Nicotine Patches, Fragrance Toxicity & Long COVID: Heather Gordon's Healing Journey

In this eye-opening episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer speaks with Heather Gordon about her unconventional path to healing after years of unexplained symptoms. Heather shares how concerns around breast implant illness led her to uncover deeper root causes—including fragrance toxicity, long COVID, nervous system dysregulation, and viral reactivation—and how the nicotine patch protocol became a surprising turning point in her recovery. Together, they explore why many women are misdiagnosed in midlife, the hidden health risks of synthetic fragrances, the role of circadian rhythm and light exposure, and why true wellness often requires questioning mainstream advice. This candid conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a new lens on women's health, healing, and personal empowerment.     WEBSITE: https://projectgoods.com     INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/prettysickheather/     FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/prettysickheather/     EPISODE SPONSOR:  https://www.davidsburgers.com/     EPISODE SPONSOR:  https://marlsgate.com     LISA'S LINKS:     Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Website:  lisafischersaid.com     For more information on group intermittent fasting  coaching with Lisa, email [email protected]     For more information on one-on-one or group health coaching with Lisa, email [email protected]     Podcast produced by clantoncreative.com     🔑 Keywords: Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Heather Gordon, nicotine patch protocol, long COVID recovery, fragrance toxicity, fragrance free living, breast implant illness, BII awareness, functional medicine, nervous system regulation, mast cell activation, Epstein Barr virus, menopause health, perimenopause symptoms, circadian biology, blue light exposure, hormone balance, progesterone therapy, ivermectin discussion, holistic healing, women's health podcast, wellness podcast episode, Project Goods fragrance free products, chemical sensitivity, endocrine disruptors, clean beauty myths, health optimization for women
