  • Ep. 159 We explore the world of parasites with Kim Rogers, aka "The Worm Queen." With 18 years of experience in western medicine, Kim is one of the few experts boldly tackling this often-ignored topic, shedding light on the 95% of people who may unknowingly be living with parasites. We discuss the symptoms, causes, and how to cleanse your body, along with tips on water purification, food safety, and holistic therapies. Kim makes this eye-opening (and slightly terrifying) subject both approachable and empowering, helping you take control of your health with practical advice.

  • Ep. 157 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, Dr. Tyna Moore, a naturopathic and chiropractic physician with expertise in regenerative medicine, joins us to provide clarity on GLP-1 medications. With a background in metabolic health and chronic pain management, Dr. Tyna explains how GLP-1s can benefit individuals with weight loss goals, PCOS, and insulin resistance. She shares valuable advice on individualizing doses, understanding how these medications interact with insulin and muscle mass, and how to approach conversations with doctors about your dosage. We also cover the risks associated with Ozempic, especially in those dealing with metabolic dysfunction, and discuss how these drugs impact areas like fertility and chronic pain.

She opens up about the chaos of life with horses, dogs, and a massive trailer, while staying true to her no-filter approach to content creation. In this episode, we dive into everything from horse care and training to navigating grief and embracing life unapologetically.

We dive into the powerful effects of chronic illness and lifestyle choices, discussing the influence of school lunch programs, hormone disruptors, and the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Marty also shares how cultural obedience within the healthcare system can delay necessary change and offers practical steps for optimizing family health, especially for children.
