LISTEN NOW: Dr. Gary Kaplan on Me&My Health Up Podcast

Dr. Gary was a recent guest on Me&My Health Up podcast with Anthony Archer. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the immune system’s role in chronic conditions and how to maintain a robust immune system!

EPISODE 168: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Immune System: A Deep Dive into Chronic Conditions with Dr. Gary Kaplan

  • Are you curious about how your immune system plays a role in chronic conditions?
  • Ever wondered why some people recover quickly from illnesses while others struggle with prolonged symptoms?

In this episode, Dr. Gary Kaplan sheds light on how infections can trigger your immune system, often leaving it in a rogue state that contributes to chronic illnesses. He  also discusses the role of inflammation in the brain or neuroinflammation, a common factor in chronic pain and depression.

Praise for Dr. Kaplan’s book – Why You Are Still Sick: How Infections Can Break Your Immune System & How You Can Recover

“Gary Kaplan is not only a pioneer in his field, he’s a badass who is changing the face of medicine. This book holds everything I wish I knew twenty years ago about autoimmunity. It’s an incredible resource for anyone with chronic pain and illness. It will bring hope and health to so many people.”
