Take Back Your Health®

Dr. Amy Myers, MD

Conventional Medicine Failed Me and It Is My Mission to Not Have It Fail You Too℠ Are you tired of being dismissed by your doctor, told it's all in your head, or that your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood swings are just a normal part of aging? Perhaps you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto's or Graves' disease, leaky gut, Candida overgrowth, SIBO, parasites, toxic mold exposure, or Lyme disease — and your doctor still cannot get to the root cause. You are not alone, and you are in the right place. Dr. Amy Myers, MD is a former ER physician, functional medicine pioneer, and living proof that another way is possible. In her second year of medical school she was diagnosed with Graves' disease, placed on suppressive medication, and ultimately had her thyroid ablated with radioactive iodine I-131 — experiencing firsthand exactly what conventional medicine gets wrong. That loss became her life's mission. Dr. Myers has since helped millions worldwide reverse their chronic health conditions through her two New York Times bestselling books The Autoimmune Solution™ and The Thyroid Connection™, her proven protocol The Myers Way®, and her physician-formulated supplements line AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD®. Each week, Dr. Myers brings you solo episodes and candid deep-dives with the world's leading experts in functional medicine — translating cutting-edge science into tools you can use.

    47. Are Mammograms Really Saving More Lives? With Dr. Jenn Simmons

    What if everything you have been told about mammograms is wrong? In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Jenn Simmons, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, to break down what QT imaging actually is, why mammograms have no proven survival benefit, and what every woman needs to know about breast cancer screening right now. After a decade of mammograms and two breast cancer scares, I switched to QT scanning two years ago, and I am never going back. We cover the science behind QT technology, why DCIS is being overtreated, and what you can do today to prevent a breast cancer diagnosis, not just screen for one. About Dr. Jenn Simmons: Dr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, and author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer. After 17+ years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon, she now helps women prevent and heal from breast cancer using a root-cause approach.

    45. Love, Loss, and Faith: How Grief, a Cancer Scare, and a Spiritual Journey Transformed My Life

    Season 2 is here and I am starting it with the episode I have needed to record for a long time. The last few years have been the hardest of my life. My sister died of triple negative breast cancer at 31, I faced my own cancer scares, I went through toxic mold exposure and PTSD, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I found my way back to faith. In this solo episode, I walk you through all of it honestly: the mammogram callback that started a two-year testing spiral, why I stopped circulating tumor cell screening, what EMDR did for my nervous system that nothing else could, and how Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and clarigenic medicine gave me back a relationship with something greater than myself. I also talk about my daughter Elle and the bullying that quietly dismantled her confidence, and the school change that gave her back to me in less than a week. And I share what is coming: a revised The Autoimmune Solution™ with new sections on trauma, COVID, and long COVID; a new website; and the Dr. Myers Inner Circle. I have missed you. I am back. And I have a lot left to do.

    44. From Carbon 60 to Anti-M: Exploring the Science of Cancer Support with Ian Mitchell

    For many, navigating a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. While mainstream treatments like chemotherapy remain foundational, emerging scientific research offers exciting new ways to support overall health and wellness during treatment. This week, I'm joined by Ian Mitchell, a research scientist and pharmaceutical consultant. We explore groundbreaking insights into Carbon 60 (C60), a compound with unique properties, and how it may complement lifestyle strategies like ketosis for those looking to support their health during cancer treatment. In this episode, you'll discover: What Is Carbon 60 (C60): C60 is a carbon-based molecule known for its antioxidant properties. When paired with lipids, it may interact with cellular membranes in mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress and promote energy production at the cellular level. "All of your inflammatory markers go down simultaneously while your energy levels are going up," says Mitchell. "And so you feel very robust."The Importance of Ketosis: A ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carbohydrate, high-fat nutrition, has been studied for its potential to support metabolic health. Mitchell shares how this dietary approach may create an environment that challenges cancer cell growth while supporting healthy DNA integrity. How C60 Fits into a Comprehensive Wellness Plan: C60’s unique properties allow it to promote healthy cell function while reducing oxidative stress. Mitchell explains how incorporating C60 into a broader health regimen, alongside a supportive diet, may help optimize cellular health and resilience.Chemotherapy Can Be Effective—to an Extent: While chemotherapy plays a crucial role in many treatment plans, Mitchell and I discuss why personalized approaches to wellness and treatment may provide better outcomes. "You have this type of cancer, but nobody is checking to see if in your very specific case, does this chemotherapy work or not?" shares Dr. Myers. 07:24 Carbon 60 and Its Biological Impact 15:14 Cancer Treatment Innovations 27:52 Challenges in the Pharmaceutical Industry 36:59 Diving into Cancer Research 39:09 Exploring Metabolic Approaches to Cancer Treatment 40:27 Personal Experiences with Medical Controversies 41:43 The Role of Ketogenic Diets and Supplements in Cancer Treatments 42:59 Overcoming Medical Challenges with Alternative Therapies 48:02 Success Stories and Setbacks in Cancer Treatment 56:40 Preventative Measures and Long-Term Health Strategies Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Ian Mitchell: Website: https://wizardsciences.com/ Email: support@wizardsciences.com Resources Mentioned: Wizard Oil

    43. Unlocking Peak Health: The Healing Power of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy with Dr. Scott Sherr

    Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have long been used for acute issues such as strokes and brain injuries—but can they be used for chronic conditions as well? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, an internal medicine physician certified in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We sat down to discuss what makes this chamber "a wound healer from the inside out" as well as the proper protocols one should follow before even considering oxygen therapy for chronic issues. In this episode, you'll discover: The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): As soon as you step into the hyperbaric chamber, your body works to reoxygenate the cells in low-oxygen tissue.Having a Healthy Foundation Is Key "You want to get some of that foundational stuff working before you start stressing the system with oxygen," says Dr. Sherr.HBOT's Role In Cancer Treatment: Dr. Sherr uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy in conjunction with other interventions, such as vitamin C IVs and a ketogenic diet, as a way to support and sensitize people for chemotherapy and radiationWhat Methylene Blue Does: In terms of supplemental support, Dr. Sherr turns to methylene blue, which helps optimize the mitochondria, while promoting detoxification at the same time Resources: OxyHealth Hyperbarics Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Episode mentioned with Dr. Shai Efrati on HBOT: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bwEfDrSU5RTpwOkMwYf3L?si=e96668253f504c10 Connect with Dr. Sherr: Website: https://www.hyperbaricmedicalsolutions.com/integrative-hbot/scott-sherr Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) Practice: https://home-sf.co/ OneBase Health website: https://onebasehealth.com/ Methylene blue product: https://troscriptions.com/pages/team/dr-scott-sherr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsherr/

    42. From Diagnosis to Thriving: How Taylor Dukes Chose Integrative Medicine to Heal Brain Cancer

    A free way to support your cancer treatment? Shifting your mindset and finding the positives in life. This week, I'm joined by Taylor Dukes, a family nurse practitioner, mother of two, and former colleague. We sat down to discuss her cancer journey—from finding out she had a brain tumor to entering remission—what she's learned in the years since her initial diagnosis, and how reframing her mindset helped her thrive. In this episode, you'll discover: Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment: When doctors found a brain tumor in Dukes' right frontal lobe, the mother of two didn't jump straight into surgery. Instead, she implemented a lot of integrative therapies such as coffee enemas, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, wearing a red light helmet, and more. "In the five months between when I got diagnosed and when I actually had surgery, we were able to shrink the brain tumor in half," says Duke." The Power of Positive Thinking: Dukes, who currently has "no evidence of disease," believes that as long as you’re breathing, there is always hope and there are always options. "No diagnosis, no test, no statistic has the ability to figure out the number of your days," says Dukes, who credits prayer and meditation for her mindset. "Your mind is powerful and what you believe is so, so powerful."Maintaining Your Health After Cancer: Two years after her diagnosis, Dukes is now in maintenance mode and focuses on getting her immune system back on track. She keeps up with regular fasting, eats a lower-carb diet, and alternates between red light therapy, ozone therapy, and sauna. “I'm starting specific therapies to target the co-infections and Lyme markers I have,” she says.

    41. Healing Through Hardship: My Experience with Toxic Mold Exposure, PTSD, and a Cancer Scare

    I am excited to say that I have wrapped up season 1 of my Take Back Your Health™ podcast. For the last episode of the season, I have finally recorded my first solo cast. This is not just any solo cast. This is so personal and vulnerable for me—I literally bared it all in this episode. I share what ups and downs I have been through over the last three years and, most importantly, a big health scare. I hold back tears (for the most part) as I describe almost being diagnosed with cancer and all of the very outside-the-box treatments I tried to finally get the all clear. As the season comes to a close I want to thank you all for listening and let you know how very much I appreciate all of your support. I love what I do, and if I’m being honest, so much has transpired in my personal life. I’m finding it challenging to envision a season 2. It can be tough to publish a podcast episode every week. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the effort it takes to work on my podcast, and weighing whether to keep going. So, I want to hear from you! If my podcast has helped you in any way and you would like to hear a season 2, please let me know. Regardless of what the future holds, I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this journey to Take Back Your Health™. 02:54 Challenges and Personal Struggles 03:15 Mold Issues and PTSD 07:09 Legal Battles and Separation 09:00 Health Scares and Family Support 12:57 Exploring Alternative Medicine 18:07 Spiritual Journeys and Healing 28:57 Reflections and Future Plans 36:06 Practical Health Advice 42:00 Cancer Recommendations Episodes , books, & resources mentioned: The Devastating Effects of Toxic Mold Exposure with Ann Shippy, MD: https://amymd.io/5 The Power of EMDR therapy: Overcoming Trauma and Anxiety with Ginger Poag: https://amymd.io/6 The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer (with Jenn Simmons, MD): https://amymd.io/7 From Prevention to Treatment: Inside Dr. Connealy’s Integrative Cancer Solutions: https://amymd.io/c Autoimmune Diseases, Trauma, and Psychedelic Therapies with Dr. Sara Gottfried: https://amymd.io/8 The Terrain Approach to Cancer: Dr. Nasha Winters on Revolutionizing Integrative Oncology: https://amymd.io/9 The Cancer Revolution: A Groundbreaking Program to Reverse and Prevent Cancer by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy: https://amymd.io/a The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies by Dr. Nasha Winters: https://amymd.io/b Prenuvo: https://prenuvo.com/
