What if I told you that fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue aren't actually diseases, but symptoms of something hiding in plain sight?

My guest today is Dr. Peter Osborne, known as "The Gluten Free Warrior," and he's about to blow your mind with what he's discovered about mold toxicity. If you've been struggling with autoimmune symptoms that won't budge despite making all the right diet changes, this episode might be the missing piece of your puzzle.

Dr. Osborne breaks down the three distinct ways mold affects your health (hint: it's not just allergies), why those quick air tests are basically useless, and the shocking reality that at least 50% of buildings have water damage issues. We also dive into his six non-negotiable fundamentals for health that everyone needs to hear. This conversation could literally save your life or the life of someone you love.

When a reproductive endocrinologist shrugs and says "unexplained infertility," it doesn't mean there's no answer - they're just looking in the wrong places.

In this episode I'm talking with Dr. Susan Fox, a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert with 23 years of fertility experience, about how ancient medicine patterns can solve fertility challenges that conventional medicine can't explain.

Susan's own unexplained autoimmune condition led her to discover TCM, and now she's revolutionized fertility care with an integrated approach that combines the best of Eastern and Western medicine. Her results? A 42% increase in live birth rates with her online program. We dive into the real causes behind fertility struggles - from environmental toxins like microplastics showing up in places they shouldn't be, to autoimmune factors that conventional testing completely misses.

Plus, Susan shares practical strategies you can start today to support your fertility naturally. This is essential listening whether you're trying to conceive, supporting someone who is, or want to understand how modern life is affecting our reproductive health.

I had the most fascinating conversation with Dr. Lé Santha Naidoo about something I see constantly in my practice: high-achieving women who've learned to "handle everything" but struggle to receive help—and how this pattern can literally make us sick.

Dr. Naidoo is triple-board certified and author of "Fat to Fabulous," but what struck me most was her vulnerability in sharing her own healing journey. After losing a pregnancy in a car accident, she suffered 9 years of undiagnosed pain. When she finally had surgery, her community showed up in ways she never expected—and their support accelerated her healing more than any prescription could.

We dive deep into how childhood trauma creates patterns that affect our health decades later, why purpose matters more than hormones for many symptoms, and how community support isn't just nice to have—it's essential medicine.

If you've ever felt like you need to "have it all together," this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about strength and healing.

After 30 years in emergency medicine, Dr Newman learned a hard truth: She could save patients through their crisis, but they never actually got better. They'd leave with longer medication lists, only to return sicker. It wasn't until her own health crashed during menopause that she discovered cellular medicine - the missing piece that explains why we stay sick.

In this conversation with Dr. Siobhan Newman, you'll discover why your mitochondria might be "underwater," her three dietary "nos" that are silently destroying your cellular health, and the recovery-first approach that must happen before any optimization.

We dive deep into the inflammatory cascade, why COVID taught us so much about immune dysfunction, and practical steps you can take today to support true healing at the cellular level. If you're tired of managing symptoms instead of addressing root causes, this episode will change everything.

In this episode, Gina Worful explains the real science behind why we lose control around food, and it has nothing to do with weakness.

When stress hits, your brain shifts from logical decision-making to survival mode, making food taste better and shutting off fullness signals.

You'll discover why your prefrontal cortex goes offline during stress, how to recognize early warning signs before cravings overwhelm you, and Gina's 3-step method to regulate your nervous system and make conscious food choices.

This completely reframes self-sabotage as self-protection and teaches you to work with your body's natural responses.

I had goosebumps during this conversation with Johanna Dahlman, the Alopecia Angel.

Her story from devastating hair loss diagnosis to growing thick hair an inch per month shows what's possible when you stop treating symptoms and start healing root causes. What really amazed me is that 90% of her clients see hair growth in under 8 weeks. Not through quick fixes, but by identifying blind spots like medications (birth control, SSRIs), hair products in active lawsuits, breast implants triggering autoimmune responses, and environmental toxins we never consider.

This isn't just about hair though; it's about whole health. Her clients don't just regrow hair, they get their energy back, joint pain disappears, and they show up differently in relationships and careers. If you're dealing with any type of hair loss or autoimmunity, this conversation will shift how you think about healing.

She shares her Magic Plate nutrition approach, how to spot hormone-disrupting products in your home, and why belief in your body's healing ability comes first.

Whether you're trying to conceive or just want to optimize your health, this conversation gives you practical tools to work WITH your body instead of against it.

Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joins me today to break down why your menstrual cycle is actually the key to optimizing your workouts, timing your nutrition, and finally making progress with stubborn weight loss.

She explains why the "hustle harder" mentality works for men but can backfire for women, especially during perimenopause.

You'll learn why your stress resistance changes throughout your cycle, why daily intermittent fasting might sabotage your goals, and how to time everything from HIIT workouts to longer fasts. We also dive into why every woman needs to lift weights and red flags about hormone advice on social media. If what used to work isn't working anymore, this episode gives you a new framework for working with your body's rhythms.
