In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky sits down with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge to explore nervous system dysregulation and why it has become increasingly common in both adults and children. Dr. Roseann explains what happens when the nervous system has difficulty shifting from a stress state back into a calm, regulated state, and introduces her “stress cup” analogy for understanding how everyday stressors can accumulate until the nervous system becomes overwhelmed.Dr. Roseann discusses how sleep deprivation, chronic health challenges, financial concerns, relationships, travel, sensory stressors, and even positive excitement can add to the body's overall stress load. She also explains how living in a sympathetic-dominant state may affect the immune and endocrine systems and why nervous system regulation can be an important piece of the puzzle for people who feel stuck in their healing journey. Most importantly, she shares simple strategies that can be incorporated throughout the day—including diaphragmatic breathing, Tai Chi, somatic techniques, prayer, grounding, and other “micro resets”—and explains why consistency matters more than spending long periods of time on stress-management practices.Dr. Roseann also discusses co-regulation in children, why parents' nervous systems can influence their children, and how creating more capacity in the nervous system can help both adults and children respond more effectively to stress. In the post-episode chat, Dr. Eric expands on Epstein-Barr virus, thyroid health, Tai Chi, cortisol, insulin, and how frequently to practice nervous system regulation. If you want a clearer, more practical understanding of nervous system dysregulation and how small daily practices may help you become more resilient to stress, you'll get a lot out of this episode.To register for the free 5-day challenge visit www.savemythyroid.com/gravesroadblocks Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!In this episode, I'm joined by Sara Hirsh Bordo, documentary filmmaker, author, and the voice behind Autoimmunity and the Good Girls. This conversation explores the deep connection between women's health, self-betrayal, chronic illness, and the stories we learn to live by.Sara shares her personal journey with autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's, melanoma, Epstein-Barr, mold toxicity, heavy metals, and the moment that led her to ask a life-changing question: if the wrong choices made me sick, could the right choices make me well? From there, she began examining the patterns of self-compromise, people-pleasing, caretaking, and emotional suppression that so many women carry, especially those who were raised to be “good.”In this episode, we discuss: Sara's journey from documentary filmmaker to author The story behind Autoimmunity and the Good Girls How the body speaks through both science and story The connection between self-compromise and immune system compromise Why so many women with autoimmune disease struggle to receive care or ask for help How being raised as the “good girl” can shape the nervous system and the immune system Why self-betrayal can show up in the body as symptoms The difference between giving of yourself and giving up yourself Why boundaries are essential for healing How women often silence themselves, even in doctors' offices The importance of finding providers who make you feel safe, heard, and supported Why curiosity is such an important part of healing How to begin taking inventory of what you actually like, need, and want Why healing can start with one brave little step at a timeThis conversation is an invitation to look at symptoms with curiosity instead of fear, and to begin asking where you may have been taught to abandon yourself in order to be accepted, loved, or seen as good.

Episode 578: From a Missed Bullseye Rash to Lyme Recovery: My Lyme Success Story | Hannah Green

