The Point of Medicine

What happens when neural therapy, regenerative medicine, and fertility care intersect?In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Anne Hill and Dr. Ilana Gurevich sit down with naturopathic physician and fertility specialist Dr. Laura Clevenger for a fascinating conversation about innovative approaches to reproductive health.Dr. Clevenger shares how her background in research and complex chronic illness led her into fertility medicine and ultimately to a highly specialized focus on the uterus. The conversation dives into intrauterine platelet-rich plasma (PRP), including how PRP may support the endometrial environment in patients experiencing thin endometrial lining, uterine scarring, Asherman syndrome, and recurrent implantation challenges.They also explore an intriguing intersection between reproductive medicine and neural therapy: the use of procaine and lidocaine inside the uterus. Dr. Clevenger discusses what she has observed clinically, emerging research on local anesthetics and uterine contractility, and why lidocaine may have applications that extend well beyond short-term pain control.The conversation expands into endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, pelvic neural therapy, the Frankenhäuser pelvic plexus, C-section scars, and the importance of looking at the nervous system when treating reproductive and pelvic conditions.In This Episode:• What platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is and how intrauterine PRP is performed• PRP for thin endometrial lining, implantation challenges, and Asherman syndrome• A remarkable clinical case involving severe intrauterine scarring• Why Dr. Clevenger combines PRP with procaine• Lidocaine vs. procaine and their different effects on uterine contractility• The potential role of intrauterine lidocaine in dysmenorrhea and endometriosis• Pelvic neural therapy and the Frankenhäuser plexus• The emerging conversation around intrauterine ozone• Neural therapy for C-section scars and post-surgical healing• Why listening to patients continues to shape clinical innovationDr. Clevenger also joins us for a preview of what she’ll be teaching at Neural Therapy Level 3, including intrauterine PRP, intrauterine procaine, dosing, timing, and procedural considerations.The Point of Medicine is hosted by Dr. Anne Hill and Dr. Ilana Gurevich of Learn Neural Therapy, where we explore innovative approaches to the autonomic nervous system, fascia, injection therapies, and the clinicians pushing medicine forward.

In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Anne Hill and Dr. Ilana Gurevich sit down with Canadian naturopathic physician Dr. Bryan Rade, ND to explore the evolving landscape of complex chronic illness care and injection therapies. Dr. Rade shares his clinical approach to treating Lyme disease, co-infections, mold illness, MCAS, POTS, chronic pain, SIBO, neuroinflammation, and nervous system dysregulation — and how ozone therapy, neural therapy, prolotherapy, PRP, perineural injection therapy, LDI (Low Dose Immunotherapy), and brain mapping have become foundational tools in his practice.The conversation dives into:• Ozone injections vs IV ozone• Why some patients flare after PIT/perineural injections• Using procaine instead of dextrose in perineural therapy• Binder strategies for highly reactive patients• The overlap between chronic infections, trauma physiology, and nervous system dysfunction• Brain mapping and neurofeedback in chronic illness• LDI for Candida, Lyme, MCAS, PANDAS, and immune tolerance• The future of naturopathic medicine and injection therapies in CanadaThis episode is packed with clinical pearls, real-world experiences, and thoughtful discussion about treating the patients who don’t fit neatly into protocols. If you work with complex chronic illness — or live with it — this conversation offers both practical insight and a refreshing reminder that medicine is often equal parts science, creativity, and nervous system regulation.

In this episode, we sit down with Gillian Ehrlich, ARNP, to explore a new way of understanding complex chronic illness through the lens of neuroimmunology, functional medicine, and Ayurveda. We dive into why so many patients today feel “sensitive to everything,” unpacking the role of mast cell activation, environmental overload, and a constantly stimulated nervous system.Gillian shares how modern research is beginning to mirror principles that have existed in traditional medicine for thousands of years—shifting the focus from treating isolated symptoms to understanding the body as a dynamic, interconnected system. We also explore how therapies like ketamine can help regulate the nervous system and support patients dealing with chronic pain, hypersensitivity, and treatment-resistant conditions.In this episode, we cover:Why mast cell activation is becoming so common—and what’s driving itHow the “Pentad patient” (EDS, POTS, mast cell, autoimmunity, infection) shows up clinicallyThe connection between chronic illness, stress, and nervous system dysregulationHow environmental toxins, infections, and modern living overwhelm the immune systemWhere functional medicine and Ayurveda overlap—and where they differWhy the body is better understood as a system of information, not just structureHow ketamine works for pain, mood, and hypersensitive patientsPractical ways to think about complex, treatment-resistant casesThis conversation offers a grounded, clinically relevant framework for anyone working with or experiencing chronic illness - especially when the presentation feels complex, reactive, or difficult to treat.

In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Anne Hill and Dr. Ilana Gurevich sit down with Sharon Krahn, FNP—a family nurse practitioner and traditional naturopath in Dallas, Texas—who has spent over two decades building an integrative practice for patients with complex, chronic illness.Sharon shares her “windy road” into medicine, beginning with recurrent miscarriages and autoimmune disease, and how that personal experience shaped her clinical focus today. We dive into how she weaves neural therapy into real-world practice—especially for C-section and surgical scars, pelvic floor patterns, fertility support, chronic pain, and the emotional releases that can follow certain injections (including the IRR).We also explore her clinical approach to environmental illness and mold, including how she provokes toxin testing with glutathione + sauna, and why “what doesn’t come out” can sometimes be the most important clue. Finally, Sharon breaks down what exosomes are, how she uses them in practice (including scalp protocols and intranasal applications), and where she sees regenerative tools like peptides and NK-cell exosomes fitting into the future of medicine.If you love practical clinical pearls, creative problem-solving, and honest conversations about treating “stuck” cases—this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Ilana Gurevich and Dr. Anne Hill step back to explore one of the most foundational—and often misunderstood—concepts in neural therapy: interference fields.Interference fields are at the heart of how neural therapy works, yet many clinicians use the term without fully unpacking what it means or how profoundly it can influence long-term health outcomes. In this conversation, Drs. Gurevich and Hill break down the concept in clear, practical terms, drawing from classic neural therapy teachings, modern nervous system theory, and years of hands-on clinical experience.Together, they discuss how scars, chronic infections, emotional trauma, surgeries, vaccines, and even seemingly “resolved” injuries can disrupt autonomic nervous system signaling—and how these disruptions can present as chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent infections, or a persistent sense that “something isn’t right.”Through powerful patient stories and teaching moments from their neural therapy trainings, they explore:What interference fields are and how they formHow the nervous system “locks down” to protect itselfThe relationship between trauma, infection, the microbiome, and autonomic regulationWhy symptoms sometimes temporarily resurface after treatmentHow careful history-taking often reveals what no lab test canWhether you’re a clinician learning neural therapy, a seasoned practitioner refining your lens, or a patient curious about why certain symptoms won’t resolve, this episode offers a deep, grounded look at how restoring nervous system communication can unlock healing.
