51. Beyond Weight Loss: GLP-1s, Inflammation, and Thyroid Health With McCall McPherson, PA-C
Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 58:39
What if the GLP-1 conversation is bigger than weight loss?
In this episode, I sit down with McCall McPherson, PA-C, thyroid expert and founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic. We have a candid, nuanced discussion about GLP-1 receptor agonists, the clinical questions that extend beyond the scale, and why safety, nutrition, medication sourcing, and individualized follow-up must stay at the center of the conversation.
McCall shares the clinical observations that led her team to explore low-dose approaches with some thyroid patients, including questions around inflammation and autoimmune symptoms. We also discuss what is established, what remains under study, and why an episode conversation should never replace a personal discussion with a licensed clinician.
Important clinical note: The episode includes discussion of microdosing and possible anti-inflammatory applications. These ideas may be outside FDA-approved uses and are not a plan for self-treatment. Do not start, stop, split, or change a prescription medicine without guidance from a qualified prescriber.
🔥What you will learn in this episode:
📍 What GLP-1 receptor agonists are designed to do and why product-specific labels matter
📍How McCall defines microdosing in her clinical practice and why this approach requires clinician oversight
📍Why inflammation, thyroid symptoms, nutrition, muscle health, and side effects need to be considered together
📍How to approach the thyroid cancer boxed warning with a thoughtful risk-benefit conversation
📍What the FDA-approved cardiovascular indication for Wegovy does and does not tell us about other health claims
📍Why the episode treats cancer, autoimmune disease, and brain-health topics as active areas of discussion and research rather than promises of treatment
📍Why unverified online sources and do-it-yourself dosing can create avoidable safety risks
The FDA has approved Wegovy, a semaglutide product, for chronic weight management in certain patients and for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack, and stroke in adults with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity, when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
The FDA also warns that unapproved versions of GLP-1 medicines do not undergo its premarket review for safety, effectiveness, and quality. Discuss your options with a licensed clinician and use a state-licensed pharmacy.

50. Your Labs Are Normal But You're Sick – The Hidden Truth About Chronic Illness with Melissa Schreibfeder, RN
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 52:41
What if the fatigue, inflammation, and mystery symptoms you have been experiencing are not in your head, but hidden in an immune system that is simply overwhelmed? This week, we explore why standard medical testing often misses the true root cause of chronic illness. You will hear how hidden infections, toxic mold exposure, and daily stress can compound over time until your body can no longer compensate.
Founder of the Functional Nurse Academy, Melissa Schreibfeder, joins me to share her personal journey from debilitating postpartum fatigue to complete recovery. From the limitations of conventional thyroid care to the hidden burden of Lyme disease and toxic mold, Melissa reveals the unconventional interventions that finally worked. If you have ever been told your labs are normal while you still feel exhausted, this conversation will help you take back your health with clarity and hope.
What you'll learn in this episode:
Why a standard lab result does not automatically mean your body is functioning optimally
The "cup overflowing" concept and how Lyme, toxic mold, and stress compound to trigger chronic illness
How a functional nurse can help you access comprehensive lab testing outside the confines of insurance
The 17-year gap between medical research and standard clinical guidelines
Why healing is rarely linear and how to interpret a Herxheimer reaction during recovery
The surprising role that faith, purpose, and stress management play in physical immune resilience
How to build a collaborative healthcare team that focuses on prevention before disease develops
The exact steps Melissa took to go from severe chemical sensitivity to living a vibrant, symptom-free life
About Melissa Schreibfeder:
Melissa Schreibfeder, RN, is a registered nurse, approved provider of continuing nursing education, board-certified functional medicine practitioner, and founder of the Functional Nurse Academy.