What happens when a young woman who grew up surrounded by horses and the outdoors develops a mysterious red ring after spending a summer working at a horse camp in West Virginia—but no one recognizes the possibility of Lyme disease? In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, we sit down with Hannah Green, a Lyme disease survivor, advocate, and author from England whose international Lyme journey stretches across the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia. Hannah is the author of My Lyme Success Story, a book documenting her personal experience with chronic Lyme disease, the research she conducted while searching for answers, the approaches she believes helped her recover, and the lessons she learned about listening to her body along the way. Tick Boot Camp first met Hannah after she traveled from England to Connecticut for the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala, where patients, researchers, clinicians, authors, advocates, and Lyme community leaders gathered for an evening centered on science, advocacy, connection, and hope. Hannah's story is ultimately about much more than one treatment or protocol. It is about missed warning signs, years without answers, becoming her own researcher, learning to trust herself again, and refusing to give up on the possibility of getting better. Growing Up Around Horses—but Knowing Almost Nothing About Ticks Hannah grew up in southeast England and spent much of her childhood outdoors. Horses became one of her greatest passions, and she eventually trained professionally in riding, horse management, dressage, and eventing. She was also deeply interested in animal health. Hannah spent time working around veterinary medicine and learned about fleas, lice, worms, botflies, equine influenza, strangles, and other conditions affecting horses. Yet one subject was almost completely absent from her education: ticks and Lyme disease. Despite spending years around horses, dogs, cats, veterinary environments, fields, and the English countryside, Hannah remembers receiving virtually no meaningful education about ticks or the infections they can transmit. The West Virginia Horse Camp and Hannah's Possible Lyme Exposure At approximately 19 years old, Hannah traveled alone from England to the United States to work as a riding counselor at a horse camp in West Virginia near the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was a major adventure for someone who describes herself at that age as extremely shy. Hannah suddenly found herself responsible for a cabin of young campers while teaching multiple horseback riding lessons each day. She loved the experience. But the camp also introduced Hannah to something she had never encountered before: ticks. Hannah remembers discovering engorged ticks attached to horses grazing in long grass. After asking what they were, she and other staff members were shown how to remove them. Removing ticks from the horses soon became part of their regular routine. What Hannah does not remember receiving was comprehensive education connecting those ticks with the potential risk of Lyme disease in humans. She recalls being warned about hazards such as poison ivy and rattlesnakes, but she does not remember meaningful tick-bite prevention training for counselors or campers. There was a Lyme disease pamphlet in the staff area, but the information Hannah remembers most strongly involved severe neurological complications such as seizures and paralysis. She did not come away understanding the broad range of symptoms that could develop or recognizing how important an expanding rash could be. The Red Ring That Was Dismissed as a Spider Bite Years later, while reconstructing her medical history after finally learning about Lyme disease, Hannah remembered something important from that summer. She had developed a distinctive red ring on her lower leg. At the time, Hannah says someone told her that it was probably a spider bite and that she should simply keep the area clean and watch it. The rash did not significantly hurt or itch, and it eventually disappeared. No one, according to Hannah's recollection, asked whether she might have been bitten by a tick. She did not connect the rash with the ticks she had been routinely removing from horses, and she did not connect it with the Lyme disease pamphlet she had briefly seen. Hannah believes today that this may have been the event that began her Lyme disease journey. For practical prevention and early-action information, read the Tick Boot Camp Tick Bite Blueprint. The First Sign Something Was Wrong Hannah initially remained extremely healthy and active after leaving the United States. She returned to England and attended Aston Business School near Birmingham. But approximately six months after her time at camp, she began noticing unusual problems with her knees. She was a runner and initially assumed she had simply overtrained. Her knees would ache and sometimes lock, particularly when walking down gentle slopes or moving at certain angles. Cold weather could make the discomfort worse. Because Hannah had been a competitive runner and lifelong equestrian athlete, healthcare professionals often attributed the symptoms to physical activity and wear and tear. She was told variations of the same explanation: runner's knee, overuse, muscle imbalance, or consequences of years of athletic activity. Yet Hannah was still a young woman, and the symptoms continued. Over time, joint problems began appearing elsewhere. Her elbows became involved. Her lower back became increasingly problematic. A diagnosis of scoliosis provided another seemingly logical explanation for some of her pain. Hannah kept adapting and pushing forward. She even completed the London Marathon, although afterward her knees became so painful and locked that she struggled to walk normally for approximately a week. When Her Health Finally Collapsed After university, Hannah continued traveling internationally, including spending time in Borneo and eventually completing a round-the-world trip. Then, around 2006, everything changed. After developing what appeared to be a significant viral illness, Hannah says she never fully recovered. Her shoulder became extremely painful and effectively froze. What followed was no longer an isolated problem with her knees or back. Hannah describes developing a growing collection of debilitating symptoms that included: Severe fatigue and exhaustion Joint and musculoskeletal pain Digestive problems Insomnia Anxiety Depression Episodes of intense anger or rage Memory problems Progressively worsening neurological and systemic symptoms Difficulty maintaining normal work and daily activities She describes the illness as feeling like a combination of flu, glandular fever, and malaria. Instead of resolving, her symptoms continued getting worse for approximately six years. Trying to Keep Working While Becoming Increasingly Ill Hannah attempted to continue working despite her deteriorating health. She worked with horses and also painted portraits professionally, but even limited morning work became increasingly difficult because of overwhelming fatigue. She frequently needed time off and struggled to explain what was happening because she did not understand it herself. Later, while working in a tea shop, Hannah began noticing that her memory was also being affected. She describes 30 or 40 symptoms gradually accumulating, with insomnia, chronic fatigue, and mood changes becoming some of the most difficult to manage. Meanwhile, repeated medical testing failed to provide an explanation. Several doctors told Hannah that her results were normal and that they could not find anything wrong. She says she did not necessarily feel directly accused of imagining her illness, but over time it became easier to stop discussing what she was experiencing because she felt that people were not truly hearing her. Moving to Australia While Searching for Answers Hannah eventually moved to Australia, hoping that a different environment and lifestyle might improve her health. She would spend approximately a decade there. Initially, the excitement of the move helped her keep going. She settled in tropical Darwin and started a graphic design company. Then her health crashed again. During the first wet season, Hannah became severely ill and spent significant periods in bed. Eventually, even working a few hours per day from home became too difficult, and she had to close the company she had built. She developed severe food reactions and describes being bedridden for seven to ten days at a time. Her relationship also ended during this period. Hannah describes eventually losing her business, her apartment, her ability to ride horses, much of her independence, and a significant amount of weight. At her lowest point, she says she would sometimes visit the stables and simply hold herself against a rail while watching the horses because she no longer had the strength to ride or even interact with them normally. The Chance Conversation That Changed Everything One day at the stables, another person noticed how ill Hannah had become. Hannah explained what was happening, and the woman told her about another horse rider with similar symptoms who was seeing a doctor who periodically traveled from Perth to Darwin to work with patients experiencing chronic fatigue and unexplained illness. Hannah and the other woman both scheduled appointments. After reviewing Hannah's extensive symptoms, the physician told her he believed she had late-stage Lyme disease. Hannah says subsequent testing through Australian Biologics was positive for Borrelia. The diagnosis triggered a flood of memories—the ticks on the horses, the pamphlet in West Virginia, and the unexplained red ring on her leg years earlier. For the first time, Hannah felt that the scattered pieces of her story might belong to the same puzzle. Lyme Disease, Co-Infections, and Alternative Testing Hannah continued exploring her illness through a combination of conventional and alternative approaches. She describes undergoing PCR testing through Australian Biologics as well as bioresonance and autonomic response testing. During the interview, Hannah says these alternative assessments suggested possible Borrelia strains, co-infections, active viruses, heavy metals, parasites, yeast overgrowth, gut inflammation, and other abnormalities. Among the infections discussed during her journey were Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia, Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Chlamydia, as well as viral findings including Epstein-Barr virus. It is important to distinguish Hannah's personal experience from established clinical diagnostic standards. Bioresonance and autonomic response testing are not established replacements for validated medical testing for Lyme disease or tick-borne infections. Hannah is sharing what practitioners told her and how those results influenced her personal recovery decisions. Choosing a Different Lyme Treatment Path After receiving her Lyme diagnosis, Hannah says the physician treating her wanted to begin an aggressive multi-antibiotic protocol. Hannah decided not to pursue that approach. She was already extremely weak, her digestive system was severely affected, and she was concerned about medication side effects. Instead, she asked whether there were other options and ultimately chose to spend several months researching Lyme disease treatment approaches around the world. Her family and friends were frightened by the decision, but Hannah says she felt strongly that she needed to find a different path for herself. That decision became the beginning of the recovery strategy she would later document in My Lyme Success Story. Building a Staged, Whole-Person Recovery Plan Hannah describes her recovery not as one treatment, but as a staged process. Working with naturopathic practitioners and combining their guidance with her own research, she focused first on what she describes as improving her body's overall terrain before directly targeting Lyme and co-infections. Her personal strategy included: Reducing environmental stressors Simplifying her lifestyle Changing her diet Supporting gut health Addressing issues practitioners identified as heavy metals and parasites Reducing inflammation Using herbs and supplements Using binders and detoxification strategies Experimenting with bioresonance Meditation and nervous-system calming practices Emotional and trauma-focused work Creating an environment where she felt safe enough to recover Hannah emphasizes that the sequence mattered to her. She believes preparing her body first made it easier to tolerate later interventions. The Diet Change That Gave Her Hope Diet became one of the earliest major changes in Hannah's recovery. Based on the recommendations she was receiving at the time, she adopted a highly individualized, low-inflammatory Paleo-style diet. She says that after approximately four weeks of changing her diet and focusing on cleansing and lifestyle interventions, she felt better than she had in four years. That improvement became a major psychological turning point. For the first time in years, Hannah had tangible evidence that something she was doing might be helping. From there, she continued gradually working through the other areas she believed were contributing to her illness. Herbs, Bioresonance, and Individualized Treatment Hannah experimented extensively with herbs and natural products. She describes using BioPure Quintessence, a herbal tincture containing ingredients including Japanese knotweed and Andrographis, after another product did not feel appropriate for her. She also describes using binders and other detoxification strategies while gradually increasing the intensity of her treatment. Bioresonance became another major part of her personal approach. Hannah says she used a portable device at home for approximately six months and also used bioresonance testing to help guide decisions about foods, herbs, and supplements. She reports that, through the overall combination of approaches she was using, she went from being largely bedbound to symptom-free in approximately 11 months. That is Hannah's personal account and should not be interpreted as evidence that the same interventions will produce the same results for another person. The Story Behind Hannah's "Lyme-Busting Drink" One memorable moment in the interview involves something Hannah jokingly calls her "Lyme-busting drink." Hannah says she gathered several antimicrobial ingredients in her kitchen and intuitively selected ingredients to combine into a homemade preparation. She later took the mixture to her naturopath, who tested it using the bioresonance method they were working with. Hannah says the mixture tested strongly for her. The larger takeaway from this part of the story is not that listeners should reproduce Hannah's homemade mixture. Rather, Hannah uses the story to illustrate just how individualized and experimental her own recovery process became. She repeatedly emphasizes listening to her own body and adjusting what she was doing based on how she felt. Learning to Trust Her Body Again One of the strongest themes throughout Hannah's interview is intuition. Years of unexplained illness can cause people to question themselves, especially after repeated normal tests or medical appointments that fail to provide answers. Hannah says she never entirely lost the belief that her body was telling her something important. When she was told nothing could be found, she continued searching. When one explanation did not make sense to her, she kept looking. And once she finally received a diagnosis, she approached recovery with the same determination. Rich identifies this as one of the most powerful parts of Hannah's story: despite years of confusion and dismissal, she continued trusting her own observations enough to keep investigating. Mindset, Spirituality, and Asking for Help Hannah also describes a major shift in her mindset and spirituality. For much of her life, she had been fiercely independent and believed that she could solve any problem herself. At her sickest, that changed. Hannah remembers lying in a dark room, sometimes barely able to lift her head, and finally looking outside and simply asking for help. She describes this as a turning point. A housemate later gave her a book about the Law of Attraction and introduced her to meditation. Hannah says these ideas reawakened something she remembered from childhood: a strong belief that mindset, intention, and action could help shape the direction of her life. She began meditating regularly and eventually built up to approximately 45-minute sessions. Whether listeners share Hannah's spiritual framework or not, the interview makes clear that hope and belief became important psychological resources during a period when her physical circumstances gave her very little reason to feel optimistic. Trauma, NLP, and Emotional Healing Hannah's recovery eventually expanded into emotional and trauma-focused work. She describes exploring Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP, after reflecting on experiences from earlier in her life. One particularly powerful realization involved her premature birth. Hannah was born approximately three months early and spent significant time in an incubator, separated from her mother. During a later meditation experience, Hannah says she suddenly connected that early experience of illness and isolation with what she was experiencing as an adult. She later participated in NLP-based work that involved revisiting and reframing those experiences. Toward the end of her recovery, Hannah also explored Faster EFT, combining tapping and other emotional-processing techniques. She says she realized that even after becoming physically healthier, she had developed significant fear about leaving her home and becoming ill again. After working through some of those fears and other emotional experiences, she felt more capable of re-entering normal life. For Hannah, physical recovery, emotional recovery, mindset, spirituality, and lifestyle became deeply interconnected parts of the same journey. From Bedbound to What Hannah Describes as Fully Recovered Hannah says she eventually went from being largely bedbound to symptom-free over approximately 11 months. She attributes that change not to one single intervention, but to the sequencing and combination of approaches she personally used. She emphasizes reducing inflammation and other stressors first, then gradually addressing the infections and other issues she believed were affecting her. Her experience shaped one of the central messages she now shares with other Lyme patients: recovery does not necessarily have to happen through the most aggressive approach available. She encourages people to work with knowledgeable practitioners, move carefully, and allow the body time to recover. As she says during the interview, she believes there is value in "slow, steady, gentle" healing, while also emphasizing the importance of appropriate medical supervision. Why Hannah Wrote My Lyme Success Story Once Hannah had recovered, she began organizing everything she had documented during her illness. Her background made that process unusually natural. Hannah had experience in graphic design, photography, writing, editing, and copywriting. She had also meticulously recorded what she tried during her illness—partly because she wanted a record in case she ever became sick again. Eventually, people began encouraging her to write a book. That became Hannah Green: My Lyme Success Story. Hannah says she wrote the book for several reasons: To document what happened to her To explain her experience to family members in England who had been thousands of miles away during the worst of her illness To process the trauma of what she had been through To organize the research and strategies she had collected To help other Lyme patients who might find value in her experience The book includes Hannah's story, the approaches she personally tried, her research, and practical resources including meal plans, shopping lists, checklists, and educational information intended to help patients and families better understand Lyme disease. Learn more about Hannah, her book, and her resources on her website: Hannah Green: My Lyme Success Story Meeting Hannah at the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala This Tick Boot Camp interview began with an in-person connection. Hannah traveled from England to attend the Lyme Warrior 10th Anniversary Gala on May 9, 2026, at Saybrook Point Resort & Marina in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Tick Boot Camp partnered with Lyme Warrior to help photograph, document, and amplify the event. The gala brought together Lyme patients, advocates, researchers, clinicians, authors, families, and supporters for a night focused on research, advocacy, humor, music, community, and hope. Hannah attended alongside other members of the Lyme community who traveled from England, including Kirstie Haysman, Ms Great Britain 2026. The night included appearances from leading Lyme voices including Dr. Eva Sapi, Dr. Monica Embers, Dr. Richard Horowitz, Dr. Myriah Hinchey, Nicole Bell, Jesse Ruben, and many other advocates and community leaders. Read Tick Boot Camp's full coverage of the event. A Lyme Story Across Three Continents Hannah's Lyme journey crosses three continents. She grew up in England. She believes her Lyme exposure may have occurred while working with horses in West Virginia in the United States. Her earliest symptoms emerged after returning to England. Her illness eventually became severely disabling. And in Australia, Hannah finally received the Lyme diagnosis that gave her a framework for understanding what had happened. Australia also became the place where she developed the personal recovery strategy she later documented in My Lyme Success Story. Hannah eventually returned to England in 2019 to spend more time with family. Her international experience underscores an important reality: Lyme disease does not respect borders, and gaps in tick awareness, diagnosis, and treatment can follow patients across healthcare systems. What You'll Learn in This Episode In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Hannah Green discusses: Growing up in England surrounded by horses and the outdoors Why she knew almost nothing about ticks despite extensive equestrian experience Traveling alone to America as a shy 19-year-old Working as a horse-riding counselor at a West Virginia summer camp Removing engorged ticks from horses without understanding the possible human health risk The Lyme disease pamphlet she remembers seeing at camp The red ring on her leg that she was told was probably a spider bite Why she now believes her Lyme exposure may have occurred in West Virginia Developing unusual knee problems after returning to England Years of migrating joint and back symptoms Running the London Marathon despite worsening knee problems The viral illness after which her health dramatically deteriorated Digestive issues, insomnia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, rage, and memory problems Trying to continue working while becoming progressively sicker Repeated medical visits that failed to explain her illness Moving to Australia and eventually becoming largely bedbound How another horse rider helped connect her with the doctor who diagnosed Lyme disease Borrelia and the co-infections discussed during her journey Her experience with PCR testing, bioresonance, and autonomic response testing Why she declined the multi-antibiotic protocol initially proposed to her The three months she spent researching treatment approaches around the world Her staged approach to lifestyle, diet, gut health, and other interventions The low-inflammatory Paleo-style diet she says produced an early improvement Her use of herbs, binders, naturopathic care, and bioresonance Her homemade "Lyme-busting drink" Creating an environment dedicated to healing Learning to trust her intuition Meditation, spirituality, and asking for help Trauma work, NLP, and Faster EFT The fear of leaving home even after her physical health improved Why she believes mindset is critical to recovery Why she wrote My Lyme Success Story Her advice for people newly diagnosed with Lyme disease Why she believes patients should not give up on the possibility of healing Hannah's Advice for Someone Newly Diagnosed With Lyme Disease Near the end of the conversation, Hannah shares several lessons she wishes more people understood early in their Lyme journey. First, she encourages people not to panic. She believes a recovery mindset matters and that people benefit from knowing that others have gotten better. Second, she recommends finding a practitioner you genuinely trust and who looks at the person as a whole rather than focusing on only one symptom. Third, she emphasizes consistency and persistence rather than continually jumping from one protocol to another. And finally, Hannah advocates for a gentler approach when appropriate, saying that the body may need time and a sense of safety in order to recover. Her advice reflects her own experience rather than a universal medical prescription, but the underlying message is powerful: stay engaged, keep learning, work with qualified support, and do not surrender hope. Why Hannah Green's Lyme Success Story Matters Hannah's story is not presented as a universal Lyme disease treatment protocol. It is one person's experience of becoming severely ill, searching for answers across multiple countries, experimenting with approaches that felt appropriate for her circumstances, and eventually reaching a level of health that inspired her to describe her journey as a Lyme success story. Her experience reinforces several important messages for the Lyme community: Tick education matters before a bite ever happens. Not everyone remembers finding an attached tick. An expanding red rash deserves careful medical evaluation. Lyme symptoms can evolve and involve multiple body systems. Migrating joint symptoms can be an important part of a patient's history. People with unexplained chronic symptoms deserve to be heard. Recovery journeys can be highly individualized. Emotional and psychological support can coexist with treatment of physical illness. Community can help replace the isolation that so often accompanies chronic illness. Hope matters. Healing is possible. Final Takeaway Hannah Green's Lyme disease journey began long before she knew she was on one. A young woman from England traveled to America to teach horseback riding, encountered ticks for the first time, developed a mysterious red ring that was dismissed as a spider bite, and returned home feeling healthy. Then the clues slowly appeared. First her knees. Then other joints. Then her back. Eventually, after another illness years later, her health deteriorated dramatically. What followed was a long search for an explanation that eventually took Hannah across the world and into an intense process of research, experimentation, self-advocacy, emotional healing, and recovery. Today, she has transformed that experience into My Lyme Success Story in the hope that what she learned can help others ask better questions and feel less alone. Her exact path will not be everyone's path, and the approaches Hannah believes helped her should not be interpreted as medical advice or a universal treatment plan. But the larger message of her story belongs to the entire Lyme community: keep asking questions, keep learning, find people who take your experience seriously, and do not give up on the possibility of healing.

