In This Episode:
For years, we’ve been told that inflammation is the root of chronic illness. But what if it’s just the aftermath of something far more insidious?
In this podcast episode, I interview Dr Bill Rawls from RawlsMD.com, and we discuss the role of reactivated microbes, cellular health, lyme, and autoimmunity.
In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Bill Rawls unveils the real drivers of chronic disease—reactivated microbes and cellular stress.
Dormant Infections Are Waking Up
Tick bites. Childhood colds. Every day exposure.
Many microbes enter our bodies silently and lie dormant for years, waiting for the perfect storm of stress, poor sleep, and toxins to weaken our cells. When they reactivate, they hijack your tissues and push your immune system into overdrive.
How Herbs Can Rebuild Your Health—Cell by Cell
Forget what you thought you knew about herbal medicine. Dr. Rawls shares how specific adaptogenic herbs don’t just fight pathogens—they also reduce inflammation, support detoxification, and restore cellular resilience. If you’re battling autoimmune issues, Lyme, or long COVID, this is the protocol you didn’t know you needed.
