Episode 17 - Neural Therapy Meets Regenerative Medicine: Sharon Krahn, FNP on Scars, Pelvic Work, Mold & Exosomes

In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Anne Hill and Dr. Ilana Gurevich sit down with Sharon Krahn, FNP—a family nurse practitioner and traditional naturopath in Dallas, Texas—who has spent over two decades building an integrative practice for patients with complex, chronic illness. Sharon shares her “windy road” into medicine, beginning with recurrent miscarriages and autoimmune disease, and how that personal experience shaped her clinical focus today. We dive into how she weaves neural therapy into real-world practice—especially for C-section and surgical scars, pelvic floor patterns, fertility support, chronic pain, and the emotional releases that can follow certain injections (including the IRR). We also explore her clinical approach to environmental illness and mold, including how she provokes toxin testing with glutathione + sauna, and why “what doesn’t come out” can sometimes be the most important clue. Finally, Sharon breaks down what exosomes are, how she uses them in practice (including scalp protocols and intranasal applications), and where she sees regenerative tools like peptides and NK-cell exosomes fitting into the future of medicine. If you love practical clinical pearls, creative problem-solving, and honest conversations about treating “stuck” cases—this one’s for you.

Episode 15 - The interference field discussions

In this episode of The Point of Medicine, Dr. Ilana Gurevich and Dr. Anne Hill step back to explore one of the most foundational—and often misunderstood—concepts in neural therapy: interference fields. Interference fields are at the heart of how neural therapy works, yet many clinicians use the term without fully unpacking what it means or how profoundly it can influence long-term health outcomes. In this conversation, Drs. Gurevich and Hill break down the concept in clear, practical terms, drawing from classic neural therapy teachings, modern nervous system theory, and years of hands-on clinical experience. Together, they discuss how scars, chronic infections, emotional trauma, surgeries, vaccines, and even seemingly “resolved” injuries can disrupt autonomic nervous system signaling—and how these disruptions can present as chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent infections, or a persistent sense that “something isn’t right.” Through powerful patient stories and teaching moments from their neural therapy trainings, they explore: * What interference fields are and how they form * How the nervous system “locks down” to protect itself * The relationship between trauma, infection, the microbiome, and autonomic regulation * Why symptoms sometimes temporarily resurface after treatment * How careful history-taking often reveals what no lab test can Whether you’re a clinician learning neural therapy, a seasoned practitioner refining your lens, or a patient curious about why certain symptoms won’t resolve, this episode offers a deep, grounded look at how restoring nervous system communication can unlock healing.
