Dr. Brad sits down with Dr. Michael Haley for a candid, fast-moving conversation on what actually heals the gut. They unpack why the gut is the hardest organ system to repair, why “just take a probiotic” rarely works, how to think about muscle testing vs. conventional labs, and the surprising role of faith, listening, and real-world quality control in both healthcare and nutrition. If you’ve felt lost in protocols and products, this one reframes gut healing from the inside out.

Key Takeaways

• Gut integrity first: The gut renews quickly, but persistent inflammation, leaky gut, and microbial imbalance make it the hardest organ system to truly heal. You must calm immunity, restore microvilli, and re-establish healthy flora, in the right order.
• Probiotics aren’t a silver bullet: Crowding out “bad bugs” requires the right anti-microbial support plus flora that can actually colonize. Quality matters more than marketing.
• Testing with integrity: Lab tests define symptoms, not roots. Muscle testing can be powerful when done without bias and paired with sound physiology and cross-checks.
• Personalization over protocols: No single cookbook plan works. Therapeutics should change as the body changes.
• Foundations drive outcomes: Food intolerances, detox capacity (gut wall, colon wall, microbiome, liver), and stress all determine whether anything else works.
• Faith and discernment: A lifestyle of prayer, fasting, and careful listening helps clinicians and patients surface the “hidden data” that drives better decisions.
• Quality over convenience: Product sourcing and manufacturing shortcuts show up as poor clinical results. Choose integrity, even if it costs more.

-------------------

• 00:00 – Opening & Welcome
• 03:36 – The Problem with Most Probiotics
• 07:10 – The Integrity of Muscle Testing
• 16:31 – Lessons in Stewardship and Quality
• 20:00 – The Circle of Life: From Dust to Life Again
• 25:48 – The Hydration Debate
• 29:52 – Sinkholes, Soil, and Staying Grounded
• 31:18 – Closing Reflections

-------------------

✨ Lasting gut healing isn’t about the trendiest protocol or the newest bottle, it is about sequence, integrity, and listening. Restore the terrain, support real detox pathways, choose quality inputs, and keep testing your assumptions. When you do, the body shows you the next right step.

Dr. Brad sits down with Dr. Michael Haley, chiropractor, educator, and gut-health advocate, for a wide-open conversation about the “hidden language” the body speaks through signs, symptoms, energy, and even skin tone. They compare notes on listening to patients, reading nonverbal cues, and using testing to surface root causes. From muscle testing and physiology to faith, mindset, and patterns they see in clinic, this episode invites you to slow down, listen deeper, and partner with your body so real healing can begin.

• Your body speaks before you do. Changes in skin color, eyes, posture, and energy can signal what is happening internally, long before labs arrive, according to Dr. Brad and Dr. Haley.
• Listening is a clinical superpower. Asking “What do you think is going on” and then truly listening often reveals the next right step.
• Muscle testing, as used by some clinicians, is a way to probe stress on systems. Dr. Brad explains his view that it helps assess functional integrity and guide targeted care.
• Bias blocks clarity. Preloaded beliefs can skew testing, decisions, and outcomes. Curiosity and humility clear the channel.
• Patterns matter. Clusters of similar cases can hint at broader stressors, not just “I slept wrong.”
• Root cause first. Whether gut dysfunction, toxicity, or unresolved stress, real change happens when the source is addressed, not just the symptom.
• Faith and physiology can coexist. Both guests talk about discernment, conscience, and the inner “knowing” that helps patients tune into what their bodies need.

-------------------

• 00:00 Welcome and framing, why this conversation will roam, how lived practice teaches beyond school.
• 01:57 Reading the body, why skin and eyes can reflect internal status, clearing a potential misunderstanding about “skin color.”
• 05:39 Two clinic lessons, gut massage for bowel motility, the art of taking a history, ask and listen.
• 10:47 From physics to physiology, a lay explanation of energy, matter, and why he believes testing can detect stress in systems.
• 16:34 How bias can distort findings, the need for intellectual honesty in practice.
• 23:33 Technique is not everything, a story about SI joint adjusting and seeing what actually helps.
• 30:37 Wrap up, the invitation to keep listening to what the body is trying to say.

-------------------

✨ Your body is not your enemy, it is your messenger. When you slow down, notice the signals, and ask better questions, you can uncover the root causes that symptoms are pointing to. Pair curiosity with sound testing, nourish the gut, clear toxic stress, and bring your whole self to the process. That is where real, sustained healing begins.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Brad Montagne uncovers one of the least understood truths about diabetes. It’s not just about sugar, diet, or genetics, it’s about your adrenal glands. When chronic toxicity overstimulates the adrenals, they flood your system with cortisol and adrenaline, triggering dangerous spikes in blood sugar and inflammation that set the stage for diabetes.

Dr. Brad explains how this hidden adrenal-driven process unfolds step by step, from gut toxicity to cellular damage, and why simply managing blood sugar misses the real cause. If you’ve struggled with fatigue, blood sugar swings, or unexplained inflammation, this episode is a must-listen.

