Learn more about Dr. Kelly Brogan's signature health protocol, Vital Mind Reset here.What if everything you’ve been told about parasites is wrong?In this explosive episode, Kelly sits down with Dr. Daniel Roytas—clinical educator, researcher, and author of Can You Catch a Cold?—to unravel one of the most deeply held beliefs in both mainstream and alternative health: the idea that parasites are invaders that must be eradicated. Daniel’s work challenges the foundations of germ theory and dives into the seductive psychology of victim consciousness that underpins much of modern medicine—yes, even “natural” medicine.Get ready to question everything you think you know about gut health, parasite cleanses, and even the existence of so-called “pathogenic” organisms. This conversation exposes how medical myths get recycled, how belief systems override biology, and why the real toxin might not be what’s in your gut—but how you think about your body. From pleomorphism and misdiagnosis to the spiritual implications of blaming nature for our ailments, this is a no-holds-barred exploration of what it truly means to reclaim health in a toxic world. If you’ve ever taken black walnut tincture or been told your symptoms are due to “Lyme,” you need to hear this.You’ll Learn:How the “parasite cleanse” trend may reinforce victim consciousnessWhy the existence of parasites—even in medical literature—is still up for debateWhat polymorphism reveals about the adaptability of microbes inside the bodyHow artifacts in lab tests can lead to false parasite diagnosisWhy asymptomatic “infections” challenge germ theory logicHow certain worms may actually protect the body from toxinsWhat anti-parasitic herbs might really be doing to support detox pathwaysHow the Lyme disease narrative can distract from root causes of illnessWhy focusing on “killing pathogens” may prolong chronic symptomsHow to prioritize foundational health practices over fear-based protocolsTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[01:03] Why parasites are the sacred cow of alternative medicine[02:22] How parasite belief crosses both conventional and alt-health circles[03:56] The link between parasite obsession and victim consciousness[05:28] What we’re actually talking about when we say “parasites”[06:43] Why some “parasites” might not cause illness at all[08:19] New research suggesting many parasites are harmless[10:26] The problem with asymptomatic infection logic[12:47] How artifacts are misidentified as parasites in lab tests[14:40] Why the theory of pleomorphism changes everything[16:48] Studying microbes outside the body vs. inside[19:14] How healthy people test positive for “pathogenic” organisms[21:30] Why immune system explanations don’t add up[24:42] What worms may actually be doing in your gut[27:10] The surprising detox role of certain parasites[30:44] Why “anti-parasitic” herbs may work for a different reason[33:03] What’s really happening when people pass worms[35:05] The emotional and cultural grip of Lyme disease[38:16] Why misdiagnosing the cause keeps people stuck[41:26] Simple practices that matter more than parasite cleanses[43:45] How parasite fear reflects a deeper healing patternWant to start a podcast like this one?

What if your anxiety isn’t in your mind—but in your field?In this episode, Kelly sits down with researcher, inventor, and Biofield Tuning founder Eileen McKusick, whose groundbreaking work challenges everything we think we know about healing, consciousness, and the human body. With nearly 30 years of experience decoding the electric blueprint of the body using sound, Eileen has mapped the energetic anatomy that surrounds and informs our physical form—and she’s proving it’s more than just woo.You’ll learn how unresolved trauma shows up as electrical noise in your field, why thoughts aren’t stored in your brain, and how tuning forks can uncover—and dissolve—lifelong emotional patterns. Eileen breaks down the science of vibrational healing in language that’s as sharp as it is accessible, offering a powerful new lens for understanding everything from anxiety and chronic pain to inherited trauma and illness. Whether you're energy-curious or deep down the frequency rabbit hole, this conversation will leave you rethinking what it means to be coherent—and how to reclaim your signal.You’ll Learn:How tuning forks activate your body’s innate ability to reorganize and self-healWhat emotional tones in the biofield reveal about stored trauma and subconscious patterningWhy thoughts are stored in the energy field—not the brain—and how that changes healingHow to detect and decode the vibrational “noise” that disrupts health and flowWhat coherence in your biofield actually means—and how it drives physical resilienceHow sound interacts with the plasma body to shift emotional and physiological statesWhy most chronic symptoms stem from unresolved tension patterns, not pathologyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[01:45] How thoughts may exist outside the brain[02:30] Practical ways to bring coherence to your energy field[03:05] The idea that humans are electric beings[05:30] What it means to live in a vibrational cosmology[08:05] Tuning forks as tools for energetic feedback[10:05] Why vibes don’t lie—reading emotion through frequency[12:10] What tuning forks reveal about emotional memory[14:05] How emotional patterns are stored in specific zones of the field[16:45] Why anyone can learn to feel energetic distortions[17:30] Memories are stored outside the body in magnetic standing waves[22:30] A shocking example of inherited trauma imprinting in the womb[27:25] The hidden role of worthiness in chronic pain and illness[29:10] What coherence actually means for your body and mind[33:00] Why injuries often occur in incoherent zones of your field[35:10] How forks imprint coherent frequency back into the system[38:00] The link between stress, bone loss, and electrical depletion[40:00] Water, memory, and the vibrational nature of the body[45:00] Rewiring subconscious loops to release stuckness[48:40] 174hz fork to deepen relaxation[51:00] How tension turns into lightness through tuning[53:30] 528hz fork to brighten the field[55:15] How tension suppresses emotional expression[57:00] Resilience as the new immunityWant to start a podcast like this one?

Learn more about Dr. Kelly Brogan's signature health protocol, Vital Mind Reset here.“Most ‘biohacks’ numb your body—this one helps it remember how to heal.”In this episode, Kelly sits down with Rush Simonson, Chairman and CEO of Juvent Health, a company pioneering a regenerative health tech that’s quietly disrupting everything we think we know about movement, aging, and musculoskeletal vitality. With over 25 years in medtech and surgical innovation, Rush has seen what works—and more importantly, what doesn’t—when it comes to long-term healing. His journey from spinal implants to cellular biomechanics reveals a truth most wellness circles ignore: real health is mechanical, cellular, and shockingly primal.This conversation dives deep into the science behind micro-impact, why traditional vibration plates may be doing more harm than good, and how your body’s innate regenerative systems—bone density, joint repair, lymphatic flow, proprioception—are directly linked to how often, and how effectively, you move. You’ll learn why walking barefoot could be the most powerful supplement you’re not taking, how micro-motion affects brain health and even Parkinson’s outcomes, and why this subtle technology could keep your parents out of assisted living.