Send us Fan Mail100% of tested samples is not a rounding error. Drs. Mark Pettus and John Bagnulo walk through new research on mycotoxins in commercially available plant-based meat, cheese, fish, and beverage alternatives and explain why mold toxins deserve a place in any serious conversation about modern nutrition. We dig into what the lab methods measured, why wheat-gluten based seitan products can be especially vulnerable, and how gaps in food safety oversight can leave “plant-based” products outside the regulatory spotlight many of us assume exists. From there, we connect the dots to what listeners actually care about: symptoms, labs, and long-term risk. We talk about common mycotoxins like aflatoxin and ochratoxin A, the reality of daily exposure when staples like wheat, corn, soy, and oat products show up at every meal, and why quantity matters as much as concentration. We also explore how these toxins can be lipophilic, how they may interact with obesity and fatty liver biology, and what research suggests about lipid changes like higher triglycerides and lower HDL. We then zoom out to the systems most likely to take the hit: immune function, endocrine signalling, and the gut microbiome. We cover increased gut permeability, endotoxemia, inflammation, and the unsettling synergy where mycotoxins may worsen outcomes in the presence of latent viruses like Epstein-Barr or herpes family viruses. Finally, we end with grounded, doable steps: reduce reliance on ultra-processed meat analogs and dairy substitutes, do your own homework, and support elimination pathways including bile flow and bile binding strategies such as beets and specific fibers. Subscribe for more evidence-based self-care, share this with someone who relies on plant-based substitutes, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.For slide deck and open source resources: www.thehealthedgepodcast.com

