When your morning falls apart, so does everything else, sister. This week Carrie and Meg pull up a chair for a soul-baring sit-down with the one and only Tiffany Hendra, reality TV alum, transformation coach, and Carrie's Leo sister. What started as a chat about morning routines turned into church, therapy, and a girls' trip all rolled into one. Tiffany gets real about white-knuckling through menopause and coming out the other side feeling reborn, like she went through the "birthing tunnel" and hit the reset button on her whole life at almost-55. The ladies dig into the hormone hell nobody warns you about: the inflammation, the insulin resistance, the adult acne, the frozen shoulder, and the weight that piles on no matter how hard you Peloton. But this one goes deeper than hormones. We're talking about the sweaty, yucky, six-weekends-on-the-couch conversations that saved a 22-year marriage. Healing people-pleasing and codependency. Learning to mother yourself after a lifetime of accepting crumbs. And the game-changing truth that your nervous system can only hold so much until you regulate it and watch your whole world explode.

Check out start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. --- Why are so many patients still struggling with debilitating symptoms years after COVID—and why does conventional medicine seem to have so few answers? In this encore presentation, Drs. Tim and May Hindmarsh sit down with internist and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough for an in-depth discussion about long COVID, persistent spike protein, chronic inflammation, and the growing number of patients experiencing symptoms that don't fit neatly into traditional medical models. The conversation explores why some individuals develop lingering neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune-related symptoms long after infection, the emerging theories surrounding persistent spike protein, and the ongoing debate over diagnostics and treatment approaches. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply trying to understand why long COVID remains such a challenging condition, this episode dives into one of the most controversial and widely discussed topics in post-pandemic medicine. Note: This episode is being re-released due to continued listener interest. The discussion reflects the guests' perspectives and the evidence available at the time of recording. Research into COVID-19, long COVID, and related therapies continues to evolve. In This Episode Why long COVID continues to puzzle physicians Symptoms that extend far beyond the respiratory system The connection between inflammation, clotting, and neurological symptoms Current theories surrounding persistent spike protein Why some patients experience dramatically different recoveries Autoimmune responses and chronic immune dysregulation Mast cell activation and histamine intolerance The role of the gut microbiome in recovery Challenges surrounding laboratory testing and diagnosis Why individualized treatment approaches remain essential Emerging therapies being explored for long COVID The importance of continuing research into post-viral illness About Our Guest Dr. Peter McCullough is a board-certified internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic he became one of the most recognizable physicians discussing early treatment strategies, vaccine safety, and long COVID. His work has generated both significant attention and controversy within the medical community. Key Takeaway Long COVID is not a one-size-fits-all condition. While researchers continue investigating its underlying mechanisms, patients and clinicians alike are searching for better ways to diagnose, understand, and treat persistent post-viral symptoms. This episode explores one physician's perspective on those ongoing challenges and why continued research remains critical.

For 22 years, I predicted death for life insurance companies. One pattern showed up in file after file: most "genetic" conditions have no gene behind them. Ask your doctor which gene causes your blood pressure, your autoimmune condition, or your ADHD, and most can't answer, because it doesn't exist. What actually runs in your family is a nutrient deficiency, not a disease, and once your body gets what it's missing, the disease often clears on its own. This isn't medical advice, so bring this to your own doctor before you assume anything is permanent.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince kick off a slower newsweek by trading MAHA wins (fasting, ankle rehab, and other Friday flexes) before diving into RFK Jr.'s push for a formal COVID vaccine injury table and what it could mean for Americans still waiting on compensation. They break down HHS's new Make Hospital Food Healthier Pledge, wonder aloud why hospital cafeterias so often resemble a sad Applebee's, and dig into Medicare's brand new GLP1 coverage pilot for seniors. After Nate signs off early, Jordan flies solo through Merck's Gardasil settlement, the Supreme Court's glyphosate ruling, and a candid roast of biohacker Brian Johnson's autoimmune diagnosis. The episode wraps with a genuinely useful rundown of habits and supplements for focus and ADHD, from Lion's Mane to adaptogens. Equal parts news update and dinner table debate about what actually counts as "good" food.

