The Shocking Truth About Chronic Illness: How to Reset Your Nervous System & Slow Aging

The Truth About Chronic Illness: How to Reset Your Nervous System & Slow Aging

FxMed PodcastLeave a comment

We’ve all had patients struggling with chronic conditions like long COVID, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and chronic fatigue. Despite all the tools in our functional medicine toolkit, there’s still something missing. How can we truly help them? I’m excited to have Ashok Gupta is back on the New Frontiers podcast to offer a new take on that healing from chronic illnessquestion. He explains that how many chronic diseases stem from a malfunction in the brain’s threat detection system, where the body overreacts to perceived threats, triggering immune, nervous system, or mood responses, . This creatinges a vicious cycle. Ashok shares how retraining the brain and calming the nervous system can reset the body’s response to chronic stress and presents the growing body of research supporting thehis Gupta Program, including new subjective measurements like CRP showing its impact. What excites me most is the potential for this approach to help some of my toughest-to-treat patients. With more studies emerging, I’m increasingly hopeful this could be a game-changer. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss! ~DrKF

Exposomics and Precision Medicine: Redefining Chronic Disease with Environmental Insights

A Fresh Take on Exposomics: Resiliency Factors That Offset Environmental Risks

FxMed PodcastLeave a comment

In this episode, we’re diving into exposomics—one of the most cutting-edge fields in environmental medicine. We in the functional medicine space have long embraced this approach that focuses on the lifelong effects of environmental exposures, from the prenatal period on, and how these exposures shape our health over time. I’m thrilled to have Drs. Robert and Rosalind Wright with us, pioneers in this field at Mount Sinai to share their research exploring how environmental factors, from lead and air pollution to social stress, can influence chronic diseases like asthma, obesity, Alzheimer’s, and autism.

I’m really excited about this one—Dr. Greg Kelly is back with us, and we’re diving deep into NAD, a molecule that’s finally getting the attention it deserves. If you’ve heard me talk about NAD before, you know how foundational it is for energy, longevity, and cellular health, but I’ve got to say—after today’s conversation, I’m looking at it in a whole new way. Dr. Kelly brings a fresh perspective on how NAD influences mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and even the aging process. He’s challenging the way we think about aging, and I’m here for it. For me, NAD is no longer just a side player—it’s going front and center in my supplement stack. If you’re wondering how it might show up clinically, whether it’s in fatigue or other signs of cellular stress, you’ll want to listen in. And if you’re like me, you’ll be adding this one to your regular routine. Have a listen and get ready to rethink how you approach aging and energy. ~DrKF
