Our immune system is our body’s protection against infection and cancer. In autoimmunity, the tools that are used to defend our body are targeted towards inflaming our own tissue.
Pain, fatigue, inflammation, hair loss, brain fog, mood and temperament changes, weakness, neuropathy, vision changes, headaches
A combination of nutritional, lifestyle, healing the gut, pharmaceutical, homeopathic, natural/herbal supplements and addressing root causes of autoimmunity.
Here at the Integrative Medical Clinic of North Carolina we have extensive experience in diagnosis and management of autoimmune disease. Our approach is holistic and includes extensive evaluation into the root cause of the autoimmune presentation and into the symptoms that present. Often in autoimmune disease there can be infectious, hormonal, gut health, mental health and nutritional implications, just to name a few. Our goal is to help you address your entire presentation with or without pharmaceutical management so that you can again be in harmony with your body.
Autoimmune disease has various presentations and effects unique or sometimes overlapping organ systems. Some people even present with more than one defined autoimmune disease. Others have early signs of autoimmunity in the body but don’t yet have a diagnosable specific autoimmune disease. There are autoimmune diseases that are secondary to conditions like Lyme disease or mycotoxin illness and some that are tied directly to food sensitivity or leaky gut.

Whether in person or via televideo, this group is hands down the best I’ve found in the area with the exceptional combination of head, heart, and hands. That they are alopathically and naturopathically trained and proficient is the frosting on the cake! I continue to be impressed by their high standards of excellence, and thorough investigative skills since first discovering them several years ago. I feel privileged to have crossed paths with this group, especially Dr. McGregor. Her smile lights up a whole room. You’re in for a real treat!

I flew across the country to consult with this team of highly trained physicians. With a complicated health history and frustrated with relying solely on traditional methodologies, I sought out this clinic for the physicians’s holistic approach to treating patients. The environment is warm and welcoming, the physicians are extremely thorough and deeply caring. I strongly recommend at least a consultation to any patient seeking alternative care options.

I have finally found a doctor who listens and wants to help! They were open to giving me more natural alternatives, instead of pushing stronger meds with more side effects. They seem to genuinely want to correct the root causes of my medical issues instead of just putting a band aid on them. I feel so relieved to have found such a great office! The doctor offered so many simple recommendations that already have me feeling much better and more like myself. Definitely recommend. You won’t be disappointed.
After years of being told that symptoms that I was suffering from were “normal” for a woman my age and feeling dismissed by past doctors, I had extensive blood work as well as other testing done to confirm that there was a deep rooted problem which caused many other health issues. Diligence has paid off and after a year of working with Addie I am feeling better not just physically but mentally as well. She has always been very transparent with her approach and has educated me to understand better how the systems of our bodies work together. I have never felt so heard by a medical professional and for that alone, they deserve full credit!
I am a strong believer in using natural medicine whenever possible but I like having doctors that have the training to use either or both natural/holistic and conventional medicine.
The office has calming esthetics unlike most medical settings.
Thank you for creating a great practice that is patient centered!
Three generations of my family receive solutions and preventative pathways to health at IMCNC.
The IMCNC practice delivers extended healthcare services delivered by skilled practitioners. I have experienced benefit from both expert medical intervention and improved sleep and skin, plus experiencing elimination of pain and inflammation by using red light therapy. I feel calm and confident every time I visit IMCNC.
Addie Skow is the most knowledgeable and compassionate Dr. I have ever seen. She tailors her care for my specific issues, which do not have a straightforward diagnosis (endocrine and hormonal problems). She knows how to treat subtle things, and overt problems in a wholistic way. I cannot sing her praises enough. I am so grateful for her and this practice!
If you are looking for a phenomenal practice, this is definitely the place! The staff, doctors and nurses are all wonderful. Addie Skow took her time and explained things so well. I felt like I finally got answers after years of frustration and lots of wasted visits other places. Give this place a try! You won’t be disappointed!

Energy Medicine (EM) is defined as any energetic or informational interaction with a biological system to bring back homeostasis in the organism. EM treats with the understanding that all illness results from disturbances in this energy known as the human biofield (chi or prana), and works by manipulating the body’s energy fields to achieve a positive effect on physical and mental health. Energy Medicine theory states “Physics does not override biochemistry, it drives it.”
