BROKEN AND HEALED: A HEALING PODCAST on TRAUMA, CHRONIC ILLNESS AND SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

In this episode of Broken and Healed, I sit down with celebrity psychic medium Deborah Graham for a fascinating conversation about intuition, energy, relationships, healing, and the unseen forces that may shape our lives.

Deborah has spent more than 30 years working as a psychic medium and relationship expert, helping people navigate love, relationships, career, family, past lives, and the future.

We talk about listening to your gut, recognizing the energy around us, clearing what we carry from the past, trusting what we sense, and what Deborah has learned from decades of working with people searching for answers.

And in true Deborah Graham fashion, she turns the tables and gives me a reading.

Deborah is offering 75% OFF a private reading to Broken and Healed listeners. Just mention “Broken and Healed” when booking.

My memoir, Awakening in an Age of Metals, is the story of my own healing odyssey — from chronic illness and medical gaslighting to an extraordinary search for answers, healing, and meaning.

In this episode of Broken and Healed, Toni and I go deep into channeling, consciousness, childhood trauma, suppressed identity, spirituality, self-worth, the nature of reality, and what can happen when we stop allowing the outside world to define who we are.

Toni shares his journey from growing up during the Lebanese Civil War and struggling to find his voice, to his spiritual awakening and experiences with what he describes as multidimensional beings.

And then...

Toni channels live.

Whether you believe in channeling, extraterrestrial intelligence, past lives—or none of it—this conversation asks a much bigger question:

What becomes possible when we stop suppressing who we really are?

What happens when you are extremely ill—but doctors dismiss you, gaslight you, or pretend the problem is something it’s not? This episode answers EVERY one of those CRAZY-MAKING questions you’ve been asking about detox, mercury, and Lyme.

In this episode of Broken & Healed, I sit down with Connie Fox, a board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner whose work grew out of her own devastating experience with severe mercury toxicity and Lyme disease.

Connie describes suddenly developing debilitating physical, neurological, and psychological symptoms despite having previously considered herself extremely healthy. After more than a year of searching for answers, a practitioner suggested she be tested for heavy metals—beginning what would ultimately become an eight-year healing journey.

Her search took her to more than 90 doctors and eventually to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, whose approach, Connie says, fundamentally changed the way she understood detoxification and helped her recover. She later became a licensed health practitioner herself and has worked with people struggling with metal toxicity since 2008.

This conversation is also deeply personal for me. Years ago, when I was extremely ill and learned that I had very high levels of mercury, I found Connie. She became one of the people who helped me navigate that period of my life.

Drawing on what she learned through that experience, Connie went on to develop her own approach to cellular restoration and detoxification. Today, she works with people navigating mercury and heavy-metal toxicity, with a particular focus on preparing and supporting the body before attempting to remove stored metals.

Can chronic pain and chronic illness begin somewhere beyond the physical body?

In this thought-provoking episode of Broken & Healed, Michelle Katz sits down with neuroscientist, quantum medicine practitioner, and founder of The Dragon Temple, Harmony Onyu Lee, to explore one of the most fascinating frontiers in healing.

Drawing from her background in neuroscience, chemistry, bioinformatics, and epigenetics—as well as her own journey through debilitating chronic illness and trauma—Harmony shares how she came to believe that true healing begins in the quantum field, where time and space no longer limit what's possible.

Together, Michelle and Harmony discuss:

• The energetic roots of chronic pain and chronic illness
• What quantum healing really means—and what it doesn't
• Harmony's remarkable journey from chronic suffering to becoming a quantum healer
• The relationship between trauma, the nervous system, and physical disease
• Why healing often requires both physical and energetic approaches
• Plant medicine, brain retraining, spirituality, and the future of medicine
• Whether science and mysticism can work together to help people heal

Can where you live influence your recovery from chronic illness? Could your environment affect your mitochondria, circadian rhythm, inflammation, and long-term health more than you've been led to believe?

This was one of the most fascinating—and at times, one of the most challenging—conversations I've had on Broken and Healed.

In this ground-breaking episode of Broken and Healed, documentary producer, author, and podcast host Michelle Katz sits down with former neurosurgeon Dr. Jack Kruse, whose work on quantum biology, mitochondrial health, circadian biology, light, water, and the environment has challenged conventional thinking about chronic illness for more than a decade.

Together they explore quantum biology, mitochondria, chronic illness, vaccine injury, EMFs, artificial light, circadian rhythms, magnetism, decentralized medicine, functional medicine, and the future of healing.

Michelle also shares her own twelve-year recovery journey following a severe vaccine injury, creating an honest conversation that explores differing perspectives and invites listeners to think critically and draw their own conclusions.

• Why chronic illness is rising around the world

• The role of mitochondria in health and disease

• Vaccine injury and informed consent

• Quantum biology explained

• Artificial light and circadian health

• EMFs and the modern environment

• The Earth's changing magnetic field

• Why Dr. Kruse believes modern medicine prioritizes pharmaceuticals over physics

• Functional medicine vs. conventional medicine

• Michelle Katz's personal healing journey

• Decentralized medicine and the future of healthcare

There's a story that's been shaping your life.

