   Toxic By Design: How Bad Builds Create Toxic Homes - and How to Fight Back

   Toxic By Design: How Bad Builds Create Toxic Homes—and How to Fight Back On this episode of The Made to Heal Show, Dr. Kasey Holland sits down with trial attorney Kristina Baehr, founder of Just Well Law, to uncover how construction defects, hidden water damage, and building failures can turn seemingly beautiful—and even brand-new—homes into toxic environments. Kristina shares her family's experience after moving into a relatively new, airtight, spray-foam home where construction defects—including poor flashing, hidden water intrusion, and improper HVAC dehumidification—contributed to serious health problems. She discusses why the problem was initially missed, what ultimately revealed the issues inside their home, and how the experience transformed the direction of her legal career. After winning a $3.8 million trial verdict against an HVAC company and reaching settlements with other parties, Kristina began helping other families affected by toxic exposures. In this conversation, she and Dr. Kasey explore the intersection of mold, modern construction, health, and legal accountability. Kristina explains what homeowners and renters should know when they suspect a building is making them sick, including the importance of independent assessments, documentation, photographs, appropriate testing, and preserving evidence. She also discusses her firm's work involving renters, dormitories, military housing, contaminated water, and other environmental exposures—and why accountability may ultimately help create safer buildings and healthier communities.

   Inside the Brain: SPECT Scans, Hormones, and the Path to NeuroLongevity with Dr. Eboni Cornish

   Guest: Dr. Eboni Cornish, MD — Physician, educator, and thought leader in brain health and longevity. Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics (Washington, DC), creator of the NeuroLongevity Framework, and President of the Board of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). Episode Summary Dr. Kasey Holland sits down with Dr. Eboni Cornish to explore the brain-first approach to chronic illness, longevity, and mental health. Dr. Cornish shares her journey from traditional family medicine to functional medicine and brain imaging, explaining how SPECT scans reveal root causes that standard MRIs miss. Key Topics Discussed The NeuroLongevity Framework — addressing neuroinflammation, chronic infections, hormones, environmental toxicity, gut health, and nervous system regulation SPECT scan imaging vs. MRI — how functional brain imaging shows blood flow and activity (not just structure), revealing inflammation, trauma patterns, and limbic system dysfunction The limbic system & trauma — why a "locked" limbic system can prevent healing even when other treatments are correct, and tools like biofeedback, neurofeedback, and vagus nerve stimulation Hormones and brain health — the critical role of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol in protecting the brain, especially for women as they age Chronic infections (Lyme, mold, EBV) — why treating the infection alone isn't enough; the brain damage and inflammatory cascade left behind must also be addressed Gut-brain-thyroid connection — how gluten sensitivity and gut inflammation can trigger autoimmune thyroid issues The power of gratitude and faith — Dr. Cornish's daily practice and final takeaway message for listeners Memorable Quote "Dementia is reversible. Diabetes is reversible. Brain inflammation is reversible." — Dr. Eboni Cornish Connect with Dr. Eboni Cornish Website: dreboniecornish.com Instagram: @dr.ebonicornish Amen Clinics, Washington, DC (accepting new patients, telehealth available) Connect with ILADS International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society — find Lyme-literate physicians in your area

   From Misdiagnosis to Mission: Better Lyme Testing with Nicole Bell

   In this episode, Dr. Kasey Holland sits down with Nicole Bell — CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics, MIT-trained engineer, and author of the bestselling memoir What Lurks in the Woods — to discuss why current Lyme disease testing is failing patients, what direct detection testing means for the future of diagnosis, and how Nicole turned her family's devastating experience into a mission to change the standard of care for tick-borne illness. About Nicole Bell Nicole Bell is the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of What Lurks in the Woods, a raw and powerful memoir detailing her family's journey with undiagnosed tick-borne illness. She holds degrees from MIT and Duke University and has an extensive background in medical diagnostics and device development. After losing her husband Russ to complications from undiagnosed Lyme disease, Bartonella, and Babesia, Nicole dedicated her career to ensuring no family has to go through what hers did. What We Cover Nicole's personal story: how her husband went from misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's to finally receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis — 15 months too late Why standard antibody testing (Western blot) fails so many patients — and the science behind why The critical window: waiting just 30 days after a tick bite more than doubles your risk of developing chronic symptoms What "direct detection" testing means and why it's a game-changer for Lyme diagnosis Galaxy Diagnostics' urine antigen test for Borrelia and high-sensitivity blood-based tests for Bartonella and Babesia Why Lyme isn't just one infection — co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia require completely different treatments Digital PCR: how Galaxy's technology finds the "needle in a haystack" of low-abundance pathogens Provocation methods (sauna, exercise, herbal protocols) — do they improve test sensitivity? Why patients with brain fog shouldn't have to navigate complex testing decisions alone The future: Galaxy's path toward FDA clearance and making direct detection the new standard of care Key Takeaways Don't trust a negative Western blot alone. Antibody tests miss early infection, immune-suppressed patients, and chronic cases. Demand better. Time matters. The sooner tick-borne illness is detected and treated, the better the outcome. You know your body. If something feels wrong, keep digging — even when doctors dismiss you. Think beyond ticks. Bartonella can be transmitted by fleas and lice — pets can be a vector. These pathogens are thieves. They steal identities and lives. But with better tools, we can stop them.

