    #155 Breast Implant Illness: Sonya Dudley's Journey to Healing

    08/04/2026 | 39 mins.
    What if the symptoms you've been chasing for years weren't random at all?
    What if they were coming from something you were told was completely safe?
    In today's episode, we talk with Sonya Dudley about breast implant illness, the decades she spent searching for answers, and the moment she finally asked the question she had avoided for years:
    Could her implants be affecting her health? 
    For years, Sonya lived with a collection of obscure, unexplained symptoms that never seemed connected. Like many women, she never imagined her breast implants could be part of the story.
    Until something shifted.
    This conversation walks through the turning point that changed everything, the emotional decision to explant, and what happened almost immediately afterward.
    If you've ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something but no one had answers, this episode may open an important door.
    In this episode:
    • What breast implant illness can look like over time
    • Why many women never consider implants as a cause
    • The moment Sonya began connecting the dots
    • What changed after explant surgery
    • How listening to your body can reshape your health journey
    Sometimes healing begins with asking a different question.
    👤 Sonya Dudley is a seasoned leader of over 30 years in network marketing and a gut health advocate, as well as a top leader with Plexus. She is a certified John Maxwell coach, speaker, and mentor who has spent decades helping others strengthen their mindset and navigate personal transformation. Married for 33 years and a proud mom of two grown children, she now shares her story to help women better understand the possible connections between unexplained symptoms and breast implant illness.

    #154 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Explained with Dr. Scott Sherr

    25/03/2026 | 53 mins.
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the most powerful tools in modern integrative medicine… but most people don't actually understand what it does or when it should be used.
    This week we are joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and hyperbaric oxygen therapy specialist, to explore how oxygen under pressure influences healing at the cellular level.
    He unpacks how hyperbaric therapy supports stem cell activity, reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial function, and helps the body repair itself more efficiently. Just as importantly, Dr. Sherr explains why timing matters and why advanced therapies often work best after foundational health systems are optimized first.
    The conversation also explores methylene blue for mitochondrial support and GABA's role in calming an overactive nervous system, offering practical insight into how energy, stress, and recovery are deeply connected.
    If you've ever wondered whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy could support brain health, chronic illness recovery, or long-term resilience, this episode brings clarity to what's really happening inside the chamber.
    Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician, Health Optimization Medicine practitioner, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy specialist. He serves as Chief Medical and Health Education Officer at Troscriptions and works with integrative technologies supporting energy, recovery, and nervous system health.

    #153 The Most Overlooked Superfood: Algae with Dr. Catharine Arnston

    18/03/2026 | 50 mins.
    What if one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet… isn't even in your diet?
    Autumn sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits®, to explore one of the most overlooked tools in modern nutrition: algae.
    What started as a mission to help her sister after a cancer diagnosis led Catharine into decades of research on a food that is over 60% protein, contains 40+ vitamins and minerals, and has been endorsed by organizations like NASA and the United Nations.
    And yet… most people have never considered it.
    In this conversation, we break down:
    • Why algae is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world
    • The difference between spirulina and chlorella
    • How algae supports energy, detoxification, and brain function
    • Why modern diets are missing key nutrients
    • The role of algae in gut health and recovery
    • What to look for in a high-quality algae product
    This episode isn't about adding more complexity. It's about simplifying your approach to health and understanding that sometimes the most powerful solutions have been here all along.
    Because when you know better… you can do better.

    11/03/2026 | 1h 23 mins.
    What if your home was designed to support your health instead of quietly working against it?
    Modern homes are often filled with hidden environmental stressors—from poor air quality and mold exposure to off-gassing furniture, artificial lighting, EMFs, and contaminated water systems. Most people never realize how much their living environment impacts their sleep, hormones, immune system, and overall wellbeing.
    In this episode Autumn sits down with Brian Johnson, founder of SENERGY360 and the only General Contractor in the United States with a triple certification from the Building Biology Institute, to explore what it truly means to build and renovate a holistic health-supporting home.
    Brian blends advanced building science with human biology to design homes that function as living systems—supporting natural rhythms, clean air, pure water, and low-toxic materials.
    Whether you're building a new home or simply looking to make healthier upgrades, this conversation reveals the practical steps that can dramatically improve the environment you live in every day.
    Because the truth is simple: Your home environment may be one of the most overlooked factors in your health.

    #151 Lyme Disease: What the Science Actually Shows with Dr. Sam Bailey

    04/03/2026 | 56 mins.
    What if the story behind Lyme disease isn't as straightforward as we've been told?
    I'm sitting down with Dr. Sam Bailey, medically trained physician, researcher, and co-author of Virus Mania, to explore one of the most debated diagnoses in modern medicine.
    Instead of accepting assumptions, this conversation looks closely at the scientific foundations behind Lyme disease, testing, and the narratives many people never think to question.
    We explore:
    • The history behind the Lyme disease diagnosis
    • How Lyme disease testing actually works
    • The difference between correlation and causation in medical science
    • Why antibody testing may not mean what many believe it means
    • The psychological impact of receiving a diagnosis
    • The terrain perspective on chronic illness
    Dr. Bailey also shares why many people feel trapped by medical labels and how shifting the focus from pathogens to terrain, environment, and lifestyle can open the door to deeper healing.
    If you've ever been diagnosed with Lyme disease, struggle with unexplained symptoms, or want to understand health beyond the conventional narrative, this episode will challenge you to think differently.
    Because sometimes the most important step toward healing is asking better questions.
