What happens when your body breaks down and no one believes you?

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway sits down with Bob Reynolds, a former nuclear chemist turned self-healing advocate, to uncover how a man on the brink of death rebuilt his life using faith, functional healing, and radical self-care.

Bob shares how a vaccine-triggered health collapse, a VA system that failed him, and spiritual awakenings led him on a 30-year journey of discovery—learning to treat his body like a power plant, track hidden toxins, and fight for his life when everyone else had written him off.