Alzheimer's Is Up 134% Since 2000 — Dani Williamson on the Lifestyle Triggers and How to Prevent It

Alzheimer's disease has increased 134% since the year 2000. Over 7 million Americans are currently living with full-blown Alzheimer's disease. Not mild cognitive impairment, not brain fog, but diagnosed Alzheimer's. One in five women and one in ten men will receive that diagnosis in their lifetime. And according to ALZ.org, the risk has gone up 134% in just 24 years. For many people, this is not a genetic crisis: it's a lifestyle crisis, and that means it is largely preventable. In this episode, Dr. Chris Motley sits down with integrative nurse practitioner, author and Alzheimer's prevention advocate Dani Williamson — whose mother died of Alzheimer's at 78 with zero genetic markers for the disease — to have the honest, urgent conversation about what is actually driving the dementia epidemic, and what every person can do right now to protect their brain. In this episode you'll discover: Why Alzheimer's has increased 134% since 2000 while heart disease has decreased — and what that statistical reversal tells us about the true nature of this disease Why one in five women will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's — more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined — and why it remains dramatically underfunded and under-discussed The shocking genetic test result that changed how Dani understands her mother's disease — and why most Alzheimer's cases are lifestyle-driven, not genetically determined How childhood trauma, smoking, alcohol, poor sleep, chronic stress, and mold exposure combined to create the perfect conditions for Alzheimer's in Dani's mother's brain The mold-Alzheimer's connection: how mycotoxins change the morphology of nerve cells, create biofilm in the brain, and produce the "snot in your brain" effect driving cognitive decline How hidden viruses — including HSV-1 (cold sores), Epstein-Barr virus, and HHV-6 (Roseola) — increase Alzheimer's risk by damaging nerve cells and disrupting brain signalling Why one in six people carry the herpes simplex virus without knowing it — and how managing it proactively could reduce dementia risk The thyroid-brain connection: how Hashimoto's thyroiditis and thyroid dysfunction directly drive brain fog, memory loss and early cognitive decline Why perimenopause and menopause are being misdiagnosed as early dementia — and how optimising estrogen, progesterone and testosterone can bring memory and clarity back The endometriosis-brain connection: how inflammation in the reproductive system blocks the conception vessel meridian's energy from reaching the brain and thyroid Why the tampons and pads most women have used for decades contain glyphosate and bleach — and how switching to organic products reduced period symptoms dramatically within the first two cycles How mold on corn, wheat and processed grains silently accumulates in the body — and why Dr. Motley's FDA contact confirmed that batches of corn are routinely rejected for dangerous mold levels Resolvins — the omega-3 derivative that goes beyond fish oil — and why Dani calls it one of the non-negotiables she will take until her final day Why low-dose naltrexone (LDN) may have an unexplored role in Alzheimer's prevention and inflammation control The TCM fire element connection: how the ovaries, adrenal glands and thyroid form an energetic circuit along the conception vessel — and why inflammation in the reproductive organs can starve the brain of qi Dani's six foundational steps for Alzheimer's prevention: eat well, sleep well, move well, poop well, de-stress well, commune well Why ballroom dancing is the number one exercise for memory — and why boxing is rapidly gaining ground for both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's prevention The Bristol Stool Chart explained: why daily bowel movements matter for brain health, what your stool shape reveals about toxin clearance, and why Dani says "poop like your poodle" The early warning signs of cognitive decline to watch for in aging parents — including increasing clutter, hoarding, and giving away money impulsively Why sleep is when the brain's glymphatic system flushes toxins — and how even one poor night of sleep impairs that critical detox process The role of lymphatic drainage, infrared sauna, and EAV testing in supporting brain health and reducing the toxic burden that accelerates cognitive decline Whether you have a family history of Alzheimer's, are noticing early signs in yourself or a loved one, or simply want to protect your brain for decades to come — this episode is key.

Some people are injecting a fraction of the standard dose of weight loss drugs and hoping to still receive the benefits, but many are doing so without any medical oversight and there could be risks. Makers of the drugs say they don't condone people modifying how they use their products. Health journalist Katie Silver speaks to Claudia Hammond about why some people are choosing to microdose these weight loss drugs. With wildfires spreading across Western Europe, North Africa and Canada, Claudia is joined by BBC Health Reporter Laura Foster to discuss recent studies into the impacts wildfires can have on our health. Claudia and Laura also talk about new research into fertility and pregnancy loss as well as asking, are we consuming too much protein? And it is increasingly clear that multiple sclerosis (MS) is linked to Epstein-Barr virus infections, but can we use that knowledge to stop the progression of MS? Claudia speaks with Michael Levy, associate professor at Harvard Medical School and neuroimmunologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital, to understand if viral treatments could halt this disease and why this common virus can cause such severe immune responses in a few individuals.

Hey, Heal Squad! Today we're throwing it back to one of our most eye-opening conversations with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. If you've been following our recent episodes on mold toxicity, this is the perfect next listen because mold and Lyme disease often go hand in hand, sharing many of the same frustrating symptoms. Dr. Motley explains the surprising ways Lyme can enter the body, why so many people never fully recover, and the hidden role blocked drainage pathways play in keeping you sick. From EMFs, heavy metals, and mold toxicity to trapped emotions, he reveals how these invisible stressors overwhelm your body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and prevent true healing. We also dive into how trauma can become stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with fatigue and hormone imbalances, and why restoring your body's Qi (your electromagnetic life force) may be one of the missing pieces to lasting wellness. If you've been doing everything "right" but still don't feel like yourself, this throwback episode will help you connect the dots and finally understand what could be keeping your body stuck.

