Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. This week, I’m joined by Dr. Evan Hirsch, a board-certified holistic and integrative physician who’s walked the talk of healing from severe chronic fatigue. After five years of debilitating illness that left him sleeping under his desk, Dr. Hirsch discovered the powerful interplay between environmental toxins, infections, and the nervous system — what he now calls The Toxic Five.

In our conversation, we explore the real science behind fatigue and burnout, why most lab testing is unreliable, and how Dr. Hirsch helps patients recover naturally without endless supplements or expensive diagnostics. We also talk about mindset, resilience, and the importance of emotional regulation — how nervous system retraining can be the single most important step toward recovery.

This is a masterclass in root-cause healing. If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” but you know something is off, this episode offers a roadmap to understanding your biology and reclaiming your energy.
