What if the rising wave of eczema, anxiety, ADHD, and behavioral challenges in kids is pointing us toward a deeper system that has been disrupted early on? And what if that same system also holds the key to resilience? In this episode, I sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Elisa Song to talk about why more than half of kids today are living with at least one chronic condition and how the gut microbiome plays a central role in immune function, brain health, mood, metabolism, and behavior. We explore how early life factors like birth, feeding, antibiotics, and food environments shape a...

Your body is brilliant, but it cannot thrive in an environment that is quietly breaking it down. Mold exposure is one of the most overlooked root causes behind chronic illness, accelerated aging, autoimmune disease, and nervous system dysfunction. Many people are doing everything right, eating clean, exercising, prioritizing sleep, yet still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or emotionally off. When symptoms don’t make sense and doctors say everything looks normal, mold is often the missing piece. Today I’m joined by Dr. Peter Osborne to unpack why mold illness is so deeply misunderstood,...

So many women eating carefully still struggle with low energy, gut flare ups, and a slow slide in strength. Talking with JJ Virgin brought real clarity to why this happens and what our bodies actually need to rebuild. JJ lays out a simple and compelling way to think about protein, muscle, and metabolism, especially for women dealing with fatigue, gut issues, or body composition changes. She shares how most women are radically under-eating protein, why quality matters, and how digestion, stress, and environmental toxins shape what we can absorb. We move through her muscle first philosophy, the...

Breast implant illness is a silent epidemic affecting millions of women. Dr. Rob Whitfield, a holistic plastic surgeon, shares what’s really happening inside the body when implants are placed. They fail, they rupture, they leak, and for nearly a third of his patients, bacterial contamination is found. We talk about what chronic inflammation does to the body, why detox genetics matter, and how environmental toxins, poor detox capacity, and implants combine to overwhelm the immune system. Dr. Whitfield explains how real informed consent should sound and why no one should ever be told implants...

There are moments when life hands you a topic so heavy that most people avoid it entirely, and yet it’s part of our everyday reality. Cancer is one of those topics. I wanted to bring warmth and clarity into this conversation, just like I try to do with mold, parasites, and toxins, because these things are fixable when we understand what the body is trying to say. Dr. Nasha Winters meets this moment with decades of lived experience and an incredible ability to translate complexity into something human and hopeful. She shares why cancer is a messenger and not a death sentence, why the body’s...

So many of us walk around carrying symptoms we’ve tried to explain away. The headaches, the screen intolerance, the brain fog, the frustration that hits when the simplest tasks feel harder than they should. I see this often in our practice, and I’ve lived parts of it myself. What most people never realize is how often an old head injury is still directing the show. Your body is brilliant. It remembers everything, including the moments when your brain had to work overtime just to make sense of what your eyes were taking in. Talking with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum brought so much clarity to this....

In this episode, I sit down with holistic pediatrician Dr. Elisa Song to talk about why more than half of kids today are living with at least one chronic condition and how the gut microbiome plays a central role in immune function, brain health, mood, metabolism, and behavior. We explore how early life factors like birth, feeding, antibiotics, and food environments shape a child’s biology, and why even kids who seem to have had a “good start” can still be missing key protective microbes.
Dr. Song shares how she works with children who are already struggling with eczema, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral challenges, and complex neuroimmune conditions, using stool-based microbiome data to guide food, supplement, and lifestyle changes. We talk about added sugar, ultra-processed foods, sugar-sweetened beverages, and the quiet ways they disrupt the gut-brain-immune connection. We also discuss how teaching kids the “why” behind gut health builds agency, reduces power struggles, and helps families move forward with more confidence and hope.
