#482: He Treated 13,000 Complex Patients. What He Found Could Change Chronic Disease Medicine Forever | Dr. Richard Horowitz

📍 Good news! My original Instagram is back! Please follow my original account at https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ and also my backup account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/.

Today, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr. Richard Horowitz, a board-certified internist, renowned Lyme disease specialist, and the author of Ending Chronic Illness—a book that’s become my new favorite reference guide for understanding the true roots of chronic disease. Dr. Richard Horowitz opens up about his journey from treating diabetes in upstate New York to becoming a medical detective in the heart of the country’s largest Lyme-endemic area, where standard medical training simply wasn’t enough. Patient by patient, he pieced together a radical new model for uncovering where inflammation really comes from—one that’s now transforming lives well beyond Lyme.
