Overview This special episode of the [Tick Boot Camp Podcast](https://tickbootcamp.com/podcast/) was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and PCOM Symposium in collaboration with Pathobiome Perspectives. Hosted by Ali Moresco in partnership with Nikki Schultek, Executive Director of AlzPI, the conversation continues the Tick Boot Camp mission of exploring infection-associated chronic illness (IACI)—including Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections—within the global Alzheimer's and neuroimmunology research community. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen partnered with Ali and Nikki to highlight leading scientists connecting microbes, immune dysregulation, and neurodegenerative disease. This episode features Dr. Elizabeth “Betsy” Bradshaw, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, whose research investigates how past infections leave lasting imprints on the brain's immune system and influence the development of Alzheimer's disease. Guest Elizabeth M. Bradshaw, PhD Assistant Professor of Neurology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center Principal Investigator, Bradshaw Laboratory – Neuroimmunology and Genetics of Alzheimer's Dr. Bradshaw's laboratory focuses on the immune system's role in neurodegeneration, particularly how infection and inflammation alter brain immunity and predispose individuals to conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Her work builds on large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that identified immune-related genetic variants linked to Alzheimer's susceptibility, suggesting that subtle changes in immune function—not just neuronal factors—may underlie disease onset. Her team is exploring how pathogens such as HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1) interact with the brain's immune cells, known as microglia, and how these infections can “reprogram” immune responses long after the pathogen is cleared. Key Discussion Points Dr. Bradshaw explains how her research bridges genetics, immunology, and infectious disease to better understand Alzheimer's. Through GWAS data, her team found that many of the genes linked to Alzheimer's risk involve immune pathways rather than neuronal signaling. This discovery redirected the field's attention toward how immune cells respond to pathogens and environmental stressors across a lifetime. Using human-derived microglia-like cells created from blood monocytes, her team observes how infections reshape immune cell metabolism and memory. By infecting these microglia-like cells with Alzheimer's-associated pathogens like HSV-1, they study how genetic background and infection history determine immune cell behavior. The findings suggest that past infections may epigenetically and metabolically train microglia—changing how they respond to aging, stress, and amyloid buildup. Even when the infection has resolved, these “reprogrammed” immune cells can remain altered for decades, silently increasing the brain's vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Dr. Bradshaw emphasizes that understanding how infections rewire the brain's immune landscape could transform early intervention strategies. Identifying combinations of genetic risk factors and pathogen exposures may enable targeted prevention or immune-modulating treatments long before symptoms appear. “Microglia remember. Even after the pathogen is gone, they carry its imprint—responding differently decades later when the brain faces new challenges.” — Dr. Elizabeth Bradshaw Why It Matters Dr. Bradshaw's work reframes Alzheimer's disease as a neuroimmune condition shaped by infection and host genetics. Her research highlights how microbial exposures, immune history, and inflammation converge to influence cognitive decline. By integrating infection biology with genetics and immunology, her team is redefining how scientists and clinicians view the root causes of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. This work strengthens the growing case that the immune system's “memory” of infection may be one of the most important and overlooked factors in brain health and aging. About the Event This interview was recorded at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) Symposium, held October 3, 2025, at Ohio University in Dublin, Ohio. The event brought together more than 20 leading researchers exploring how microbes, the microbiome, and immune dysregulation contribute to Alzheimer's, dementia, and infection-associated chronic illness (IACI). Tick Boot Camp partnered with Ali Moresco and Nikki Schultek to share these conversations and connect chronic Lyme, infection, and neurodegenerative research communities.

Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut bacteria ferment dietary fiber, serves as both an energy source for colon cells and an important signaling molecule for immune regulation By inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) and suppressing the NF-κB pathway, butyrate acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, helping prevent chronic inflammation that contributes to various diseases Butyrate promotes regulatory T cell development while modulating other immune cells, helping maintain immune tolerance and preventing autoimmune responses while supporting balanced immune function Butyrate plays a significant role in managing chronic diseases like IBD, multiple sclerosis and Type 2 diabetes by reducing inflammation and supporting gut barrier function Emerging research suggests that butyrate influences brain health by modulating the gut-brain axis; it reduces neuroinflammation and supports cognitive function, and plays a supporting role in the prevention of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease and depression

Wellness Rising from the Wellness House of Annapolis welcomes Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Laura Falvey, who tells us that reconnecting with nature - especially the woods - greatly improves our immune system.

