    The Real Reason Some Chronic Illness Cases Get Missed

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jaban Moore to explore why some chronic illness cases are so difficult to diagnose and treat. We talk about how Lyme, mold, parasites, toxic burden, and nervous system dysregulation can overlap, why standard testing often falls short, and how healing requires addressing both internal imbalances and environmental stressors. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Jaban Moore is a DC located in Kansas City, MO, who works virtually with clients all around the world.

He was later diagnosed with Lyme disease and dedicates his practice to helping clients get to the root cause of their chronic illness. Dr. Moore specializes in Lyme disease and co-infections, PANS/PANDAS, autism, heavy metals, parasites, gut health, mitochondrial support, and other viruses and pathogens. - - - - - Connect with Dr. Jaban Moore, DC Website: https://drjabanmoore.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjaban/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjabanmoore/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgCDI1l6SF-q_wNG8czQ0nASpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HoxHw9yPXJMFVt14frBfZ?si=78cd2cfac75441ed - - - - - Connect with Dr. Jess Peatross, MD Website: ⁠⁠https://wellnessplus.com/⁠⁠  Instagram: ⁦⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/dr.jess.md⁠⁠  Facebook: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/wplusbydrjess/ - - - - - PODCAST Thank you for listening.

    Why Your Body Isn't Healing—And What Your Brain Might Have to Do With It

    In this episode, I sit down with Ashok Gupta to explore why so many people with chronic illness are told they're "fine" when they clearly aren't. We break down how the nervous system and immune system can get stuck in survival mode, driving symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and reactivity. We also talk about neuroplasticity and how retraining the brain may be the missing piece in healing. - - - - - About the Guest: Ashok Gupta 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. Through neurological research that he conducted, he managed to get himself 100% better. He then set up a clinic to treat others and published the well-known recovery program known as the Gupta Program in 2007. It now has 5 independent randomized controlled trials demonstrating its efficacy for ME/CFS, Long Covid, Fibromyalgia, Mold illness, Lyme, and many more. He has published several medical papers and is continually researching these conditions.
