What Your Labs Aren't Telling You — Ozone Therapy, Root Cause Medicine & Why Everything Is Connected

May 5, 2026

Dr. Heather Volpe trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, spent 15 years in traditional allergy and immunology, and kept seeing the same thing: patients who looked fine on paper but weren't getting better.


That pattern led her to found Synergy O3 in Encinitas, where she now practices integrative medicine with a focus on ozone dialysis therapy and the upstream role of inflammation in chronic disease.In this episode, she joins Dr. Georgine Nanos to challenge the clean line between traditional and alternative medicine — and make a case for why that line was never as useful as we thought.In this conversation:



What ozone dialysis is and why it's safer than standard 10-pass ozone therapy

The 80% reduction in inflammatory markers Dr. Volpe consistently sees post-treatment

The blood clot patient told his clot would never dissolve — and what happened four months later

Why cold plunges may be the wrong tool for perimenopausal women

How inflammation connects cholesterol, cardiac risk, autoimmune disease, and cancer

Why curiosity is disappearing from medicine — and what's lost when it goes
