Chronic illness is rarely a single-system problem.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

When chronic illness involves overlapping metabolic, inflammatory, immune, and hormonal changes, clinical priorities become difficult to separate. Dr. John B. Abell introduces a 12-step framework for understanding these connections and organizing clinical reasoning.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
