As the Director of the International Autoimmune Institute & Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine, Dr. Bilstrom is affiliated with the first medical center in the country associated with a teaching hospital to treat all types of autoimmune diseases. The center is the first in the nation to utilize nature and its healing properties as a fundamental component of a wellness program.

Dr. Bilstrom is passionate about educating individuals and medical professionals on the importance of reversing and preventing autoimmune diseases using the fundamentals of Functional Medicine.

He is also a sought-after speaker and has lectured on five continents.

In 2018, Dr. Bilstrom declared and named a positive ANA as Bilstrom’s Nuclearitis, because by definition an antinuclear antibody is antibodies being produced by a confused immune system, attacking a person’s nuclear material (DNA). Named in 2018 and first published in 2020, in the textbook Advanced Therapeutics in Pain Medicine, Chapter 6: Managing Pain in the Presence of Autoimmune Disease.

I lost 8 years of my life because of poor financial decisions that lead to a mountain of debt. These poor financial decisions were a result of my immature grandiosity and poor daily habits. At the same time I found myself divorced and completely out of shape. Every problem under the Sun has the same singular source - conflict or flaws within the mind. My mess was a result of flawed character. I eventually surmounted these challenges and resolved my internal division by unifying my mind and body - by bridging the gap between the conscious and the subconscious to yield the Ultraconscious. The Ultraconscious is the unborn entity with - our highest and best self that we are all being called to become - letting go of our ego control and allowing the source to flow through us. My job is to help people uncover their true individuality and strength; to become free in spirit no matter what the physical circumstances may be. The best path is a fusion of form and intellect, skill and substance. The process of cultivating genius is simple but not easy. Hybrid mastery entails nurturing your mind and your body so that you may clearly access the source – this is how you become a Unified Man. A Unified Man is clear. A Unified Man is strong. A Unified Man is in control. A Unified Man rules his internal territory – he has built a Nation from Within.
