From Western Medicine to Holistic Rebel: The Worm Queen Exposes Parasites 10 Dec 202500:38:48

In today’s episode, we sit down with THE Worm Queen — the founder of Rogers Hood and the woman who blew the internet open in 2019 when she exposed the truth about parasites.

With years of Western medical training, certifications, and clinical experience, she walked away from the system and dove headfirst into functional, holistic, naturopathic, and homeopathic medicine. She’s traveled the world researching parasites, healing, and detoxing in places most practitioners won’t even talk about.

This episode is jam-packed with information that will change the way you see your symptoms, your gut, and your entire healing journey. If you’ve ever wondered why so many people are sick and no one can explain why — this one is for you.

Get ready. She’s brilliant, bold, and she is bringing the truth.

Episode 6 "A Voice for the Voiceless: One Mom’s Journey Through Autism, Advocacy & Awakening"09 May 202500:31:01

In this powerful and emotional episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with Debbie, a mama of four originally from Chicago, now living in Sarasota, who calls herself “a voice for the voiceless.”

Debbie vulnerably shares her experience raising a nonverbal autistic daughter, and how she believes her condition was triggered—or at the very least, worsened—by medical interventions she once trusted.

This is not an easy story. But it’s a crucial one.

We dive into:

  • What it’s really like parenting a nonverbal child in a world that doesn’t understand
  • Her awakening to the potential triggers that led to her son’s regression
  • The emotional toll, the fierce advocacy, and the deep healing that follows
  • How she found her voice—and now uses it for those who don’t have one

If you’ve ever questioned the system, felt silenced as a mother, or are navigating autism in your own family—this episode will speak straight to your heart.

The Vaccine Schedule Shift No Ones Explaining to Parents...09 Jan 202600:30:49

This week on Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we’re diving into one of the biggest but least-explained public health changes that’s got parents everywhere talking — the new childhood vaccine schedule.

Federal health officials recently overhauled the U.S. childhood vaccine recommendations, reducing the number of diseases for which routine shots are broadly recommended — dropping from 17 to 11. Instead of a one-size-fits-all schedule, many vaccines are now recommended only for high-risk children or left up to shared clinical decision-making between parents and doctors. The CDC says this aligns U.S. guidance with international peers, but pediatricians and medical groups are raising serious concerns about the lack of transparency, scientific review, and potential risks for kids. 

With so much fear, confusion, and conflicting info swirling around, we’re breaking down:
•What actually changed in the vaccine schedule (and why parents are confused)
•How this shift happened and who made the decision
•The real responses from doctors, pediatricians, and families
•What this means for your child’s health journey

And we’re especially excited because this is along time coming. We have some pretty BIG guest coming on with us to unpack all of this — answering the questions parents have been too afraid to ask. STAY TUNED

Why Cleveland Needed This: Root Cause Healing, Community & Integrative Wellness01 Feb 202600:31:39

What happens when a mother refuses to accept surface-level answers for her child’s health?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jen — a physician and integrative medicine practitioner who went back to school after her son began struggling with PAN/PANDAS. That journey didn’t just change her family’s life… it changed her entire career path.

Today, Jen is the founder of Root Cause Integrative Wellness, a clinic built on one simple but powerful belief:
👉 healing doesn’t start with symptoms — it starts with root causes.

We talk about:

  • What PAN/PANDAS taught her about the gaps in conventional medicine
  • Why integrative & holistic care must be accessible to everyday families
  • How Cleveland was missing true full-immersion healing education — and why she decided to change that
  • The importance of community, connection, and supporting local holistic businesses
  • What real, sustainable healing looks like when you address the whole body

Jen also shares the heart behind creating a first-of-its-kind integrative wellness market in Cleveland & Full submersion Holistic Healing live event! Bringing together local businesses, practitioners, and resources so families can learn how to support their health daily, not just during a crisis.

✨ We’re attending this event ourselves and are SO excited to support and share it with you.

