About My Guest:
My guest for this episode is Dr. Jonathan Streit.  Jonathan Streit, DC, CPN, IFMCP is a Functional and European Biological Medicine practitioner.  He has dedicated his professional life to helping patients with complex chronic illnesses.  His passion for this type of work grew from walking with his wife through her own battle with Epstein Barr and Lyme disease.  Since then, Dr. Streit has focused his career on applying and advancing these approaches to address the deeper roots surrounding chronic illness.  He's the co-founder of the Institute for Restorative Health, where he and his team use their BioRestorative Method™ a comprehensive approach that blends European Biological Medicine, Functional Medicine, neurology, nutrition, and terrain-based healing principles.  Dr. Streit has trained with internationally recognized leaders in healthcare, completed postdoctoral work through the American Institute of Postural Neurology, and teaches pathology and functional medicine for the University of Integrative Health doctoral program.  With nearly two decades of clinical experience, he has supported patients across a wide range of chronic health challenges.  To bring these insights to the many still struggling without answers, he wrote "Silent Spark: An Unseen Force Fueling Chronic Illness and How to Heal", a book that sheds light on the often-overlooked deepest roots keeping people sick.

In this episode, you will learn about the latest approaches to healing your body from mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and other complex, chronic health conditions.
About My Guest:
My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for over 50 years and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI. He has written several books, including "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks."  He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook, "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016" (now updated to 2022), and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness."  2021 saw the publication of "Energetic Diagnosis," a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness.  In 2024, his book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released with a focus on how to approach the treatment of sensitive patients.  And most recently, in late 2025, the second edition of his book "Toxic" was released with several years of new information and insights on healing from complex chronic conditions.  Dr. Nathan has been treating chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years now, and Lyme disease for the past 20 years.  As his practice has evolved, he finds himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them to recover.