For decades, people diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis have been told the same three things: the disease is genetic, autoimmune, and ultimately idiopathic—meaning nobody truly knows what causes it. But does today's scientific literature actually support those conclusions? Josh explains how the very terminology of those 3 words "genetic", "autoimmune", "random" is actually based on misinterpreted or ignored science, and that the narrative of it being impossible to fix, stops people from bothering to look. In this episode, he breaks down the history, the studies and the science to prove that bowel disease is not what they say it is. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Challenging the genetic theory of IBD Questioning the autoimmune classification Environmental and lifestyle risk factors Historical evolution of IBD research Genetics vs. gene expression (environmental influence) Remission versus cure debate If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.

Nishant shares how nearly two decades in neuromodulation, R&D, clinical development, and commercialization led him to build Surf Therapeutics, a Stanford spin-out developing a breakthrough ultrasound neuromodulation platform for autoimmune disease. The conversation explores the science behind Surf's at-home, non-invasive ultrasound therapy device for rheumatoid arthritis, the role of the spleen and inflammatory pathways, what it takes to build and test medical technology in a startup environment, and why speed, data, accountability, and solution-oriented thinking matter so much in early-stage innovation.

Your bloodwork came back normal. Your doctor says you're fine. But the brain fog, the joint pain, the fatigue that won't lift — something is off, and no one can tell you what.It might be in your house.In this episode, functional medicine practitioner Laurel Brennan tells the story of her own mold exposure — what it did to her health and her family's, how long it went undetected, and the moment she finally connected the dots. She breaks down how mold drives inflammation behind autoimmune conditions, brain fog, and neurological symptoms, and why so many people live in water-damaged homes for years without knowing it.You'll learn why standard air sampling can miss the problem, how dust-based testing like the ERMI gives you a clearer picture of what's actually in your environment, and the first steps to take if you suspect mold in your home.Because when you don't know, you don't know. And once you do, you can't unknow it. TakeawaysMold can cause a wide range of symptoms, from neurological issues to joint pain.Air samples may not be reliable; an ERMI, like The Dust Test, provides better insights.Curiosity and instinct are important in detecting mold problems.Water-damaged homes often harbor hidden mold that affects health.Testing your environment can help prevent long-term health issues.Chapters00:00Introduction and Personal Journey01:00Understanding Mold and Its Health Impacts03:18Mold Inspection Experiences06:03Symptoms and Family Health Issues10:19Moving to a New Home and Initial Relief12:08Emerging Symptoms and Concerns15:46Learning About Mold Testing19:50Deciding on Remediation or Moving20:34Challenges in a New Apartment22:49The Impact of Mold on Health24:20Lessons Learned and Final ThoughtsResourcesDust Test EnviroBiomicsEpisode #9 with Brian Karr from WeInspect

Autoimmune disorders affect women at significantly higher rates than men, yet many women are never taught about the everyday factors that influence immune health long before symptoms appear. If you've been experiencing persistent fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, digestive issues, inflammation, or hormonal changes during perimenopause or menopause, your body may be signaling that it needs deeper support. In this episode of Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health, Dr. Rekishia McMillan continues an important conversation inspired by her participation in Anthony's Legacy of Love Community Awareness Event, where she joined community leaders in raising awareness about autoimmune disorders and the importance of health education. You'll discover why women account for nearly 80% of autoimmune disease cases and how hormones, gut health, sleep, chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, environmental exposures, and oral health all work together to influence immune function. Dr. McMillan also shares how these foundational wellness principles have become an important part of her own personal health journey and why supporting the body consistently can help create an environment where it is better equipped to function and thrive. This episode moves beyond symptom management and encourages women to better understand what their bodies may be trying to communicate. Through practical, science-based and faith-centered education, you'll learn simple lifestyle strategies that support immune health, reduce inflammation, and promote whole-body wellness.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."
Your doctor probably didn't have answers to these questions. And that's not a slight. It's just the truth.This week I went straight to my Facebook community and asked for their real questions. What came back wasn't a list of random health curiosities. It was a snapshot of exactly what women are carrying right now. Thyroid confusion. Autoimmune diagnoses with zero real explanations. Environmental exposures nobody's investigating. Hereditary labels being used to shut the conversation down. Postsurgical symptoms written off as aging. And one woman doing the work one change at a time, just wanting to know if she's on the right track.She is. And so are you.I answered every single one of these questions. Because these are the root cause questions. The why questions. The ones worth asking.Inside this episode, we cover:Why your thyroid dose keeps going up every six months, and what it's actually signalingHow mold and environmental toxins drive chronic illness in ways the standard of care doesn't test forWhat I truly believe causes lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmunity, and what actually helps people function betterWhy "hereditary" gets used as a conversation ender too quickly, and what to ask insteadHow to implement changes from the book without overwhelming your systemWhat surgical menopause does to your hormones, and why what you're experiencing is not just agingThe liver scarring question: what's actually possible, and what deserves honestyIf you've been handed a diagnosis with no explanation. If you've been told something is genetic, incurable, or inevitable. If you've been quietly asking "is there something more?" This episode is your answer.Yes. There is something more.Share this episode with one woman who's been told to just accept it.