This is the time of year that reminds us to be grateful, kind and spend time with the people we love. To celebrate, I have decided to re-release a conversation that took place on this podcast almost 6 years ago now with the wonderful David Hamilton. David is a scientist, researcher and one of the world's leading experts in the science of kindness. He is also the author of multiple bestselling books including Why Kindness Is Good For You and How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body. This conversation was actually recorded all the way back in February 2020, one month before the start of COVID. But, as with most of the conversations on my podcast, the content within it is timeless and just as relevant today as it was when we actually recorded it. In our conversation, we explore many different themes including: How empathy and kindness can impact various markers of our health, including the functioning of our immune systems and our cardiovascular health Why David calls oxytocin the ‘kindness hormone' How exactly we can use visualisation to improve the quality of our lives, The science of the placebo effect The importance of connection and empathy in healthcare And the phenomenal ripple effect of kindness, whereby one act of kindness can lead to one hundred and twenty-five more. David is such a wonderful human being who is doing his very best to help create a kinder and more compassionate world. I think this conversation is perfect for the current time of year and I hope that it serves as a gentle reminder that being kind is not only good for the world around us, it's good for ourselves as well…….   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Overview This special episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and PCOM Symposium in collaboration with Pathobiome Perspectives. Hosted by Ali Moresco in partnership with Nikki Schultek, Executive Director of AlzPI, this series expands the Tick Boot Camp mission of exploring infection-associated chronic illness (IACI)—including Lyme and other tick-borne infections—to the global Alzheimer's and neuroimmunology research community. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen partnered with Ali and Nikki to showcase scientists exploring the microbial and immune mechanisms behind neurodegeneration. This episode features Dr. Janice Bush, a PhD candidate at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, whose research under world-renowned Bartonella expert Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt investigates how Bartonella bacteria alter gene expression in the brain's immune cells. Guest Janice Bush, DVM, PhD Candidate College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University (NCSU) Dr. Janice Bush began her career in veterinary medicine, where she observed a striking overlap between illnesses in pets and their human owners—particularly those linked to vector-borne infections like Bartonella. Now completing her PhD under Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, she focuses on Bartonella henselae, the bacterium behind Cat Scratch Disease, and its ability to infect human microglial cells—the brain's resident immune defenders. Her presentation, “Bartonella-Infected Human Microglial Cells: Transcriptional Changes Associated with Chronic Neurologic Disorders,” revealed how this stealth pathogen triggers widespread gene dysregulation linked to Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric symptoms, and neurodegenerative processes. Key Discussion Points Dr. Bush explains how Bartonella infection reprograms human microglia, the brain's innate immune cells, leading to hundreds of genes being upregulated or suppressed—affecting energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, cell signaling, and immune communication. These cellular changes mirror those observed in chronic neurological and psychiatric disorders, providing a potential mechanistic link between infection and long-term neurodegeneration. She describes Bartonella's sophisticated immune evasion strategy, including its ability to hijack cellular machinery and increase production of interleukin-10 (IL-10)—an anti-inflammatory cytokine that suppresses immune response, allowing the bacteria to persist undetected. This mechanism may explain why patients experience cyclic flares and remissions, and why Bartonella can linger silently for years. Dr. Bush's findings suggest that even short-term infections can produce measurable transcriptional changes in brain immune cells within 48 hours. If such infections persist for months or years, they may set the stage for neurodegenerative disease, particularly when combined with other pathogens or environmental factors. “If one intracellular pathogen can cause this many changes in two days, imagine what happens over months or years. Bartonella may be the spark that primes the brain for neurodegeneration.” — Dr. Janice Bush Why It Matters Dr. Bush's research offers a groundbreaking look at how a common, underrecognized infection may drive neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Her work bridges veterinary medicine, infectious disease, and neurology—revealing how pathogens once dismissed as minor or self-limiting may alter the brain's immune landscape. By demonstrating that Bartonella can infect and manipulate microglial cells, she provides critical biological evidence linking vector-borne disease and cognitive decline, paving the way for future diagnostic and therapeutic innovation.

