Seventy-six percent of Americans are living with chronic illness. That statistic alone tells us we’re facing something much bigger than personal health struggles. In this conversation with Dr. Chris Turnpaugh, we explore what’s broken in our current medical model and why so many people with complex symptoms are being overlooked. Dr. Turnpaugh brings decades of experience in functional neurology and systems-based medicine, with a track record of uncovering root causes where others only treat symptoms.

We get into topics like mold toxicity, autoimmunity, long-haul infections, and the environmental factors that silently shape our health. Dr. Turnpaugh shares why symptom management isn't enough, and why taking ownership of your health journey is more important than ever. This is a grounded and eye-opening conversation that reconnects us to the deeper story our bodies are telling and gives us practical insight into how to finally move toward real healing.

Key Takeaways

Modern Medicine Misses the Roots – Most doctors are trained to treat symptoms, not to understand why those symptoms exist in the first place.

Our System Wasn't Built for Chronic Illness – More than 76% of Americans have a chronic disease, but our medical system was only trained to handle acute care.

The Body Is A System, Not A Set of Silos – True healing requires a whole-body lens; separating specialties by organ system breaks down in chronic illness.

You Must Be Your Own Advocate – In today’s world, taking responsibility for your health journey isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Ask Better Questions – Health starts with curiosity. “How did I get here?” and “How do I not end up here again?”

Environment Is Medicine – From mold to mindset, the environments we live in and the inputs we consume are silently shaping our biology every day.
