Healing doesn’t fail because people aren’t trying hard enough.

It fails because we’ve misunderstood what healing actually requires.

In this episode, Ian Clark sits down with somatic and detox practitioner Eva Hooft to explore why so many people burn out, crash, or feel worse after doing everything “right” for their health.

Eva shares her personal journey through chronic illness, aggressive detox protocols, and a complete nervous system collapse, and how that experience reshaped her understanding of true healing. Together, they unpack why pushing the body too hard can backfire, why supplements can suddenly stop working, and why safety in the nervous system is a prerequisite for real recovery.

This conversation goes beyond protocols and lab results and into the deeper layers of healing. Ian and Eva discuss the role of fear, trauma, and unresolved emotion in chronic symptoms, why the body stores toxins beyond what blood work can show, and how mineral balance, bile flow, and proper drainage support the body without force.

They also explore the importance of purpose, alignment, and meaning in health, and why healing often accelerates when people stop fighting their bodies and start cooperating with them.

This episode reframes health as a process of nourishment, trust, and patience, not intensity, deprivation, or fear.

“You cannot detox a system that doesn’t feel safe. Healing happens when the body is nourished, supported, and no longer afraid.” — Eva Hooft