You really are fantastic! I'm 51, and my mother is 82. She is suffering from very painful osteoarthritis and doing most of the recommended things without relief. I'm constantly doing research to try to help her and also stave this off for myself in the future. There seem to be studies showing that 120 mg of hyaluronic acid is helpful for osteoarthritis, I am taking your proteolytic enzymes and Inflammasoothe, but I'm considering replacing my standard collagen supplement and the HA supplement with your advanced collagen support. I know you can't give medical advice, but can you explain why advanced collagen support may work just as well or better than a standard, cheaper, hydrolyzed collagen plus an HA supplement with a higher dose of HA? Thank you!       Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral. Wanted to know if you had an opinion on the RingConn sleep device. I know you use the Oura ring for sleep tracking and speak highly of it but I don't think I've ever heard you mention this device. I like the fact that there's no subscription required but wonder how it fares in terms of accuracy. Is it on par with the Oura do you think? Just curious. Best,     Bryan: Hi Dr. Cabral, Have you ever heard of or tried magnetic sleep pads? I came across one company recently which has been around for a number of years. Just wondering if there was any real science behind the whole idea of magnetism and sleep. As someone who suffers from insomnia (kind of of) I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my quality of sleep and wanted to get your thoughts. Ever tried one before? Best,       Emily: Hi dr Cabral, I am hoping to get your expertise on Epstein Barr virus and supporting our children for prevention of EBV. I personally had mono as a teenager and in my 30s now I had an EBV flare up again, I am working with a functional provider to clear this. How can I support my children to not get EBV or if they get how do we support to tackle clearing it right away? Thank you       Jen: Thanks for your continuous education and resources you provide on this podcast. I listened to a podcast where you briefly mentioned that a patient of yours was using the Ozone machine from Therasage to get rid of stubborn toenail fungus. My husband has had this problem for over 40 years and all his toe nails have the fungus. I was wondering if your patient was able to get rid of the fungus with just the Therasage ozone machine or do you recommend any additional remedies?

If you've spent any time at all living with or caring for someone with multiple sclerosis, you know that medical textbooks and information-filled websites can give us facts, figures, and symptoms, but they rarely capture the sometimes messy, sometimes overwhelming, and sometimes darkly funny reality of what it actually feels like to get a diagnosis of MS and realize your life has suddenly shifted under your feet. Our guest, Liat Shalom, was diagnosed with MS in 2021, at the age of 30. Instead of letting that diagnosis define her, Liat picked up her pen and created Unravelled—a groundbreaking graphic memoir that refuses to sugar-coat the MS experience.   For about five years, we've known that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) triggers MS. We'll explain what biologists just discovered about how EBV triggers MS, and what that could mean for future treatments. We're sharing evidence from an important study that shows a simple blood test is as accurate as MRI in determining whether someone is experiencing a relapse or a pseudo-relapse. We're sharing details of a study showing that virtual reality (VR) therapy is effective in treating MS-related brain fog. And if you're a woman between the ages of 45 and 60 and you're experiencing perimenopause, we'll share an easy way for you to participate in MS research without leaving home.

Dr. Stephens explains why post-infectious illnesses are real and have been recognized for more than a century, tracing the pattern from the 1917 influenza pandemic and encephalitis lethargica to modern conditions including Long COVID, reactivated Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Lyme disease, Babesia and other tick-borne infections, and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). She shares the detective work behind her Diagnostic Dilemma Clinic, how a comprehensive history and targeted evaluation uncover hidden diagnoses, and why so many patients with complex chronic illness also have hypermobility. The conversation explores emerging research showing that people with hypermobility are approximately four times more likely to develop Long COVID, with an even greater risk in those with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Dr. Stephens and Dr. Bluestein discuss the underlying biology, including immune dysregulation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, vagus nerve dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the ways connective tissue disorders may influence recovery after infection. They also review evidence-informed treatment strategies, including supporting mitochondrial health with coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), glutathione, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC); the role of low-dose naltrexone (LDN); optimizing iron and vitamin C status; when antiviral medications may be appropriate; intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG); and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Finally, they explain why gradually increasing muscle mass and strength may have a greater long-term impact than any single supplement and share practical strategies for supporting recovery and strengthening your regimen at the first sign of illness. Whether you're living with EDS, HSD, Long COVID, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, Lyme disease, or another post-infectious condition, this episode offers practical, science-based insights into why these conditions overlap and what you can do to support healing. Takeaways: • Can a virus, Lyme disease, or another infection permanently change your health? Learn why post-infectious syndromes have been documented for more than a century and how infections can trigger chronic illness through immune dysregulation and autoimmunity. • Why are people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) so much more likely to develop Long COVID? Discover the research linking hypermobility, POTS, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and prolonged recovery after infection. • What do Long COVID, Lyme disease, ME/CFS, POTS, and other post-infectious conditions have in common? Explore the shared biology of immune dysfunction, autonomic and vagus nerve dysfunction, and mitochondrial dysfunction that may explain multisystem symptoms. • Which treatments actually help? Hear the evidence behind coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), glutathione, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), low-dose naltrexone (LDN), iron and vitamin C, antiviral medications, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. • Could building muscle be one of the most powerful treatments for chronic illness?

What is actually driving the rise in autoimmune disease?    In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Marc Kesselman, Chair of Internal Medicine and Chief of Rheumatology at Nova Southeastern University, to dig into the hidden drivers of autoimmune disease and what patients can actually do about them.   Dr. Kesselman breaks down how COVID-19, vaccine adjuvants, environmental toxins, gut microbiome imbalance, and Epstein-Barr virus all contribute to the rising wave of autoimmune conditions. He explains why non-celiac gluten sensitivity is real even when tests come back negative, how food rotation and plant diversity help protect the microbiome, and why autoantibodies can appear in the bloodstream 15 to 20 years before a single symptom shows up.   He also covers a piece of the autoimmune conversation that most patients never hear: why chronic inflammation significantly raises cardiovascular risk even when cholesterol looks normal, and which tests can catch it before it becomes a crisis.   If you have been told your labs are fine but something still feels wrong, this episode is for you. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters.   If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

It turns a weak response up and pulls an overactive one back toward the middle.One thing up front. You will not feel this peptide when you inject it. That is normal. It works slowly over weeks.I cover who this peptide is really for. Older adults with fading immunity. People stuck in post-viral limbo after COVID or Epstein-Barr. Anyone who travels hard and gets run down.I also cover who should skip it, including severe autoimmune flares.We get into dosing tiers, timing, and why more than two milligrams does nothing. I walk through cycling, stacking with LL-37 and KPV, reconstitution, and how to tell it's actually working.I stay honest about the evidence. TA-1 is the most documented immune peptide we have. It also has real limits, and I flag where the human data runs out.This is the one I never travel without. Not because it feels like anything. Because I would rather have it and not need it.

Dr. John Kim was 33 years old, a practicing functional pharmacist who thought he was living a healthy life, when he walked into the ER with chest pain and was told he was probably fine. He wasn't. An 85% blockage in his LAD, a stent, three days in cardiac ICU, and a month later — a positive test for Bartonella, sky-high aspergillus antibodies, mycoplasma pneumonia, Epstein-Barr, parasites, and severe mercury toxicity traced back to childhood. Two years to clear the Bartonella. Six months for the mold. And a complete reinvention of how he practices medicine. In this conversation with Freddie, Dr. Kim breaks down what functional medicine is getting dangerously wrong right now — the supplement stacking, the endless detox protocols, the practitioners who skip the nervous system entirely — and lays out what actually has to happen first. Heart coherence before supplements. Nervous system regulation before binders. EMDR before mold remediation. And a lipid panel that actually includes lipoprotein A and APO B instead of just chasing LDL numbers. The second half of this episode goes deep on biotoxins and cellular damage in a way you won't hear in most wellness spaces. Dr. Kim explains the cell danger response — why the mitochondria shifts from making energy to playing defense, and why so many people with MCAS, long COVID, Lyme, and autoimmune conditions are completely stuck in that state — and what it actually takes to get out. He breaks down how toxins like heavy metals, mold, and BPA bind directly to DNA in what's called a DNA adduct, why plasma therapies and standard detox protocols don't reach that level of damage, and what does — butyric acid, TUDCA, and a sequenced approach that rebuilds the cell membrane before asking the body to clear anything. He also covers the IGL epigenetic blood test from Germany, protein misfolding, and why the goal of any good practitioner should eventually be to never see their patient again.

