In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nancy Klimas, the Director of the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine at Nova Southeastern University, and Cort Johnson, founder of Health Rising.

 

Dr. Klimas shares insights on how early outbreaks shaped the study of ME/CFS, while Cort discusses the role of advocacy and research in bringing these conditions to light. Together, they emphasize the need for effective self-advocacy and the critical role of knowledgeable healthcare providers in managing these complex illnesses.
