I've started viewing MCAS less as a standalone diagnosis and more as "immune derangement syndrome"—the cumulative result of multiple immune hits over time. This reframe changes treatment completely. We address the whole picture, not just one piece.

Before dosing LDN, I assess "endorphin reserve." How long sick? Restorative sleep? Energy levels? Patients with depleted reserves need different protocols—sometimes micrograms, not milligrams. Cookie-cutter medicine doesn't heal complex patients.

The uncomfortable truth about LDN: roughly 1/3 of patients don't respond to standard protocols. After 20+ years of prescribing it, I've learned that acknowledging this isn't pessimism—it's the foundation for better outcomes. Here is the guide to the optimal dose. tinyurl.com/2avwfmc3
Finding Your LDN Sweet Spot: A Simple Guide to Optimal Dosing
Some of them aren't actually non-responders—they're people who started at a dose that was wrong for their body. They got side effects, felt worse, and gave up before LDN ever had a chance to work.

Here's how I use AI: I don't just ask questions—I train it. I share my clinical philosophy, my approach, my preferences. Over time, it becomes like a fellow who knows how I think. The investment upfront pays dividends later.

Most of my AI productivity comes from three things: 1) Better prompts (be specific), 2) Iterating on outputs (first draft isn't final), 3) Knowing which tool fits which task. Master these basics before chasing fancy features.

I trained under Dr. Andrew Weil at Arizona. The most important lesson? Medicine isn't either/or. It's both/and. Conventional care saves lives. Integrative care optimizes them. The best outcomes happen when we stop fighting about which side is right and start asking what this patient needs.

I only accept 2 new patients per month. Not to be exclusive—to be effective. Complex chronic illness requires time I can't give if I'm overextended.

Burned out physician → 99-patient integrative practice. 3 days employer, 4 days mine. Medical acupuncture. Integrative oncology. Whole-person care.
I offer 12-month mentorship for docs ready to make this leap. No expensive certs—just a guide.
DM me if you're ready.

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." The quote is from William Ernest Henley's poem Invictus, written in 1875.
Henley wrote it while recovering from tuberculosis, which led to the amputation of one of his legs.

High CRP levels predict sudden cardiac death — even in healthy people.
The Physician's Health Study: highest CRP = nearly 3X higher risk.
<1 mg/L = low risk
1-3 mg/L = moderate
>3 mg/L = higher
Ask your doctor about hs-CRP testing. It's cheap & modifiable.

In 1999, I left conventional medicine for integrative medicine & acupuncture. Now it's evolved—functional medicine, lifestyle medicine, biohacks like LDN. Still seeing patients, but also building sustainable models outside medicine.

The weight loss supplement industry is worth $33 billion.
What does that buy you? Mostly products that haven't been tested, promises without evidence, and occasionally something dangerous.

I view MCAS as an immune derangement syndrome.
Not one cause. Multiple hits: autoimmunity, mold, Lyme, Long COVID—stacked until the system tips.
Treatment has to address ALL the contributing factors. Not just stabilize mast cells.

Even with my training in integrative and functional medicine, it's easy to miss my own symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder. Spent time outdoors today and now have my artificial sun lights (x2) providing 20,000 lumens. What do others do? Oh - also panoramic sunroof is now wide open.

I am relatively new to X and Threads, and to Blue Sky. I feel X is overwhelming and chaos-driven. Threads feel micromanaged with censorship. Would people have helpful advice on how to navigate Blue Sky?

Grateful for the trust and opportunity to mentor a fellow physician in integrative medicine. Paying forward the guidance I received during my own journey—from my fellowship with Dr. Weil.
If you're a physician on this path, I'd love to hear where you are in this journey.

First post. After two decades of prescribing low-dose naltrexone, I've learned "the dose makes the medicine." Some need micrograms. Some need 25mg+. The art is figuring out who needs what. —integrative & functional medicine MD, LDN expert. Who else is exploring LDN?
