Dr. Eboni Cornish, Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and President-Elect of ILADS, breaks down why Lyme disease is just the beginning of the story. As someone who specializes in neuroinflammation caused by chronic infections, she explains how tick-borne diseases, parasites, and mold toxicity don't work alone. They create an inflammatory cascade that crosses the blood-brain barrier, triggers autoimmune responses, and makes recovery from conditions like breast implant illness exponentially harder. From her work analyzing brain scans showing infection-driven inflammation to her clinical insights on why gut stability determines immune stability, Dr. Cornish provides a masterclass in understanding complex chronic illness. You'll learn why standard testing misses most infections, how genetics determine your susceptibility to toxin accumulation, and why the real question isn't IF you have parasites but how much they're contributing to your inflammatory burden.

IN THIS EPISODE WE’LL:

• 
  

  Discover why Lyme disease is actually three infections (Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesiosis) that create different symptoms and require clinical diagnosis beyond lab testing.

  
  


• 
  

  Uncover the connection between HLA genetics and your ability to clear mold toxins, tick-borne diseases, and why some family members get devastatingly sick while others stay healthy in the same environment.

  
  


• 
  

  Break through the parasite denial that keeps you sick, including why testing is unreliable and how parasites create biofilms with other pathogens to overwhelm your immune system.

  
  


• 
  

  Transform your understanding of the gut-brain axis and why stabilizing your microbiome isn't optional if you're dealing with neuropsychiatric symptoms, chronic inflammation, or breast implant illness.

  
  


• 
  

  Learn practical nutrition strategies that meet patients where they are, from working with picky eaters to creating sustainable anti-inflammatory habits without the stress of restriction-based diets.
