Dr. Eboni Cornish
Dr. Eboni Cornish is the Associate Medical Director at Amen Clinics, President-Elect of the ILADS board 2026-2027, and a nationally recognized functional and integrative medicine physician. She is an expert in the intersection of brain health, gut health, and immune function, with advanced training in chronic infections, environmental toxicity, autoimmune neuroinflammation, and complex neuropsychiatric disorders.
Dr. Cornish specializes in integrating Amen Clinics’ SPECT brain imaging with advanced biomarker testing to uncover how chronic infections—including Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, and chronic viral syndromes—along with mold illness and toxic exposures disrupt the microbiome and brain function, fueling mood disorders, cognitive decline, and chronic stress patterns. Her work highlights the gut–brain–mood axis, showing how inflammation, microbiome imbalance, and neurotransmitter disruption can block recovery from addiction, trauma, and long-term stress. Her clinical approach combines precision diagnostics with targeted nutritional interventions, biochemical restoration, detoxification strategies, and neurorehabilitation. A national lecturer on neuroinflammation, environmental medicine, and brain longevity, Dr. Cornish has become a sought-after voice for translating complex science into actionable healing strategies.
