Lab Testing For Autoimmunity: The Key to Personalized Healing

In this episode of Integrative Medicine with Dr. Leland Stillman, Dr. Stillman and Amy Arp dive deep into the role of laboratory testing in uncovering and addressing autoimmunity. Many patients come to the practice frustrated by vague diagnoses, mystery symptoms, and treatments that don’t work. Dr. Stillman explains why precise diagnostic testing is the cornerstone of his Autoimmunity Recovery Program, and how tests like Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), comprehensive blood work, and targeted allergy testing can reveal hidden drivers of chronic illness.

Amy shares her personal healing experience, reflecting on the impact of food elimination, careful reintroduction, and why overly restrictive diets may not always be the best long-term solution. Together, they discuss common testing pitfalls, from ordering labs that don’t change treatment protocols to relying on outdated results. They emphasize the importance of choosing practitioners who understand both the strengths and limitations of testing, as well as the critical need to personalize care for each patient.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed with autoimmunity or searching for better answers after years of frustration, this conversation will help you understand which lab tests truly matter and why working with the right practitioner makes all the difference.
