Erin Faules, DO
Premium Physician & Autoimmune Specialist · Wild Health
Autoimmunity, hormones, fertility, and complex chronic illness care from a DO with lived lupus-recovery experience
About
Erin Faules, DO trained at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, worked in rural emergency rooms and hospital medicine, then moved into precision medicine after her own lupus diagnosis changed how she thought about prevention and recovery. Her public bio says diet, movement, meditation, and boundaries helped her put autoimmune symptoms into remission and stay off pharmaceuticals for nearly a decade. At Wild Health, she sees Premium-tier members by telehealth from Texas, with a panel centered on autoimmunity, hormone and fertility questions, and complex chronic illness.
Reviews
What to Know
Signature approach
Faules works from a multi-system read of autoimmune and complex chronic cases: genetics, labs, gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, and recovery patterns. She treats food, movement, and nervous-system regulation as primary levers, and her interest in psychoneuroimmunology shapes how she talks through flare patterns, resilience, and immune recovery.
What sets them apart
- Lived autoimmune experience. Her lupus recovery gives her a first-person lens on the lifestyle and precision-medicine tools she now uses with patients.
- Acute-care foundation. Rural ER and hospital medicine experience helps her triage complex cases that do not fit one clean specialty focus.
- Additional training. Genomics fellowship work and functional-medicine training sit on top of family-medicine board certification.
