Clean Kitchen Podcast

73: In this episode, I’m joined by Kim Rogers, a wellness expert with over 20 years of experience in Western medicine. Kim takes us through her transformative journey, moving from traditional medicine to holistic healing after facing her own health challenges in 2019.

Kim founded RogersHood Apothecary in 2021 and created the ParaFy Cleanse Kit, an herbal remedy targeting parasites, candida, heavy metals, and more. The kit went viral on TikTok and Instagram, earning Kim the nickname "Worm Queen" and sparking a massive interest in parasite cleanses.

We dive deep into parasites—what they are, their connection to chronic disease, and how herbal cleanses can make a difference. Kim also shares insights from her personal cleanse journey, tips on deworming pets, the importance of water filtration, and much more.

72: At just four years old, Alex Conley was diagnosed with leukemia and spent years in treatment. That experience shaped everything—from his mindset to his mission. In this episode, Alex shares how surviving cancer led him to launch Kono Nutrition, a supplement brand focused on clean, effective ingredients and real gut healing.

We get into the origin of Kono, the science behind gut health, and why so many supplements on the market miss the mark. Alex breaks down what to look for in a quality product, how adaptogens and herbal formulas actually work, and why listening to your body matters more than following trends. It’s a conversation about healing, resilience, and building a wellness routine that actually supports your system.

We talk about sugar - why a few grams might not kill you, but the real issue lies in how much is hidden in everyday foods and how little nutrition comes with it. You’ll also hear thoughts on electrolyte dos and don’ts, fasting for women, and what Kyle actually does when it comes to doctor visits.
