What happens when your body begins to fail—and no one can tell you why? In this powerful episode of The Health Detective Podcast, Katie shares her deeply personal health journey through sudden illness, mold exposure, and the long road back to healing. What started as an unexplainable health collapse quickly became a life-altering wake-up call—one that forced her to become her own #1 advocate. At the time, Katie was juggling a brand-new baby and running a busy retail jewelry store she had just opened in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. Despite the obvious stressors, the severity and speed of her illness didn't make sense. Traditional medicine offered endless testing, referrals, medications, and even repeat surgeries—but no real answers, no roadmap, and no explanation for why her body was responding the way it was. Refusing to accept a life of unanswered questions, Katie dove headfirst into functional medicine, investing countless hours, resources, and education to uncover the root cause of her symptoms. Along the way, she discovered that there is always a reason the body responds the way it does—and that healing is possible when you find the right method and the right help.     Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!

Most of us have been trained to think of treating people as a technical problem. If something hurts, we look for the right drug. If something fails, we look for the right procedure. That picture is incomplete.We've built a system obsessed with fixing bodies, while quietly ignoring the inner worlds of the people living inside them. Their fears, their beliefs, their unanswered prayers, and the meaning they're trying to make of suffering.Illness doesn't just attack organs. It raises questions about God, identity, guilt, fear, and loss of control. And when those questions go unanswered, suffering multiplies, no matter how advanced the treatment plan is.Modern medicine has no real language for this kind of pain. It knows how to measure blood pressure, inflammation, and tumor size, but it doesn't know how to sit with grief, spiritual doubt, uncertainty, and loss.Yet when clinicians slow down enough to listen, something shifts. Patients begin to speak about meaning, about God, about unresolved relationships and fears they've never voiced before.And often, that is where real healing starts — the kind of whole-person healing that restores connection, dignity, and a sense of being spiritually held in the middle of suffering.What if some of the deepest healing doesn't come from doing more, but from being more present? How can clinicians learn to care for the soul as intentionally as they care for the body?In this episode, I speak with Dr. Marvin Delgado Guay, a palliative care specialist at MD Anderson Cancer Center. We talk about what it looks like when medicine includes spiritual care in its everyday practice. We explore why “total pain” includes the soul as much as the body, and how healthcare can become not just a place of treatment, but a space for healing, meaning, and connection with God.Things You'll Learn In This Episode Pain isn't always physicalMany symptoms labeled as “medical” are actually expressions of emotional or spiritual distress. What happens when we treat suffering instead of just symptoms?Fixing vs. healingMedicine is trained to solve problems, but some forms of suffering can't be solved, only witnessed. How does presence become a form of treatment?How spirituality shapes medical decisionsBeliefs about meaning, God, and purpose influence everything from treatment choices to end-of-life care, but are clinicians equipped to address this?The power of the “collective soul” in healthcareWhen doctors, nurses, chaplains, and therapists work as one, care becomes something deeper than specialization. What changes when healing becomes a shared human act?Guest BioDr. Marvin Delgado Guay is an internist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Palliative Care and Rehabilitation Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he provides symptom control and supportive care for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers. He completed his internal medicine training at Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, followed by a fellowship in Geriatric Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and a clinical and research fellowship in Symptom Control and Palliative Care at MD Anderson. Earlier in his career, he coordinated palliative care services and worked within geriatrics at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital through the University of Texas Medical School. Dr. Delgado Guay's work focuses on what medicine often overlooks: the full experience of illness. His research explores physical, psychological, and spiritual distress in patients with serious disease, as well as aging-related issues such as frailty and cognition. He has authored and co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications on symptom burden and spiritual care in advanced cancer, and is deeply committed to improving quality of...

In this episode of The CIRS Group podcast, Barbara and Jacie talk about the prevalence of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). Despite being relatively unknown, CIRS is not rare; It  affects approximately 25% of the population due to genetic susceptibility. They discuss the reasons behind the lack of awareness in conventional medicine, from underdiagnosis and nonspecific symptoms, to larger systemic issues with the medical industry and lack of awareness around mold. This episode highlights who should consider CIRS, the symptoms to look out for, and the steps to diagnosis and treatment. With a mix of personal insights and factual information, this episode aims to arm listeners with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health.

