About this episode

This episode continues the conversation with Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, exploring biochemical patterns in neurodegenerative diseases and the role of biomarkers in identifying prodromes.

🎧 Episode Summary This episode continues the conversation with Dayan Goodenowe, PhD, exploring the shared biochemical patterns underlying conditions such as autism, PANS/PANDAS, chronic Lyme, mold illness, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, and ALS. The discussion examines how environmental stressors, metabolic and lipid dysfunction, and oxidative stress contribute to loss of resilience and disease progression. Dr. Goodenowe also highlights the role of biomarkers, advanced testing, and targeted support—including plasmalogens and methylation—in identifying prodromes and restoring function across complex chronic conditions. 🧭 In This Episode - Similarities and differences across autism, PANS/PANDAS, chronic Lyme, mold illness, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and ALS - Prodromes as loss of resilience and early deviation from health - Aging as entropy and biochemical insufficiency rather than a programmed disease process - Metabolic sufficiency, mitochondrial function, and lipid membrane integrity as core systems in adaptation - Oxidative stress, inflammatory markers, and reserve capacity in chronic illness - ProdromeScan and BioMetrix Bioscan differences…
