In Part 2 of this vital series, Dr. Brad Montagne uncovers the lesser-known reasons why chronic illness often spirals—despite treatment. If your health is deteriorating and you’ve been told “your labs look normal,” this episode explains why your immune system may be overwhelmed by toxicity, microbial load, and systemic dysfunction that conventional medicine overlooks.

From gut dysfunction and candida to toxins hiding in your daily routine, Dr. Brad breaks down the hidden mechanisms keeping your body in survival mode—and what has to change to actually heal.