Perimenopause is more than hot flashes and irregular periods. In this episode, host Erin Kerry sits down with Christian nutritionist Chelsea Blackbird to discuss the surprising physical, emotional, and mental changes women experience during midlife hormone shifts. Together they explore the connection between progesterone, estrogen, histamine, anxiety, sleep, trauma, autoimmune conditions, and nervous system health. They also discuss hormone replacement therapy (HRT), natural support options like evening primrose oil, vitex, and maca, and why foundational habits such as sunlight, sleep, stress regulation, and nutrition matter more than ever during this season.

Discover 5 key autoimmune triggers hiding in your past. From COVID and herpes simplex to staph, Epstein-Barr, and strep infections, Nurse Doza breaks down how past infections can reprogram your immune system to attack your own tissue — and what gut health has to do with it all. Gut (L-Glutamine) by MSW Nutrition Gut, featuring 4 grams of pure L-Glutamine per scoop, is the primary fuel source for the cells that line your intestinal wall. When past infections, antibiotics, or chronic stress compromise your gut barrier, your immune system loses its most important line of defense — creating the conditions where autoimmune triggers thrive. Gut helps repair the gut lining, reduce digestive inflammation, and support the immune cells that depend on a healthy gut to function properly. Whether you're managing an existing autoimmune disorder or working to prevent one, healing your gut is where it starts.

"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago.

How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
Sometimes Christians speak about the body as though it barely matters. As though spiritual growth and physical stewardship are completely separate things. But Scripture paints a very different picture. God created your body intentionally. Jesus came in a body. Jesus rose in a body. And one day, we will receive glorified bodies. Your body matters to God. In this episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer (Own It Show, The Power of Ownership) explained how many people live disconnected from their bodies entirely. Ignoring exhaustion. Ignoring stress. Ignoring burnout. Ignoring emotional pain. Until eventually the body begins sounding alarms we can no longer ignore. Anxiety. Fatigue. Autoimmune struggles. Hormonal issues. And often we wonder: "Why is this happening to me?" But perhaps sometimes the better question is: "Have I been stewarding what God entrusted to me?" Not from condemnation, but from invitation. Because God is not trying to shame you. He is inviting you into abundant life. And at the center of that invitation is identity. Justin shared that for years, he believed his worth came from achievement and performance. But God taught him that he did not need to earn what had already been freely given through Christ. You do not have to prove your value. You already have value. And from that secure identity, you can begin making decisions that honor the life and body God has given you. And when you care for your body fully, you can also show up for the things God has for you fully. We hope this episode blesses you!

