Cyrex Laboratories

This Father's Day, we recognize fathers living with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions.

We also honor the sons and daughters who have stepped into a new role—not just as children, but as caregivers.

The ones helping with appointments, medications, daily routines, difficult conversations, and moments of uncertainty.

The ones returning the same love, patience, and care they once received.

Caregiving is one of the deepest expressions of family.

Today, we honor the fathers who shaped us and the caregivers who continue to stand beside them.

💙

A great weekend at IFM AIC 2026 in San Diego connecting with practitioners, partners, and leaders who are helping shape the future of personalized care.
 
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Cyrex booth and explored new ways to bring deeper immune-informed testing into practice.
 
Events like IFM AIC remind us of the power of collaboration, curiosity, and continued learning in advancing patient care.
 
Until next time, San Diego.
 

What if drugs like Mounjaro are helping autoimmune patients for reasons that have nothing to do with weight loss?

Some researchers and clinicians are starting to question whether GLP-1 medications are doing something much bigger beneath the surface by directly influencing inflammation and immune activity itself.

The overlap between autoimmunity, fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, hormone symptoms, and chronic inflammation may be far more connected than we’ve been taught.

In this new article, Dr. Elroy Vojdani breaks down the emerging science, the patient patterns showing up in practice, and why this could reshape how medicine approaches chronic disease over the next decade.

Read the full piece on his Substack, The Inflamed Generation, here- https://theinflamedgeneration.substack.com/p/im-prescribing-mounjaro-as-an-autoimmune?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=6800428&post_id=196718968&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=70hbee&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

When a patient comes back reactive to everything, it’s easy to default to elimination. But that’s not always the right move.

Polyreactivity is one of the most misunderstood patterns in immune testing. It doesn’t mean the results are wrong—it means the immune system may not be behaving with normal specificity.

And that changes how you interpret everything. This is where testing shifts from “what’s positive” to “what pattern am I seeing?” Because the real question isn’t just what the immune system is reacting to—it’s why it’s reacting that way in the first place.

📢 Less than one week to go.

Most testing conversations fall flat not because the data isn’t valuable, but because patients don’t understand why it matters to them. This session flips that.

Dr. Peter Kan will be walking through how to actually use BiomeBurden™ Complete in practice to drive clarity, trust, and follow-through—so patients stop hesitating and start committing to care.

What you’ll walk away with:
• A smarter way to present testing that increases patient buy-in without “selling”
• How to simplify complex immune concepts into language patients actually understand
• A 4-layer framework to deliver results in a way that sticks
• How to position your practice as the place patients trust for answers—not just testing

If you’ve ever had a patient say “I need to think about it”… this is the missing piece.

We want to give a big thank you to our lab team this week.

So much of what we do depends on the consistency, care, and attention to detail that happens behind the scenes every single day. It’s not always visible, but it’s felt in every result that goes out and every provider who relies on that work.

We’re incredibly grateful for the time, focus, and pride you bring to what you do. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day.

For many individuals on the spectrum, blood draws can be a major barrier to testing. Not because of the test itself, but because of the sensory experience around it.

These small, practical adjustments can make testing more accessible and more manageable in real time.

The immune system isn’t just reacting—it’s communicating.

Join us with the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute for a live, clinically focused webinar: Decoding the Immune System: Tolerance, Triggers, and Targeted Care

We’ll break down:
• How immune tolerance is established and lost
• The role of environmental and physiological triggers
• How to apply immune insights to more precise, targeted care

Featuring:
Aristo Vojdani, PhD
Elroy Vojdani, MD

Designed to move beyond theory and into real clinical application, so you can identify early immune dysfunction and intervene with confidence.

Last chance to join us this Friday 2 PM PT for a live webinar with .

Autoimmune cases don’t always follow a clear path and having the right context can make all the difference.

Join us for a practical, clinical session on how to better identify immune patterns, select appropriate testing, and turn results into more confident next steps in care.

If you’ve been wanting a more structured way to approach complex cases, this will be a valuable one to attend.
