The Dr. K Show

This episode of the Dr. K show features Dr. David Cunningham, who discusses the central message of his book "Your Love Does Matter," emphasizing that love is not merely an emotion but a fundamental way of being. Dr. Cunningham explains that true happiness and fulfillment are rooted in who we are as individuals, rather than in what we possess or accomplish. 

He encourages listeners to focus on cultivating love as a core aspect of their identity, which in turn positively influences both personal well-being and the broader community. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Cunningham addresses the societal barriers that hinder the expression of love, such as judgments, resentments, and limiting beliefs. He advocates for removing these obstacles to foster a more loving and compassionate society. By sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice, he illustrates how individuals can choose to be loving, regardless of external circumstances or the actions of others, thereby creating a "love footprint" that leaves a lasting impact. 

The discussion delves into the neuroscience behind love, with Dr. Cunningham explaining how the brain is wired for survival and often prioritizes being right over being loving. He suggests that by re-educating the brain to value love above the need to be correct, people can experience greater fulfillment and healthier relationships. This shift in mindset, he argues, is essential for overcoming stress, fear, and the divisiveness that pervades modern society. Dr. Cunningham also explores the challenges of communication, the influence of media, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries while maintaining a loving disposition. He emphasizes that love does not mean tolerating harmful behavior but involves respecting oneself and others. 

The conversation highlights the significance of language, encouraging listeners to focus on what works and what brings life to the most people, rather than labeling things as simply good or bad. In the latter part of the episode, Dr. Cunningham shares his initiatives to promote love in politics, including sending his book to every member of Congress and launching the "Love Goes to the Capitol" project. He invites others to join him in spreading love through similar acts in their own communities. The episode concludes with an introduction to his transformational program, "The Awakening," and guided meditations designed to help individuals access health, peace, joy, and love, reinforcing the transformative power of adopting love as a way of being.

This episode of the Dr. K Show features a compelling conversation between Dr. Michael Karlfeldt and Dr. Aimie Apigian, focusing on the intricate relationship between stress, trauma, and overall health. Dr. Apigian, who recently launched a book on the biology of trauma, shares her personal journey of confusion between stress and trauma, which led to burnout and health issues. She emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between these two states, as understanding the difference is crucial for effective health management and recovery. 

The discussion delves into the physiological and psychological mechanisms that differentiate stress from trauma. Dr. Apigian outlines the five steps the body undergoes during a trauma response, explaining that stress is just one component of this process. She uses real-life examples, such as a veteran’s muscle injury and the experience of receiving a cancer diagnosis, to illustrate how the body and mind react to perceived threats. These responses can lead to feelings of powerlessness, shifts in metabolism, and the adoption of various survival strategies. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the cellular and metabolic changes that occur during trauma. 

Dr. Apigian explains the concept of the cell danger response, where the body conserves energy, leading to symptoms like heaviness and depression. The conversation highlights how unresolved trauma can accumulate over time, increasing the risk of chronic diseases and impacting both physical and emotional well-being. The role of the immune system and mitochondria in these processes is also discussed, underscoring the biological complexity of trauma. The impact of early life experiences and attachment on trauma responses is another key theme. Dr. Apigian discusses how past experiences and deeply held beliefs shape an individual’s perception of danger and influence their physiological reactions. Addressing these early influences is presented as essential for resolving trauma and improving long-term health outcomes. The episode also introduces an assessment tool for measuring trauma burden and stresses the importance of focusing on the impact of trauma rather than specific events. In conclusion, the conversation underscores the necessity of a safe and supportive environment for trauma therapy. 

Dr. Apigian compares trauma therapy to surgery, emphasizing the need for stabilization before addressing deep-seated issues. She highlights the importance of agency, self-efficacy, and the development of skills and resources to manage trauma. The episode wraps up with recommendations for further reading and resources, encouraging listeners to explore Dr. Apigian's book and continue their journey toward self-discovery and healing.

This episode features Dr. Michael Karlfeldt as he is hosting Deena Shoemaker. They delve into Deena’s remarkable journey of faith-based healing and her experiences chronicled in her book, "Encounters with God." Deena recounts her background as a lifelong Christian and shares how her faith played a pivotal role in her recovery from severe nerve pain. She describes attending a Christian healing conference, where, after persistent prayer and a powerful encounter with a woman possessing a deliverance anointing, she experienced a miraculous and complete healing from chronic pain and dystrophy in her ankle. 

