Myers Detox Podcast

Restricting food to fix binge eating is like using gasoline to put out a fire. It just won't work! In today's episode, I sit down with Amber Romaniuk to explore the root causes of binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction that most people completely overlook.
Amber shares how low progesterone triggers insatiable cravings by disrupting your hunger signals and mood-stabilizing neurotransmitters, why candida and parasites hijack your brain to demand constant sugar, and how unworthiness created in childhood keeps you trapped in self-sabotage cycles for decades. 
We explore practical solutions such as hormone testing, building energetic boundaries as an empath, healing your inner child, and stopping the all-or-nothing perfectionism that makes every diet backfire.
 
"Once you heal and have your power back, nothing externally influences you anymore. Nothing. You're free." ~ Amber Romaniuk

Your fluoride toothpaste and antiseptic mouthwash may be sabotaging your cardiovascular health and canceling out the benefits of your daily workout.
In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Bryan to uncover how nitric oxide deficiency drives high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, insulin resistance, and even Alzheimer's disease.
Nathan explains why 50% of men on Viagra don't respond with better erections, how mouthwash kills the bacteria your body needs to produce nitric oxide, and why heavy metals scavenge this critical molecule before it can reach your blood vessels. 
We explore practical solutions such as using nitric oxide lozenges, reducing exposure to harmful substances, and supporting the oral microbiome to restore your body's natural production.

Emotional trauma doesn't just live in your mind; it physically reshapes your biology, driving autoimmunity, fatigue, mysterious pain flares, and raising long-term disease risk.
In this episode with Dr. Aimie Apigian, author of the runaway bestseller The Biology of Trauma, we uncover exactly how unprocessed emotional experiences (including the hidden epidemic of neglect) create a chronic freeze state in the nervous system that results in inflammation, toxin accumulation, and self-attack diseases. She explains why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted despite "doing everything right," and how perfectionism, shame, and buried insecurity are often trauma responses showing up as physical symptoms.
We also talk about practical phases of nervous-system healing, starting with safety, so you don't retraumatize yourself trying to "fix" everything at once. This episode is for anyone tired of deciphering lab numbers while the real root stays invisible.
 
"If we're holding onto our trauma, it literally creates the conditions in which it invites different toxins that then make us sick." - Dr. Aimie Apigian
 
In This Episode:
- Why trauma is the missing conversation in medicine
- The body holds onto unresolved experiences
- Emotional trauma and why neglect is the most common form
- Defining neglect: why "too little for too long" is dangerous
- Physical symptoms of emotional trauma
- Three phases of safe trauma healing
- How to heal from unconscious body-held trauma
- Where to find The Biology of Trauma book

The medical system expects you to chase 33 different screening appointments across multiple specialists and check your organs one at a time. But there's a smarter way that scans your entire body in under an hour to catch cancer, aneurysms, fatty liver, and other serious health issues before they become life-threatening.
In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Daniel Durand, Chief Medical Officer of Prenuvo, to talk about the real-world power (and limitations) of proactive whole-body MRI screening.
Dr. Durand walks us through how this advanced screening method detects over 500 conditions, many of which traditional screenings miss. We talk about the importance of early detection for cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and how this proactive approach to health can save lives.
 
"It's better to see things early when you can intervene, and see them in a controlled context when you're healthy." ~ Dr. Daniel Durand
 
In This Episode:
-  Introduction to Dr. Daniel Durand and his background
- Conventional vs whole body scans
- Conditions that whole-body MRI can detect
- Bringing scans to underserved populations
- Imaging for risk identification vs. diagnosis
- How often you should rescan and what to expect
- EMF exposure concerns and MRI safety parameters
- How consumer demand is driving change in medicine
