#136 Can You Really Catch a Cold? Rethinking Contagion with Daniel Roytas


Listen Later

You've heard it your whole life: "Don't get too close, you'll catch a cold."

But what if that's not how sickness works at all? What if health isn't about dodging germs, but about creating an environment your body actually feels safe in?

Today, I'm sitting down with Daniel Roytas, author of Can You Catch a Cold? and a natural medicine practitioner who's challenging one of the biggest medical assumptions of our time—the idea of contagion itself.

We're talking about what the research really shows about colds and flu, why sick people don't necessarily make healthy people sick, and how your environment, your emotions, and your beliefs play a far bigger role in healing than you've ever been told.

This isn't about fear. It's about freedom- from false narratives, from medical myths, and from the belief that your body is broken.

If you're ready to question the story you were raised with and see illness through a completely new lens, this conversation will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your power to heal.

🧾 Guest Bio Daniel Roytas is a natural medicine practitioner, researcher, and author who challenges conventional germ theory and helps people rediscover the body's innate intelligence. His work explores terrain theory, environmental health, and the deep connection between mindset, belief, and healing. Through his teaching and practice, Daniel empowers others to understand that health isn't something you fight for—it's something you create from within.