Marketer of the Day with Robert Plank: Get Daily Insights from the Top Internet Marketers & Entrepreneurs Around the World

Too many people follow generic health advice, “eat cleaner,” “work out more,” “take these vitamins,” and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or unwell without real answers. When that happens, it's usually because the root cause is deeply personal, written into how your body is uniquely wired. Today's guest, Patty Daigle, an Air Force veteran turned nutritional genomics and epigenetics expert, found this out firsthand when a serious health crisis left traditional medicine stumped and forced her to dig into her own DNA for solutions. Patty walks us through how nutritional genomics testing (a simple cheek swab) can identify key gene SNPs that affect methylation, detox pathways, mitochondrial energy, and how your body responds to food, supplements, and medications. She opens up about her own health crisis, rapid, unexplained weight loss, doctors with no answers, and the eventual discovery of gene mutations, heavy metals, parasites, Epstein-Barr, and vaccine-related damage that contributed to her type 1 diabetes. That journey inspired her to write “The DNA Advantage”, which introduces the foundational concepts of DNA-driven health, and her upcoming, more advanced book, “The Geneius Reset” (GENE-IUS Reset). In this conversation, Patty explains how your DNA, gut health, and lymphatic system work together, and what happens when they don't. You'll learn why daily, even gentle movement is essential to keep toxins from getting “stuck” in your lymph system, why gut-brain and gut-heart connections matter, and how parasites can quietly drive issues like chronic fatigue, brain fog, blood sugar imbalances, and even cancer. She also dives into the connection between methylation, vitamins B and D, and fertility, sharing how unrecognized gene mutations likely contributed to her own pregnancy losses and how this knowledge can help other families break harmful patterns. https://youtu.be/4taOmvout6w?si=R-4u4ScJhefuik3L If you've been “doing everything right” but still not feeling like yourself, this episode will give you a new lens on health: one that's data-driven, DNA-informed, and deeply individualized. Patty's insights will help you become your own health advocate, break harmful generational patterns, and create a more resilient foundation for yourself and your family.  Quotes: "You need to know how your DNA blueprint is laid out, because once you do, you'll know how your body absorbs nutrition and medication, and what it simply can't use." "Because I stopped all those foods I was sensitive to, I have not had a single arthritis pain since, because there's no inflammation.” "Your genes can be passed down for generations, so if you find out you've got a couple of mutations, you might be able to stop something dead in its tracks for your children."

 Women have been told how we have to show up at work, in our relationships, in our families, in society at large, forever. And it turns out it's costing us way more than we thought. It's making us sick. My guest today, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is a 15-time award-winning documentary filmmaker and somebody who was hit with melanoma, breast tumors, Hashimoto's, and Epstein-Barr all at once. Instead of just treating it, she investigated it. She funded her own research of 1,000 women, the first-ever study on the relationship between empowerment and autoimmune conditions, and what she found was absolutely groundbreaking. Her study was endorsed by a former US surgeon general, and it's an absolute paradigm shift in how we think about autoimmune conditions. Sarah has since completely healed, and we're going to talk about exactly what she did in this episode.

Discover 5 key autoimmune triggers hiding in your past. From COVID and herpes simplex to staph, Epstein-Barr, and strep infections, Nurse Doza breaks down how past infections can reprogram your immune system to attack your own tissue — and what gut health has to do with it all. Gut (L-Glutamine) by MSW Nutrition Gut, featuring 4 grams of pure L-Glutamine per scoop, is the primary fuel source for the cells that line your intestinal wall. When past infections, antibiotics, or chronic stress compromise your gut barrier, your immune system loses its most important line of defense — creating the conditions where autoimmune triggers thrive. Gut helps repair the gut lining, reduce digestive inflammation, and support the immune cells that depend on a healthy gut to function properly. Whether you're managing an existing autoimmune disorder or working to prevent one, healing your gut is where it starts.

