On this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with osteopathic physician Dr. Tom Moorcroft, D.O., to explore chronic infections, tick-borne diseases (like Lyme and Babesiosis), and environmentally acquired illnesses.
Dr. Moorcroft shares his personal journey from a 13.5-year battle with undiagnosed Lyme disease and Babesiosis to becoming a specialist in complex chronic illnesses. He explains his philosophy of combining osteopathic principles, integrative care, lifestyle approaches, and mindset strategies to catalyze the body’s innate ability to heal.
You’ll learn why chronic infections are increasing, how infections and toxins create overlapping cycles of autoimmunity and inflammation, and practical, actionable strategies—including nervous system regulation, coherent breathing, and somatic practices—to support recovery and resilience.
