At the height of her wellness career, Taylor Dukes was thriving—until a routine scan revealed a brain tumor that had been growing undetected for nearly a decade. In this episode, Travis Patterson sits down with the functional medicine nurse practitioner to trace her journey back to her early 20s, when a mysterious illness first pushed her to seek answers beyond conventional medicine.

Taylor shares how functional medicine not only helped her heal, but completely transformed her career—leading her to launch a wellness center, build a national health brand, and guide thousands toward root-cause healing. They also dive into the growing health crisis in America, exploring how the legal and regulatory landscape in the United States have allowed for toxins in our food, homes, and environment that drive chronic illness.

From rebuilding her own health to empowering others with practical tools, Taylor’s story is a powerful reminder that we have more control over our wellness than we think.
