    Ep 196- Ending Chronic Illness- Why You Get and Stay Sick & How to Diagnose and Treat Chronic Illness with Dr. Richard Horowitz

    Today's guest is the genius and gem of a human- Dr. Richard Horowitz! Dr. Richard is board-certified internist, published researcher, pioneer in integrative medicine, and creator of the MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome) model. He is also a 2x best selling author and one of the foundational doctor's helping people finally taking their health back from chronic disease. Today we discuss how his MSIDS model provides a systems-based framework for understanding how chronic infections, gut dysfunction, environmental toxins, immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and other overlapping stressors contribute to persistent illness- and how you can help diagnose AND treat to get your health back. We also discuss various items such as: -Why some get Lyme and some don't -Why some get long COVID and some don't -What holds people back from healing -The foundations you need to ask yourself when trying to heal your body Some random nuggets of wisdom in this podcast include: Lyme/Alzheimer's link: First published reversal of Alzheimer's biomarkers in a chronic Lyme patient after 9-week dapsone protocol. Bartonella identified as a major driver of long COVID, neuropsychiatric illness, and immune suppression; transmitted via cat scratches, fleas, mites, spider bites — not only tick bites. Emotional trauma / limbic dysfunction blocks biological recovery; limbic retraining (EMDR, DNRS, Primal Trust) is often required before other treatments become effective. Glutathione depletion enables COVID-19 (and other viruses) to replicate; blocking NF-κB and stimulating NRF2 pathways provided protection during the pandemic. Autism biomarkers (neurofilament light, P-tau) appear in children before symptom onset — same Alzheimer's markers found in adults. SO you can say- we get deep and nerdy!!