   How Chronic Infections, Mold & Trauma Hijack Your Cells — with Dr. John Kim

   What does a pharmacist's heart attack at 33 have to do with mold, childhood trauma, and nervous system dysregulation? Everything. In this episode, Dr. Kasey Holland sits down with functional medicine pharmacist Dr. John Kim to explore the hidden layers beneath chronic illness — and why treating the symptom is never enough. In this episode: How Dr. Kim's near-fatal heart attack at 33 — caused by an 85% LAD blockage — led him to uncover a root-cause web of Bartonella, mold toxicity, heavy metals, and parasitic infections Why your nervous system's "familiarity bias" can block healing before it even starts — and the visualization technique Dr. Kim uses in the first 5 minutes of every patient call The cell danger response explained: what it is, how it gets triggered by infections, mold, EMF, and childhood trauma, and why it keeps patients stuck How phosphatidylcholine (IVPC) and lipid membrane replacement therapy helped Dr. Kim reclaim his brain, energy, and health The ENCORE Method — Dr. Kim's sequenced clinical framework: Environmental factors, Nervous system regulation, Cellular optimization, Organ support & detox, Rebalancing the microbiome, Enhancing resiliency Why childhood trauma, narcissistic parenting, and emotional neglect can trigger neuroinflammation as severe as growing up in a war zone The role of circadian biology, morning sunlight, and HeartMath breathing in resetting the body's danger response state Why "killing the thing" (mold, parasites, Lyme) is not where you start — and the hierarchical sequencing Dr. Kim uses in complex cases The "Humpty Dumpty Effect": why cellular instability builds silently until one trigger cracks everything open Key concepts mentioned: MCAS · Cell Danger Response (Dr. Robert Naviaux) · Lipid membrane replacement therapy · IVPC / phosphatidylcholine · Sodium phenylbutyrate · BodyBio · HeartMath · Bartonella · PTSD & childhood trauma · Circadian biology · Microglial priming · Biofilm protocol · ENCORE Method Find Dr. John Kim: 🌐 drjohnkim.com — free assessment tool, ENCORE Method details, and upcoming community mentorship Timestamps: 0:00 — Introduction 2:46 — Dr. Kim's heart attack, mold & Bartonella recovery story 15:42 — Nervous system, cell danger response & patient protocol 27:01 — The ENCORE Method framework 38:47 — Closing takeaways: healing is never linear

   When Sudden Behavior Changes Signal Infection: The PANS/PANDAS Connection with Dr. Lindsey Wells

