Today, I’m joined by the extraordinary Dr. Richard Horowitz, a board-certified internist, renowned Lyme disease specialist, and the author of Ending Chronic Illness—a book that’s become my new favorite reference guide for understanding the true roots of chronic disease. Dr. Richard Horowitz opens up about his journey from treating diabetes in upstate New York to becoming a medical detective in the heart of the country’s largest Lyme-endemic area, where standard medical training simply wasn’t enough. Patient by patient, he pieced together a radical new model for uncovering where inflammation really comes from—one that’s now transforming lives well beyond Lyme.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by the insightful Dr. Michael Ruscio, a leading voice in integrative and functional medicine with an extraordinary depth of clinical and personal experience. Dr. Ruscio opens up about his 2-year journey battling intestinal parasites, back-to-back mold exposures, and chronic infections—experiences that completely reshaped his approach to mold, fungal overgrowth, biofilms, and the immune system.
Read MoreIn this eye-opening conversation, we break down how microplastics don’t just clutter our environment—they infiltrate our bodies, disrupt cellular energy, drive chronic inflammation, and even pass through to future generations. We also get real about the hidden sources of plastic exposure all around us, including the products we think are “healthy,” and why our companion animals may be the environmental sentinels we’ve been ignoring.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by Dr. Jill Crista, a pioneering voice in environmental medicine and a relentless detective when it comes to chronic, mysterious illness. In our conversation, Dr. Crista reveals how she uncovered the hidden world of mold and mycotoxins—not just as respiratory irritants, but as stealthy drivers of fatigue, brain fog, hormone disruption, and accelerated aging. She shares her early experiences working with “non-responders” in Lyme disease, and how uncovering toxic mold exposures transformed her entire understanding of whole-body health.
Read MoreMy guest today is James LaValle R.Ph., C.C.N. M.T. DHM, DHPh, one of the pioneers in functional and metabolic medicine, and we're unpacking the silent process he calls metaflammation—the chronic, low-grade inflammation that can quietly drive everything from fatigue and insulin resistance to hormone imbalances and accelerated aging.

Most people think that if they can just find the right mold test, they'll finally have their answer. But what if that's exactly what's keeping them stuck? In this episode, I'm joined once again by mold investigator and building health expert Jason Earle, and we challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding mold illness.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by Nicole Bell, an accomplished engineer who made an unexpected leap from designing cutting-edge surgical robotics to becoming a powerful advocate for better diagnostics in tick-borne diseases. Nicole’s story is both deeply personal and urgent: after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s—only to later discover the true culprit was hidden tick-borne infections—she set out to uncover why our medical system misses these subtle yet devastating conditions.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by Dr. Robin Rose, a double board-certified gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician who has become a true pioneer in the space of functional and precision medicine. Driven by a relentless curiosity that survived even the most rigid medical training, Dr. Rose shares how her quest to answer “why” led her beyond conventional medicine into root-cause healing, patient-centered care, and the world of gut health, biochemistry, and the microbiome.
Read MoreToday, I’m joined by the insightful Caroline Alan, author of The Mineral Reset and co-founder of Beam Minerals. Caroline Alan shares her powerful story—a decade-long journey from chronic fatigue, brain fog, adrenal burnout, and persistent health challenges to discovering the true foundation of her recovery: replenishing trace minerals. After years of searching for answers and seeing countless specialists, it wasn’t another diet or protocol that brought her back to health, but addressing a deep, often-overlooked mineral deficiency.
