Episode Synopsis

Steven E. Phillips, MD is a Yale-trained, expert on zoonotic infections and coauthor of the book CHRONIC. He specializes in treating medicine's most complex cases, which include Lyme & other vector-borne disease and long COVID. Additionally, he has served as an expert for the states of CT, NY, RI, and VT, providing testimony during their respective public hearings, which resulted in changes to existing healthcare laws. Dr. Phillips has been a longstanding public face of the Lyme pandemic. He is currently spearheading a drug development effort to bring public a durable, effective treatment for some of these infections, which will hopefully change how we treat a range of rheumatologic and neurologic illnesses.
