130: Why Your Hormone Protocol Isn’t Working: Mold, Lyme & Chronic Inflammation
What happens when you’re doing all the “right” things for your hormones and health, but you still don’t feel better? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neil Nathan to explore why underlying factors like mold, Lyme disease, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and detoxification challenges may complicate treatment.
We also talk about why some patients react unexpectedly to hormones or supplements, how Dr. Nathan approaches complex chronic illness, and why looking beyond the obvious diagnosis can sometimes change the conversation.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
Why hormone protocols don’t always work as expected
How mold and Lyme may affect the immune system
Why “detox” isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach
What persistent or unusual symptoms may be telling you
How inflammation can present differently from person to person
What cytokine testing can reveal
Why environmental exposure matters
When it may be time to look deeper
If you’ve experienced persistent symptoms, unexpected reactions to treatment, or the frustration of doing everything “right” and still not feeling better, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear.