A client came to me recently and said something I hear more often than you might expect: "Gene, I've been trying to tap on my own, but this problem just feels too big. I don't know where to start." My answer surprised her. I told her she was right. The problem actually was too big to tap on. But that wasn't a verdict on whether tapping could help. It was a diagnosis of the approach she was using. Tapping for big problems is not about finding the courage to tackle everything at once. It is about knowing which small, specific piece to bring into a single round of tapping. TL;DR / Key Takeaways When a problem feels too big to tap on, the issue is not tapping's effectiveness. The issue is trying to address too much in a single session. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) works best on one specific, concrete target at a time. Large life challenges require a series of focused rounds, not one heroic attempt. Tapping on the emotions about the problem (frustration, worry, disappointment) before targeting the problem itself clears the emotional distortion that makes the issue feel overwhelming. Identifying the smallest possible next action and tapping on resistance to that one step creates forward momentum faster than any other approach. Giving yourself permission to value incremental progress is itself a legitimate tapping target, and often the one that unlocks everything else. Why Big Problems Feel Impossible to Tap On (And the Real Fix) Tapping for big problems feels impossible when you try to hold the entire problem in your mind at once. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and body while focusing on a precise emotional or physical target. The key word is precise. The more diffuse your focus, the less effective the round. Key insight: "The question is never whether tapping is appropriate for what's in front of you. The question is: how do you bring tapping to a part of the issue in a useful way?" Think about the kinds of problems that feel too big: a serious health diagnosis, a major career transition, building a romantic relationship from a standing start. Each of these is not one problem. Each is a cluster of dozens of smaller problems stacked on top of each other. Trying to tap on "my health situation" is like trying to eat an entire meal in one swallow. The five steps below give you a reliable way to find the right-sized bite for any given session, no matter how large the underlying issue is. Why Tapping for Big Problems Starts With Your Emotions First Before you tap on any aspect of the problem itself, tap on how you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem. This is one of the most overlooked moves in EFT practice, and it changes everything about what comes next. In my Tapping Mastery Blueprint, every single tapping session starts with two questions. First: what is the goal of this round of tapping? Second: how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue at hand? That second question is where most people skip straight past something important. Key insight: "The emotions about the issue are layers of stained glass I'm trying to look through. They distort the issue so I can't see it clearly. Clear those layers first, and the problem comes into focus." When you are dealing with something large, you are almost certainly carrying feelings of worry, frustration, disappointment, and grief about the situation itself. Those emotions are not the same as the problem. They are your emotional response to having the problem. Tapping on them first changes your resource state. It shifts you out of reactivity and into a clearer, calmer place from which you can make better decisions about what to tap on next. Write down every emotion you feel about the fact that you are facing this particular challenge. Then take those emotions one at a time and tap on them before doing anything else. For a deeper look at this concept, the episode on "the emotion about the issue" from the Healing Fundamentals series is worth your time. Step 2: Name a Baby Step and Tap on Your Resistance to It Once you have tapped on the emotions about the issue, shift your attention away from the full problem entirely. Instead, ask yourself: what is the single smallest next action I could take? That step might be genuinely tiny. Write down all the open questions I have. Research this one thing. Send a message to this specific person. It does not need to be significant. It just needs to be real and concrete. Key insight: "I don't know how to handle the big thing, but I almost always know the first step. After I take the first step, the second step becomes obvious. And after the second, the third." Once you have named the baby step, tune in to whatever emotion comes up around taking it. Resistance, dread, uncertainty, fear of getting it wrong. That emotional resistance is your tapping target, not the step itself. When you clear the resistance, taking the step becomes easy. And taking the step creates momentum, which is exactly what large problems require. This approach addresses one of the most common reasons people stay stuck: they cannot see the whole path forward, so they do not move at all. But you do not need to see the whole path. You only need to see the next step. Clearing the emotional resistance to action is one of tapping's most reliable strengths. Step 3: Pick One Small Detail Instead of the Whole Problem If the baby-step approach does not give you a clear entry point, try zooming in on a single detail of the larger issue instead. Not the situation. Not the whole health challenge or the whole relationship pattern. One detail. A few years ago I was dealing with Epstein-Barr virus, which is similar to mononucleosis in its effects. I was completely wiped out. I would feel a flicker of energy and sit up in bed, and my body would immediately shut it down. I had to lie back down. There were dozens of things wrong, physically and emotionally, and I could have tried to tap on all of them at once. Instead, I chose one detail: that specific feeling when the energy appeared and immediately vanished. Just that. The emotion that came up around that one physical experience became my tapping target. Key insight: "By choosing one microscopic detail, I gave myself an entry point. I wasn't trying to solve everything. I was just working on this one thing." Trying to address the entire problem at once produces a familiar spiral: "I'm falling behind, this is lasting forever, nothing I'm doing is working." That is too big a target. One detail breaks the spiral and gives your nervous system something it can actually process. If you find yourself drowning in too many issues to tap on, this single-detail approach is often the fastest way back to solid ground. Step 4: Tap on the Overwhelm of Having a Problem This Big This step might feel redundant at first glance. You have already tapped on the emotions about the issue in Step 1. What is left? The answer is: the overwhelm of the problem's size, which is a separate layer entirely. Tapping for overwhelm means giving voice specifically to the experience of facing something that feels unmanageable. Not what the problem is, but what it is like to be the person carrying it. Typical targets for this step sound like: "This problem is unfair and I am exhausted by it." "I do not even know where to start and that makes me feel paralyzed." "I cannot do this alone." "I am overwhelmed just thinking about all the steps between here and done." This is what I sometimes call tapping on the meta-emotion. It is the feeling about the feeling, or more precisely, the feeling about the situation's complexity. In my experience, the missing key to tapping for overwhelm is almost always this layer: people address the content of what overwhelms them but skip past the raw experience of being overwhelmed itself. Spend a few minutes here. It does not take long, and the relief it produces makes the remaining steps significantly easier. Step 5: Give Yourself Permission to Value Small Daily Progress The final step is one that beginners often dismiss as too soft. It is not. Giving yourself permission to recognize the value of incremental work is a legitimate tapping target, and for many people it is the one that unlocks consistent action. The tapping here is not affirmation work. You are not trying to convince yourself that everything is fine or that you are doing great. You are tapping to release the part of you that insists the only acceptable outcome is solving the whole thing today. A useful setup statement for this step sounds something like: "Even though I've only made a tiny bit of progress today, I give myself permission to recognize that a baby step forward is still a step forward." Notice what comes up when you tap with that frame. You may find frustration: "I give myself permission to value baby steps, AND I give myself permission to be annoyed that it's always a process." Both are valid. Acknowledge the resistance alongside the permission. That is where the real tapping work happens. The myth of the one big tapping breakthrough is worth reading alongside this step. Real transformation is nearly always a series of small shifts, not a single dramatic moment. How to Use All Five Steps in a Single Tapping Session When you are facing a problem that feels too big to tap on, run through the five steps in order. You do not need to spend equal time on each one. Some will feel complete in a single round. Others may need more attention. Here is the sequence as a quick reference: Tap on the emotions about the issue. How do you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem? Worry, frustration, grief, shame, disappointment. Take them one at a time. Name a baby step and tap on your resistance to it. What is the smallest possible next action? What emotion comes up when you think about taking it? Pick one small detail and tap on the emotion around it. Not the whole problem. One aspect, one symptom, one interaction, one specific moment. Tap on the overwhelm of the problem's size. Give voice to how it feels to be carrying something this big. This is separate from the problem's content. Tap for permission to value incremental progress. Release the demand that today's work has to solve everything. A baby step counts. Before you start any session on a large issue, it helps to ask the two questions from my Tapping Mastery Blueprint: what is the goal of this round of tapping, and how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue? Both questions from the one question you must ask before every tapping session apply directly here. The old cliche is true: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. And if you take one bite at a time with your tapping practice, you will be surprised how quickly you start to build real momentum on even the largest challenges in your life. If you want structured, daily support for building that momentum, I'd encourage you to explore 365 Tapping Lessons, where I walk you through a full year of focused tapping sessions designed to create exactly this kind of consistent, cumulative progress. Frequently Asked Questions What does it mean when a problem feels too big to tap on? It usually means you are trying to address the entire issue in a single tapping session. EFT works best on one specific, concrete emotional target at a time. A problem that "feels too big" is a signal to narrow your focus, not to stop tapping. Where should I start when I don't know where to start tapping? Start with the emotions you feel about having the problem, not the problem itself. Write down every emotion that comes up when you think about your situation (frustration, worry, grief, shame) and tap on those one at a time before targeting the problem's content. How many rounds of tapping does it take to work through a big problem? There is no fixed number. Large issues typically require many focused sessions over time rather than one long session. The goal of each session is not to solve the problem but to reduce the emotional intensity around one specific aspect of it. Can EFT really help with serious health challenges or major life changes? Yes, though the approach matters enormously. EFT does not resolve health conditions by tapping on "my illness." It works by targeting specific emotions, fears, symptoms, or resistance points one at a time. Over multiple sessions, this produces genuine cumulative relief. What is "the emotion about the issue" in EFT? It is the emotional response you have to having the problem, as distinct from the problem itself. If you have a health issue, the emotions about the issue include fear of the long-term consequences, grief over what you have lost, and frustration at the pace of healing. Tapping on these first clears the distortion that makes the underlying problem harder to see and address. What if I tap on the baby step but feel nothing? Try making the step even smaller, or tune in to the emotion more precisely. "I need to make a doctor's appointment" might produce nothing. "I feel a knot in my stomach when I think about calling the doctor" is a specific, tappable sensation. The more concrete the target, the more tapping tends to produce a clear shift. Is it normal to feel more overwhelmed after starting to tap on a big problem? Yes, and it is often a sign the tapping is working. Bringing a suppressed emotion to the surface before clearing it can briefly intensify the feeling. If it persists, use Step 4 directly: tap specifically on the overwhelm of having a problem this big, rather than on the problem's content.

