Summary
In this episode of Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill, Dr. Jill Carnahan explores the growing science behind brain inflammation and its connection to chronic illness with Dr. Eboni Cornish. Dr. Cornish, Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics and Treasurer of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, shares how underlying inflammation in the brain can drive symptoms often labeled as psychiatric, neurological, or behavioral conditions. Together, they discuss how mold toxicity, chronic infections, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins can disrupt brain health and lead to symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, depression, personality changes, and fatigue. This powerful conversation highlights the importance of identifying root causes of neuroinflammation and offers hope for individuals struggling with complex chronic conditions through advanced diagnostics, functional medicine strategies, and personalized care. 🔑 5 Key Discussions ① 🧠 The Inflamed Brain and Mental Health ⇨ Many conditions labeled as psychiatric—including anxiety, depression, and behavioral disorders—may actually be driven by underlying brain inflammation. ⇨ Neuroinflammation can affect mood, cognition, personality, and overall neurological function. ② 🦠 Infections That Trigger Brain Inflammation ⇨ Tick-borne infections such as Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella can contribute to chronic inflammation affecting the brain and nervous system. ⇨ Viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections may also disrupt neurological health. ③ 🧫 Mold Toxicity and Environmental Triggers ⇨ Mold exposure and environmental toxins can activate immune responses that lead to chronic neuroinflammation. ⇨ Patients may experience chemical sensitivities, mast cell activation, and neurological symptoms. ④ 🦠 T…
