Episode Summary
Stealth and hidden infections are largely one of the most undiagnosed root causes of disease in our country, yet so few people talk about it. Dr. Jessica Peatross, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, left the mainstream medical system and embarked on a journey of natural healing where she discovered the true root cause of many common ailments. Stealth and hidden infections can leave people confused and without hope because of traditional medicines inaccurate testing, and Dr. Jess is determined to fix that. By sharing knowledge around the symptoms, triggers, and co-connection between infections, Dr. Jess hopes to enlighten others around their diseases.
If you feel as though you are fighting an uphill battle with your body, constantly battling fatigue, brain fog, joint pain or visual problems, a stealth disease or infection may be the culprit. Dr. Jess explains the difference between conditions such as lime disease, mycotoxin illness, and Epstein-Barr, what you should be directly testing for if you suspect you may have a stealth disease, ways that you can heal or prevent a stealth disease from taking hold, and much more.
A toxic environment, heavy metal exposure or even emotional trauma could be co-connected to a stealth infection and dismantling your immune system one step at a time. By tackling the role of hidden disease in your hormone health, stress levels, and overall wellbeing, you can gain real solutions to get to the core root of your disease and leverage Dr. Jess’s solutions at your fingertips.
