The Med Matrix Method

Brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, neurological symptoms, migraines, heart palpitations… But you’ve been told… “Your Lyme test is negative.” 😔In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine providers Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP and Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM dive into one of the most debated topics in modern medicine: chronic Lyme disease and tick-borne illness.Lyme disease is often presented as simple — a tick bite, antibiotics, and you’re fine.But what happens when symptoms don’t go away?Why are so many patients still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and neurological dysfunction long after “treatment”? And why is chronic Lyme still controversial?In this episode, we explore:✔️ The difference between acute Lyme disease and chronic Lyme patterns✔️ Why standard Lyme testing frequently misses active infections✔️ The role of Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, and other tick-borne co-infections✔️ How immune dysregulation keeps symptoms alive✔️ Why chronic inflammation and biofilms complicate recovery✔️ The connection between mold toxicity and persistent Lyme symptoms✔️ Neurological Lyme (neuro-Lyme) and its impact on cognition and mood✔️ Why patients are often dismissed or misdiagnosed✔️ A functional medicine, root-cause approach to restoring immune balance💡 What if it’s not “all in your head”… but an unresolved immune and inflammatory response?Prevention matters, too — especially during peak tick season. If you spend time outdoors, tools like Tick Wraps (https://tickwraps.com/) are designed to help reduce tick exposure and add an extra layer of protection while hiking, working, or enjoying nature.This conversation goes beyond surface-level explanations and into the deeper terrain factors that determine why some patients recover — and others continue searching for answers.If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal, this episode will help you understand why Lyme disease remains one of the most misunderstood chronic illnesses today.👇 Have questions about chronic Lyme, co-infections, or persistent symptoms?

You fall asleep just fine. But then 3AM hits.Your eyes open. Your mind won’t shut off.And by morning? You’re exhausted.You’ve probably been told it’s just stress… or that it’s “normal.” 😔In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM breaks down one of the most common — and misunderstood — sleep disruptions: 3AM wake-ups.This isn’t random.It’s often a cortisol rhythm issue.Your body follows a precise circadian pattern governed by the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis). When chronic stress, blood sugar instability, trauma, inflammation, or hormone imbalances disrupt that rhythm, cortisol can spike in the middle of the night — pulling you out of deep sleep and into a wired, hyper-alert state.💡 What if your 3AM wake-ups aren’t insomnia — but a stress-response signal?From adrenal dysfunction and blood sugar crashes to perimenopause, thyroid imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation, this episode connects the dots between chronic stress and fragmented sleep.You’ll learn:✔️ Why cortisol should be lowest at night — and what causes it to spike✔️ The connection between 3AM wake-ups and blood sugar instability✔️ How trauma and chronic stress keep the body in “survival mode”✔️ Why melatonin isn’t always the answer✔️ The role of progesterone, thyroid, and sex hormones in sleep quality✔️ A functional medicine approach to restoring deep, restorative sleepIf you’re exhausted during the day, wired at night, and tired of being told everything is “normal” — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body.👇 Have questions about cortisol, burnout, or insomnia?

Heart racing. Dizziness. Fainting. Brain fog. Fatigue.And you’ve been told… “It’s just anxiety.” 😔In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine providers Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP and Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM discuss one of the most overlooked root causes behind these symptoms: hypermobility and dysautonomia.We explore how connective tissue instability can impact blood vessel tone, autonomic nervous system regulation, and whole-body function — and why so many patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders are misdiagnosed for years.From POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) to chronic fatigue, mast cell activation, and nervous system dysfunction… 💡 What if your “bendy” joints are connected to your racing heart, temperature dysregulation, gut issues, and chronic exhaustion?You’ll learn:✔️ What dysautonomia actually is — and why it’s not “just anxiety”✔️ The connection between hypermobility, POTS, EDS, and chronic illness✔️ How the autonomic nervous system affects heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and brain function✔️ Why women are disproportionately affected by hypermobility-related conditions✔️ The role of inflammation, gut dysfunction, mold, infections, and trauma in nervous system dysregulation✔️ A functional medicine approach to stabilizing the nervous system and improving quality of lifeIf you’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told your labs are “normal” while your symptoms persist — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body.👇 Have questions about hypermobility, POTS, or dysautonomia?

PMS that knocks you out.Hormonal acne that won’t clear.Heavy periods. Breast tenderness. Mood swings.Stubborn belly fat that won’t budge — no matter how “clean” you eat.And you’ve been told… “It’s just hormones.” 😔In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Sasha Rose, ND, LAc, MSOM unpacks one of the most overlooked drivers of estrogen imbalance: the estrobolome.The estrobolome is the collection of gut bacteria responsible for metabolizing and regulating estrogen. When it’s disrupted, estrogen can recirculate improperly — contributing to estrogen dominance, PMS, acne, fibroids, endometriosis, weight gain, and even long-term hormone-related risk.From gut dysbiosis and beta-glucuronidase activity to detox pathways and inflammatory signaling, this episode connects the dots between your microbiome and your menstrual cycle.You’ll learn:✔️ What the estrobolome actually is — and how it regulates estrogen✔️ How gut bacteria influence PMS, acne, heavy periods, and mood swings✔️ The connection between antibiotics, birth control, and hormone imbalance✔️ Why constipation and poor detox pathways worsen estrogen recirculation✔️ How inflammation, stress, and liver function impact estrogen metabolism✔️ A functional medicine approach to restoring hormone balance from the gut upIf you’ve tried hormone supplements, topical treatments, or restrictive diets without real improvement — this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening inside your body.👇 Have questions about PMS, estrogen dominance, or gut health?

Ever feel like you’re hearing about peptides everywhere — for fat loss, muscle growth, anti-aging, brain health, gut repair — but no one is actually explaining what they are or how they work? 🤔In this episode of The Med Matrix Method, functional medicine provider Dr. Colin Renaud, DC, DNM, MS, PA-C, FAAMFM, ABAAHP breaks down one of the most powerful (and misunderstood) tools in regenerative and longevity medicine: peptides.From BPC-157 and thymosin peptides to GLP-1 analogs and growth hormone secretagogues… what if peptides aren’t just another trend — but targeted signaling molecules that can help restore communication at the cellular level? 🔬✨💡 Discover how peptides influence healing, metabolism, inflammation, mitochondrial function, immune modulation, and tissue repair — and why precision and proper oversight matter.You’ll learn:✔️ What peptides actually are (and how they differ from hormones or steroids)✔️ The most common peptides used for fat loss, injury recovery, gut repair, and cognitive support✔️ How peptides work as cellular messengers to optimize function✔️ Potential risks, side effects, and why sourcing matters✔️ Who is (and isn’t) a good candidate for peptide therapy✔️ The functional medicine approach to using peptides safely and strategicallyIf you’ve been curious about peptides but overwhelmed by conflicting information online, this episode cuts through the noise and gives you a science-backed, root-cause perspective.👇 Have questions about peptides or regenerative medicine?
