Most people think of chronic illness as something caused by a specific trigger…an infection, a toxin, or even an autoimmune reaction. And the solution is to find and eliminate that one thing. But what if that’s not how it actually works? Today, I’m excited to have Dr. Eric Gordon back on the podcast. He's built a reputation for doing what most doctors won't, which is looking beyond the diagnosis to find what's actually driving a patient's illness and figuring out the right order to address it. His clinical work spans Lyme disease, ME/CFS, autoimmune conditions, and mitochondrial dysfunction, and many other forms of dysfunction, often all at once in the same patient. In 2016, he co-authored a landmark study with Dr. Robert Naviaux, also a former guest on this podcast and a bit of a personal hero of mine, someone who has done some of the most important work in medicine of the last century, with his work on the cell danger response. In Dr. Gordon’s view, chronic illness happens when the body’s normal healing cycle gets interrupted and stuck in a persistent inflammatory state. From that perspective, the problem isn’t just the original trigger. It’s the state your body has shifted into. And if that’s true, it changes how you approach treatment. That shift in thinking opens the door to very different kinds of interventions. These approaches focus on changing the broader biological environment rather than chasing a single cause. In this episode, Dr. Gordon and I discuss a therapy that filters and replaces part of your blood plasma and may help remove inflammatory factors circulating in the blood that keep the body stuck. In this podcast, Dr. Eric Gordon and I discuss:

Garlic Boosts Longevity
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
The Greek island of Ikaria is one of the areas National Geographic fellow and explorer Dan Buettner has labeled a Blue Zone — communities where people tend to live longer as a whole, often to the age of 100 or beyond.
The people in Ikaria live on average eight years longer than Americans, have half the rate of heart disease, and almost no dementia. One in three make it to the age of 90 thanks to a vigorous life, robust red wine, and a rugged terrain that draws them outdoors. But it’s the food, including garlic, that residents swear keeps them young and hearty.

The Ikarian diet tends to be mostly plant-based, with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, potatoes, olive oil, and of course lots of garlic.
Research shows that garlic is an excellent healing herb with antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Scientists attribute its medicinal power to the sulfur compounds found in it.
Studies have shown that consuming garlic not only improves cardiovascular health, but may also prevent Alzheimer’s disease, boost athletic performance, and help you live longer.

Last time, I explained why peace feels elusive - because the part of your mind wired to protect you is always scanning for threats, even when there are none. When life feels out of control, your default response is to brace yourself, expecting the worst.
Your mind takes your words and images as instructions. Feed it with the language of panic, and it will sound the alarm, but if you tell it that you’re safe and capable, the mind settles.
You can overcome habitual worry, but it has to start with at the very root. Change the commands you give your mind, and you change your experience. Here’s how to start:
Others notice your composure, and opportunities recognize your readiness. Finally, your life - and the rest of the world - starts following your lead.

You can overcome habitual worry, but it has to start with at the very root. Change the commands you give your mind, and you change your experience. Here’s how to start:
- Swap your self-language
Start and end your day by speaking to yourself with authority and encouragement. Replace thoughts like “I can’t handle this” with “I am steady and resourceful, no matter what happens.” Your mind listens to your words - the type of language you feed it is what enriches it.
- Practice physical grounding
When life feels overwhelming, connect to your body. Plant both feet firmly on the floor, notice the sensation, and take three slow, deliberate breaths. This brings you out of your head and back into the present, restoring a sense of control.
- Create micro-routines
Practise a few rituals into your day, such as pouring your morning tea, stretching for five minutes, or even simply tidying your space. These daily acts anchor you in a low-stakes routine to create pockets of certainty, even when the world feels unpredictable.
- Be selective of what you gets your attention
Step away from sources of constant negativity - news cycles, social media, energy-draining conversations, and more. Set boundaries around what you let in, so your mind has space to settle and recharge.
- Trust your abilities as an antidote
Remind yourself daily that you have handled every challenge so far and you can handle whatever comes next. Trust in your own resilience turns chaos into adventure and restores self-belief, no matter what the day brings.
Others notice your composure, and opportunities recognize your readiness. Finally, your life - and the rest of the world - starts following your lead.

New Zealand GP who told his patients the truth about experimental COVID vaccines and tried to import ivermectin in 2021 being prosecuted for it in 2026.
REALLY? There were no patient complaints, of course. Only the system clamping down on doctors who actually did their duty