Chronic stress is silently destroying your heart, gut, and immune system. Discover the science behind how cortisol damages your body and three evidence-based techniques to reverse the damage today.   A 52-year-old man with chest pain gets a clean heart test, then suffers a massive heart attack six months later. The culprit? Chronic stress that went undiagnosed. In this video, I break down exactly how stress relief isn't just about feeling better - it's about preventing life-threatening disease.   You'll learn the cortisol cascade that triggers inflammation, suppresses your immune system, and disrupts your gut microbiome. I cover landmark studies showing how anxiety and depression directly increase heart disease risk by 19%, plus three practical stress management techniques backed by clinical research.   ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 The Shocking Reality of Stress 0:30 How Emotions Become Disease 2:00 Heart Disease, Gut Disorders & Immune Suppression 4:30 3 Evidence-Based Solutions 6:30 Your Next Step

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is literally talking to a living legend today! We are with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, who is widely known as the Father of Functional Medicine! Friends this is a powerful deep dive into what true health really means. Instead of focusing only on disease, Dr. Bland explains how functional medicine looks at the entire communication system of the body, like how your organs, metabolism, brain, and behavior work together to create resilience. He breaks down why our immune system fully regenerates every four months, how women's immune systems are more sophisticated (and therefore more reactive), and why understanding root causes is the only real path toward healing chronic conditions. You'll also learn why light is a nutrient, why circadian rhythm matters, and why the goal of health isn't the absence of disease… it's better function. This episode is the reset your health curiosity has been waiting for. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:   Functional Medicine = Health Through Function, Not Disease Dr. Bland redefines health by looking at four pillars — physical, metabolic, cognitive, and behavioral function. When these systems work well together, you work well. Your Immune System Rebuilds Every 4 Months Your body makes an entirely new immune system every season. Your choices today determine whether your next “upgrade” makes you stronger or more inflamed. Light, Rhythm & Environment Are Medicine Too Sunlight, circadian rhythm, red-light therapy, nutrition, sleep, stress, and emotional patterns all act as “inputs” that shape your biology. Your body is always in conversation with the world around you.

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the five key signs that your child's nervous system may be stuck in fight or flight mode. He explains how nervous system dysregulation shows up in the most basic life functions—eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving—and why these "neurological soft signs" often get misdiagnosed as food intolerances, allergies, or behavioral issues. Dr. Tony walks parents through what to look for at every age, from infants struggling to latch and soothe, to older kids dealing with anxiety, meltdowns, and sensory challenges. He also shares his top drug-free strategies for calming a dysregulated nervous system, including the power of getting outside, protecting bedtime routines, and the often-overlooked importance of parent co-regulation.-----Links & Resources:Enter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:06:00) - The Neurological Soft Signs: Where dysregulation shows up first(00:07:00) - The Core Four: Eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving(00:14:00) - Breathing patterns and the gut-brain-immune connection(00:20:00) - Posture, motor tone, and sensory processing red flags(00:23:00) - Emotional Signs: Anxiety, meltdowns, and behavioral challenges(00:25:00) - How to Test For it: The INSiGHT Scans(00:27:00) - Dr. Tony's top tips for calming a dysregulated nervous system(00:30:00) - The Hidden Solution: Co-regulation starts with you-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Sick of Getting Sick? Build Bulletproof Immunity This Cold & Flu Season Someone in your office is coughing. The person behind you at the grocery store is sniffling. And you can feel it—that little tickle in your throat. So what do you do? Run out and get a flu shot? Load up on vitamin C and hope for the best? Here's the question nobody's asking: What if the real problem isn't the virus—it's your immune system? In this episode from our year-end replay series, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jim Lovell to reveal what most doctors won't tell you about flu shots, immune resilience, and exactly what you can do right now to fortify your body's defenses. In this episode, you'll discover: The truth about flu vaccine effectiveness that pharmaceutical companies don't advertise Why getting only 5 hours of sleep makes you NINE TIMES more likely to catch a virus Dr. Jim's exact supplement protocol when he got sick (and how he powered through) Vitamin D doses most doctors would never tell you about The breakthrough green tea extract that's knocking out viruses—even herpes zoster Why viruses attack your gut first and how that makes you vulnerable to everything else The link between chronic inflammation and aging (inflammation-aging explained) This isn't about surviving cold and flu season—it's about building immune resilience that lasts year after year.

Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at University College London and a leading expert on how different colors (wavelengths) of light impact cellular, organ and overall health. He explains that long-wavelength light (red, near-infrared and infrared) can enter the body and brain to enhance mitochondrial function and thereby improve metabolism, eyesight, blood glucose regulation, mood, hormones and more. We also discuss how short-wavelength light from LED bulbs can impair mitochondrial health and why balanced, full-spectrum light is essential for health. Dr. Jeffery shares simple yet powerful ways to use natural and artificial light sources to enhance your metabolic function, eyesight and longevity.

In this transformative episode, I sit down with my own teacher and mentor, Dr. Karen Parker, to explore the fascinating world of Quantum Human Design and how our stories literally shape our biology. Dr. Parker is a pioneer who studied with the founder of traditional Human Design and has taken the system to its next evolution—helping people not just understand who they're not, but consciously create who they want to become.  What You'll Discover  Understanding Quantum Human Design  The difference between traditional Human Design and Quantum Human Design  How Human Design synthesizes Eastern and Western astrology, the Chinese I Ching, Hindu chakra system, and Judaic Kabbalah  Why getting back into your body is essential for authentic decision-making  The evolution from learning "who you're not" to consciously creating "who you choose to become"  The Biology of Our Stories  How victim-based narratives actually lower immune response (IgA levels)  The physiological changes that occur when you reframe your story  Why optimists live longer and have longer telomeres  The connection between storytelling and post-traumatic growth  Moving Beyond Survival  Why defining ourselves as "survivors" keeps us stuck at a minimal baseline  The danger of stopping your story at the cliffhanger  How to move from surviving to thriving through the redemption arc  The Stage 3 trap: how repeating our betrayal story keeps us stuck  The Story Lab Process  A creative, fun approach to rewriting your narrative (yes, it can be enjoyable!)  Using creative writing to bypass logic and reasoning patterns  Why taking your story "out of time" creates powerful shifts  Real-life example: How one woman transformed from victim to empowered protector  Key Takeaways  Your story creates your identity, and your identity calls in experiences that validate it. Breaking this cycle requires conscious narrative reframing.  Healing doesn't have to be a crisis. The Story Lab process proves that transformation can actually be creative, playful, and fun.  Check in with your body. After sharing your betrayal story, does your body feel light, open, and expansive? Or heavy and contracted? Your body knows the truth.  The power of the redemption arc. Your story doesn't end at the betrayal—that's just the catalyst. The real story is what happens next and who you become.  Powerful Exercise to Try  Draw a horizontal line across a piece of paper. The left represents your birth, the right represents where you are now. Mark all the significant experiences in your life along this timeline. Then ask yourself: "Did I stop my story at the cliffhanger, or have I defined myself by what happened next?"  If you're still hanging at the cliffhanger, you deserve better than that.  About Dr. Karen Parker  Dr. Karen Parker holds a PhD in transpersonal psychology and is the creator of Quantum Human Design. She studied directly with the founder of traditional Human Design and spent three years in a Sound Lab testing the frequency of vocabulary to create an entirely new system that helps people consciously write their sovereign story. She's also the author of multiple books, including Quantum Wellness, which walks readers through the Story Lab process.  Connect with Dr. Karen Parker  Website: QuantumHumanDesign.com  Instagram & Facebook: @DrKarenParker22  Book: Quantum Wellness (available at major online retailers)  Stay in Touch  The PBT Institute: https://thepbtinstitute.com   My Personal Connection  As a 4/6 Manifesting Generator (Time Bender) myself, studying with Dr. Karen was life-changing. Learning about the triphasic life cycle of the 4/6 profile helped me understand why my life crashed and burned at exactly age 50—and why that was actually the beginning of my true purpose work. The concept of "finding shortcuts" as a Manifesting Generator perfectly explains why the five stages of Post Betrayal Transformation showed up in my research—it was THE shortcut to healing!

