You've Been Detoxing Wrong This Whole Time ft. Dr. Rahm, Dr. Kim & Dr. Peatross | TUH #289 Jul 23, 2026 905 Most people grab a binder or start a cleanse and go straight to war on mold, Lyme, and heavy metals. Doing it in that order can make you far sicker than the toxins ever did. In this one, we break down why your drainage has to open first, the quiet signs it's blocked, and why the real problem almost never shows up on a 'normal' bloodwork panel. If you've been chasing symptoms no test can explain, t

288. Koa Smith: You're Facing Your Fear the Wrong Way. A Top Big-Wave Surfer's Method Jul 21, 2026 3642 You think some people are just born without fear, but my guest Koa Smith has spent 15 years paddling into waves big enough to kill him, and he'll tell you the opposite: fear never leaves, the whole game is what you do when it shows up. After a reef injury knocked him unconscious underwater and left him eight months numb, depressed, and unable to get a straight answer from a doctor, he clawed his w

287. Live at the Southern Utah Holistic Health Summit 2026 Jul 16, 2026 5069 For 22 years, I predicted death for life insurance companies. One pattern showed up in file after file: most "genetic" conditions have no gene behind them. Ask your doctor which gene causes your blood pressure, your autoimmune condition, or your ADHD, and most can't answer, because it doesn't exist. What actually runs in your family is a nutrient deficiency, not a disease, and once your body gets
286. Dr. Jordan Metzl: Why Movement Is a First-Line Drug for Depression
286. Dr. Jordan Metzl: Why Movement Is a First-Line Drug for Depression Jul 14, 2026 4071 I sat down with Dr. Jordan Metzl, a sports-medicine physician who's convinced that the reason most of us can't stay consistent isn't discipline or knowledge, it's motivation, and he says you can actually engineer it by "lowering the cost to act." We get into exercise as a literal medicine that would beat almost any drug if it came in a pill, why fun is the real holy grail of compliance, and how mo

285. Your Skin Tells the Truth in Ways You Never Expected - Dr. Vali, Dr. Barbara Sturm, & Danica Patrick Jul 9, 2026 2384 You've been told your skin is aging because of what's happening on the outside, but I think the real fire is inflammation coming from the inside. I'm not saying the sun is the enemy; I'm saying the processed seed oils on your plate are feeding the problem far more than the sun ever could. Get the inside right, support your barrier instead of assaulting it, and your skin will do what it was built t

284. Dr. Bill Rawls: The Doctor Who Got Sick and Discovered What Doctors Miss Jul 7, 2026 4253 You've been told your fatigue, brain fog, and aching joints are just getting older. My guest today says that's the wrong answer and he'd know. Dr. Bill Rawls is a fourth-generation physician whose body broke down so badly at 50 he could barely walk across a room, until he found what was actually driving it: stealth microbes hiding dormant inside his cells, invisible on every standard lab.  CLIC

283. Turmeric vs Fish Oil for Inflammation: Which Is Better? Jul 2, 2026 641 Your fatigue, achy joints, and bad gut days might not be aging; they could be signs you're quietly inflamed. In this episode, I break down how to tell if chronic inflammation has set in, why it's driving some of the most serious diseases we face, and the simple, low-cost changes I use to cool it down: diet, sleep, stress, hydration, cold showers, red light, and a few key supplements. There's one d

Here’s 5 Practices of Highly Resilient People Jun 30, 2026 4272 Roughly 82% of autoimmune diseases show up in women, and the cause may not be what you think. In this episode, I sit down with resilience researcher Dr. Taryn Marie to unpack how the stress you hide rewires your nervous system, why "toughing it out" is actually the opposite of resilience, and the three questions I'm now asking myself every morning. She also opens up about the 20-year secret she hi

But there's one line he keeps coming back to that changes how you see everything: there will never be another you. CLICK HERE TO BECOME G

280. Will Harlow: STOP Losing Muscle After 50 (Do This Instead) Jun 29, 2026 3166 A 30-second test with nothing but a chair can tell you whether you'll be independent or dependent at 80. Most people score lower than they expect and don't find out until something goes wrong. Here's the stat that stopped me cold: for older adults, the hip often breaks before the fall. The bone gives out first. The fall is what happens next. And most doctors never mention it. UK physiotherapist Wi

Here’s How to Detox Microplastics Fast Jun 18, 2026 779 You might think microplastics are an ocean problem, but research suggests you're carrying roughly a credit card's worth of plastic inside your body right now, circulating through your bloodstream and settling into your organs, your brain, and even reproductive tissue. In this episode, I break down how plastic gets in and walk you through my 5-step protocol to lower your total burden: filtering you

278. Dr. Jason Snibbe: On Why Meniscus Surgery Backfires, Prehab, Peptides, & Robotic Joint Surgery Jun 16, 2026 3394 Most people are told a torn meniscus needs surgery to "clean it out".  But in this episode, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jason Snibbe tells me that roughly 30% of those patients end up needing a full knee replacement within three to six months, because the cleanout itself is trauma that speeds up the joint's breakdown. Instead, he uses a simple platelet-rich plasma injection that gets many patients 70 t