Throughout the conversation, Deena and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss the importance of incorporating God’s healing power into therapeutic practices, especially for patients facing serious illnesses like cancer. Deena emphasizes that healing is not just a phenomenon of biblical times but is accessible today through faith, prayer, and a deep relationship with God. She shares practical steps for seeking healing, such as gratitude, worship, and rebuking the enemy, and highlights the need to listen to the Holy Spirit to discern the root causes of sickness and disease. Deena explains that illness can stem from various sources, including natural causes, lack of proper nutrition, or spiritual attacks from the enemy. She stresses the importance of spiritual discernment and using different types of prayer depending on the source of the ailment. 

The discussion also touches on the historical context of the church’s teachings about sickness, noting a shift in perspective around 400 AD that began to view illness as God’s will, a notion Deena challenges through her testimony and scriptural references. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to understanding how God communicates with individuals. Deena shares her experiences of hearing God’s voice, receiving visions, and feeling the Holy Spirit’s presence. She offers advice on discerning God’s voice, using scriptural tests, and maintaining a posture of gratitude and worship to draw closer to God. Both Deena and Dr. Karlfeldt underscore the importance of knowing one’s identity in Christ and recognizing the authority believers have to seek and maintain healing. 

The episode concludes with Deena offering a heartfelt prayer for listeners, asking for healing and the removal of sickness in the name of Jesus Christ. She encourages listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God, embrace their authority in Christ, and expect healing as a manifestation of God’s love and goodness. The conversation serves as an inspiring testament to the power of faith, the reality of modern-day miracles, and the enduring hope found in spiritual community and belief.

In today's episode of the Dr. K Show with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt Dr. Bradley Nelson joins the conversation.

Dr. Bradley Nelson is a world-renowned holistic physician, speaker, and bestselling author known for creating some of the most widely used methods in energy healing today. He is the creator of The Emotion Code®, The Body Code™, and The Belief Code®, and CEO of Discover Healing. His newest book, The Heart Code: The Breakthrough Method to Open Your Heart and Transform Your Life (Dec. 2, 2025), focuses on the powerful impact of the Heart-Wall—a protective barrier of emotional energy that can block love, connection, success and healing. This book is now available for preorder with special gifts from the author. Learn more at drbradleynelson.com.

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Nelson explains how heart walls are created by layers of emotional energy, often as a protective mechanism in response to trauma or stress. He draws on ancient beliefs and modern science, noting that the heart is not only the seat of love and creativity but also contains gray and white matter, suggesting a deeper connection between the heart and the mind. He recounts stories of individuals whose lives improved dramatically after clearing their heart walls, highlighting the profound impact this process can have on relationships, health, and even financial stability. 

Dr. Nelson delves into the science behind emotional energy, referencing quantum physics and the idea that everything, including our bodies, is fundamentally energy. He describes how trapped emotions can distort the body’s energy field, leading to pain, depression, anxiety, and other issues. The heart wall, he argues, can block the flow of energy, preventing people from experiencing love, joy, and optimal health. By understanding and addressing these energetic blockages, individuals can unlock greater potential for healing and happiness. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the practical application of Dr. Nelson’s methods. He emphasizes that "The Heart Code" is designed as a self-help tool, empowering readers to learn and practice the techniques themselves or with the help of certified practitioners. The book includes numerous testimonials and stories of transformation, illustrating the accessibility and effectiveness of his approach. Dr. Nelson’s vision extends beyond individual healing; he aspires to open 100 million hearts, fostering a global shift toward a world ruled by love and compassion. In conclusion, Dr. Nelson encourages listeners to pre-order "The Heart Code" and take proactive steps toward emotional healing. He offers incentives such as free heart wall sessions for bulk orders and expresses gratitude for the opportunity to share his message. 

The episode closes with a call to action, inviting everyone to recognize the divine nature of the body, treat it as a temple, and embrace the journey of healing for themselves and the world at large.

Salima shares her journey into healing began with a deep love for service, which she discovered early in life through her work in special education and hospice care for children. Her experiences in these fields revealed her innate healing abilities and led her to explore alternative forms of healing. 