The Hidden Causes of Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Chronic Illness: Mold, Parasites, Histamine, and Low Cortisol If you're exhausted, inflamed, and can't figure out why, the answer might be hiding in your histamine, your hormones, your home, or something living inside you that your doctor will never test for. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross, a former hospitalist turned functional medicine powerhouse who walked away from a conventional medical career after discovering that 90% of disease traces back to lifestyle, environment, and the toxins most doctors ignore. After graduating magna cum laude and earning her medical degree from the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess pursued training in functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and alternative therapies, and now helps thousands of patients reverse chronic illness through her KillBindSweat method and WellnessPlus app. She is also the formulator and CMO of Aegis Formulas and a leading voice at international health conferences. If chronic illness, mold toxicity, or hormonal chaos is on your radar, she is the person you want in your corner. Together, Dave and Dr. Jess go deep into the hidden drivers of mystery symptoms that functional medicine is finally starting to crack open. They cover why low cortisol is more dangerous than high cortisol, how histamine and mast cell activation syndrome explain everything from anxiety and brain fog to endometriosis and POTS, and why most "Lyme disease" is actually undiagnosed mold toxicity. They also break down the parasite epidemic hiding in plain sight across the United States, the B vitamin mistake making millions of people sicker, and why your metabolism, mitochondria, and mental health are all downstream of things your standard lab panel will never catch. This episode also gets into the real story behind Dr. Jess surrendering her California medical license rather than comply with a system she believed was working against patient health. Her firsthand account of the medical board process is something every person who cares about medical freedom needs to hear. You'll Learn: Why everyone who is chronically sick has a low cortisol awakening response and what to do about it How histamine drives anxiety, racing thoughts, palpitations, bloating, skin issues, and hormonal chaos Why 90% of people diagnosed with Lyme disease actually have toxic mold and how to test for both The parasite epidemic in the U.S. and why standard testing misses most of it How the spike protein reactivates dormant viruses and feeds the histamine loop behind long COVID Why synthetic B6 causes the very neuropathy it is supposed to fix, and what to take instead The cortisol, adrenaline, and blood pressure connection that explains "wired but tired" How progesterone stabilizes mast cells and why estrogen dominance fuels inflammation and reactivity Why Dave Asprey uses low-dose cortisol, dexamethasone, and modafinil as part of his daily performance stack The mold binders that actually work, and which popular ones can harm hypermobile people How nicotine at low doses blocks spike protein from ACE2 receptors and protects the brain What the MTHFR gene, methylation, and folic acid have to do with breast cancer, depression, and estrogen detox Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products. - Cowboy Colostrum | Get your gut right by going to cowboycolostrum.com/asprey for 25% off of your entire order. -Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it outDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Holaa :) en el podcast de hoy hablamos de como muchas veces cuando alguien tiene cansancio constante, fatiga, infecciones que van y vienen o esa sensación de “no estar bien”, tendemos a buscar respuestas rápidas y aisladas ( muy en linea con la cultura de la inmediatez que vivimos): que si falta de vitaminas, que si anemia, que si estrés o que simplemente necesitas descansar más. Pero la realidad es que, en muchos casos, no es un solo problema. Sino, que la clave esta en cómo están interactuando entre sí tu sistema inmune, tu descanso, tu masa muscular, la inflamación.. hasta virus que pueden permanecer latentes en tu organismo. En este episodio hablo con el Dr. Enrique Esteve, médico internista, sobre uno de los grandes olvidados: el virus de Epstein Barr. Qué ocurre tras la mononucleosis, por qué puede reactivarse y cómo puede estar relacionado con fatiga persistente o incluso con enfermedades autoinmunes. También profundizamos en algo que muchas veces se simplifica demasiado: el sueño. Qué pasa realmente mientras dormimos, por qué es clave para el sistema inmune y qué implicaciones tiene el uso crónico de fármacos para dormir.Y hay un punto especialmente importante que cada vez cobra más sentido: el músculo no es solo estética ni rendimiento, es salud metabólica e inmunológica. Hablamos de sarcopenia y de por qué perder masa muscular puede afectar mucho más de lo que pensamos. Además, abordamos temas como autoanticuerpos, tiroiditis, histamina, gluten y el síndrome antifosfolípido obstétrico, una causa tratable (y muchas veces infradiagnosticada) de abortos de repetición y problemas de fertilidad.Ojala en este episodio consigamos reforzar una idea clave para mi: el cuerpo no funciona por partes aisladas: sueño, sistema inmune, músculo, hormonas, intestino y fertilidad están profundamente conectados. Y cuando entiendes esa conexión, empiezas a tomar mejores decisiones por y para tu salud.Enrique Esteve: https://www.instagram.com/doctor.esteve/Para mas información ya sabéis que me tenéis en mi instagram @isabelvina dónde te comparto contenido diario Mi TikTok @isabelvinabasEn mi canal de YouTube Canal YoutubeY los suplementos formulados por mi en mi web  Mi web

In part one of this series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Paulus Rommer discuss the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and multiple sclerosis, as well as the questions that still remain unanswered. Show citation: Vietzen H, Kühner LM, Berger SM, et al. Epstein-Barr Virus Antibodies to Differentiate Multiple Sclerosis From Other Neuroinflammatory Diseases. JAMA Neurol. Published online March 9, 2026. doi:10.1001/jamaneurol.2026.0240  Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Hello and welcome. I just finished interviewing Paulus Rommer on his article published in JAMA Neurology, Epstein-Barr Virus Antibodies to Differentiate Multiple Sclerosis From Other Neuroinflammatory Diseases. Paulus, could we maybe talk about this relationship that we've understood about multiple sclerosis and Epstein-Barr virus? And maybe the points that still remain unanswered? Dr. Paulus Romme: There's a very long story behind this because in 1868, Pierre Marie, a student of Charcot was talking about that multiple sclerosis is a sequelae of an infection disorder. By this, we now know that there's a long story. There have been associations between infectious mononucleosis, EBV infection, multiple sclerosis. Also, the migration studies really fits very well in this. So there have been an association, but then, in 2022, there was the US Army study, Bjornevik and Ascherio, who really have shown that there is almost no multiple sclerosis without EBV infection. But still, we do not know why almost all of our patients have EBV infection, but only very small subset have multiple sclerosis. But this is very important to get a deeper understanding, but this is still unknown. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: This story of EPV and multiple sclerosis continues to evolve. And your work, as we talked about on the podcast, has really helped inform that discussion as well. And we still need to understand, outside of the initiation of the disease, how it drives the pathophysiology years after that initial infection. But it's really helpful to understand this in the larger set and now maybe using it as a biomarker to help us with our other neuroinflammatory diseases, so we'll discuss that the next episode. Again, I was just speaking with Paulas Rommer on his article in JAMA Neurology, Epstein-Barr Virus Antibodies to Differentiate Multiple Sclerosis From Other Neuroinflammatory Diseases. Paulus, thank you.

Breakthroughs in the last decade have transformed how we understand and treat multiple sclerosis (MS), but what will it take to stop the disease in its tracks? Pull up a stool with co-host Maria Wilson and our guest Sherman Jia, Group Medical Director, gRED Translational Medicine, for a discussion on the breakthrough research into B cells that has made a "night and day" difference for people living with the disease. In this episode, they tackle the next frontiers in MS research: from the surprising link between the Epstein-Barr virus and MS, to the ambitious goal of repairing the brain's myelin, and the potential of “immune reset” therapies, including work in cell therapies, that could offer lasting remission.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Ryan: First off, I would like to say thanks for all that you do in supporting a healthy community, it's greatly appreciated. My question has to do with what and how much physical activity should you do while you are sick, along with what additional health modalities would you suggest. When you are sick or feeling like you're getting sick, do you continue hitting your 10,000 steps per day? Weight lift? Cardio? HIIT? Continue working out but at a reduced intensity? Should you substitute some activity for red light? Sauna? Yoga? And how would this differ from a cold to a fever? Thanks again!      Ann: Hi Dr. Cabral and as always thank you for being such a champion for us out here :) A friend swears that Milk Thistle helped her when she was battling liver cancer. I have NAFLD and am working to reduce it, and besides the ways you have outlined to help (episode 3017), I'm wondering if milk thistle could be a good addition? Thank you so much - have a blessed day:)      Dawn Marie:  Hi, Dr. Cabral. I had mono as a child, and again in 2023 when I was 48 years of age. In 2023, I was on day 17 of the detox when the mono re-emerged and I was quite sick, almost requiring hospitalization--liver enzymes quite high, thickening of gallbladder walls, and enlarged spleen. My doctor actually wrote me a referral to a surgeon to likely have my gall bladder removed! Thank goodness, after years of listening to your podcasts, I knew to do some research and discovered that after I recovered from the mono, all would return to normal and they did. My understanding is that Epstein-Barr "lives" in the liver and is difficult to fully heal from. I'd like to "kick it out" for good. Is there a way to fully heal from EBV? Is there any risk of it re-emerging if I try to do another 21-day detox?      Dylaini: Hi Dr Cabral! Thanks for all you do, you're a wealth of knowledge! I am working with a lot of tinnitus clients and some claim it's from being in the military and being exposed to loud noises, do you think this is simply a "stress" on the body and isn't necessarily a permeant issue from being exposed to loud noises? Thanks again!     Josephine: Hi Dr Cabral, you've been an amazing ing help to me over the years, thank you. I'm a 44year old woman living in Australia. I have idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) on my legs and arms. I get this much more so than brown pigment spots. I understand sun protection is the best way to prevent this, however I'm wondering if you have any tips for how to treat it (most sources say pigment won't come back) and also what supplements or topical treatments (excluding sunscreen) might make the skin less susceptible.