If you have Hashimoto's and have been told your blood sugar is "borderline" or "fine for now," this conversation will change how you think about it. Inna sits down with Dr. Jason Shumard, a functional medicine practitioner with more than two decades of experience in diabetes and insulin resistance, to unpack why blood sugar troubles and thyroid autoimmunity so often travel together. The surprising takeaway is that elevated blood sugar usually isn't a sugar problem at all. It's a signal that something has gone wrong at the level of the cell, and chasing the number alone tends to leave the real issue untouched.Dr. Jason walks through what's actually happening when insulin can no longer do its job, and why the receptors on your cells stop responding in the first place. He explains the role that hidden drivers like infections, mold, heavy metals, chronic inflammation and everyday stress play in keeping the cycle going, and why these overlap so heavily with the same triggers behind Hashimoto's. He and Inna also dig into the lab markers worth paying attention to beyond a basic glucose reading, the optimal ranges he looks for, and the simple ratio already sitting on most standard bloodwork that can flag insulin resistance early.The discussion gets especially practical around carbohydrates, GLP-1 medications, and the idea of cycling rather than relying on any single tool forever. Dr. Jason offers a refreshingly balanced view, neither demonizing carbs nor treating medications as a permanent fix, and shares why restoring true cellular function is what allows so many people to move toward remission. It's an honest, hopeful look at a topic that affects far more people with thyroid issues than most realize, and a reminder that the body is often far more capable of healing than we've been led to believe.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/lowering-blood-sugar-insulin-resistance-hashimotos-dr-jason-shumard/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com Get ThyroLove - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping
If you've been told that autoimmune disease is simply something you manage for the rest of your life, this episode is for you. As a registered nurse and holistic health coach who has personally walked the road of chronic illness, I want you to hear the fuller story — one that conventional medicine often leaves out. This episode is for the Christian woman who is exhausted from chasing answers, overwhelmed by conflicting advice, and ready to approach her health from a whole-life, faith-centered perspective. If that's you, keep reading. Why Reversal Is Possible Autoimmune disease is not a simple, one-size-fits-all condition. Conventional medicine tends to describe it as the body attacking itself — but I'd put it differently. Your body is crying out for help. That reframe matters, because it shifts the conversation from managing a broken system to listening to and supporting a body that God designed with remarkable intelligence. I've seen reversal happen. I've lived it. By the grace of God, I have been largely medication-free since 2018. My life is full — I work, homeschool my three children, run side businesses, and stay active. A physician's assistant at a new job last year told me, "If all my patients were like you, I'd be out of a job." I share that not to brag, but to give you real, grounded hope. What Actually Causes Autoimmune Conditions There is genuine disagreement in the medical world about what causes autoimmune disease, but here are contributing factors worth knowing: Viral infections and hidden pathogens Exposure to environmental toxins, mold, and chemicals Genetic predisposition Leaky gut and chronic infections Chronic, unaddressed stress That last one is glaringly absent from many conventional resources — and yet it is one of the most significant drivers of chronic illness. Women, and particularly caregivers, are disproportionately affected by autoimmune conditions. That is not a coincidence. Rest is not optional. It is biblical, and it is biological. How to Support Your Body Toward Reversal There is no single protocol that works for every woman, but here are the areas worth exploring as part of a holistic health approach: Diet aligned with God's natural design — whole, clean foods, quality animal proteins, a variety of plants and spices Natural remedies and reducing your toxic load at home (see episodes 26 and 27 for more on environmental toxins) Addressing hidden infections, parasites, and gut health Stress reduction rooted in biblical rest, community, and time in God's Word Mindset — your thoughts are powerful, and a mindset that believes healing is impossible will close your eyes to the very things God may be using to help you Resources mentioned: The Autoimmune Solution by Amy Myers, MD, and The Maker's Diet by Jordan Rubin. The Missing Piece in Functional Medicine Functional medicine offers powerful tools — diet, lab work, gut health protocols — but it rarely addresses the spiritual dimension of healing. As a nurse who has worked in both conventional and integrative health spaces, I believe God is our healer. That is not a platitude. It is the foundation from which every other health decision in my life flows. Christian wellness is not just wellness with a Bible verse added. It is an entirely different framework for understanding the body, suffering, and restoration. Timestamped Highlights 0:00 — Autoimmune disease is not a life sentence 0:26 — My personal story: from conventional medicine to 90 pounds and a whole-life reset 1:24 — Medication-free since 2018 and what that actually looks like 3:17 — Real hope: what it meant to hear "you will get better" 5:15 — The Autoimmune Solution by Amy Myers and what functional medicine gets right 6:39 — What functional medicine leaves out: God as healer 7:07 — A better way to understand what autoimmune disease actually is 8:03 — Why women are more likely to develop autoimmune conditions 9:28 — Hidden infections, mold, toxins, and leaky gut as root causes 10:21 — Diet, natural remedies, and eating in alignment with God's design 12:41 — Why stress and mindset matter more than most people realize 14:04 — Habits, routines, and the caregiver who isn't caring for herself 15:32 — Proverbs 3:5-6 and the GPS analogy: you have to be moving 17:24 — The More Energy Strategy Session: your next step Key Takeaways Autoimmune disease has multiple root causes, and addressing them requires a whole-person, whole-life approach — not just a prescription. Your body is not broken or attacking you. It is signaling that something deeper needs attention. Stress, rest, environment, diet, mindset, and faith all play a role in how your body functions. Healing is not a formula. It is a journey, and God is in it with you. You do not need to have everything figured out. You need to take the next step. This episode is educational and faith-based and is not intended as medical advice. Your Next Step Is Waiting If this episode stirred something in you, don't let that feeling pass. The More Energy Strategy Session is a focused, one-hour session designed to give you one thing: your next step. Not a 47-point plan. Not more overwhelm. Just clarity on where to start and what to do first. If you've been sitting with a feeling that something needs to change and you don't know how to move forward, this session was built for you.