This exploration eventually brought her into contact with healers from around the world and, most significantly, a Sufi Master Healer who introduced her to the transformative power of Sufism.

A central theme of the discussion is the role of the heart in healing, both emotionally and physically.

Salima offers practical steps for heart alignment and healing, including the use of sound, sacred names, and daily remembrance practices.

She encourages listeners to let go of fear and ego, trusting the truth that emerges from the heart. The conversation concludes with reflections on the process of dying, the importance of letting go, and the daily practice of Sufism. Salima describes how hospice patients often experience profound moments of clarity and peace as they approach death, and she shares her Sufi master’s perspective on the ecstasy of the soul. She stresses the value of living a life of love and unity, preparing for a peaceful transition. Finally, Salima encourages listeners to incorporate remembrance into their daily routines, trust their inner wisdom, and seek spiritual support, especially when facing serious illness or life’s challenges.

Today's guest is Dane Johnson, the driving force behind the Shield program. Dane shares his deeply personal journey with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease in this episode. He recounts the onset of his symptoms, the confusion and frustration of multiple diagnoses, and the emotional and physical toll the diseases took on his life. Despite facing severe weight loss, being housebound, and enduring a barrage of treatments—including mesalamine, 6 MP, Remicade, azathioprine, and TPN feeding tube—Dane’s determination to survive and heal never wavered. 

His story is marked by the unwavering support of his family and the financial strain of pursuing both conventional and natural therapies. The conversation delves into the debilitating nature of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting not only the physical symptoms but also the anxiety, isolation, and impact on daily life.

A significant portion of the discussion centers on the importance of customizing diet and lifestyle to individual needs. 

Dane shares his experiences with various diets—fruitarian, carnivore, paleo, and specific carbohydrate diets—and advocates for self-empowerment in managing one’s health. The Shield program, which he developed, incorporates supplements, herbs, imagination, exercise, lifestyle, and diet, all tailored to each member’s unique situation. Community support is highlighted as a key factor in the healing journey, with the program fostering member-to-member communication and sharing of success stories. The episode concludes with a focus on the broader factors influencing health, such as environmental toxins and the rise of autoimmune diseases. Dane discusses the importance of rebuilding a healthier lifestyle and environment, maintaining a positive mindset, and celebrating small victories. He encourages listeners to take responsibility for their health, seek out supportive communities, and embrace a message of hope. The Shield program’s success stories and its emphasis on conscious capitalism and future generations serve as an inspiration for anyone struggling with chronic illness, offering a vision of lasting health improvements and a supportive path forward.

This episode of the Dr. K show features an in-depth conversation with Rita Hogan, an herbalist and author of "Herbal Dog," who shares her journey and expertise in holistic animal health. The discussion opens with Rita reflecting on her experiences touring and promoting her book, which encapsulates two decades of work dedicated to improving the health and well-being of dogs. She describes the excitement and fulfillment of seeing her work published and the opportunity to connect with audiences worldwide who are eager to learn about natural approaches to animal care. 

Rita’s inspiration for writing the book stemmed from her time in rural Tennessee, where she observed a rise in chronic illnesses among dogs, including cancer and autoimmune diseases. She noticed that many of the same health issues affecting humans were increasingly present in their pets, often mirroring the emotional and physical states of their owners. This realization led her to apply her herbal knowledge to animals, focusing on organ health, system balance, and the interconnectedness of all bodily functions. A significant portion of the conversation addresses the impact of spaying and neutering on dogs’ long-term health, particularly regarding hormone balance and the increased risk of certain cancers. 

Rita emphasizes the importance of supporting the endocrine system with herbs and supplements, advocating for responsible pet ownership and a more mindful approach to these common procedures. She also critiques the "one-size-fits-all" mentality in both conventional and natural medicine, arguing for individualized care based on each animal’s unique constitution, environment, and needs. The episode offers practical advice for dog owners, including how to assess a dog’s temperament (warm vs. cool), the importance of diet and terrain (internal environment), and the value of preventative care. Rita discusses common conditions such as leaky gut, yeast overgrowth, and sensitivities, and highlights the role of the nervous system in overall health. She encourages owners to observe their pets closely, support organ systems proactively, and use herbs thoughtfully to address both symptoms and underlying imbalances. 

