Wildfire Smoke: Underestimated Health Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Dr. Nafysa Parpia sits down with Dr. Lyn Patrick, a pioneer in environmental medicine, to make the case that wildfire smoke is a silent and largely underestimated driver of chronic illness, one that every patient and practitioner needs to understand.
The Science of Neurosomatic Mindfulness & Healing
Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Fleet Maull, PhD, neuroscience-informed meditation expert, to make the case that healing at this level requires something medicine rarely prescribes: learning to be present with the body rather than retreating from it.
Spiky-Leaky Syndrome, Dysautonomia, and Structural Instability
Dr. Nafysa Parpia sits down with Dr. Andrew Maxwell, the pediatric cardiologist who identified Spiky-Leaky Syndrome, in which intracranial pressure alternates daily with CSF leaks, driven by breathing patterns and structural compression.
How Your Feet and Spine Impact Your Health
Most patients with chronic illness focus on biochemistry while overlooking how physical structure affects inflammation, lymphatic drainage, and immune function. Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Yonatan Whitten to discuss how loss of spinal curves and foot arches increases all-cause mortality, impairs tissue oxygenation, and perpetuates chronic illness.
Resetting Nervous System Patterns with Neural Therapy
Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Alex Egerter, a DO who specializes in neural therapy and regenerative medicine, to explore how targeted injections of procaine can interrupt these deeply embedded nervous system patterns and open the door to healing that other therapies alone can’t access.
Plasmapheresis (TPE): What It’s Doing, Who It Helps, and What’s Being Missed
Dr. Eric Gordon joins Dr. Nafysa Parpia for a deep dive into one of the most talked-about therapies in complex chronic illness and longevity medicine. They discuss how TPE differs from EBOO, IVIG, and inuspheresis and make clear that it is not a standalone cure. In the right person, at the right time, with the right preparation, it can help shift a system that’s been stuck in chronic inflammation for years.
What We’ve Missed About the Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve may be one of the most talked-about topics in integrative health, but most of what’s being said barely scratches the surface.
In this episode, Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Navaz Habib to discuss what’s happening inside this nerve and why getting it right matters deeply for anyone navigating chronic illness.
The Septet Model for ME/CFS and Long COVID
ME/CFS and Long COVID don’t fit the medical model of one problem, one organ, one treatment and that’s exactly why so many patients stay sick. Dr. David Kaufman joins Dr. Eric Gordon to make the case that these illnesses are better understood as seven overlapping, constantly interacting pathologies.
Understanding Bioregulators: Epigenetic Switches for Healing and Recovery
Bioregulators are short-chain peptides preserved across all life forms that restore proper genetic expression and cellular rejuvenation. Dr. Nafysa Parpia sits down with Nathalie Niddam to discuss bioregulators, which were developed in the Soviet Union to preserve physiological function and resilience in aging populations and high-stress occupations.
How Trauma Sets the Stage for Chronic Illness
The central nervous system plays a crucial role in controlling the body and setting the stage for chronic illness development, with trauma being a key factor in illness persistence. Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian to discuss how trauma is not just the event itself but the five physiological steps that create lasting changes in the nervous system and cellular biology.
