[td] Metabolism vs. Metabolic Health And Why the Difference Matters in Complex Chronic Illness |
[td] We hear these two terms used interchangeably almost every day, in patient intake calls, in wellness articles, and even among clinicians. Metabolism and metabolic health sound like the same idea wearing two different names. They are not. Understanding the difference is not just a matter of semantics. In our latest article, we dive into why, for patients living with complex chronic illness, this distinction can be the difference between a diagnosis that makes sense and years spent being told your labs are normal while you feel far from well. |

[td] Tick-Borne Illness Global Summit |
[td] Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia will be participating in the upcoming Tick-Borne Illness Global Summit, discussing key treatment therapies and tools. Dr. Gordon will be presenting on Plasmapheresis Advanced Therapy for Lyme & Tick-Borne Illnesses. Dr. Gordon shares that plasmapheresis does not directly cure Lyme disease. Instead, it serves as a tool to help restore more optimal immune function, creating conditions that allow other treatments to work more effectively. By removing inflammatory mediators and immune complexes from the bloodstream, plasmapheresis can help quiet the overactive or misdirected immune responses that characterize chronic tick-borne illness. Dr. Parpia will be presenting on Bioregulators & Peptides for Lyme and Tick-Borne Illness. Dr. Parpia will share that, when addressing Lyme and tick-borne illness, peptides and bioregulators are best understood as part of a broader care process. They are not a standalone treatment for most patients with Lyme and tick-borne illness. Used thoughtfully, they can be an important facet of a broader healing protocol, helping patients move beyond symptom management toward more complete recovery. |

[td] Nervous System Dysregulation and Healing Trauma |
[td] The nervous system's role in chronic illness is often overlooked, yet it may be the crucial missing piece in many healing journeys. When our body remains in a defensive state, it creates an environment that can resist even the most promising treatments. For many struggling with complex conditions, addressing nervous system dysregulation might be the key that unlocks their body's natural capacity to heal. Our friend Alex Howard is hosting the upcoming Heal Your Trauma Summit October 19 - 25, where he will explore the far-reaching impacts of trauma. |

[td] Dr. Eric Gordon joins Dr. Jason Bradley and James Chester on the Get Better Faster podcast to explain what plasmapheresis or therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) actually removes, from albumin-bound toxins to senescence-associated proteins, and why he's candid that it's "not magic" and "not a cure on its own." Drawing on over 40 years of treating complex chronic illness, Dr. Gordon covers mitochondrial function and the Cell Danger Response, the value of pre- and post-treatment testing, and how to select and prepare the right candidates. |
