She is the author of Breaking Through Chronic Illness and founder of Restorative Health Clinic, where she provides personalized, root cause care. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT Dr. Melanie’s recovery from Lyme disease and why cell membrane therapy became central to healing complex chronic illness. How damaged cell membranes drive conditions like Lyme, mold illness, MCAS, POTS, chronic fatigue, and autoimmunity. The science of membrane repair, including phospholipids and oxidative stress, and why membrane integrity is foundational for recovery. The cell danger response and why inflammation can persist even after infections are treated. The link between mitochondrial dysfunction, fatigue, and why mitochondria cannot recover until membranes are restored. Nervous system and limbic dysregulation in chronic illness and the importance of signaling safety to the body. Environmental toxins, neurological symptoms, and lifestyle strategies that support membrane repair and long term resilience. EPISODE RESOURCES BodyBio Supports cell membranes and mitochondria.