   When Sudden Behavior Changes Signal Infection: The PANS/PANDAS Connection with Dr. Lindsey Wells Podcast: The Made to Heal Show with Dr. Kasey HollandGuest: Lindsey Wells, NDEpisode Topic: PANS & PANDAS, infection-triggered neuropsychiatric illness in children Episode 4: Understanding PANS/PANDAS in Children with Dr. Lindsey Wells Episode Description In this episode of The Made to Heal Show, Dr. Kasey Holland sits down with Dr. Lindsey Wells, a naturopathic physician specializing in pediatric integrative care for PANS/PANDAS, autism spectrum disorder, and vector-borne diseases. Dr. Wells shares her expertise on recognizing, diagnosing, and treating these often-misunderstood conditions that affect 1 in 150-200 children. Guest Bio Dr. Lindsey Wells, ND is a naturopathic physician located in Trumble, Connecticut, focusing her practice on pediatric integrative care for PANS/PANDAS, autism spectrum disorder, vector-borne disease, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. She is the immediate past president of the Connecticut Naturopathic Physician Association and a fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs. Dr. Wells frequently lectures on PANS, PANDAS, and ASD to both professional and parent organizations. Key Topics Covered What Are PANS & PANDAS? PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome): Triggered by various infections including mycoplasma, viruses, and bacteria PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus): Specifically triggered by strep infections Affects approximately 1 in 150-200 children—more common than most people think Red Flag Symptoms to Watch For Sudden, acute onset of OCD Abrupt anxiety and separation anxiety Tics Restrictive eating patterns Urinary urgency, frequency, or bedwetting Speech disfluency (stuttering, regression to baby talk) Changes in handwriting Diagnosis Approach Clinical diagnosis based on medical history and symptom presentation No single lab test confirms or rules out PANS/PANDAS Comprehensive testing includes: Strep antibodies Mycoplasma testing Vector-borne disease screening (Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia) Nutritional markers Inflammatory markers Cerebral folate deficiency antibodies The Three-Pronged Treatment Approach Symptom Support: Providing immediate relief for the child and family Antimicrobial Support: Addressing underlying infections with appropriate treatment Immunomodulatory Support: Reducing inflammation and supporting immune function Vector-Borne Disease Connection Bartonella: Primary indicator is rage and aggression Babesia: Presents with dysautonomia symptoms, air hunger, sound sensitivities Not currently included in PANS diagnostic criteria but critically important to test Strong overlap between vector-borne disease and neurodevelopmental disorders including autism When PANS/PANDAS Resolves Puberty: Hormonal changes can help with immune regulation Blood-brain barrier closure: Age 21 for females, age 24 for males Goal is to manage and decrease severity, frequency, and duration of flares until resolution Simple At-Home Test Ibuprofen trial: If symptoms improve with ibuprofen (10mg/kg, up to 600mg per dose), it indicates immune-mediated condition rather than primary behavioral issue Dietary & Lifestyle Interventions Focus on adding antimicrobial foods: garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, turmeric, onions Increase healthy oils: extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil Consider eliminating gluten and dairy if possible Watch for food cravings (may indicate sensitivity) Increase fiber and protein intake Ensure adequate vitamin D, A, zinc, iron, and ferritin levels Key Takeaways for Parents Trust your instincts—you know your child best Sudden behavioral changes warrant investigation Anxiety medication alone won't address underlying immune/infection issues Work with a provider who truly understands PANS/PANDAS Maintain the three-pronged approach even during maintenance phase Take care of y

    The Hidden Path to Healing: Brain Health, Infections, and Recovery

    The Made to Heal Show: The Hidden Path to Healing - Brain Health, Infections, and Recovery Episode Overview Join Dr. Kasey Holland as she sits down with Dr. Michelle Eisenmann, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist (DACNB), to explore the intricate world of brain health, traumatic brain injuries, and the often-overlooked connections between infections, toxins, and neurological recovery. This conversation dives deep into functional neurology, dysautonomia, and practical strategies anyone can implement to support their brain health. Guest: Dr. Michelle Eisenmann, DC, DACNBHost: Dr. Kasey HollandEpisode Length: 50 minutes About Dr. Michelle Eisenmann Dr. Michelle Eisenmann is a functional neurologist with a unique perspective shaped by personal experience. She holds a doctorate in chiropractic from Parker University, a master's degree in clinical neurology, and is board certified by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). She also has a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from the University of North Texas. Her clinical focus includes: Neuroplasticity Traumatic brain injury (TBI) Post-stroke rehabilitation Vestibular dysfunction Dysautonomia Movement disorders Dr. Eisenmann practices at Resiliency Brain Health in Hoppel, Texas (near DFW Airport) and offers online coaching through her Brain Charge program. She provides services in both English and Spanish. Key Topics Covered 1. Dr. Eisenmann's Journey into Functional Neurology (0:45 - 9:45) Dr. Eisenmann's path to functional neurology began with her family history. Her mother was a four-time cancer survivor who also lived with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a peripheral neuropathy that affected three of her four aunts. Growing up as both daughter and caretaker, Dr. Eisenmann witnessed firsthand the limitations of conventional medicine's "see you in six months" approach. The turning point came when she discovered functional neurology through an online case study of a hemiplegic boy (meaning half his body wasn't working) who returned to playing soccer after receiving non-invasive neurological therapies. This stood in stark contrast to the invasive treatments her mother had endured. Her personal connection to brain injuries deepened when she learned about her grandfather's traumatic brain injury from explosives during the Korean War, and when she realized she had suffered an undiagnosed concussion during her cheerleading years. Her bar for healthcare had been set so low—"if I don't have cancer, I'm good"—that she didn't recognize her own injury. 2. Redefining Traumatic Brain Injuries (10:37 - 16:50) One of Dr. Eisenmann's most important messages is removing the word "trauma" from traumatic brain injury. The word psychologically creates a barrier—we assume only dramatic accidents count as brain injuries. The reality is far different. Who can get a brain injury? Anyone. Examples include: Sports injuries Motor vehicle accidents Slipping in the shower Falls Blast exposures (veterans) Even seemingly minor impacts The critical question isn't "Did I have an injury?" but rather "How did my brain recover?" Brain recovery depends on multiple factors: Nutrition at time of injury Gender Stress levels during injury Overall brain resilience Pre-existing conditions A concussion is simply another term for mild traumatic brain injury. The spectrum includes mild, moderate, and severe TBIs. Just because an MRI or CT scan comes back clear doesn't mean someone is healed. These imaging tools show structural damage but miss functional impairments. Dr. Eisenmann advocates for treating brain health like dental health—regular check-ups and maintenance rather than waiting for a crisis. The brain is our operating system, one of the first things to develop and the last to go. It deserves consistent, proactive care. 3. Beyond Structural Damage: The Functional Impact (16:10 - 19:50) Traditional medicine focuses on ruling out life-threatening structural issues: bleeds, swelling, skull

