Dr. Nafysa Parpia explains why a single infection rarely causes chronic Lyme and how addressing multiple root causes supports lasting recovery.

Dr. Nafysa Parpia explores why chronic Lyme disease is often far more complex than a single tick-borne infection. She discusses the interconnected roles of environmental toxins, immune dysfunction, chronic infections, nervous system regulation, trauma, gut health, and detoxification, while explaining why highly personalized treatment plans are often necessary for people with persistent, complex chronic illness.

Nafysa Parpia, ND has an independent practice at Gordon Medical Associates, specializing in the treatment of Lyme disease and other complex chronic illnesses such as autoimmunity, mold toxicity, fibromyalgia, environmental toxicity, and gastrointestinal disorders. Her patients with chronic Lyme Disease are typically those who either do not do well with antibiotics or prefer the biological medicine approach to treatment, including a combination of antibiotics and detoxification methods. Over the years treating these illnesses, she discovered the same methods used with essentially well people fostered increased vitality and slowing down of the aging process, leading her to include specialization in health optimization and regenerative medicine.
