Lupus – A severe condition that can be managed successfully when approached in the right way
Lupus is a serious autoimmune disease that can cause a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and kidney problems. Unfortunately, conventional medicine often does not provide adequate treatment for this complex disease, leaving many patients struggling to manage their symptoms.
The conventional approach to treating lupus typically involves the use of immunosuppressant drugs, such as steroids, to manage inflammation and suppress the immune system. While these drugs can provide some relief, they often come with side effects and may not be effective in managing all of the symptoms associated with lupus. Additionally, conventional medicine may not address the root cause of the disease, leaving patients feeling frustrated and defeated..
At Brickell Rheumatology, we approach Lupus differently
- We recognize that each patient's experience with Lupus is unique and requires a personalized approach to care
- We treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.
- That's why we combine the best of functional medicine and conventional medicine to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to Lupus treatment.

Dr Bojana Jovanovic is a double board certified physician in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. She has been practicing rheumatology for 10 years. In addition to her credentials from The American Board of Internal Medicine / Rheumatology, she also holds a certification from The Institute for Functional Medicine.
But Dr Bojana's journey to becoming a functional medicine expert was not an easy one. At the young age , she was diagnosed with a breast cancer. This life-changing event opened her eyes to the world of functional medicine, and she became a passionate advocate for a more natural and effective approach to health.
Driven by her desire to help others, Dr Bojana immersed herself in the study of functional medicine, and helping patients achieve optimal health and wellness by addressing the root causes of their health issues. Her expertise in rheumatology and functional medicine has made her a sought-after physician.
Lupus and Functional medicine
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. It recognizes that each person's biology, lifestyle, and environment are unique and tailors treatment to each individual.
Our physicians are double board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology, and they are also certified practitioners of IFM, which signifies their advanced training in functional medicine..

How is Functional Medicine Different?
Functional medicine practitioners seek for the cause of the disease “upstream” taking into account patient’s genetic makeup, physiology and lifestyle factors.
Discovering the root cause
Functional medicine addresses the root cause of health issues, rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach involves a complete and personalized assessment.
Individual treatment plan
By identifying imbalances and dysfunctions in the body, we are able to create personalized treatment plan that address the underlying causes of illness.
Conventional medicine with an individual focus
Combining functional medicine with conventional medical treatments for managing chronic conditions can improve outcomes and reduce the need for medication or surgery. Functional medicine aims to create a patient-practitioner partnership.
Long-term natural pain relief supplements
By identifying areas of imbalance or deficiency, we can recommend lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and supplements that can help patients optimize their overall health and prevent recurring health issues.
Our unique approach
allows us to get to the root cause of your health issues and develop
personalized treatment plans that address your specific needs.
Revolutionize your rheumatology care with integrative medicine.
Dr. Jovanovic consider of crucial importance an approach to patients “as a whole” which ultimately increases their chances for a successful treatment and a long term remission.
