  Ep 198- Lyme Disease Testing Explained: Why Standard Tests Miss Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia with Nicole Bell and Galaxy Diagnostics

  Sep 13, 202640 minS3

  Learn about lyme/bartonella/coinfection testing & diagnosis with CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, Nicole Bell. We dive into WHY standard Lyme disease testing can miss cases, what IgM and IgG antibodies can—and cannot—tell us, and how direct-detection methods such as PCR and urine antigen testing differ from ELISA, Western blot, and FISH testing. We also discuss: Why a negative Western blot does not necessarily rule out Lyme disease The difference between antibody testing and direct pathogen detection Why testing for Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia matters How IgM cross-reactivity can complicate test interpretation Persistent infection versus post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome Why multiple positive antibodies do not always mean multiple active infections The emerging connection between infections, neuroinflammation, dementia, and cognitive decline Why insurance coverage for advanced testing remains so difficult How to advocate for yourself when a diagnosis does not explain your symptoms This conversation is a powerful reminder that receiving a diagnosis does not necessarily mean you have found the root cause. Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, dementia, and even PCOS describe patterns of symptoms-but the bigger question is: WHY are those symptoms happening?

  Ep 197- GLP 1 Medications and Weight Loss- Benefits, Hidden Dangers, and How to Use Them Responsibly

  Aug 14, 202647 minS3

  This isn’t an anti-GLP-1 episode. It’s an anti-“here’s your injection, see you in six months” episode. In this episode of Root Cause Radio, we break down how GLP-1 medications work, including semaglutide, the dual GLP-1/GIP agonist tirzepatide, and the investigational triple agonist retatrutide. We explain how these medications truly work (and how some may work better than others), and how they influence appetite, fullness, blood sugar, gastric emptying, fat metabolism, and energy expenditure. We also explore the parts of GLP-1 use that are too often ignored: • Undereating, nutrient deficiencies, and inadequate protein intake • Muscle loss and changes in body composition • Nausea, constipation, reflux, bloating, and impaired gut motility • Potential consequences for women’s hormones, menstrual cycles, and fertility • Gallbladder, pancreatic, kidney, and dehydration concerns • Reduced pleasure, motivation, and possible anhedonia • Metabolic adaptation and weight regain after stopping • The emerging conversation around low-dose or “microdosed” GLP-1 use for conditions such as endometriosis, MCAS, and autoimmune disease Most importantly, we discuss what responsible GLP-1 care should actually look like: adequate calories and protein, resistance training, micronutrient monitoring, proactive GI support, individualized dosing, body-composition assessment, and a transition plan that begins before the medication is stopped. GLP-1 medications can be valuable tools- let's know what they really do, how they work, and how do use them responsibly.

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

  Jul 19, 202658 minS3

  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!!
