  • Greatest Hits: Food is Medicine Part 1 with Dr. Terry Wahls
    Jul 9 2025
    Chronic disease can have a devastating impact on your life. It can be all too easy to give up and accept the new normal, but there are often ways to regain control. ⁠Dr. Terry Wahls⁠ not only found a way to slow the progression of her own disease, but she also developed a protocol to help others do the same. Dr. Wahls is recognized worldwide for her protocol which is transforming the lives of countless people. She is a clinical professor at the University of Iowa. Dr. Wahls conducts clinical trials into the efficacy of therapeutic lifestyle to treat multiple sclerosis-related symptoms. She is the author of ⁠The Wahls Protocol⁠ as well as her revolutionary ⁠cookbook⁠. In part one of our conversation, Dr. Wahls shares the specifics of her protocol. Before her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls was an incredibly active woman. After seeking out various aggressive treatments for her condition, Dr. Wahls realized that it was up to her to take control of her health. Dr. Wahls came to realize that redesigning a paleo-diet to focus on the right nutrients could make a difference. Within months, she experienced massive improvements and is as active as ever. A key part of her recovery centers on feeding the mitochondria. With her redesigned diet, Dr. Wahls is able to better make use of the nutritional compounds that would otherwise be in supplements. Eating lots of green leafy, colorful, and sulfur-rich vegetables is a key part of this. Likewise, there are foods to avoid, particularly gluten and casein. Changing your habits and diet is easier said than done. Most practitioners know the struggle of patient compliance. Dr. Wahls shares some great advice for helping to motivate patients so that they can better take ownership of their health. Have you changed your diet in response to chronic disease? Tell me how it’s going in the comments on the episode page!

  • 225: From Heartbreak to Hope: Two Fertility Success Stories + Big Book News with Amanda Allen and Katie Hill
    Jun 25 2025
    Welcome to today’s special episode, where two of my patients share their powerful fertility success stories. They open up about their struggles, the turning points in their journeys, and how functional medicine played a pivotal role in their healing. After the interviews, I share exciting news about my upcoming book and offer a glimpse into its heartfelt foreword. Thank you for being part of this community—it’s an honor to share these vulnerable, transformative stories with you. Remember, wellness is waiting, and so is your family. 10 Tips for a Successful Fertility Journey: Pay attention to subtle symptoms—they may signal deeper issues. Be your own advocate—don’t settle for quick fixes without answers. PCOS is not a dead end; healing is possible. Get comprehensive testing: hormones, nutrients, sensitivities, and more. Address emotional wounds—they matter more than you think. Use functional medicine to uncover root causes. Detox through herbs, sauna, movement, and supportive supplements. Exercise helps balance hormones and process emotional stress. Be persistent—healing takes time, faith, and the right support. Start sooner—early action leads to better outcomes. Amanda Allen is a wife, mom of three, and business owner in Jupiter, Florida. After battling hidden mold toxicity and enduring years of infertility, she discovered the power of functional medicine and restored her health—ultimately conceiving naturally. Her story is one of patience, perseverance, and healing through faith and functional care. Katie Hill is a passionate wellness advocate. She grew up sensitive to foods and spent years battling hormonal imbalances. After gaining 100 pounds on birth control and losing her cycle, she turned to functional medicine. With testing, dietary changes, and emotional healing, Katie reclaimed her health and now thrives as a mom. In this episode: Amanda’s mold detox journey and emotional perseverance. Katie’s shift from prescriptions to functional care and lifestyle changes. The role of emotional healing in restoring ovarian health. The power of functional medicine as a blueprint for fertility. Insights from Amanda and Katie on patience, faith, and healing. The foreword to my next book: This book exists because of grace, love, and the unwavering support of people who believed in our dream when we could barely hold onto it ourselves. First and foremost, I thank God for the knowledge wisdom, and calling He's placed on my life to serve my patients and help families grow. Every insight in these pages, every breakthrough and understanding, every moment of clarity that led to healing, all of it flows from His infinite wisdom. I'm simply a vessel honored to be used in his plan to bring hope and health to those who desperately need it, to my parents and their incredible network of prayer warriors who faithfully lifted Eric and me up, through every month, every disappointment, every procedure and every glimmer of hope during our decade long fertility journey. Your prayer sustained us when our own faith wavered. You believed for us when we couldn't believe for ourselves. You held our dream in your hearts and carried it to the throne of grace again and again. And I know beyond any doubt that your intercession played a vital role in bringing William and Michael into our lives. To my husband, Eric, my partner in every sense of the word, you stood by my side through 10 years of fertility struggles with the strength and faith that humbled me daily while I was consumed with treatments and protocols. You managed our business, supported our patients, and held our family together when I wanted to give up. You reminded me that God had children for us. When I felt broken, you saw me as whole. This journey tested us in ways we have never imagined, but it also showed me what true partnership looks like. I could not have walked this path with anyone else. To my incredible team at the integrative health and hormone clinic, you're the heartbeat of everything we do during the countless appointments, procedures, and recovery periods, when I needed to step away. You kept our mission alive. You cared for our patients with the same dedication and compassion I would have given them myself. You believed in our functional medicine approach even when others questioned it, and you celebrated every patient's success as if it were your own. This work isn't possible without each of you. Ultimately, I wrote this book for my two miracle sons, William and Michael. One day when you're old enough to understand, I want you to know the journey that brought you here, not because it was easy, but because it was worth every single struggle. I want you to know that you were prayed for, hoped for, and fought for long before you drew your first breath. And I want you to understand that sometimes the most precious gifts come wrapped in the longest waits. I also wrote this book for every couple who is walking the path Eric and I ...

She believes in creating layers of life. From wellness to designer, she has woven together all her favorite parts of life, from travel to art. She continues to peel back the layers of how God designed us to live & thrive while creating a foundation of freedom for her family.