Why do so many Lyme patients stay sick — even after treating infections, detoxing, and “doing everything right”?In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. K sits down with functional and environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Kelly McCann to explore why Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) are rarely just infections — and why true healing requires addressing the terrain of the body, nervous system, emotions, and spirit. Drawing from her own journey through mold illness and Lyme disease, Dr. McCann explains how immune dysregulation, trauma, limbic system activation, and cell membrane damage keep patients stuck in chronic illness.This conversation dives deep into mast cell activation, mold exposure, Bartonella, phosphatidylcholine therapy, biofilms, nervous system regulation, emotional trauma, spirituality, and why symptoms are not betrayals — but messages. If you've been gaslit, dismissed, or feel like your body is working against you, this episode offers validation, insight, and a radically different way to understand Lyme healing.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction and Dr. Kelly McCann's personal healing journey3:00 Mold exposure as a hidden driver of chronic illness6:20 Lyme, Bartonella, and the overlap with mast cell activation9:30 Why siloed medicine fails complex chronic disease patients11:40 Phosphatidylcholine and cell membrane repair explained13:50 When antimicrobial treatment stalls, look beyond infections16:50 Mast cell activation, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation18:40 The limbic system's role in chronic illness21:10 Emotional trauma, immune boundaries, and people-pleasing24:00 Language, identity, and separating yourself from disease26:10 Terrain theory and why healing requires self-honoring choices29:00 Illness as an invitation, not a punishmentResources Mentioned:Dr. Kelly McCann – https://drkellymccann.comThe Spring Center – https://thespringcenter.comThe Unforgetting Project – https://unforgettingproject.comMicroGen DX (Next Generation Sequencing) – https://microgendx.comByron White Formulas – https://byronwhiteformulas.com _______________________________The Karlfeldt Center offers the most cutting-edge and comprehensive Lyme therapies.

Anthony and Bernie are joined by special guest Jonathan Gluck, award-winning journalist and author of "An Exercise in Uncertainty: A Memoir of Illness and Hope" for a powerful conversation about living through uncertainty. Drawing on his decades-long journey with multiple myeloma, Jon reflects on the emotional, clinical, and existential uncertainties that shape living with cancer. The discussion moves beyond the patient experience to explore how uncertainty permeates everyday life, as well as oncology practice, including waiting for new therapies to become available, navigating logistical (and insurance) barriers, and interpreting evolving clinical trial data where the answers are not always clear. Jon is graciously donating a portion of the proceeds of the book to multiple myeloma research, so everyone who picks up a copy is donating to a good cause! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/760582/an-exercise-in-uncertainty-by-jonathan-gluck/

In this up close and personal conversation, Dr. Dan Wallace opens up about his faith journey, a devastating health crisis that radically disrupted his memory, and the remarkable experience of having to relearn Greek—using his own textbook.Known worldwide for his work in biblical Greek and New Testament manuscripts, Dr. Wallace shares a side of his story that's rarely told: suffering, perseverance, calling, and the discipline of lifelong learning. We talk about what it means to pursue scholarship as an act of faith, why biblical languages still matter, and how loss reshaped the way he teaches, studies, and serves the Church.This episode is not just about Greek or academia—it's about vocation, endurance, and trusting God through seasons of weakness and rebuilding.#podcast #bible #jesus #christ #interview #biblestudy #languagelearning #scholarship #illness #testimony #faith #greek #education #god #godisgood #scripture #wordofgod #story #storytime #storytelling ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Leigh Ann Lindsey, founder of The Accrescent and creator of Healing Alchemy, to explore the powerful connection between the unconscious mind, emotional patterns, and physical illness. Leigh Ann shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer at 25 and how that experience led her to discover and ultimately dedicate her work to EVOX therapy, a modality focused on the emotional and energetic contributors to illness.Leigh Ann breaks down what EVOX therapy actually is, explaining how voice mapping identifies imbalanced emotions through vocal tones and how biofeedback frequencies help regulate the nervous system and support emotional release. She discusses why nervous system regulation is critical when working through trauma and chronic illness, and why talk therapy alone can sometimes feel slow or incomplete when the body remains in a stress response.The conversation dives deep into unconscious narratives, safety, and how early life experiences can shape belief systems that quietly run our behaviours, health patterns, and even our ability to heal. Leigh Ann explains how unmetabolized emotions, looping thought patterns, and displaced pain can manifest as illness, and why healing requires more than positive thinking or affirmations. Together, they explore how illness can sometimes serve as a messenger or coping mechanism, offering insight into what the body and psyche may be asking for beneath the surface.Throughout the episode, Leigh Ann emphasizes a “no stone unturned” approach to healing, blending EVOX therapy with depth psychology to help clients move through emotional blockages, rewire old neural pathways, and create a sense of safety within the body. She also shares how her Healing Alchemy membership and resources make this work more accessible for people navigating cancer, chronic illness, and long-standing emotional patterns.This episode offers a compassionate, grounded, and deeply insightful look at healing that honors the mind, body, and spirit as an integrated whole.Find Leigh Ann Lindsey on instagram hereLet us know your thoughts on this episode hereFor any further information, feel free to email us at info@vagusclinic.com.