What if the answers to your chronic stress, stubborn symptoms, and “mystery” food reactions have been inside you all along, hidden in plain sight in your DNA? This week, we break down the buzzword of epigenetics into something you can actually use. You’ll hear how daily inputs such as food, toxins, movement, relationships, and even the state of your nervous system can flip genetic “switches” that either work for you or against you.
Founder of MindBodyGenes, Becca Roses, joins me to show how a guided genetic blueprint can replace guesswork with clarity. From stress resilience and detox capacity to carbs, fats, and protein needs, Becca reveals the surprising patterns that matter most without creating more overwhelm. If you’ve ever been told your genes are your destiny, this conversation will help you take back your health with precision and confidence.
🔥 What you'll learn in this episode:
📍 The simplest way to think about epigenetics and why your daily inputs can shift genetic “switches”
📍 Why hyper-focusing on one SNP can backfire, and the pattern-based approach Becca uses instead
📍 How the COMT “warrior/worrier/mediator” spectrum can shape your stress, mood, and even your relationship with caffeine
📍 The hidden detox “bottleneck” that happens when Phase 1 outpaces Phase 2 (and what most reports miss about Phase 3)
📍 How genetics can clarify your ideal carb, fat, and protein mix (and why many women feel worse on ultra–low-carb)
📍 The glutamate/GABA seesaw, what GAD1 variants may reveal about focus, anxiety, and “wired” kids, and how to support balance
📍 Why a cheek-swab blueprint can help families personalize nutrition and routines for each child
📍 When to use existing raw data from 23andMe or Ancestry versus when to get a coach, plus what a 90-minute guided blueprint session looks like
About Becca Roses:
Becca Roses is the Founder of MindBodyGenes and a Certified Epigenetics Human Performance Coach. She helps clients translate their genetic blueprints into personalized, practical wellness strategies across nutrition, detox, sleep, exercise, hormones, and nervous system support. After navigating her own Hashimoto’s journey and seeing the power of pattern-based genetics in her life and work with clients, Becca created the MindBodyGenes Blueprint and the Gene Queen Certification to train coaches and practitioners to interpret DNA with a human-first, epigenetics-driven approach.

48. Could Your Airway Be the Root Cause of Your Child's ADHD, Your Exhaustion, and Your Sleep Apnea? with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 53:32
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, an airway and biological dentist specializing in jaw development and non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. We cover three audiences I care deeply about: parents of children showing signs of airway dysfunction, women in perimenopause who are exhausted and being missed by standard sleep testing, and adults who have been managing symptoms with a CPAP and want to know if there is a better path.
Dr. Fritsch explains how mouth breathing, tongue ties, and underdeveloped palates are silently driving ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue. She also shares the recent Harvard research on CPAP risks for low-risk patients that genuinely surprised me and why myofunctional therapy alone can cut apnea in half.
I share my own journey and my daughter Elle's experience with palate expansion. This episode is packed with actionable information you will not want to miss.
What You Will Learn:
Why underdeveloped jaws and mouth breathing are a root cause of ADHD, anxiety, and chronic fatigue in children and adults
The specific signs of early airway dysfunction in infants and children — and why acting early changes everything
Why women are systematically underdiagnosed with sleep apnea and how perimenopause dramatically increases airway collapse risk
How non-surgical palate expansion works for adults — no jaw surgery required
Why myofunctional therapy is essential for lasting results and can reduce apnea severity by up to 50%
What recent Harvard research reveals about CPAP risks for low-risk patients and what to do instead
About Dr. Hilary Fritsch
Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, is an airway and biological dentist with nearly two decades of clinical experience specializing in jaw development, tongue-tied infants, and the non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. She is the founder of Saddle Peak Dental and Western Sleep Solutions in Bozeman, Montana, and she trained extensively under Dr. Kevin Golz, a pioneer in adult palate expansion with over 6,000 cases completed.

47. Are Mammograms Really Saving More Lives? With Dr. Jenn Simmons
Tuesday, June 30, 2026 • Duration 58:19
What if everything you have been told about mammograms is wrong?
In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Jenn Simmons, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, to break down what QT imaging actually is, why mammograms have no proven survival benefit, and what every woman needs to know about breast cancer screening right now. After a decade of mammograms and two breast cancer scares, I switched to QT scanning two years ago, and I am never going back.
We cover the science behind QT technology, why DCIS is being overtreated, and what you can do today to prevent a breast cancer diagnosis, not just screen for one.
What you will learn:
Why the American College of Physicians says mammograms have no proven survival benefit
How QT imaging differs from traditional ultrasound and MRI
Why DCIS is not cancer and why it is being overtreated
How QT measures doubling time to avoid unnecessary biopsies
What the tears test is and how it detects breast cancer risk at home
About Dr. Jenn Simmons: Dr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, and author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer. After 17+ years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon, she now helps women prevent and heal from breast cancer using a root-cause approach.

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 52:02
Season 2 is here and I am starting it with the episode I have needed to record for a long time.
The last few years have been the hardest of my life. My sister died of triple negative breast cancer at 31, I faced my own cancer scares, I went through toxic mold exposure and PTSD, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I found my way back to faith.
In this solo episode, I walk you through all of it honestly: the mammogram callback that started a two-year testing spiral, why I stopped circulating tumor cell screening, what EMDR did for my nervous system that nothing else could, and how Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and clarigenic medicine gave me back a relationship with something greater than myself.
I also talk about my daughter Elle and the bullying that quietly dismantled her confidence, and the school change that gave her back to me in less than a week.
And I share what is coming: a revised The Autoimmune Solution™ with new sections on trauma, COVID, and long COVID; a new website; and the Dr. Myers Inner Circle.
I have missed you. I am back. And I have a lot left to do.

