The Hidden Link Between Lyme Disease and Alzheimer's (The MSIDS Protocol)
What if some people diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disease, anxiety, or even early Alzheimer's are actually dealing with an underlying infection that was never properly identified? Today, I'm sharing my conversation with Dr. Richard Horowitz, a board-certified internist who has treated more than 13,000 patients with Lyme and tick-borne disease over the last four decades, many of whom had already seen countless doctors and collected diagnoses like chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, and early dementia before discovering Lyme may have been part of the picture. Dr. Horowitz calls Lyme "the great imitator" because its symptoms can overlap with so many other conditions, and since 2016, Dr. Horowitz has published 11 papers on treatment approaches. In one of his latest studies, he and his colleagues explored a possible connection between Lyme disease and Alzheimer's biomarkers, reporting major improvements in certain inflammatory and cognitive-related markers after treatment. We discuss his broader "MSIDS" model, which looks at chronic illness through a much wider lens. Instead of looking for one single cause, the model examines multiple overlapping factors that may contribute to illness, including infections, toxins, gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, sleep issues, immune imbalance, and inflammation. In this podcast, Dr. Horowitz and I discuss: Why Lyme disease is called "the great imitator" and how it can resemble chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer's disease The often-overlooked migratory pain that is one of the hallmark symptoms of chronic Lyme The Lyme symptom questionnaire, which he developed and validated on 6,400 patients How research from Johns Hopkins and other universities changed our understanding of Lyme as a persistent infection Why Dr. Horowitz began using drugs like dapsone and rifampin in Lyme treatment protocols His published research on dapsone combination therapy and the improvements he has observed in patients His recent findings on Lyme disease and Alzheimer's biomarkers, including reductions in tau217 levels Dr. Horowitz's unique MSIDS model and the many overlapping factors that may drive chronic illness Why chronic illness rates continue rising and what conventional medicine may still be missing Why Dr. Horowitz believes recovery is possible, even for patients who have been sick for years

Dr. Evan Hirsch on Why You're Still Tired (Even When You're Doing Everything Right)
Most people think fatigue is simple. You're tired because you didn't sleep enough. Or you're stressed. Or maybe you just need more caffeine. But what if you've addressed all those factors and are still fatigued? Today, I'm joined by Dr. Evan Hirsch, a physician who has helped thousands of people recover from chronic fatigue after experiencing it himself. And according to Dr. Hirsch, fatigue is rarely caused by one singular thing. When you look deeper, a pattern emerges. Hidden infections, environmental toxins, nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep quality, and nervous system dysfunction often show up together. Once you start connecting these dots, fatigue stops looking like a simple problem and starts looking like a signal. In this episode, Dr. Hirsch and I break down the real drivers of low energy and what it actually takes to fix them, not just manage symptoms. This episode was first released in June 2017 In this podcast, Dr. Hirsch and I discuss: Why fatigue is often driven by multiple root causes, not just lack of sleep, stress, or an isolated virus How toxins, mold, and environmental exposures can silently drain your energy, and why they need to be addressed slowly versus "hard and heavy" Why poor sleep quality, not just sleep duration, is often the real issue Why many people wake up at night (and what it really means) How hidden infections, yeast, or even parasites may contribute to fatigue and long-term brain health Why morning habits can improve sleep and energy more than nighttime routines The three supplements Dr. Hirsch leans on the most when working with chronic fatigue patients How addressing root causes can lead to lasting improvements in energy

Why Dieting Makes You Tired (and Often Backfires) with Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson
Most people think weight loss is simple: eat less, move more, push through the fatigue. But what if that approach is exactly why so many diets fail? Today, I'm joined by Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, a PhD in brain and cognitive sciences who studies the neuroscience of eating behavior and long-term weight loss. According to Dr. Susan, fatigue during dieting is a short-term feeling that should ease over time…with the right approach. When you cut calories, your body doesn't just burn fat and carry on. It responds. Metabolism slows, energy drops, and hormones shift in ways that are normal but may make you feel tired. However, Dr. Susan's work challenges the idea that dieting has to mean constant hunger and fatigue. According to her data, hunger actually drops to very low levels when the right strategy is in place. Her approach is different. She believes sustainable results don't come from pushing harder. They come from working with your biology in ways that reduce fatigue, stabilize appetite, and support long-term adherence. In this episode, Dr. Susan and I break down why dieting so often leads to rebound weight gain and what to do instead. (This episode was initially released in May 2017)

The Science of Human Happiness with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar
Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar taught the most popular course ever at Harvard and is one of the world's top happiness experts. He defines happiness not as temporary pleasure (like going to the beach or eating ice cream), but as "whole person well-being," captured in his SPIRE framework: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional. One of the most powerful studies Dr. Ben-Shahar shares is about janitors, nurses, and doctors working in the same hospitals doing identical work…yet some saw their work as a "job" (something they had to do for a paycheck), others as a "career" (focused on climbing the organizational hierarchy), and others as a "calling" (meaningful work that matters). The janitors who saw their work as facilitating patient healing were happier and performed better than doctors who saw their work as just a job. Surprisingly, research shows there is NO connection between IQ and happiness. But there IS a strong connection between using your intelligence (being curious, asking questions, and lifelong learning) and happiness. Curious people are not just happier and more successful, they also live longer!

Caroline Alan (The Mineral Geek): How Fulvic and Humic Substances Power Your Cells
In this episode, I'm speaking with Caroline Alan, the self-proclaimed "Mineral Geek." She shares her history of serious health problems, including gut inflammation, periodontal disease with bone loss in her teeth, recurring sinus infections, brain fog so bad she left her corporate career, and lifelong insomnia. But her health completely transformed thanks to a chance suggestion from her business partner to try liquid minerals. Caroline is now passionate about sharing the connections she's found between mineral depletion, replenishment, and cellular function. She's also a soon-to-be published author; her book, The Mineral Reset: The Essential Guide to Replenishing Your Body and Restoring Your Health, will be available at the end of April.

The New Science of Metabolism: How to Burn Fat Without Deprivation
Most people think body fat is the problem. If you gain weight, the goal is simple: eat less, burn more, and try to get rid of it. But what if that way of thinking is fundamentally flawed? Today, I'm joined by Dr. William Li, a world-renowned physician and scientist who has led the development of more than 30 new medical treatments that impact care for over 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. Dr. Li has spent decades studying the biology of metabolism, fat, and disease. In his view, body fat itself is not the enemy. In fact, it plays a critical role in your health. The real problem begins when fat becomes excessive, dysfunctional, and inflammatory, disrupting the systems that regulate metabolism and energy balance. This shift in perspective changes everything.
