Send us a textIs chronic neuroinflammation the silent driver behind modern brain diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Long COVID, and mood disorders? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford speaks with Cuong Do, the CEO of BioVie Pharmaceuticals, who came out of retirement to tackle the growing challenge of neurodegenerative diseases. They delve into the intricate science of TNF-alpha, explore the concept of insulin resistance within the brain, and discuss the potential of next-generation neurodrugs, such as BioVie's Bezisterem, to not only alleviate symptoms but potentially alter the trajectory of aging itself. Join them as they unpack the significance of ongoing clinical trials, the implications of biological clocks and mitochondrial health, and the often-overlooked connections between inflammation and crucial aspects of health, including cognition, hormones, longevity, and even autism.Key TakeawaysMany chronic conditions, including neurodevelopmental disorders and autoimmune diseases, may stem from fundamental light signaling failures at the cellular level.In Alzheimer's disease, TNF-alpha drives the production of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the phosphorylation of tau, contributing to amyloid plaques and tau tangles, though these may be downstream effects of inflammation.Emerging research links the brain fog, fatigue, and malaise associated with Long COVID to inflammatory mechanisms that BioVie's drug candidate, Bezisterem, aims to modulate.Pre-clinical studies of Bezisterem in Parkinson's models showed it to be as effective as Levodopa in restoring muscle control and demonstrated a synergistic effect when used in combination.Bezisterem is a small molecule that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier and has shown a long half-life, potentially offering benefits for Parkinson's patients experiencing "off" states in the morning.BioVie is actively monitoring biomarkers of neurodegeneration, such as GFAP and neurofilament light (NFL), in their clinical trials and has observed a disruption in the typical correlation between disease progression and these markers in the treatment arm.ResourcesBioVie Pharmaceuticals: biovpharma.comClinical Trials Info: https://www.bioviepharma.com/clinical-trialsProducts 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution StimPod Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices.   In this interview, we discuss:       -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction      -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways      -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses      -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences)      -The three “R”s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage       -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success      -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/   Connect with Dr. Ashok Gupta: Website: http://www.guptaprogram.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guptaprogram/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guptaprogram/   Special Offer to RWS Listeners:  We offer all practicing clinicians free access to our brain retraining program for one year -  worth $499 - they can sign up/apply at: https://guptaprogram.com/health-professionals/ Timestamps:    00:00 Mind-Body Healing Hypothesis 09:27 "Integrating Brain-Gut Axis Approaches" 12:59 "Brain Retraining for Chronic Issues" 18:18 Chronic Illness: Break the Vicious Cycle 26:26 Reengage with Joy Program 32:23 "Commit to a Healing Journey" 36:17 Acute vs. Chronic Treatment Approaches 43:50 "Brain Retraining Effectiveness Factors" 49:53 Brain Retraining for Clinicians 52:55 Clinician Co-Branding Service Launch 56:10 Incorporating Nervous System in Health 01:06:22 "Neuroplasticity Healing Success Stories" 01:10:42 Clinician's Corner: Episode Recap Speaker bio: Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.   Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University.

“What if depression isn't just in your head—but in your immune system?” — Dr. Edward Bullmore, The Inflamed Mind What if your depression isn't psychological—but inflammatory? In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between Dr. Edward Bullmore's book The Inflamed Mind and the ongoing mystery of long COVID. We explore how spike protein, chronic immune activation, and persistent inflammation could be driving brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue in millions. This isn't conspiracy—this is cutting-edge science ignored because it makes people uncomfortable. No politics, just biology. And maybe… a path toward healing.

What if your body's collapse wasn't burnout… but a system crash no test can catch? In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes Isabelle Ramirez Burnett, systems engineer, health coach, and founder of Renegade Research, to reveal the silent breakdowns behind ME/CFS, long COVID, and hypermobility-related illness. Diagnosed with ME/CFS at just 7 years old, Isabelle pulls back the curtain on decades of missed diagnoses, medical dismissal, and her discovery of a community willing to do what the healthcare system couldn't—build their own science. You'll hear about the remission that stunned researchers, the controversial meds that gave her life back, and the protocols patients are building from the ground up. If you've ever wondered why your body feels like it's working against you—or what recovery might actually look like—this episode may change everything. Takeaways: She couldn't stand in front of the fridge—until a “taboo” medication changed everything. The labs were normal. Her body was screaming. A grandmother, a diagnosis, and an unstoppable fight for answers. What if your symptoms don't show up on any scan… but still hold the truth? The protocol that sparked a remission—and a global movement. Find the episode transcript here.