Today, I interview Lizzie Siegel, who came into this world deeply connected to her gifts but spent years learning to suppress them, until a series of accidents, illnesses, and a relationship where she felt completely invisible forced her to stop abandoning herself and come back to her voice.Raised with a heightened sensitivity that others around her often misunderstood, Lizzie spent nearly two decades as an international school teacher before her body began breaking down from years of ignoring her inner voice. Autoimmune diseases, a spinal injury, and a recommended hip replacement were the signals she could no longer dismiss.Through energy healing, sound work, and a journey across more than 70 countries, she found her way back to the voice she had always had, and built a practice around helping others remember theirs.__________________Lizzie Siegel is a Resource and Reality Architect, Subconscious Freedom Coach, and global gridworker who has traveled to over 70 countries activating the Earth's energetic grids, sacred sites, and collective consciousness. She works at the intersection of voice, frequency, and remembrance, using sound, light language, and intuitive transmission to awaken what she calls Divine Source Codes within the human system.With a rare clairaudient gift, Lizzie hears beyond words, reading the energetic field of what is spoken, suppressed, and ready to be liberated. Her presence alone becomes a catalyst for transformation, dissolving deep rooted patterns of fear, trauma, and limitation, and recalibrating individuals at the level of identity, nervous system, and soul.She doesn't just help people find their voice. She helps them remember who they were before they ever learned to silence it.__________________Find Lizzie here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizziesiegel/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lilybity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzienamasteplantbased/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartshomewithlizzie/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartshomewithlizzie Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2y8L6exu2GxJeBQSEUSX5K?si=0a10cdc09bec41c4 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hearts-home-podcast/id1648081724Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Autoimmune disease often starts long before symptoms become obvious, and advanced testing may help uncover the hidden triggers driving inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic illness. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Rubina Vojdani of Immunosciences Lab about how viruses like EBV, HHV-6, SARS-CoV-2, and Lyme-related infections can contribute to immune dysregulation, molecular mimicry, neuroinflammation, and autoimmune patterns. They discuss why conventional screening may miss key clues, how advanced panels can help identify root causes, and why monitoring markers over time can empower both practitioners and patients to intervene earlier and more precisely. Rubina Vojdani is the Lab Manager and Marketing Director at Immunosciences Lab, a clinical laboratory focused on functional immunology, autoimmunity, viral triggers, Lyme disease, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Working alongside her father, world-renowned immunologist Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Rubina helps bridge complex laboratory science with real-world clinical practice. Her work focuses on helping practitioners better understand how infections, environmental factors, and immune dysregulation contribute to chronic disease.Website: https://immunoscienceslab.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/immunoscienceslabFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/immunoscienceslabincPODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