Supporting Through Illness: Care, Boundaries, and Staying HumanWhen illness enters your life or your work, support can become complicated — especially in spaces built on care, connection, and showing up for others.In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah and Chris share an honest conversation about what it means to support clients, caregivers, and yourself while navigating serious illness — without losing boundaries, professionalism, or humanity.They reflect on what support actually felt like, what didn't, and how they learned to hold clear limits while continuing to teach, run a studio, and show up for their community. This episode explores normalcy as dignity, consent on both sides, the invisible weight caregivers carry, and the loneliness of leadership during crisis.This is not a how-to episode. It's a reflection — grounded, personal, and human — for movement teachers and studio owners navigating hard seasons.Thank you to our season sponsor, OfferingTree.Simplify your pilates business with OfferingTree's all-in-one platform.

EPISODE 112 | Is chronic illness rooted in the body—or in how the brain and nervous system are communicating? In this episode of the Neurologic Wellness Podcast, Dr. Cathleen King of Primal Trust shares her deeply personal recovery journey and the neuroscience behind nervous system regulation, brain retraining, and identity-level healing. After years of Lyme disease, mold toxicity, autoimmune illness, and nervous system collapse, Dr. King discovered that her symptoms were driven by a protective brain stuck in survival mode. This realization led to the creation of Primal Trust, a multi-level nervous system and inner work program that has guided nearly 20,000 people through healing. Topics include: Brain processing disorders & symptom memory loops Vagus nerve, limbic system & somatic regulation Why belief systems and identity matter in healing Illness identity & the fear of letting diagnoses go Timing vs. treatment in chronic illness recovery Neurologic Wellness Institute Boca Raton, FL | Chicago, IL | Waukesha, WI | Wood Dale, IL