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or debilitating tiredness that just won't go away, you're not alone—and you're not imagining things. Millions of people suffer from persistent fatigue that conventional medicine often fails to resolve. Fatigue and stress can make everyday tasks like working at a computer feel overwhelming, as seen in this image, which represents the experience of many with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) At the Hedberg Institute, I'm always researching botanical compounds that support microcirculation, mitochondrial health, and immune regulation—all vital in restoring energy. That's why I formulated VascuSelect, a synergistic supplement that contains three powerful plant extracts: Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and mango whole fruit powder. Let's dive into why Ginkgo biloba, in particular, stands out for those dealing with ME/CFS and how it works alongside other ingredients in VascuSelect to support your energy and vitality. An Important Study: Ginkgo Biloba for ME/CFS A recent paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) titled “A Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Study” sheds important light on Ginkgo's role in combating chronic fatigue. In this gold-standard clinical trial, 101 adults with ME/CFS received a botanical supplement combining Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg/day) and Cistanche tubulosa extract (300 mg/day) or a placebo for 60 days. The results were impressive: Significant reductions in fatigue severity Improved physical performance and VO₂ max Enhanced antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress markers Improved sleep quality and concentration Enhanced quality of life (QOL) and sexual life (SLQ) scores Decreased blood levels of lactic acid and ammonia (both fatigue biomarkers) What's particularly exciting is that Ginkgo biloba played a central role in this formulation. The authors noted that Ginkgo's flavonoids and terpenoids contribute to neuroprotection, vasodilation, and mitochondrial support, all of which are key areas of dysfunction in ME/CFS patients. This study confirms that Ginkgo biloba, known for enhancing blood flow and antioxidant activity, can play a central role in reducing the burdens of ME/CFS. How Ginkgo Biloba Helps Fight Fatigue Ginkgo biloba (standardized to 24% flavonol glycosides and 6% terpenes) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for circulatory and cognitive health. But its applications go far beyond brain support—especially for those with energy-depleting illnesses like ME/CFS. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest and most studied medicinal plants. It's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but modern science is now validating its applications for conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. 1. Improves Microcirculation Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, especially in the small vessels of the brain and extremities. This is critical in ME/CFS, where impaired oxygen delivery to tissues can worsen fatigue. 2. Supports Mitochondrial Function Many people with ME/CFS experience dysfunctional mitochondria—the energy-producing engines of cells. Ginkgo has been shown to protect mitochondrial membranes and improve ATP production, helping the body generate more usable energy. 3. Reduces Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is a hallmark of ME/CFS and contributes to inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue. Ginkgo's rich flavonoid profile helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In the study mentioned above, participants taking Ginkgo and Cistanche showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT. 4. Enhances Neurotransmitter Function Ginkgo biloba modulates neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—chemicals that regulate mood,

I'm thrilled to announce the launch of my new podcast: Infection Connection — a show dedicated to uncovering how stealth infections and hidden pathogens are driving the rise of complex chronic illnesses. If you've followed my work at the Hedberg Institute or listened to past podcast episodes, you know I'm passionate about investigating the root causes of conditions that conventional medicine often struggles to explain. That passion has now evolved into Infection Connection — a focused exploration of the link between infections and the growing epidemic of chronic disease. What You'll Hear on Infection Connection Each episode will take a deep dive into how infections contribute to (or trigger) some of the most challenging chronic illnesses we see today, including: Long COVID Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Lyme Disease and coinfections Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Mold and Mycotoxin Illness Autoimmune Disease …and many others I'll be drawing on the latest research, clinical experience, and the powerful tools of functional medicine to help practitioners and patients understand how to identify and address these complex drivers of disease. Who Is This Podcast For? Whether you're a health practitioner, a patient on your own healing journey, or simply someone fascinated by the science of chronic illness, Infection Connection will offer insights you won't find anywhere else. Expect evidence-based strategies, cutting-edge perspectives, and real-world case studies that connect the dots between infection and dysfunction. Why the Change? If you've been subscribed to my previous podcast, you'll automatically receive new episodes of Infection Connection — no need to re-subscribe. The updated title and direction reflect where my work has naturally evolved: a deeper focus on infectious root causes and the protocols that work. What's Coming Up The first few episodes will cover: Ginkgo biloba and ME/CFS Herbal and supplement strategies for Long COVID The best herbs for infection-driven insomnia Stay Connected Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and don't forget to leave a review if you find the content helpful — it really helps others discover the show.
