Brain on Fire, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Reversing Disease with Dr. Gary Kaplan

Dr. Gary Kaplan is the founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine. He has authored two books, is a leading figure and pathfinder in the field of integrative medicine and is one of 19 physicians in the country to be board-certified in both Family Medicine and Pain Medicine.

He specializes in what he calls “the brain on fire”—the inflammation of the nervous system that can be an effect of some illnesses. These inflammations cause symptoms of pains and disorders, both physiological and psychological, that then get regularly misdiagnosed because of tests not looking at the bigger picture.

You’re in for a fantastic episode as Dr. Kaplan shares his insights on prioritizing a complete understanding of the mind and body to promote holistic healing. Tune in!
