Immune System Support & Optimization – Symptoms, Causes, Natural Treatments & Integrative Solutions

Why Immune Health Needs a Precision Approach?

Your immune system is the frontline of health—but chronic stress, toxin exposure, infections, and nutrient deficiencies can wear it down. At Patients Medical in New York City, we focus on integrative immune system support that combines advanced testing, individualized nutrition, targeted supplements, and regenerative therapies to rebuild resilience and defend your health long-term.Led by Dr. Rashmi Gulati and our board-certified integrative team, we don’t just mask symptoms—we help your immune system be smarter, stronger, and more balanced.

What Is Immune System Support & Optimization?
This program uses a combination of advanced diagnostics and targeted therapies to identify and address imbalances in your immunity—whether you’re prone to infections, battling chronic illness, facing autoimmunity, or just aiming for peak defense. We tailor everything—from nutrition and supplementation to mind-body care—to optimize antimicrobial function, inflammation control, gut–immune balance, and cellular regeneration.

Common Immune-Related Challenges

Our immune support programs are particularly beneficial for those experiencing:

Root Causes We Investigate

Immune dysfunction often hides underlying triggers. Our work begins with uncovering:

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Immune panels (CBC with subset counts)

Inflammatory biomarkers (CRP, ESR, cytokines)

Nutrient assays (Vitamin D, C, B complex, magnesium)

Oxidative stress markers (glutathione levels)

Gut microbiome and permeability testing

Heavy metal & chemical toxic burden panels

Viral reactivation screens (EBV, CMV, HSV)

Adrenal and sex hormone profiles

Integrative Treatment Plan for Immune Support

Functional Nutrition & Elimination Plans

We help rebuild immune resilience through anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense meal protocols—often incorporating elimination phases (e.g., gluten, dairy, processed sugar) plus immune-boosting whole foods like leafy greens, wild salmon, bone broth, and antioxidant-rich berries.

Targeted Nutrient Supplementation

Our customized supplement regimens include:

  • Vitamin D, C, B12 & methylated B-complex
  • Zinc, selenium, and glutathione precursors
  • Medicinal mushrooms (reishi, cordyceps) and herbs (echinacea, astragalus)
  • Omega‑3 fatty acids and botanical antioxidants

Dosages are determined by lab results and individualized needs.

IV and Subcutaneous Therapies

For acute need or deeper support, we offer:

  • IV Immune Boosters with Vitamin C, glutathione, zinc, magnesium
  • Subcutaneous peptide injections for immune modulation

These are administered in a clinical setting under medical supervision.

Stress Fatigue

Stress Fatigue

Emotional health impacts immunity. We combine adaptogens, guided meditation, and cortisol–modulating protocols. Where needed, bioidentical hormone support is introduced to optimize both stress and thyroid axes.

Gut Health Restoration

Boosting gut health directly improves immune response. We use personalized protocols: probiotics, prebiotics, gut‑healing nutrients, or antimicrobials when indicated to restore balance and reduce immune activation.

Gut Health Restoration

Real Case Study: Robert’s Immune Rebound

Robert, a 55-year-old teacher, faced repeated bronchitis each fall. His labs showed low Vitamin D, moderate EBV reactivation, elevated CRP, and gut dysbiosis.

Over 12 weeks, he followed an integrative immune protocol: dietary plan, immune-nutrient IV sessions, probiotic therapy, adaptogen support, and EBV-targeted herbs. By week 8, he reported no bronchitis episodes and regained stamina. Repeat labs confirmed improved markers and viral suppression.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Yes—our program strengthens all arms of your immune system to reduce infection frequency and severity.

Not always; IVs are offered based on lab needs and clinical assessment to accelerate nutrient restoration or immune recovery.

Many patients notice energy or resilience shifts within 4–8 weeks; more complex cases take 3–6 months for sustained results.

Yes—particularly for chronic inflammation or unexplained symptoms. We test for markers like ANA, thyroid antibodies, or specific organ-directed antibodies.

 Our protocols are designed to support—not conflict—with medications or immunizations. We review all treatments beforehand for full safety.

 Immune system optimization is considered complementary. While treatments may not be covered, we provide superbills for lab tests and consultations for reimbursement.
