This week on the Less Stressed Life Podcast, I am joined by Jessica Peatross.  Dr. Jess Peatross on the podcast. Jess is an outspoken medical doctor online that talks all about stealth infections with grace.  People seem very interested in parasites. There was a time one of my parasite-themed podcasts had the most downloads for the year. I find them to be more annoying than interesting these days but Dr. Jess has a way with words and held my attention thoroughly.KEY TAKEAWAYS: Types of foreign invaders from worms to flukes to chagas in the bloodstream from insect bitesWorm life cycles and how they upregulate things like itching Why worms are more active during the full moonHow tricky parasite are to kill and how they can recur for monthsWhy we get sick in the first placeABOUT GUEST:Dr Jess is a previously board-certified internal medicine hospitalist who left her position as a hospital medical doctor to chase root cause answers for her patients.