📍 All event details, links, and ticket information are included in the show notes below.
If you’re local — or willing to travel — this is one you do not want to miss.

This episode is for:
 • moms navigating mysterious health issues
 • families questioning the “wait and see” approach
 • anyone curious about integrative, root-cause healing
 • people craving real-life holistic community

🎧 Tune in now and come meet the movement Cleveland has been waiting for.

Episode 14 Conventionally Crunchy: A Physician Assistant Questions the System29 Jan 202600:44:04

What happens when someone trained inside Western medicine starts asking uncomfortable questions?

In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Collins, a physician assistant who proudly calls herself conventionally crunchy. With years of experience working in the medical system, Kathy shares what most people never hear about medical training, vaccines, and how little education providers actually receive on functional medicine, genetics, and long-term outcomes.

We dive into:

  • The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine and why informed consent matters
  • MTHFR gene mutations and why they’re rarely discussed in conventional care
  • The childhood vaccine schedule and the growing concerns many parents are having
  • What providers are and aren’t taught about vaccines in medical training
  • Why functional medicine is often dismissed, despite patient outcomes
  • Kathy’s personal journey into becoming a “crunchy mom” while still working in Western medicine

We also touch on the broader conversations happening right now around medical transparency, parental choice, and the topics being publicly discussed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that many families are questioning for the first time.

This is an honest, respectful, eye-opening conversation for:
 ✔️ Parents who want to be informed
 ✔️ Anyone questioning the “one-size-fits-all” approach to healthcare
 ✔️ Medical professionals who feel stuck inside a broken system
 ✔️ Crunchy moms, curious moms, and conventionally trained providers alike

Whether you’re️’re fully crunchy, just starting to question things, or still somewhere in between, this episode creates space for nuance, curiosity, and truth.

🎙️ No fear. No shame. Just informed conversation.

The USA Today Documentary We’ve All Been Waiting For | Episode 1421 Jan 202600:48:03

Okay… let’s talk about this documentary.

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we’re airing the full USA Today documentary that a LOT of parents have been waiting to see—and yes, we have thoughts.

We kick things off with our own commentary before the documentary starts, because while this project was a huge moment and an important step forward, it wasn’t perfect—and we want to be honest about that. There were parts we loved, parts we questioned, and a few discrepancies we didn’t totally agree with. And instead of pretending otherwise, we talk about it.

Then we let the documentary play in full, uninterrupted, so you can watch it with your own eyes and form your own opinion. Afterward, we come back with real, unfiltered reflections—what felt validating, what felt off, and why overall we still believe this was a meaningful experience and an important project to be part of.

Do we think crunchy moms were represented better than ever before on a mainstream platform? Yes.
 Do we think there’s still room for deeper truth and better conversations? Also yes.

And that’s exactly why you’ll want to listen.

🎧 Available on all podcast platforms
 📺 Full video episode on YouTube & Rumble

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Our honest pre-documentary commentary (no blind praise here)
  • The full USA Today documentary played start to finish
  • Where we felt seen as crunchy moms—and where we didn’t
  • The discrepancies we noticed and why they matter
  • Why this still felt like a win for parents asking questions

Why we decided to air this anyway:
Because progress doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from conversations finally being allowed to happen. And this documentary cracked a door that’s been shut for a long time.

We don’t expect you to agree with everything.
 We do expect you to walk away thinking.

Quitter’s Day: Why Most People Quit — and What We Do Instead15 Jan 202600:27:39

Every January, we hear it everywhere: “New Year, New Me.”
And by mid-January… most people have already quit.

Today is Quitter’s Day — the day research shows the majority of people abandon their New Year’s goals — and in this episode, we’re calling out why that happens and what actually works instead.

We’re not here to reinvent ourselves every year.
 We’re here to grow, evolve, and stay disciplined without burning out.

