Autoimmune, Inflammatory & Chronic Care

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Therapy

At the doses used here, naltrexone is not doing what it does at full dose. It is used as an immunomodulator — nudging a dysregulated immune system rather than suppressing it.

Who this is for

Patients with autoimmune and pain-related conditions where the goal is regulation rather than suppression.

An autoimmune condition with ongoing inflammatory activity
Chronic pain that has not responded to the usual routes
Fatigue and inflammation persisting between flares
Wanting an option that modulates rather than suppresses immunity
Concern about the long-term cost of immunosuppressive medication
A functional evaluation showing chronic immune activation

LDN is one tool within a wider plan. Whether it belongs in yours follows from a functional evaluation, not from a diagnosis alone.

What the program includes

A functional evaluation first

Lab tests for hormones, inflammation and cellular aging markers, from which your provider builds a personalized plan. LDN is prescribed from that picture, not ahead of it.

Immunomodulatory dosing

A low-dose therapy used to help regulate the immune system and lower chronic inflammation in autoimmune and pain-related conditions.

Combined where appropriate

LDN is often paired with peptides and targeted nutrition — for example in inflammatory bowel conditions, where the aim is easing symptoms while restoring gut function.

Ongoing oversight

Response and tolerability are reviewed and the dose adjusted, rather than set once and repeated.

How this program runs

Foundational Assessment — $599

A full biological picture before anything is prescribed: symptoms, history, goals and comprehensive bloodwork, reviewed by Dr. Varano.

Membership — $279 / month

Ongoing clinical oversight, direct clinician messaging between visits, and protocol adjustments based on how you actually respond.

Your protocol

Built to your labs and your goals, then re-checked and adjusted as your numbers move. Nothing here is a fixed script.

Current program pricing is listed on the specialty treatment plans page.

What we track

Inflammatory markers and symptom pattern are followed together, and the protocol is revised from both. Chronic conditions are judged over months rather than weeks, which is what the membership model is built for.

Questions patients ask us

How do I get started with anti-aging therapy for an autoimmune condition?

The first step is a functional medicine evaluation, which includes lab tests for hormones, inflammation, and cellular aging markers. From there, your provider will create a personalized plan.

How does anti-aging medicine assist with ulcerative colitis?

It tackles the root causes—chronic inflammation, immune imbalance, and gut dysfunction—through therapies like low-dose naltrexone, peptides, and targeted nutrition to ease symptoms and restore function.

How does this differ from standard autoimmune drugs?

Rather than immunosuppressants that block symptoms, this approach supports immune balance and helps the body heal from within by addressing root imbalances.

What distinguishes this from conventional autoimmune treatments?

Conventional medicine often concentrates on symptom control through immunosuppressants. Anti-aging therapy goes deeper by restoring cellular health, regulating hormones, and modulating the immune system.
