Dr. Kiltz shares his perspective on modern nutrition advice, the role of inflammation, and why he believes animal fat, eating less often, and fasting can be powerful tools for health.

They unpack common root causes behind headaches, brain fog, fatigue, hormone issues, and histamine imbalance, plus why so many people are told “your labs look normal” while still feeling awful.

Dr. Alex was born and raised in Des Plaines, Illinois. He is a bilingual practitioner, fluent in English and Polish. Dr. Alex completed his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in 2022. His journey into Chiropractic began when he witnessed his mother’s quick and complete  recovery under chiropractic care after a minor car accident.

In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino talks with functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole about why chronic symptoms are becoming the norm and why “common” doesn’t mean normal. Dr. Cole breaks down the epigenetic mismatch between our biology and the modern world, including food quality, environmental toxins (like mold), and chronic stress and trauma.

They also discuss the “big bucket vs small bucket” concept, why some people are hit harder by exposures, and why conventional medicine often misses the root causes behind fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Cole shares what he’s been saying for years that is now mainstream, plus what he’s building next with Longevity RX.

In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Evan Hirsch to break down what he calls the “Toxic Five,” the root drivers he sees behind long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome: heavy metals, chemicals, molds, infections, and nervous system dysfunction (trauma).

Dr. Hirsch explains where common exposures come from (including mercury from dental fillings and higher mercury levels in larger fish), why toxic burden can start before birth, and how chemicals and plastics accumulate over time. He also shares why testing can be imperfect and why relying too heavily on labs can leave people stuck, plus what he believes actually moves the needle when someone has chronic fatigue or long COVID symptoms.

They also dive into mold, why proper remediation matters, and why incomplete remediation can keep people in a cycle of re-exposure and stalled progress.

In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino interviews healthcare entrepreneur Vivienne Reign about why modern “healthcare” often functions as sick care and why so many people feel worse than ever despite medical advances.

Vivienne breaks down the insurance model, the mindset shift required to pursue real wellness, and the difference between proactive biohacking vs reactive medical intervention. They also dive deep into red light therapy, including what makes a device legitimate (wavelength, dose, distance, power, and FDA clearance), how to avoid low-quality products, and how red light can support circulation, inflammation, pain, and neuropathy outcomes.

This conversation also covers pelvic floor dysfunction in men and women, why common advice like kegels misses key involuntary muscles, and how improving pelvic floor function can impact sleep quality, incontinence, and long-term quality of life.

If you feel like you pay for insurance but still have to figure out your health on your own, this episode will help you rethink the system and take back control.

🔵 Vivienne Reign:
Vivienne is a healthcare entrepreneur and founder focused on making science-backed wellness and innovative treatments more accessible. With a background in sales and building high-performing clinics, she helps bridge the gap between what patients need and what the traditional system delivers, with an emphasis on outcomes, education, and proactive health.

In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Christy Hutchison, a realtor who specializes in helping people impacted by mold illness and CIRS find homes they can actually heal in.

Christy shares her personal journey of years of unexplained symptoms, how she realized the environment was a major factor, and why she now approaches real estate completely differently. Together, they break down what most inspections miss, why “new” homes are not automatically safer, and the exact strategies Christy uses to protect her clients during the buying process.

You will learn:
1. Why standard home inspections often miss hidden water damage
2. How to build an inspection “super team” (roof, HVAC, mold, and more)
3. Common red flags in homes, even in newer builds
4. How PTSD and nervous system stress show up after mold exposure
5. Practical prevention tools like leak sensors, trays, and humidity monitoring
6. How The Guardian works as an indoor air quality monitoring and alert system
7. Christy’s goal is simple: help people avoid the path she went through and give them real hope that safe homes exist.
