In this episode I dive into chronic fatigue syndrome and functional medicine from different angles.
- CFS is a syndrome, not a disease, involving neurological, immune, and gut dysfunction, often leaving patients feeling dismissed.
- Root causes include infections (Epstein-Barr, Lyme, mold), gut dysbiosis, and neuroinflammation, with immune weakness playing a key role.
- Traditional medicine only manages symptoms with medications, failing to address the underlying issues, leaving many without lasting relief.
- Functional medicine targets root causes, using personalized lab testing and treatments rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Functional neurology is crucial for CFS recovery, assessing brain function and connectivity to ensure a more effective treatment plan.
