Dr. Chelsea Azarcon is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor in Northern California who works with Lyme, mold illness and mast cell activation, and who has been in remission from several of those conditions herself. This conversation covers why women with chronic illness can do everything right and still not lose weight, the landmark study showing that something from decades ago is still shaping your biology, and why treating the mold or the Lyme is only the first step, not the cure.
Dr. Chelsea's health takes, in order:
Take 1: "Women with chronic illness are working 18 times harder to lose weight"
Healthy mitochondria make 36 energy molecules per glucose. Inflamed ones make two.
Take 2: "The detox nobody is talking about is toxic relationships and trauma"
17,000 people studied. Nearly 70% carried at least one adverse childhood experience.
Take 3: "I don't believe our bodies have everything they need to heal"
Not in this environment. Sometimes the foundations aren't a strong enough signal.
Take 4: "Treating your Lyme or your mold is not going to get you better"
That stops the gas leak. The damage the fire did still has to be repaired.
The number one predictor of longevity isn't your diet or your exercise. It's the strength of your relationships.
