Special guest Dr Chris Turnpaugh presents on how to regulate the immune system, including the gut and brain immune systems in the state of unresolved illness. He will use PANS/PANDAS and Lyme disease as examples of immune dysregulation in chronic illness and how to address these issues. Stabilizing the immune system includes addressing digestive health, detoxification, inflammation, and stress. Dr Debby Hamilton offers her clinical expertise and strategies for addressing these specific issues in the context of regulating the immune system.
We know that the brain and the gut are intricately interrelated – indeed the gut is often referred to as our second brain. Exciting new developments in the arena of the gut-brain axis (GBA) – also referred to as the ‘psychobiome’ offers promise for many mental health disorders.
