What happens when a physician's clinical judgment conflicts with institutional policy? In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. John Humiston to discuss his journey from conventional family medicine into integrative care, his philosophy of treating root causes rather than symptoms, and the events that ultimately led to the suspension of his medical license after issuing vaccine exemptions based on individualized patient assessments. Their conversation explores the evolving relationship between medicine, patient autonomy, informed consent, physician free speech, and the importance of maintaining integrity when making difficult clinical decisions. Regardless of where listeners stand on these issues, this episode invites thoughtful discussion about the role of physicians, ethics, and individualized care in modern healthcare.

Dr. John Humiston, DO, is a board-certified family physician with nearly three decades of clinical experience in conventional and integrative medicine. After serving as a battalion surgeon in the U.S. Marine Corps and practicing family medicine across California, Indiana, and Mexico, he developed a passion for identifying the root causes of chronic illness rather than simply treating symptoms. Throughout his career, Dr. Humiston has integrated nutrition, herbal medicine, hormone optimization, brain health, and functional therapies into patient care while advocating for individualized medicine, informed consent, and physician autonomy.

What if chronic pain isn’t caused by aging—but by tissues that never fully healed? In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with osteopathic physician Dr. David Nebbeling to explore how osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), prolotherapy, neurotherapy, and regenerative medicine help the body repair itself instead of simply masking symptoms. They discuss why structure and function are inseparable, how scars and the nervous system can become hidden pain generators, and why many patients continue to hurt even after surgery or injections. From ligament healing to platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells, and the philosophy behind osteopathic medicine, this conversation highlights a truly root-cause approach to pain and recovery. 

Dr. David Nebbeling, DO, is a pioneering osteopathic physician and the founder of Advanced Osteopathic Health in Lansing, Michigan. With nearly four decades of clinical experience, he has dedicated his career to helping patients move beyond symptom management by addressing the root causes of chronic pain. Combining osteopathic manipulative medicine, prolotherapy, neurotherapy, ozone therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and regenerative medicine, Dr. Nebbeling specializes in restoring structural integrity and supporting the body's innate healing capacity. He is also an educator, speaker, and longtime mentor in regenerative medicine and osteopathic principles.

When most people think about hormone balance, they think about estrogen. But according to pharmacist and hormone expert Carol Petersen, progesterone may be the hormone women need most—and the one most often overlooked. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Carol to discuss the critical role progesterone plays in perimenopause, menopause, PMS, heavy menstrual bleeding, fertility, sleep, mood, and nervous system health. They explore why progesterone deficiency often begins long before menopause, how chronic stress impacts hormone production, and why many women are being undertreated or improperly balanced with hormone therapy. This conversation offers a fresh perspective on bioidentical hormones and what true hormone balance really looks like.

Carol Petersen, RPh, CNP, is a compounding pharmacist, certified nutritional practitioner, and founder of The Wellness by Design Project. With more than three decades of experience specializing in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Carol has become a respected voice in women’s health and personalized medicine. Through education, coaching, writing, and clinical consultation, she helps women better understand hormone balance, navigate perimenopause and menopause, and make informed decisions about their health.

Biomagnetism may sound unusual at first, but Dr. Luis Garcia believes it is one of the missing tools for restoring balance in a stressed, toxic, and EMF-heavy world. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Dr. Garcia about how strategic pairs of magnets may help support homeostasis, pH balance, inflammation, detoxification, and cellular energy. They discuss how magnetic fields interact with the body, why modern environments may deplete our natural magnetic charge, and how biomagnetism differs from grounding, magnetic jewelry, and other frequency-based tools. This conversation offers a fascinating look at energy medicine, magnetism, and the body’s innate ability to return to balance. 

Dr. Luis F. Garcia is a conventional medical doctor turned holistic practitioner and educator specializing in biomagnetism. After earning his medical degree in Colombia and serving as a medical clinic director, he began exploring integrative tools beyond conventional prescriptions, including ozone, IV therapies, neurofeedback, acupuncture, homeopathy, and biomagnetism. As the founder of Biomagnetism and Beyond, Dr. Garcia teaches practitioners worldwide how to use magnetism, pH balance, and energy medicine to support the body’s natural healing capacity.

Autoimmune disease often starts long before symptoms become obvious, and advanced testing may help uncover the hidden triggers driving inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and chronic illness. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Rubina Vojdani of Immunosciences Lab about how viruses like EBV, HHV-6, SARS-CoV-2, and Lyme-related infections can contribute to immune dysregulation, molecular mimicry, neuroinflammation, and autoimmune patterns. They discuss why conventional screening may miss key clues, how advanced panels can help identify root causes, and why monitoring markers over time can empower both practitioners and patients to intervene earlier and more precisely. 

Rubina Vojdani is the Lab Manager and Marketing Director at Immunosciences Lab, a clinical laboratory focused on functional immunology, autoimmunity, viral triggers, Lyme disease, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Working alongside her father, world-renowned immunologist Dr. Aristo Vojdani, Rubina helps bridge complex laboratory science with real-world clinical practice. Her work focuses on helping practitioners better understand how infections, environmental factors, and immune dysregulation contribute to chronic disease.

Algae is often overlooked, but it may be one of the most powerful tools for supporting energy, detoxification, and cellular health. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits, to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why these ancient organisms are gaining attention in modern health. They explore how algae supports mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress through compounds like superoxide dismutase (SOD), and helps the body manage toxins and nutrient deficiencies. Catharine also explains the key differences between spirulina and chlorella, how each impacts the body, and how to incorporate algae into a daily routine for sustained energy, metabolic resilience, and long-term wellness.

Catharine Arnston, PhD, is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, a premium algae nutrition company. After a 25-year corporate career, she pivoted into health and wellness following her sister’s breast cancer diagnosis, which led her to discover the powerful benefits of algae.