✅ How adrenal stress is the real trigger behind most cases of diabetes

✅ The link between chronic toxicity, cortisol, and inflammation

✅ Why high cortisol converts muscle into sugar through gluconeogenesis

✅ How toxic overload damages capillaries, causing tissue death and neuropathy

✅ The connection between gut dysfunction, inflammation, and blood sugar dysregulation

✅ Why traditional diabetes medications treat symptoms, not causes

✅ The first steps toward reversing adrenal-driven blood sugar problems naturally

-------------------

00:00 Introduction to Adrenal Dysregulation

00:35 Understanding the Root Causes of Health Issues

01:50 The Role of the Gut in Toxicity

03:12 Pathogenic Microbes and Their Impact

06:13 Adrenal Response to Toxicity

10:25 The Vicious Cycle of Cortisol and Adrenaline

13:06 Inflammation and Its Consequences

19:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

-------------------

✨ Your blood sugar doesn’t rise on its own. It’s your adrenals responding to a toxic, stressed-out body. The same hormones designed to protect you in danger are now destroying your energy, blood vessels, and long-term health. Healing diabetes starts with healing your adrenals, detoxifying your system, and restoring gut integrity. Fix the cause, not the symptom, that’s how you reclaim your health.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Brad Montagne dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet powerful systems in your body, your adrenal glands. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, anxiety, hormone imbalance, or chronic inflammation, chances are your adrenals are behind it.

Dr. Brad explains how the adrenals control stress response, blood sugar, inflammation, blood pressure, kidney function, and even sexual hormones. When toxicity overloads the body, the adrenals go into overdrive trying to compensate, until they finally burn out.

This episode unpacks how adrenal dysregulation happens, what symptoms it creates, and why healing always begins with removing the toxic load that’s keeping your system in survival mode.

✅ The real role of the adrenal glands in managing stress and energy

✅ How toxicity drives adrenal dysfunction and burnout

✅ The link between cortisol, adrenaline, and chronic inflammation

✅ Why adrenal fatigue affects your hormones, mood, and immune system

✅ How adrenal stress disrupts thyroid balance and metabolism

✅ Why managing symptoms never heals the root cause

✅ The first steps to rebuilding your body’s resilience naturally

-------------------

00:00 Understanding Adrenal Health and Its Importance

11:47 The Role of Adrenals in Stress and Inflammation

20:05 Toxicity and Its Impact on Adrenal Function

-------------------

✨ Your adrenal glands are not the problem. They’re the responders. When you’re constantly exposed to toxins, stress, and inflammation, they go into survival mode to keep you alive. The key to restoring energy, balance, and calm isn’t more caffeine, supplements, or willpower. It’s rebuilding your foundations, starting with detoxification and gut repair. Heal the cause, and your adrenals will finally stop running your life.

In this essential episode, Dr. Brad Montagne exposes one of the biggest misconceptions in modern health, the idea that you can “fix” your mitochondria with supplements alone. From expensive resuscitation programs to endless nutrient protocols, most people miss the real root cause, a toxic, leaky gut that destroys hormone balance and shuts down your body’s true energy production system.

Dr. Brad breaks down the powerful connection between gut health, thyroid regulation, and mitochondrial energy, showing why every attempt to fix fatigue, adrenal burnout, or chronic illness fails unless you address the foundation first, the gut.

💡 What You’ll Learn

✅ Why most mitochondrial “restoration” programs don’t work

✅ How the gut’s microvilli, mucus, and microbes regulate energy production

✅ The hidden role of thyroid hormones in controlling mitochondrial size, number, and activity

✅ How toxins and leaky gut trigger reverse hormone conversion and crash your energy

✅ Why fixing thyroid or mitochondria alone will never heal fatigue or chronic illness

✅ How food intolerances and impaired detox pathways create systemic toxicity

✅ What really restores mitochondrial health, and how to do it the right way

-------------------

00:00 Understanding Mitochondria: The Powerhouses of Cells

01:52 The Role of Gut Health in Mitochondrial Function

04:57 Thyroid Hormones and Their Impact on Mitochondria

09:27 Toxicity and Its Effects on Mitochondrial Health

16:25 Restoring Mitochondrial Function: The Importance of Addressing Root Causes

-------------------

✨The mitochondria aren’t broken, they’re reacting to a toxic environment. Real energy healing doesn’t start with pills, powders, or protocols. It starts with addressing the root, healing the gut, restoring detox pathways, and rebuilding thyroid function. Once those foundations are restored, the body’s natural energy systems turn back on, powerfully and permanently.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Your Health Reclaimed, Dr. Brad Montagne breaks down the hidden connection between gut health and hormone dysfunction, revealing how inflammation, toxins, and leaky gut quietly set the stage for thyroid disorders, adrenal burnout, menstrual issues, and chronic fatigue.

Dr. Brad explains how hormone chaos doesn’t start in the ovaries, adrenals, or thyroid, it begins in the gut. From toxic overload and candida overgrowth to how the liver, pituitary, and thyroid all communicate through feedback loops, this episode gives a full roadmap of how to finally stop chasing symptoms and fix the true root cause of hormonal imbalance.

✅ Why hormone dysregulation starts with gut inflammation and leaky gut

✅ How candida and toxins overload the liver and disrupt hormone-producing organs

✅ The critical link between gut flora and hormone synthesis

✅ How toxins hijack your thyroid, adrenal, and menstrual cycles

✅ Why thyroid nodules form, and why cutting out your thyroid often makes things worse

✅ How lab testing often misses reverse T3 and real thyroid dysfunction

✅ A case study showing how addressing thyroid function stopped a nurse’s hemorrhaging within 48 hours

-------------------

00:00 Understanding Hormone Dysregulation

02:20 The Role of Gut Health in Hormone Production

06:54 Thyroid Function and Hormonal Balance

16:17 Case Studies: Real-Life Impacts of Thyroid Issues

-------------------

✨Hormone health doesn’t begin with medication, it begins with the gut. When the gut lining breaks down and the liver becomes overloaded, the entire endocrine system loses balance. Healing your hormones means restoring your foundation: gut integrity, detox pathways, and nutrient absorption.
