Heavy metals, toxic burden, and nervous system dysfunction may be driving symptoms that standard testing never fully explains.
Kyle Hulbert joins me to discuss the therapies his clinics use most often for people dealing with chronic fatigue, Long COVID, Lyme disease, brain fog, and other complex chronic conditions. We talk about his recovery from chronic mercury toxicity, why heavy metals remain a major focus in his work, and how EBOO, chelation, Procaine IVs, and stellate ganglion blockade fit into a root-cause approach. We also discuss treatment timelines, affordability, and why mindset can influence recovery alongside physical therapies.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How chronic mercury toxicity contributed to Kyle's own health collapse and recovery
Why EBOO and chelation are the most commonly prescribed therapies at his clinics
What EBOO is and how it is designed to support detoxification, oxygenation, and immune regulation
How stellate ganglion blockade and Procaine IVs are used to calm an overactive fight-or-flight response
How treatment plans are personalized based on toxic burden, infections, and other root causes
Guest: Kyle Hulbert is the CEO and co-founder of Longevity Centers of America, a researcher, doctoral candidate, wellness expert, and co-host of the Longevity Unlocked podcast.

Lyme disease spent 13 years dismantling Tanya Hoebel's life before she found her way back, and the six steps she used to recover are not what most people expect.
Most providers never look past the surface. Tanya learned that the hard way, and what finally worked was a framework most people in the chronic illness community never get shown.
In this conversation, she walks through the six layers she believes have to be addressed to actually recover: killing pathogens, opening detox pathways, clearing mold and heavy metals, retraining the nervous system, releasing blocked traumas, and doing the emotional work most protocols never mention. If Lyme keeps coming up in your story alongside Long COVID or chronic fatigue, this episode is worth your time.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why standard Lyme tests often come back negative even when Lyme is present
The 6 layers Tanya identifies as non-negotiable for recovery, including the two most people skip
Why detoxification may matter more than killing pathogens, and what happens when you skip it
How physical and emotional trauma can reactivate dormant Lyme or trigger co-infections
Free and low-cost nervous system tools that work even when you are bedridden
Why unresolved blocked traumas and emotional grief can stall recovery even after the physical work is done
Guest: Tanya Hoebel is the host of the podcast Lyme and Beyond with Tanya, where lived experience meets compassion, hope, and empowerment for those navigating Lyme disease and chronic illness. After a 13-year journey from undiagnosed to bedridden to thriving, Tanya turned her personal struggles into a mission to help others feel less alone and more confident in being their own advocates.
Through her podcast and advocacy work, Tanya is passionate about bringing hope, education, and support to the chronic illness community while encouraging others to take charge of their health journey with confidence and resilience.

This episode also explains why so many people address symptoms one at a time and still plateau, and what the layer underneath the 13 mechanisms actually is.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why the spike protein does not always leave when the infection clears
How microclots block oxygen delivery even when labs look completely normal