    Understanding Opportunistic Infections

    📍 Welcome to the Made to Heal Show. I'm Dr.  Kasey  Holland, the host of Made To Heal. On this show, we discuss complex chronic illness, complex medical conditions, mystery symptoms, and their root causes. And ultimately your body's innate ability to overcome them. In this episode, we are going to be talking about opportunistic infections and diving into what exactly that means. In my medical background, I also spent a lot of time in research, and so one thing that I do a lot with patients is talk about their labs and understanding their. Blood work, and I still constantly get a lot of questions in this area. So in this episode, I wanna talk about immunology and what it means when we have opportunistic infections. If you know me at all, you know that a lot of my work has had to do with Epstein Barr virus and Epstein Barr virus reactivation, and that is considered an opportunistic infection. So I wanna unpack this, help you understand what's going on in your immune system, what it means when there's an opportunistic infection, what the labs are actually saying, what we have to decide based on your symptoms and presentation and what it looks like to overcome opportunistic infections. Okay? Opportunistic infection. What does that mean? An opportunistic infection means that. If your immune system is operating properly and all things are good that you really should not have a problem with that infection. Common opportunistic infections that we see are herpes family viruses, so think HSV one where you get the sore HSV two in the genital area. Epstein bar virus is also an opportunistic infection. The thing about opportunistic infections is that they are very common. So greater than 95% of people will have been exposed to Epstein-Barr virus by the time they are an adult. And I can say the same thing with HSV one and HSV two. Most everybody comes into contact with these viruses and then what happens when some people still have problems with them now? I just talked a lot about viruses. There's also opportunistic infections that are fungal, like candida and bacteria like mycoplasma, pneumonia, and this family of infections. A lot of times if you have an opportunistic viral infection, you might also be carrying a fungal or a bacterial, and it makes sense, right? Because. If you're susceptible to an opportunistic viral infection, whatever is going on in your body means that you might also be more susceptible to a bacterial or fungal. So let's talk about the labs and the testing for these opportunistic infections and what that looks like, because I think that labs. Are so easy to understand when it's the first time that you've had an infection and it's a, yes, it's positive. No it's not. But when we get into this realm of opportunistic infections and you have chronic fatigue for years, or these symptoms that just aren't going away, or maybe you have a herpes flare up multiple times per month, and it's, it's like, how do standard labs help with that? Here's the problem, so. In a conventional setting and that acute setting where it's the first time that you've been exposed to that virus, it's pretty simple. You're going to have a blood draw and the labs come back. And typically what you'll see if it's in that acute setting and the first time that you have had that infection, is your IGM antibodies will be positive. So M think of them as the mama antibodies. They're the first antibodies that respond to an infection. They typically stay positive acutely, and then they go negative. And your IgG antibodies are gonna pop up. And these antibodies can be confusing for labs because they can stay positive for a really long time. But that is part of how your. Immune system creates memory of what it's seen so that when it gets exposed to a virus, it can respond very quickly. You don't get sick, right? Um, or maybe you have, you know, a very, very short illness, but this memory is what makes our immune system strong. And so when. We look at