Together we'll uncover it, transform it, and create a clear blueprint for your memoir, book, keynote, Substack, or next chapter.

What if your greatest setback was actually the doorway to your greatest transformation?

In this inspiring episode of Broken and Healed, Michelle sits down with Kathy Harmon-Luber—certified Sound Therapy & Sound Healing Practitioner, Reiki Master, classically trained flutist, award-winning artist and poet, bestselling author, and wellness guide—to explore the profound intersections of chronic illness, spirituality, ancestral healing, and resilience.

After being told in her twenties that she had the spine of an 80-year-old and would likely end up in a wheelchair, Kathy embarked on a decades-long journey that challenged conventional medicine and ultimately led her to discover the healing potential of sound, energy work, visualization, and deep inner transformation. Together, Michelle and Kathy discuss how our greatest struggles can become our greatest teachers, how ancestral patterns can shape our lives, and why our stories may hold the key to healing ourselves—and others.

• The connection between chronic illness and spiritual awakening
• Sound healing and vibrational medicine
• Recovering hope after devastating diagnoses
• Ancestral trauma and inherited patterns
• Visualization, resilience, and mindset
• Discovering your soul's purpose through adversity
• Why your story may be the medicine someone else needs

Kathy is the bestselling author of Suffering to Thriving: Your Toolkit for Navigating Your Healing Journey and has been featured in Yoga Magazine, Best Holistic Life Magazine, Authority Magazine, MindBodyGreen, On Purpose Woman Magazine, Pretty Woman Hustle Magazine, Woman’s World, Elephant Journal, and on more than 100 top-ranked podcasts internationally.

In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode of Broken and Healed, I sit down with Dr. Brian S. Hooker Chief Scientific Officer at the Children's Health Defense— a scientist, father, and truth-teller whose life was forever changed by his son’s vaccine injury.

This conversation is not just about science.
It’s about what happens when your world collapses — and no one is willing to tell you why.

In this episode, Dr. Hooker shares his journey — from respected academic and believer in the system, to a father forced to question everything after watching his son regress into autism following a series of routine vaccinations. What followed was an eight-year journey of detoxification, investigation, and awakening.

Together, we explore:

• The hidden epidemic of chronic illness in children
• What informed consent really means — and what’s often left out
• The role of environmental toxins, including mercury and aluminum
• The emotional and psychological toll of being dismissed, gaslit, and isolated
• Detoxification, chelation, and the long road back to healing
• What happens when science and lived experience collide

This is a conversation about truth — the kind that doesn’t come easily, and often comes at a cost.

If you’ve ever felt like something didn’t add up…
If you’ve been told your symptoms were “in your head”…
If you’ve walked the long road of healing without clear answers…

This episode is for you. If you or anyone in your family has been touched by autism, mercury toxicity, or chronic illness please share.

This is where it begins. SEASON 2 of Broken and Healed.

In this special bonus episode of Broken and Healed, I share Chapter 1 of my memoir, Awakening in an Age of Metals — a powerful story of chronic illness, medical gaslighting, and the unraveling that leads to spiritual awakening and deep healing.

“Buried Alive” is not just a title — it’s the lived experience of losing your health, your voice, and your sense of reality… while being told nothing is wrong.

This chapter takes you into the moment everything starts to fall apart — when the body breaks down, the system fails to respond, and the truth begins to surface beneath the noise. What unfolds is a deeply personal account of trauma, silence, and the early stages of a healing journey that would ultimately transform everything.

This episode explores:

• Chronic illness and unexplained symptoms
• Medical gaslighting and being dismissed by doctors
• Trauma stored in the body and nervous system
• Loss of identity, voice, and self-trust
• The first threshold of spiritual awakening

The music woven throughout this episode, This Too Shall Pass, was written in the middle of this experience — when I was still inside it, still searching, still holding on.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or like your body was trying to tell a story no one would listen to… this is for you.

In this episode of Broken and Healed, Michelle Katz sits down with RJ Spina — spiritual teacher, metaphysical guide, and author — who experienced complete paralysis following severe spinal cord compression.

After being told he would never walk again, RJ committed himself to an intensive and disciplined inner practice focused on consciousness, awareness, and profound internal transformation.

Within just 90 days, he was walking again — fully recovered.

In this conversation, RJ shares what he calls a prescription for human healing and explores the deeper architecture of recovery.

We explore:

• The role of consciousness in healing the body
• Why we cannot move beyond what we refuse to understand
• The deeper truths humanity has hidden for thousands of years
• And why those revelations feel especially relevant right now

RJ is the author of Supercharged Self-Healing and Change Your Mind, where he outlines the inner mechanics of transformation and the power of consciousness in physical recovery.