In conclusion, Rita underscores the deep connection between humans and their animals, noting that pets often reflect and even absorb their owners’ emotional and physical burdens. She advocates for a holistic, individualized approach to animal care that prioritizes organ health, emotional well-being, and the use of natural remedies. Her insights aim to empower pet owners to take a more active, informed role in their dogs’ health, fostering resilience and vitality for both animals and their human companions.

Dr. Ralf Kleef, a prominent figure in immunotherapy, shares his extensive experience in integrative cancer treatment, focusing on the synergy between conventional and holistic approaches. He recounts his journey working with over 20,000 cancer patients, emphasizing the importance of combining medical innovation with patient-centered care. Dr. Kleef’s philosophy centers on treating the whole person, not just the disease, and he advocates for therapies that enhance the body’s natural healing mechanisms. A key aspect of Dr. Kleef’s approach is the use of fever and hyperthermia as therapeutic tools. He explains how inducing controlled fevers can stimulate the immune system, making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment. 

By integrating low-dose checkpoint inhibitors with hyperthermia and interleukin-2, Dr. Kleef has observed improved immune responses in his patients. This method, he argues, can increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy while minimizing the risks associated with higher drug dosages. Dr. Kleef is critical of the current mainstream use of checkpoint inhibitors, noting that only about 20% of patients benefit from these expensive and often toxic drugs. He highlights the need for more personalized and cost-effective treatment strategies that reduce side effects and improve patient outcomes. His work demonstrates that lower doses, when combined with supportive therapies like hyperthermia, can be both safer and more effective. 

Beyond medical interventions, Dr. Kleef underscores the significance of lifestyle factors in cancer care. He advocates for comprehensive support that includes nutrition, stress management, and fostering a positive mindset. According to Dr. Kleef, these elements are crucial for enhancing the body’s resilience and optimizing the results of medical treatments. He encourages patients to take an active role in their healing journey, supported by a multidisciplinary team. 

Finally, Dr. Kleef calls for greater emphasis on primary cancer prevention and more research into integrative therapies. He believes that the future of oncology lies in a holistic, patient-centered model that combines the best of conventional medicine with innovative, evidence-based integrative practices. His vision is to transform cancer care into a more effective, compassionate, and sustainable system for patients worldwide.

Dr. Nasha Winters, a renowned authority in integrative cancer care, shares her personal and professional journey that led to the creation of a groundbreaking metabolic oncology hospital in southeast Arizona. Her vision is to blend standard cancer treatments with advanced integrative therapies, offering a holistic approach to patient care. The hospital, set on a sprawling 300-acre campus, is designed to foster healing not only through medical interventions but also by incorporating regenerative farming and electromagnetic field (EMF) mitigation to create a nurturing environment for patients. 

A central theme of Dr. Winters’ approach is the importance of addressing both emotional and metabolic factors in cancer treatment. She highlights the critical role of the vagus nerve in regulating stress and healing, as well as the influence of epigenetics on cancer progression and recovery. By focusing on these often-overlooked aspects, Dr. Winters aims to empower patients to take an active role in their healing journey, emphasizing that true wellness extends beyond conventional medical protocols. The hospital’s philosophy is rooted in a personalized, data-driven methodology. Dr. Winters advocates for a “test, assess, address” model, where extensive patient data is collected and analyzed to tailor treatments to each individual’s unique needs. This approach ensures that therapies are not only evidence-based but also customized, maximizing the potential for positive outcomes. 

The integration of advanced diagnostics and continuous assessment allows for dynamic adjustments to treatment plans, reflecting the evolving nature of each patient’s condition. Collaboration and research are also at the heart of Dr. Winters’ mission. She envisions the hospital as a hub for innovation, where practitioners from diverse backgrounds can work together to advance the field of integrative oncology. By fostering partnerships and sharing knowledge, the facility aims to set new standards in cancer care and contribute to the global understanding of metabolic therapies and holistic healing. Ultimately, Dr. Winters’ work represents a paradigm shift in how cancer is treated, moving away from a one-size-fits-all model toward a more nuanced, patient-centered approach. Her commitment to integrating emotional, metabolic, and environmental factors into cancer care offers hope for improved patient outcomes and a more compassionate, effective healthcare system.
