Episode Description
Join Dr. Dean Mitchell on The Smartest Doctor In The Room as he sits down with chronic Lyme expert Dr. Richard Horowitz to explore why Lyme disease can be so difficult to diagnose and treat. Dr. Horowitz shares the history of Lyme disease, explains why standard antibiotic treatments often fall short, and breaks down the science behind biofilms, persistent infections, and chronic inflammation.
The conversation addresses the controversy around Lyme testing, why blood work alone can miss the diagnosis, and how Lyme is ultimately a clinical diagnosis. Dr. Horowitz also introduces his MSIDS model, a comprehensive framework that examines multiple drivers of chronic illness including coinfections, immune dysfunction, gut health, and environmental factors.
This episode offers clarity, insight, and hope for anyone struggling with chronic Lyme disease, post treatment Lyme disease, or complex chronic conditions that do not respond to conventional care.
