The Doctors No More Podcast is hosted by Dr Jeremy Ayres and Dr Gareth Thomas, seasoned practitioners in natural medicine with over 50 years of combined clinical experience, exploring the deeper patterns of dis-ease that emerge when physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health fall out of alignment. Each week, they move beyond symptom management and medical dogma to examine the unconventional, the ignored, and the uncomfortable — tracing how stress, trauma, belief systems, lifestyle, and meaning shape the body’s signals — in order to bring the true roots of health and healing back into the present, so people can reclaim clarity, resilience, and genuine personal empowerment.

    From Mistrust To Meaning: The New Medicine

    Get in touch. Send a text! What if the future of healthcare isn’t about smarter algorithms, but about remembering what care feels like? We open the door to a health renaissance where evidence meets essence, and people are treated as whole beings with bodies, minds, and souls. This is a frank, funny, and fiercely humane conversation about why trust in institutions has cracked, how lifestyle medicine is finally taking center stage, and where AI fits—as a tool for logistics, not a replacement for presence. We unpack the cultural whiplash of the last few years, from rigid slogans to lived experiences that didn’t match the script. Along the way, we explore the rise of prevention, the power of food and sleep, the quiet force of relationships and community, and the role of “controlled trauma” like surgery to buy time for deeper repair. We don’t shy away from controversy or complexity; we insist on open inquiry, transparent data, and space for questions that lead to better care. Our vision is practical and bold: conventional medicine sharpens emergency and surgical excellence; integrative teams guide nutrition, movement, breath, and trauma processing; and a new “multiversity” brings maverick scientists and indigenous teachers together to test ideas, share language, and scale what works. Healing becomes a partnership. The patient becomes the protagonist. Illness turns from verdict into teacher, helping people rediscover purpose and coherence in daily life. If you’re ready to imagine a healthcare system that serves humans, not just metrics, join us. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs a hopeful reframe, and leave a review with the one change you believe would make care more human.

    From Flexner To Pharma: How Evidence Got Lost And Healing Got Small

    Get in touch. Send a text! What if the turning point in modern medicine wasn’t a breakthrough, but a breakup? We trace the long shadow of the Flexner Report. How industrial money centralized medical education, narrowed acceptable practice, and quietly turned healing into a colder, more profitable machine. From accreditation strings to research funding, we unpack why “evidence-based” so often means “evidence that got funded,” and how conflicts of interest distort what doctors learn, prescribe, and measure as success. Across the hour, we map the widening gap between care delivered and health achieved. Chronic disease rises while institutions tout more procedures and bigger budgets. We contrast symptom suppression with health creation and revisit history’s unglamorous heroes—sanitation, clean water, light, and nourishment. Terrain matters: circadian rhythm, structured water, and the microbiome form a living context you can’t reduce to a single molecule. We explore how gut ecology and emotion speak to each other, why seasons bring detox patterns, and how reductionism misses the larger harmonics that actually move people from illness to vitality. This isn’t an anti-science rant; it’s a call to restore its soul. Keep the brilliance of trauma care and diagnostics, but widen the frame to include whole-person practice, ethical evidence, and incentives that reward fewer patients getting sick. We share stories from clinics and classrooms where compassion meets rigor, and we outline a path forward: integrate terrain-first care, fund open comparative trials, and train clinicians as healers who can hold complexity with clarity. If you’re ready to question the defaults and imagine a humane, integrated, and truly effective healthcare, press play. Then share this with a friend, tune in next week for the next deep dive, and leave a review with the one dogma you think medicine most needs to rethink.

    The Doctors No More Podcast: Episode 3; From Oath to Hypocritic; Healing or Harm

    Get in touch. Send a text! A quiet moment by a fishing lake opens a door to something bigger: how wisdom, rites of passage, and honest mentorship shape health long before a diagnosis. From there, we dig into the heart of medicine, the meaning of an oath, and why the original Hippocratic Oath anchored physicians to a higher power and a sacred duty to preserve life. When that anchor loosened in 1964, the center of gravity shifted. Pharmaceuticals stepped to the front, the oath turned into a mere covenant, and the power to take life crept into the text. Words change culture; culture changes outcomes. We connect the dots between wound and symptom, showing how emotional and spiritual fractures calcify into physical disease. Rather than waiting for crisis, we explore prevention as a lived practice: aligned choices in food, light, sleep, and relationships that restore flow. Dietetics returns to its roots when food is understood as stored sunlight and vibration, not a colorless tally of macros. We talk fasting, seasonal eating, and why hospital trays loaded with processed feed betray medicine’s promise. When the body isn’t forced to digest noise, it can conduct signal—the spirit lifts, the tissue rebuilds, and the person remembers their direction. You’ll also hear a straight look at iatrogenesis, the culture of fear in clinical settings, and why empathy and presence are not “nice to have” but the core tools of a true physician. Surgery becomes what it always was, controlled trauma reserved for when gentler paths have been honoured. The calling is simple and demanding: serve life, do no harm, and help align body, mind, emotion, and spirit so the person can heal themselves. If you’re ready to rethink what healing requires, from oath to plate to bedside, then press play, share this with a friend, and tell us: what would you restore to medicine first? Subscribe, rate, and leave a review to keep these conversations alive. This week we explore the Hippocratic Oath, its sacred nature and how it's morphed over time.

    Doctors No More Podcast: Episode 2: Autism, Toxins, And Taking Back Health

    Get in touch. Send a text! A six-foot metal rooster shouldn’t lead to a talk about autism, toxins, and the future of healthcare—but humor is often how we find our way into hard truths. We start light, then go deep: what’s driving the surge in autism diagnoses, how mercury, aluminum, and EMFs intersect with the nervous system, and why “you’re not sick, you’re toxic” resonates for so many families on the edge of burnout. We get specific. Mercury’s long, unsettling history meets modern loads from adjuvants and the environment. Bluetooth isn’t magic—it’s microwave by another name—and constant exposure agitates the water-based systems that keep brains calm and organized. We examine delayed-vaccine schedules, contested polio narratives, and why informed consent must include plain-language ingredient lists and realistic risk. Then we zoom out to the energetic body: every material carries a frequency, and low, dense inputs can clamp down on clarity and regulation. Parents see it daily—screens captivate while derailing sleep and mood; the sea and salt air reset spiraling behavior in hours. This conversation isn’t about blame; it’s about agency. We map out simple, high-leverage shifts: wire your audio, curfew the router, ground bedrooms, prioritize mineral-rich real food, and plan regular doses of ocean, forest, and sunlight. We talk about building biology for healthier homes and the kind of medicine that teaches people to need us less. There’s space for surgery and urgent care, but chronic conditions demand a different contract—one built on autonomy, curiosity, and a working model of how energy and chemistry co-create health. If you’ve felt gaslit by “evidence” that doesn’t match real life, or if a day at the beach has told you more about your child’s needs than a file of reports, you’re our people. Listen, share with someone who needs hope, and tell us: what one change will you make this week to reduce toxic load and raise your family’s coherence? Subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation—we’re building back better habits, together.