Show Notes
This week I'm joined by my co-founder of Beeya Wellness, Kaya Purohit, and together we're sitting down with Dr. Tanda Cook and Dr. Katie Collier. If you've been around the show, you already know them. This is their fourth time on the podcast, and there's a reason we keep bringing them back. They're naturopathic doctors who work with women every single day on the stuff most doctors miss. The fatigue that won't quit. The brain fog. The weird rashes. The gut that's been off for years. And the lab work that keeps coming back "normal" while you feel anything but. They have this gift for taking what feels confusing in your body and making it actually make sense.In this episode, we're talking about autoimmune. Because 80% of autoimmune cases belong to women, and what Tanda and Katie share is genuinely hopeful.

Are you stuck in a cycle of inflammation with no clear answers? Autoimmune conditions can be confusing, frustrating, slow to diagnose, and sometimes take years to understand. In this episode, I am chatting with Mickey Trescott, a leading expert on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), about her decade of research and personal experience managing autoimmune disease. We talk about the modified AIP, exploring why it isn't just a diet but a structured healing process. Mickey also shares insights from clinical studies on IBD, Hashimoto's, and psoriasis, and explains how elimination and reintroduction phases help people discover their personal triggers. You'll learn how to approach food as medicine, adapt the protocol to your lifestyle, and reintroduce foods safely. Plus, Mickey offers simple tips to help you calm inflammation, restore gut balance, and finally feel empowered in your autoimmune journey. "There is no cure for autoimmune disease, but I really believe that we can manage and live well with it." ~ Mickey Trescott In This Episode: - How AIP differs from traditional elimination diets - The real goal of the AIP diet - Clinical results from AIP studies - Modified vs core autoimmune protocol - Food sensitivity testing explained - Delayed reactions and cross-reactivity - Mickey's autoimmune flare story - The New Autoimmune Protocol book overview Products & Resources Mentioned: Mickey's Books on Autoimmune Wellness: Pre-order The New Autoimmune Protocol book and buy other books on Autoimmune Protocol at https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/books/#naip Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Mickey Trescott: Mickey Trescott, MSc, is a leading advocate of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

For most of human history, people went about their daily lives with a worm or two (or fifty) in their guts. Only in the past century, with pharmaceuticals and sanitation practices, have we made significant strides towards deworming the whole of humanity. And that's typically been thought of as a good thing, because having too many worms in your body can–quite literally–suck the life out of you. But is it possible to have… too few worms? Science wonders if deworming ourselves has actually led to an increase in certain chronic diseases. On this episode, we dive into Necator americanus, a.k.a. the American Hookworm, and its mysterious relationship with each of us. We trace the hookworm's 118-year journey from a demonized economic depressant, to its use as a desperate D.I.Y. immunosuppressant, to its potential as a medical treatment for a number of chronic diseases, everything from asthma to MS. We're bringing back two stories from our 2009 episode Parasites plus new research on hookworms and autoimmune diseases, reported by Molly Webster Special thanks to Ethan Hein for the use of his remix of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21. Plus, Doris Pierce, and Dan and Alice Hadley.

Autoimmune disease is often treated as something random, lifelong, and out of your control. But what if it's not your body malfunctioning—what if it's your immune system responding exactly the way it's designed to, to something it sees as a threat? When you understand what's driving that response, everything changes. Here's what I cover in today's episode: • The 5 key drivers—food, toxins, gut health, infections, and stress—and how they disrupt the immune system • Why diet is one of the most powerful levers for turning inflammation on or off every single day • The connection between leaky gut, the microbiome, and immune dysfunction • A practical, functional medicine framework to start reducing symptoms and addressing the condition at the root Autoimmune disease isn't random—it's the result of cumulative inputs over time. When you begin to change those inputs, you can shift your biology, calm the immune system, and change the trajectory of your health. Visit functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.