Healing: who God is, what God does, what God has done through Jesus, what Jesus' followers do “Divine healing is a miracle. It is the power of Almighty God intervening in human affairs and suspending natural law in order to bring healing to our bodies. This is what God's Son did when He was on the planet, and God desires His Church, the Body of Christ, to do the same today. He wants to see miracle working power in your body.” – Pastor Wendell Smith PhD in Faith for Healing  Wisdom for Health Who God is: “They traveled in this desert for three days without finding any water. When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink.  So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink. It was there at Marah that the Lord set before them the following decree as a standard to test their faithfulness to him. He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the Lord who heals you (Yahweh-Rapha).” – Exodus 15:22-27  NLT Who Jesus is: Isaiah 53 (Prophetic prediction of who Jesus would be and what He would do) 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering who knew what sickness was. He was like someone people turned away from; he was despised, and we didn't value him. 4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; (Illness and mental/emotional pain) but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds. 6 We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished him for the iniquity of us all. 11 After his anguish, he will see light and be satisfied. By his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many, and he will carry their iniquities.” – Isaiah 53  CSB What Jesus did and has accomplished on the cross: “He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said, ‘He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.'” – Matthew 8:14-17  NLT  (quoting Isaiah 53) “He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.” – 1 Peter 2:24-25  NLT  (quoting Isaiah 53) Matthew 4:24, Luke 4:38-39, Mark 1:32-34, 6:5-6  Jesus heals blindness, paralysis, leprosy, and raises from the dead… sicknesses of all kinds. Matthew 4:23-24. (that which was beyond medicine) “Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.” – Matthew 4:23-24  NLT Jesus responds to the faith of those who want to be healed and those interceding for them. “A Roman officer pleaded with him, ‘Lord, my young servant lies in bed, paralyzed and in terrible pain.' Jesus said, ‘I will come and heal him.' But the officer said, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,' and they go, or ‘Come,' and they come.'  When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, ‘I tell you the truth, I haven't seen faith like this in all Israel!' Jesus said, ‘Go back home. Because you believed, it has happened.' And the young servant was healed that same hour.” – Matthew 8:5-13  NLT “The leader of a synagogue, ‘My daughter has just died,' he said, ‘but you can bring her back to life again if you just come and lay your hand on her.' So Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him. Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, for she thought, ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.' Jesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, ‘Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.' And the woman was healed at that moment When Jesus arrived at the official's home, he saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. ‘Get out!' he told them. ‘The girl isn't dead; she's only asleep.' Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up!” – Matthew 9:18-26  NLT Mark 9:20-24  “'I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!'” Jesus delivered and healed the boy.   Luke 17:19  Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.” (leprosy) Many healing miracles through Jesus-followers!  Philippians 2:25-27  Acts 2:43, 3:1-8, 5:12, 14:3, 8-10, 19:11-12, 28:7-9 (and many more Scriptures OT and NT) …using various methods, and same outcome. “A man was sitting, who had never walked, and had been lame from birth. He listened as Paul spoke. After looking directly at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed, Paul said in a loud voice, ‘Stand up on your feet!' And he jumped up and began to walk around.” – Acts 14:8-10  CSB  “God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles. When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.” – Acts 19:11-12  NLT  “As it happened, Publius's father was ill with fever and dysentery. Paul went in and prayed for him, and laying his hands on him, he healed him.  Then all the other sick people on the island came and were healed.” – Acts 28:8-9  NLT There are many calls to repentance of sin and warnings against a refusal to repent, in association with healing. “Go and sin no more.” – Jesus often said. New Testament church warned: “That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God's judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.” – 1 Corinthians 11:29-30  NLT Faith, Miracles and Healing given to many NT believers (not just the first 12). “The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing.” – 1 Corinthians 12:9  NLT  “All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it. Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church: first are apostles, second are prophets, third are teachers, then those who do miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those who can help others, those who have the gift of leadership, those who speak in unknown languages.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27–28  NLT Faith is essential in relationship with God. “It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” – Hebrews 11:6  NLT Pray and keep on praying! “Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” – James 5:12-16  NLT Faith: See, Agree, Act  God, I choose to see you for who you say that you are. God, I choose to agree with what you say. God, I choose to take action based on this faith.

What does it mean to be ill? In episode 159 of Overthink, Ellie and David discuss illness. They explore how illness has been mythologized, how it may alienate us from our bodies, and how it impacts social relationships. Is science the solution to the mythologization of illness, or is the scientific model of illness its own form of mythology? How should we conceptualize illness? Is it as a “deviation” from a norm? And if so, what norm? Finally, what can we learn about illness from a phenomenological approach that centers the patient's first-person experience? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts think about the distinction between the mental and the physical in connection to illness and the intersection between mind and body in illness. Works Discussed:Georges Canguilhem, The Normal and the PathologicalHavi Carel, Illness:  The Cry of the Flesh,Susan Sontag, Illness as MetaphorSK Toombs, The Meaning of Illness: A Phenomenological Account of the Different Perspectives of Physician and PatientEnjoy our work?