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Dr. Chris D'Adamo break down how your immune system learns, adapts, and strengthens over time—and why beta-glucan is one of the most researched natural compounds for resilience. You'll hear how immune modulation, not just stimulation, can keep you healthy through stress, seasonal shifts, and everyday exposures.   You'll learn how gut health, stress hormones, and immune function are deeply connected, and why improving your stress tolerance starts with lowering inflammation and supporting your microbiome. Dr. D'Adamo explains the science behind cortisol, trained immunity, and the role beta-glucan plays in balancing your system long before symptoms appear.   You'll also discover why immune aging may be one of the biggest drivers of biological aging—and how supporting your innate defenses can influence longevity, energy, and mood. Throughout the conversation, you'll pick up practical strategies you can start using today to strengthen immunity in a real, sustainable way.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Beta-Glucan and Cancer Research 00:37 Training Your Immune System 01:23 Beta-Glucan: Sources and Benefits 05:48 Interview with Dr. Chris D'Adamo: Immune System Focus 08:07 Beta-Glucan and Immune Modulation 09:44 Cold and Flu Season: Immune System Tips 11:24 Beta-Glucan and Biological Aging 17:45 Beta-Glucan Dosage and Usage 20:23 Personal Immune System Strategies 22:55 Trained Immunity and Beta-Glucan 25:14 Beta-Glucan and Cortisol Reduction 30:05 The Role of Beta-Glucan in Detoxification 33:07 Supplements and Modern Toxicity 34:45 Beta-Glucan for Kids 36:26 Exciting Research on Immune Health 39:17 Daily Habits for a Strong Immune System 42:12 The Benefits of Sauna and Cold Exposure 47:10 Choosing the Right Beta-Glucan Supplement 48:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

If you've ever thought that jumping straight into a mold detox was the way to go, Gracie will teach you why this mindset often backfires and how to focus on rebuilding the basic systems that mold has already broken down.It's not uncommon for people to rush into binders and antimicrobials before their body can handle them. Doing so while ignoring vitally important things like your circadian rhythm, mineral intake, and nervous-system balance can easily keep your symptoms stuck on repeat. Pushing through reactions can do a lot more harm than good… so tune into this episode to learn what has to come first before you even think about detoxing.This is a part 2 of a 2-part series where Gracie and I cover everything about mold and how to prevent it.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:19] The foundational systems your body needs in place before addressing mold toxicity[05:22] How skipping these foundations can make you more symptomatic during detox[07:09] What really triggers a histamine storm and why calming your system first matters[08:38] The critical difference between pushing through symptoms and listening to your body[09:54] Which gentle tools can help stabilize your immune system before full detox support[14:07] Why food-based binders may be safer for sensitive bodies than supplements[16:13] How simple hydration and electrolytes can transform your body's detox capacity[21:05] The pros and cons of mold testing, and when it's actually useful[30:03] The key minerals and nutrients mold exposure rapidly depletes and why they matterYou can work 1:1 with Gracie here.Master your minerals.

In this episode, Liz and Becca unpack what it really means to have an overactive immune system—and why “never getting sick” might actually be a red flag. From constant fatigue, puffiness, and poor recovery to brain fog and skin flares, they reveal the top 10 signs your immune system is running in overdrive. They also dive into the functional medicine approach to calming immune chaos, including lab patterns to watch for, key nutrient deficiencies, and why your terrain (not the virus) is the real problem. If you've been living in survival mode, it's time to understand how your immune system is crying for help—and what to do next. ***CONNECT

Whether you like it or not, winter is just around the corner. Once the true cold sets in and the snow hits, that means the balancing act begins, trying to keep everyone healthy while staying indoors more and battling the never-ending runny noses. I know as moms, it can feel like we're constantly on guard, waiting for the next bug to sweep through the house. I've been there, but knock on wood, the last few years have been pretty good for us as far as sickness, and I've come to realize that we're not powerless when it comes to our kids' health. There are simple, everyday habits that make a huge difference in our family's immune health. So today, we're going to talk about practical, holistic habits that support the immune system. If you're ready to enter this winter season with more confidence (and hopefully fewer sick days), you're in the right place. I hope this episode leaves you feeling a little more equipped, and maybe even encouraged that you don't have to slog through months of illness, as we head into the winter months. Keeping our families healthy doesn't have to be overwhelming or complicated. Healthy habits and good hygiene really do work when it comes to preventing sickness, and that the effort that you put in is totally worth it.
