Autoimmune and Chronic Inflammatory
Adrenal Fatigue
What is Adrenal Fatigue?
Your adrenal glands sit right next to your kidneys and produce and process important substances such as cortisol and DHEA. It also plays an essential role in the feedback loop including the hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal axis and its dysfunction can have diffuse and severe effects. Cortisol is the main “stress hormone” in your body. In times of stress, it increases and prepares your cells to accomplish tasks that may need to be done urgently in order to protect your body. This is a good system in the short term. If this stress response is prolonged, excess cortisol will do damage to your cells and may lead to elevated glucose levels and diabetes, obesity, anxiety and depression. After a long and continued release of cortisol, your adrenal glands get burned out and they are no longer able to keep up with the demands of your body.

How does Adrenal Fatigue affect me?
Symptoms of adrenal fatigue may include: afternoon slump at 3 or 4pm then constant fatigue, joint and muscle aches, multiple allergies/sensitivities, rashes, psoriasis, frequent illness, depression, anxiety, digestive issues, and sugar or salt cravings
What treatments are available for Adrenal Fatigue?
Treatment for adrenal fatigue begins with a consultation with one of our providers who will guide laboratory testing, lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, and hormone replacement. Together, we’ll develop your personalized treatment path.
What is the process involved with Adrenal Fatigue treatment?
Autoimmune disorders
What is the process involved with Adrenal Fatigue treatment?
Autoimmune disorders are a group of diseases of dysregulation of the immune system. The type of immune cells and the type of tissue that is targeted differ between the disorders. Examples include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vasculitis, Sjogren’s disease, Celiac’s disease, Vitiligo, Multiple sclerosis, Grave’s disease and many more.
How do Autoimmune disorders affect me?
The specific diseases will differ in how they affect you. They may target nerves, joints, skin, connective tissue, hormonal glands, or blood vessels. Depending on the type of cell and the target tissue, your symptoms differ. They all produce either pain, discomfort, or loss of function or may produce all three.
What treatments are available for Autoimmune disorders?
Autoimmune conditions are complex. ReGen infusions does not diagnose autoimmune disorders and we are not your primary source for treatment. We encourage anyone with an autoimmune disorder to consult with their primary physician and a rheumatologist. There are many FDA approved treatments which can be very effective in treating your condition. *At ReGen, we offer medicinal signalling cell (MSC or stem cell) therapy for patients who do not respond to mainstream treatments or who may have side effects from those treatments that interfere with their lives. We also offer low dose naltrexone therapy which has recently started to show promise in helping with inflammatory conditions.
What is the process involved with Autoimmune treatment?
To help those with autoimmune disorders, we infuse MSCs into your body through a vein. The MSCs contain messaging information that targets dysfunctional immune cells and helps regulate their activity. The infusion takes about 45-60 minutes and is combined with an IV solution of vitamins and peptides to support your body’s natural processes.

*MSCs are not FDA approved for treating autoimmune disorders. The FDA has not evaluated MCSs for safety or efficacy. Low dose naltrexone is not FDA approved to treat autoimmune disorders and its use for this purpose has not been evaluated by the FDA.
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain Syndromes
What is Fibromyalgia?
Pain is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong, usually that there is tissue damage or injury. Signals from your peripheral nerves travel to your brain where you process those signals. Because our brains are connected to more than our musculoskeletal system (emotions, hormones, pleasure centers, hunger input and higher level processing) signals sometimes get crossed and sensations from the musculoskeletal system that may not be unpleasant by themselves are connected to emotional signals that can be very unpleasant (trauma/abuse). Our brains then process non-damaging inputs as danger and to be avoided. Fibromyalgia is complex in that it involves confusion between our signalling systems for physical pain, emotional pain, fight or flight issues and mental health. Treating fibromyalgia as purely musculoskeletal pain is only addressing one component of a multifaceted problem.
How does Fibromyalgia affect me?
Fibromyalgia causes pain and unpleasant sensations from contact that normally shouldn’t cause pain. Light to moderate touch to certain areas of the body elicits a painful response. Because of the heightened sensitivity to physical contact, fibromyalgia makes relationships, physical activity and everyday life difficult to enjoy. Fibromyalgia is closely associated with gastrointestinal issues, headaches, idiopathic chronic pain syndromes, depression and anxiety. Sometimes we call these conditions mind-body syndromes because they all involve dysfunctional neural processing of normal environmental inputs. Eventually, your body thinks that pain is its natural state and doesn’t need active tissue damage or unpleasant input to cause the sensation of pain.
What treatments are available for Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia and other mind-body syndromes should be treated with a more holistic approach than treating only one aspect of the condition. *Ketamine has natural pain relief properties but also has significant influence on neurons in the brain to remodel so it can better process incoming signals. New studies are suggesting that low dose naltrexone therapy may improve symptoms for those with fibromyalgia and mind-body syndromes. Nutritional support with peptides and vitamins as well as hormone testing and replacement can play a big part in helping people with fibromyalgia, chronic pain and mind-body syndromes heal, restore and revive.
*Ketamine is not approved by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia.
