If you look at the current landscape of chronic illness—the explosion of autoimmune disorders, the debilitating fatigue of long-haul syndromes, the cognitive fog of neuroinflammation, and the systemic drain of environmental toxicities like mold—you see a million different symptoms. You see countless diagnoses, a dizzying array of pharmaceutical interventions, and a profound level of patient frustration. But if you zoom out—if you look past the specific labels of Lyme, Crohn’s, or CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome)—you begin to see a unifying theme. A singular, underlying crisis that connects them all.

They are all crises of energy.
