How to Finally Get Answers When Chronic Illness Keeps Coming Back

from The Functional Edge with Dr. Julia Ward · host Julia Ward, MD

On this episode of The Functional Edge, I sit down with Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a licensed naturopathic physician and expert in chronic complex diseases like Lyme, other vector-borne illnesses, and Long COVID. Dr. Hinchey shares her holistic, root-cause approach to chronic illness—focusing on the underlying causes rather than just managing symptoms.We explore how she diagnoses and treats complex infections, including Lyme co-infections, her tiered treatment model, immune system rebuilding, gut restoration sequencing, and the role of limbic retraining for nervous system health. Dr. Hinchey also dives into the impact of COVID spike protein reactivation in patients with prior Lyme remission and strategies for healing.----Dr. Myriah Hinchey discusses functional medicine approaches to Lyme, Long COVID, vector-borne disease, immune system rebuilding, gut restoration, and chronic disease recovery.----Dr. Myriah Hinchey is a licensed naturopathic physician specializing in Lyme disease, chronic vector-borne illnesses, Long COVID, and pediatric special needs.
