How to Finally Understand What’s Making You Sick (and What to Do About It) - Dr. Eric Gordon

Описание: This week on the TPE Blueprint, Joe Fier welcomes Dr. Eric Gordon, a leading expert in chronic disease and environmental medicine, for a deep dive into why traditional medicine often misses the mark with chronic illness. Together, they explore how hidden inflammation, environmental toxins, and ongoing stress can silently erode health over time, leading to seemingly unexplained symptoms and persistent diagnoses. Dr. Gordon sheds light on the nuanced world of chronic disease, the value (and limitations) of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE/plasmapheresis), and the importance of thinking holistically when approaching healing. Listeners will discover the power of personalized medicine, environmental detoxification, and actionable strategies to restore vitality.
