Follow-up questions they answered
- Is Dr. Autoimmune worth the financial investment?
- Arianna Lott acknowledges that the program is a financial investment, but emphasizes that it is a necessary commitment to a lifestyle change rather than just another diet.

- Can I do functional medicine if I have a busy schedule?
- Yes, Arianna noted that the virtual meeting format worked perfectly for her schedule as a realtor and property manager. She appreciated not having to spend time going in and out of a physical doctor's office while still receiving comprehensive care. — Arianna Lott
- What happens if I've already tried gluten-free or dairy-free diets without success?