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we talk honestly about:

  • Why the “New Year, New Me” mindset sets people up to fail
  • What Quitter’s Day reveals about motivation vs. discipline
  • How consistency beats motivation every single time
  • Why growth doesn’t require becoming a different person
  • The systems, habits, and mindset shifts we personally use to stay on track
  • How faith, environment, and accountability play a role in real transformation
  • What “New Year, Same Us — Just Better” actually looks like in real life

This episode is for the mom who:

  • Is tired of starting over every January
  • Feels discouraged by failed goals
  • Wants sustainable growth, not hustle culture
  • Is ready to stop quitting on herself

No hype.
 No pressure.
 Just real, grounded growth that actually lasts.

🎧 Press play and let this be the year you stop starting over.

We’ve been taught to focus on what goes in our bodies…

In this episode, we sit down with the founders of Savante to uncover the truth about conventional clothing—and why it may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxin exposure, especially for kids. 

From pesticide-heavy cotton to chemical dyes and synthetic fabrics, we break down what’s really in the clothes your children wear 24/7… and why it matters more than most people realize. 

If you're already prioritizing organic food, this is the next step in reducing your family’s toxic load.  

🧠 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  •  How clothing interacts with your skin (your largest organ) 
  •  The connection between fabrics and skin sensitivities or irritation

  •  Why this is especially important for babies and kids 
  •  Simple swaps you can make starting today 


 👩‍👧‍👦 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR MOMS

The Glyphosate Executive Order No One Is Explaining with Moms Across America25 Mar 202600:44:06

There’s a reason more and more moms are starting to question what’s really in our food… and this episode dives straight into one of the biggest conversations happening right now.

We sat down with Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, to break down the truth about glyphosate — where it’s showing up, how it became so widely used, and what recent decisions at the highest levels mean for our families.

We also dive into the conversation around Trump signing an executive order involving glyphosate — and ask the question a lot of moms are thinking…

👉 Why make this an executive order in the first place?

In this episode, we unpack:

  • What glyphosate actually is (and why it’s everywhere)
  • The glyphosate executive order and what it could mean
  • Why this decision sparked strong reactions from so many moms
  • What Zen Honeycutt and Moms Across America have been fighting for
  • What we believe is really going on — and why more families are starting to question it
  • How you can start making more informed choices for your home

This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and rooted in one goal — helping families feel more empowered about what they’re putting on their tables.

If you’ve ever stood in the grocery store wondering, “how is this even allowed?”… this episode is for you.

 The Medicine They Don’t Want You to Know About: Homeopathy, Frequencies & the Future of Healing

What if the body didn’t need stronger drugs…
 but the right frequency to heal?

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with the brilliant founder of RMDY Remedy Collective, a company bringing homeopathic medicine back into modern healing conversations.

• The true history of homeopathy and why it has been practiced for over 200 years
• How frequency-based healing actually works in the body
• Why so many families are turning to homeopathy for everyday health concerns
• The emotional story that sparked her mission after watching her sister struggle with illness
• What the future of integrative and energetic medicine could look like

If you’ve ever wondered why homeopathy works for so many people — or why it’s often misunderstood — this conversation will open your mind.

Searching for Answers: One Mom’s Story After Vaccines16 Feb 202600:37:04

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with a courageous mom who shares her deeply personal story of what happened after her child received routine vaccinations.

She makes it clear: vaccines were never officially proven to be the cause of her child’s health changes. But the timing? The sudden onset? The regression? It left her asking questions no parent is ever prepared to ask.

We talk about:
 • The timeline of symptoms
 • What doctors said — and didn’t say
 • The emotional toll of feeling dismissed
 • Heavy metal concerns and detox protocols
 • What she wishes she had known beforehand
 • How she’s supporting her child’s healing today

This episode is not about fear — it’s about a mother’s lived experience. It’s about intuition. It’s about asking hard questions. And it’s about walking through uncertainty while fighting for your child.

As always, we encourage you to research, read inserts for yourself, and have informed conversations with providers you trust. Our mission is transparency, not censorship.

If you’ve ever felt like something didn’t add up… this one’s for you.
