Mitochondria play a vital role in immune cell function by regulating key processes: 🔹 Apoptosis – Eliminates infected or damaged cells 🔹 Calcium signaling – Activates and coordinates immune responses 🔹 ROS production – Generates signaling molecules crucial for immunity 🔹 Antiviral defense – Triggers pathways that enhance the body's ability to fight infections Strong mitochondria = a stronger immune system!

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.
