What if healing didn't start with supplements, but with a shift in thought?

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Scott Sherr sits down with renegade nurse and educator Karen DiMarco to explore how psychosocial stress, identity, and hypervigilance can create—or dissolve—chronic illness. Karen shares her personal health journey, the groundbreaking chronic fatigue study she co-led, and why our thoughts may be the most overlooked variable in healing.

Join us as we delve into:

The story behind Karen's recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome
Her radical 8-week study that helped patients recover—without meds or supplements
The connection between thought, oxidative stress, and the cell danger response
How metaphors and insight can rewire the brain and physiology

This episode is for you if:

You've struggled with chronic illness and feel stuck
You're curious about the mind-body connection in healing
You're a health professional working with complex, hard-to-treat patients
You want to learn how to "collapse the gap" between who you are and who you think you should be
