Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Neil Nathan, MD—physician, teacher, and author with over 50 years of experience helping patients with complex chronic illness.
We dive deep into the importance of finding and treating the root causes of illness rather than just masking symptoms. Dr. Nathan shares why listening to a patient’s story is the most powerful diagnostic tool, and how conditions like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are often at the core of chronic health struggles.
Dr. Nathan walks us through his staged treatment approach—starting with rebooting the limbic and vagal nervous systems, stabilizing mast cells, and then carefully addressing the underlying root cause.
We also explore how COVID-19 can unmask hidden illness, why many patients feel unheard in conventional medicine, and how hope is the most powerful medicine of all.
This is an eye-opening, compassionate conversation for anyone navigating chronic illness or supporting a loved one through it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
