Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Menopause, and Science for Women 35+ Ep. 547 Master Your Healing – The Ultimate Guide to Mold, Lyme & Chronic Illness Recovery with Dr. Neil Nathan | Menopause & Mold
I am honored to connect with Dr. Neil Nathan today. Dr. Nathan has been practicing medicine for over 50 years. He is board-certified in family medicine and pain management, a founding diplomat of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and a founding member of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness. He is also a published author and has recently released an updated and expanded version of his book, Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness.
In our discussion, we explore various complex medical illnesses and the effects of mold, chronic inflammation, immunosenescence, and genetics on the immune system, vagus nerve, and limbic system. We discuss mold exposure and colonization, and what that means for midlife women, along with MCAS, Lyme disease, and mast cell degranulation, and we examine Epstein-Barr as a symptom rather than a primary driver. We also cover limbic and vagal retraining, and Dr. Nathan shares his systematic approach to supporting the adrenal glands and to detoxification efforts in treatment.
This episode with the renowned Dr. Neil Nathan is like a mini masterclass on complex medical illnesses. I found his book super-informative and probably the most systematic source I’ve ever read on mold, Lyme, and complex medical problems.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
• How our current medical system fails to support complex patients
• How limited appointment times prevent root-cause investigation
• What mold colonization means and why its location in the body matters
• Why leaving a moldy environment does not always resolve symptoms
• How Epstein-Barr often signals immune dysfunction rather than causing it
• Why limbic retraining is essential in today’s world
• Dr. Nathan shares his systematic approach to adrenal support
• Practical steps to support liver, gut, kidney, and lymphatic detoxification
• Why addressing mold and Candida must precede SIBO treatment
