Who is MYAutoimmuneMD?
Hi! I am Dr. Micah Yu, a physician and also an autoimmune warrior. I am a triple board certified Rheumatologist and have a private practice called Dr. Lifestyle in Newport Beach California where I see patients worldwide.
I was diagnosed with autoimmune disease at a young age but found out ways to eventually use food as medicine and fight my disease.
Because of my disease and personal journey navigating the integrative side of medicine, I created MYAutoimmuneMD to help people around the world navigate difficult autoimmune diseases as it can be a complicated journey.

My integrative approach to healing not only focuses on nutrition, but also focuses on overall lifestyle. We have the power to transform our bodies into a much healthier state. We are stronger than we think.