What happens to your home when your energy disappears?And what if clutter isn't the problem you think it is?This episode was recorded in recognition of World Cancer Day and is for anyone living with illness, chronic fatigue, long COVID, or going through a season where just getting through the day takes everything you've got.When illness enters your life, priorities change.Energy becomes precious.And suddenly, the clutter that's been sitting there for months or years feels heavier than ever.In this episode, I talk honestly about decluttering and organizing when you're unwell and why “keeping on top of the house” is not the goal in hard seasons. I share what I'm seeing right now while supporting women going through cancer treatment, living with chronic illness, or dealing with completely depleted energy levels.This isn't about perfect home organization.It's about creating an intentional home that supports you and your family when capacity is limited.We explore why clutter can feel overwhelming during illness, how organizing can actually become an act of self-care, and why small, thoughtful declutter strategies can make daily life easier without pushing yourself.I also talk about something many women struggle with. Asking for help.What if asking for support isn't failure?What if it's the missing piece when overcoming overwhelm?If you've ever felt guilty because your home doesn't look the way you think it should.If tidying feels impossible on low-energy days.Or if you want a calmer, more supportive environment without adding pressure.This episode is for you.I also reference an earlier episode with my friend Jane, episode 24, where we talked about adapting your home while living with serious illness. Jane was living with MS and using a wheelchair at the time. That conversation is still incredibly powerful, and I've linked it below.You'll also hear why getting your paperwork and everyday systems in order now can support you and your family in ways you might not expect.This is about decluttering with compassion.Organizing with intention.And creating a home that works with you, not against you.Links mentioned in this episode:• Episode 24 with Jane on adapting your home while living with illness• Join my free Facebook group for podcast listenersIf this episode made you think of someone else, share it with them.None of us are meant to do this alone.Thanks for listening!

Let us explore this and much more in a ~20 minute podcast that will broaden your perspective about Goya's haunting yet intriguing painting.

Some people are told they're terminal, and then something inside them changes. Before the scans show progress, before symptoms shift, their bodies stop fighting and start responding. Today, you'll hear what survivors say changed first.In this deeply human episode of Renegade Remission, we explore a pattern that appears again and again in real survivor stories. Long before scans change or symptoms improve, many people describe an internal shift, caused by a reconnection to joy and purpose, or the support of loved ones who lift them up.Drawing from survivor memoirs, medically documented neurological recovery, and decades of research in psychoneuroimmunology, this episode reveals how emotional clarity, connection, and meaning can influence stress hormones, immune behavior, inflammation, and even gene expression.You'll hear two powerful stories. One from a Radical Remission survivor who stabilized after Stage IV cancer when she reclaimed joy and identity beyond illness. Another from a peer-reviewed neurological recovery where emotional safety and human connection supported unexpected brain repair.In this episode, you'll discover:Why healing often begins with a sense of safety rather than force or controlHow emotional shifts can lower cortisol, calm inflammation, and support immune accuracyThe role of purpose and meaning in regulating biology across serious illnessHow compassion and connection trigger measurable physiological changesWhy survivors so often trace recovery back to a moment when something inside softenedYou'll also learn why these shifts are not “just emotional,” and how science now confirms their biological impact across cancer, neurological disease, autoimmune illness, and chronic conditions.Listen now to understand why healing so often starts with safety, purpose, and connection, and how you can gently create the conditions for your own internal shift without pressure, performance, or perfection. This episode offers a grounded reminder that your body is listening, adapting, and still capable of change.Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

In today's Q+A episode, we're answering real questions from real people navigating the messy middle of fitness. From finding the right running shoes and training through injuries, to preserving muscle during fat loss and staying motivated when progress slows—this episode covers a wide range of challenges that almost everyone faces at some point. We talk about why progress often looks different for seasoned lifters, how and when to adjust your training style, and why small, realistic goals are often the missing piece for long-term consistency. We also dive into the role of nutrition during fat loss, how useful fitness trackers really are, and what to do when illness or setbacks derail your routine. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure whether you're doing the "right" thing—this episode will help you zoom out, adapt intelligently, and keep moving forward without starting over. As always, the goal isn't perfection—it's progress you can actually sustain.