44. From Carbon 60 to Anti-M: Exploring the Science of Cancer Support with Ian Mitchell
Monday, March 10, 2025 • Duration 01:14:50
For many, navigating a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. While mainstream treatments like chemotherapy remain foundational, emerging scientific research offers exciting new ways to support overall health and wellness during treatment. This week, I'm joined by Ian Mitchell, a research scientist and pharmaceutical consultant. We explore groundbreaking insights into Carbon 60 (C60), a compound with unique properties, and how it may complement lifestyle strategies like ketosis for those looking to support their health during cancer treatment.
In this episode, you'll discover:
What Is Carbon 60 (C60): C60 is a carbon-based molecule known for its antioxidant properties. When paired with lipids, it may interact with cellular membranes in mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress and promote energy production at the cellular level. "All of your inflammatory markers go down simultaneously while your energy levels are going up," says Mitchell. "And so you feel very robust."
The Importance of Ketosis: A ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carbohydrate, high-fat nutrition, has been studied for its potential to support metabolic health. Mitchell shares how this dietary approach may create an environment that challenges cancer cell growth while supporting healthy DNA integrity.
How C60 Fits into a Comprehensive Wellness Plan: C60’s unique properties allow it to promote healthy cell function while reducing oxidative stress. Mitchell explains how incorporating C60 into a broader health regimen, alongside a supportive diet, may help optimize cellular health and resilience.
Chemotherapy Can Be Effective—to an Extent: While chemotherapy plays a crucial role in many treatment plans, Mitchell and I discuss why personalized approaches to wellness and treatment may provide better outcomes. "You have this type of cancer, but nobody is checking to see if in your very specific case, does this chemotherapy work or not?" shares Dr. Myers.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have long been used for acute issues such as strokes and brain injuries—but can they be used for chronic conditions as well? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, an internal medicine physician certified in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We sat down to discuss what makes this chamber "a wound healer from the inside out" as well as the proper protocols one should follow before even considering oxygen therapy for chronic issues.
In this episode, you'll discover:
The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): As soon as you step into the hyperbaric chamber, your body works to reoxygenate the cells in low-oxygen tissue. In the long term, not only does the body rebuild damaged blood vessels, but you can also expect to see a decrease in inflammation and swelling, an enhancement of the immune system, and lymphatic and detoxification optimization.
Having a Healthy Foundation Is Key: "You want to get some of that foundational stuff working before you start stressing the system with oxygen," says Dr. Sherr. This includes having the right vitamins, minerals, and nutrients required to detoxify and create energy or ATP effectively. "The challenge in the hyperbaric world is that we don't think about these things as much," he adds.
HBOT's Role In Cancer Treatment: Dr. Sherr uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy in conjunction with other interventions, such as vitamin C IVs and a ketogenic diet, as a way to support and sensitize people for chemotherapy and radiation.
What Methylene Blue Does: In terms of supplemental support, Dr. Sherr turns to methylene blue, which helps optimize the mitochondria—the parts of the cells that produce ATP—while promoting detoxification at the same time, which the internal medicine physician calls "very unusual." He opts for low doses of the supplement to avoid potentially causing oxidative stress in the body.

42. From Diagnosis to Thriving: How Taylor Dukes Chose Integrative Medicine to Heal Brain Cancer
Monday, February 10, 2025 • Duration 48:58
A free way to support your cancer treatment? Shifting your mindset and finding the positives in life. This week, I'm joined by Taylor Dukes, a family nurse practitioner, mother of two, and former colleague. We sat down to discuss her cancer journey—from finding out she had a brain tumor to entering remission—what she's learned in the years since her initial diagnosis, and how reframing her mindset helped her thrive.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment: When doctors found a brain tumor in Dukes' right frontal lobe, the mother of two didn't jump straight into surgery. Instead, she implemented a lot of integrative therapies such as coffee enemas, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, wearing a red light helmet, and more. "In the five months between when I got diagnosed and when I actually had surgery, we were able to shrink the brain tumor in half," says Duke."
The Power of Positive Thinking: Dukes, who currently has "no evidence of disease," believes that as long as you’re breathing, there is always hope and there are always options. "No diagnosis, no test, no statistic has the ability to figure out the number of your days," says Dukes, who credits prayer and meditation for her mindset. "Your mind is powerful and what you believe is so, so powerful."
Maintaining Your Health After Cancer: Two years after her diagnosis, Dukes is now in maintenance mode and focuses on getting her immune system back on track. She keeps up with regular fasting, eats a lower-carb diet, and alternates between red light therapy, ozone therapy, and sauna. “I'm starting specific therapies to target the co-infections and Lyme markers I have,” she says.
