimmune disease and he knew he had the answer. That night he decided he needed to close his private practice, The Oasis Medical Center near Chicago and create the world’s first hospital-based program specializing in using Functional Medicine to reverse and prevent all autoimmune disease. That realization lead him to Bingham Memorial Center where he helped establish the International Autoimmune Institute, the United States' first teaching hospital program to specialize in the prevention and reversal of all autoimmune disease and being the USA's second Functional Medicine program associated with a teaching hospital. Dr. Bilstrom is on a mission to revolutionize the way autoimmune disease is treated worldwide by teaching the fundamentals of functional medicine. Dr. Bilstrom is quadruple board certified in Functional and Regenerative Medicine, Integrative Medicine, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Medical Acupuncture. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture, and the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. In addition to helping patients reverse their autoimmune and chronic conditions, Dr. Bilstrom has a passion for educating patients and people on the fundamentals of functional medicine so they can live in a way that prevents future disease for themselves, their family and community.

Unlike men, who have one X and one Y chromosome, women have two X chromosomes. At least 85% of the genes on the second X are linked to disease. Effective methylation helps deactivate these genes, promoting optimal health and well-being. Trimethylglycine in a B complex supplement is particularly beneficial for this process, supporting women's health by optimizing the epigenetics of the second X chromosome.

Similar to a city's manufacturing plant situated on the outskirts, the nucleolus functions on the periphery of the nucleus. It plays a vital role in producing essential proteins while managing potential toxic byproducts, much like urban planning avoids placing factories in bustling downtown areas.

The health effects of climate change are vast, including temperature-related illnesses and deaths, air pollution, and infectious diseases. Inhalation of atmospheric carbon dioxide is a direct effect. Current levels are around 400 ppm (0.04%). While not toxic at these levels, higher concentrations could cause symptoms.

Fat-soluble toxins—stored in fat that are difficult to eliminate—undergo this conversion into water-soluble forms easily expelled through sweat, urine, and stool. By reducing inflammation and aiding in toxin elimination, trimethylglycine prevents and reverses autoimmune and chronic disease, enhancing overall health and well-being.

Ensuring optimal health through proper methylation is crucial. Here’s how to support methylation: 1. Nutrient-rich diet: Include cruciferous vegetables, animal protein, and healthy fats. Foods rich in B vitamins like B6, B9 (folate), and B12 support methylation—found in leafy greens, legumes, nuts, seeds, and animal proteins. 2. Nutraceutical supplements: Consider methyl folate (L-5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin (B12) supplements if needed. 3. Limit processed foods: Reduce processed foods and refined carbs intake to preserve essential nutrients. 4. Moderate alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption to prevent interference with methylation and B-vitamin depletion. 5. Regular exercise: Stay active for overall health, including promoting optimal methylation. 6. Stress management: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga to mitigate stress, which can disrupt methylation. 7. Quality sleep: Prioritize sufficient and restful sleep to support bodily functions, including methylation processes. 8. Healthy gut: Maintain gut health for proper nutrient absorption, including B vitamins. 9. Avoid toxins: Minimize exposure to environmental toxins like heavy metals and pesticides, which can hinder methylation.

Methylation is key in this process, helping to turn off harmful genes and activate beneficial ones. If you're not feeling well, it might be because genes are being improperly expressed. Methylated B vitamins support proper gene expression, aiding overall health and well-being.

Over 85% of genes on the second X chromosome must be shut down in every cell to maintain optimal health. The body achieves this by relocating problematic X chromosomes to the cell nucleus periphery, minimizing their impact on cellular function.

Chronic sinusitis involves persistent inflammation of the sinuses lasting 12 or more weeks despite treatment efforts. Key symptoms include: Facial pain and pressure, particularly around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and nose Congestion is often accompanied by thick yellow or green nasal discharge, causing difficulty breathing through the nose Post-nasal drip, a sensation of mucus trickling down the throat, leading to throat irritation and coughing Reduced sense of taste and smell Headaches, especially on the forehead and around the eyes Fatigue can diminish energy levels and hinder daily activities over time These symptoms can significantly impact the quality of life and require appropriate management.

This inflammation increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s, mood disorders, osteoporosis, cancer, and diabetes. While not all are autoimmune diseases, they share chronic inflammation as a common factor. Addressing the root causes of inflammation can help reverse and prevent autoimmune and chronic diseases.
