Stuck With No Answers?
You Deserve To Feel Heard , Understood , & Vibrant .
You've navigated complex healthcare journeys, often feeling unheard and dismissed. Countless doctors, endless appointments, and the same frustrating lines: “Your labs are normal,” “It’s all in your head,” or “Just try managing your symptoms.”
But deep down, you know something’s not right. Whether it’s relentless fatigue, food sensitivities that seem to come out of nowhere, or unexplained flare-ups of inflammation, your body is sending signals that deserve to be heard.
You know your body best, and those signals hold valuable wisdom.
Instead of finding the safe space and understanding you need, you’re met with closed minds and dismissed by traditional systems. Told to manage symptoms without real solutions. It’s isolating, and it makes you question your own reality.
You long for a healthcare experience that honors your voice, choice, and agency.
This isn’t the kind of care that promotes true healing. We believe in the power of presence and attunement. At The Immune Confidence Institute, we do things differently.
Ohio’s Premier Immune System Expert
Hi, I’m Dr. Kara Wada , & I’ve Been Where You Are.
As a board-certified allergist, immunologist, lifestyle and functional medicine physician, I’ve helped countless patients navigate the same complex healthcare journeys you’re facing. But beyond my credentials, I’m also a patient. I live with an autoimmune condition, and I’ve personally walked the path of uncertainty, frustration, and seeking answers.
This lived experience fuels my commitment to creating a safe and empowering space for your healing.
That’s why I founded The Immune Confidence Institute and the Immune Confident Approach. I believe in the power of presence, attunement, and honoring your body's innate wisdom.
By blending the best of modern medicine with integrative, science-supported care, and incorporating my training in Reiki, life coaching, and trauma-informed practices, I help you uncover the root cause of your symptoms and give you the tools to take back control of your health. I understand the importance of voice, choice, and agency in your healing journey.
Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that works for your unique body and lifestyle—so you can live with confidence, ease, and vitality. My goal is to support you in tapping into your inherent healing capacity, allowing you to "make your own medicine.

Our Guiding Principles
Care That Goes Beyond Symptom Management
At The Immune Confident Institute, our approach is built on three core values:
Curiosity
We don’t just treat symptoms; we listen deeply to your body’s signals.
By asking "why" and honoring your inherent wisdom, we uncover the root causes of immune dysfunction.
Compassion
Healing starts with feeling truly seen and heard. As both a physician and patient, and with my training in trauma-informed care, I understand what it means to navigate complex health journeys.
I provide care with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to creating a safe space for your vulnerability.
Connection
True healing happens in partnership. We work together, honoring your voice, choice, and agency, to create a personalized plan that fits your life, your values, and your goals.
We also utilize my training in Reiki and Life Coaching to empower you on your journey.
The Immune Confident Approach isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about empowering you with the tools, knowledge, and care needed to reclaim your health and tap into your own inherent healing capacity.
