    The Shocking Truth About Root Canals and Your Health With Thomas Aksnes

    What if the root cause of your chronic illness isn’t just bad genes but the toxins stored in your body from everyday sources like food, water, and even dental work? In this episode, I’m joined by Thomas Aksnes, an expert in holistic health and detoxification. Thomas shares his fascinating journey from dealing with chronic health issues to becoming an advocate for effective detox strategies. We dive into how environmental toxins, poor diet, and even dental health can contribute to systemic inflammation, affecting everything from brain function to gut health. Thomas explains the dangers of root canals, the limitations of conventional medical practices, and how toxins build up in the body. He shares how detoxing with practices like infrared saunas, footbaths, and mindful eating can help release these stored toxins and improve overall well-being.

This conversation is about taking responsibility for your health, healing naturally, and reconnecting with your body to achieve optimal wellness.

    The Shocking Truth About The Fabrics You Wear

    Did you know that there are unseen dangers in our clothing? In this episode, I discuss the hidden toxins lurking in everyday fabrics. Even clothing labeled as organic can contain plastics, dyes, and chemical coatings that are absorbed through the skin or inhaled as microplastics. We explore how polyester, rayon, and petroleum-based fabrics impact the body, disrupt the skin microbiome, and even affect fertility. I dive into the impact of the fast fashion industry, how marketing manipulates us into buying highly toxic fabrics, and why profit often comes before health. Even your sheets and everyday T-shirts may be contributing to hormone disruption, inflammation, and oxidative stress. I also highlight safer alternatives, like certified organic cotton and naturally dyed fabrics, and explain why simplifying your wardrobe can reduce exposure to these hidden toxins. If you’ve ever wondered why skin irritation and allergies persist, this episode will help you make informed decisions that could prevent that. “Your skin is like a mouth. Whatever you put on your skin goes in your body." ~ Warren Phillips In This Episode:  00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - Toxic chemicals in clothing and textiles 02:07 - Fashion marketing drives harmful choices 03:39 - Microplastics from clothing and laundry 05:12 - Chemical load in cotton fabrics 06:32 - Bamboo and rayon: processed and toxic 09:27 - Detergents, fragrances, and wash chemicals 12:04 - The link between polyester undergarments and male fertility 13:45 - Solutions: choose organic, simplify, reduce exposure Resources: - AIZOME Bedding & Basics  - https://aizome-textiles.com/ - Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading certification for textiles made with organic fibers - https://global-standard.org/ - OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances.

    Breaking Free From Toxic Diet Culture With Carrie Lupoli

    What if the real thing keeping you unhealthy is the belief that your worth depends on your weight or how you look? In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Lupoli to discuss the obsession with weight loss, one of the most toxic belief systems in modern health culture. We dive into how diet culture, social media, processed foods, and even the pharmaceutical industry have conditioned us to believe our value is tied to a number on a scale and why that mindset is making us sicker, not healthier. Carrie shares her journey through dieting and body image struggles to the wake-up call that changed everything for her. We talk about why most diets fail, the emotional patterns driving unhealthy behaviors, and how blood sugar regulation, self-awareness, and belief systems play a much bigger role in health than calorie restriction ever will. This conversation is about far more than food. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, breaking free from shame and guilt, and learning how to build true health from the inside out. “There should be nothing that's a higher priority than you taking care of your health, because then you could be a better parent, you can be a better employee or business owner, and you can show up for people in your community better." ~ Carrie Lupoli Resources Mentioned: Join the waiting list for Carrie’s upcoming book, From Corset to Crown!

    How Walking Barefoot Can Improve Mobility and Reduce Pain With Mark Sisson

    What if the reason for your chronic pain and poor mobility isn't aging, but the shoes you wear every day? In this episode, I have the privilege of chatting with Mark Sisson, the founder of Primal Kitchen, who has spent decades disrupting the food industry and creating clean, nutritious condiments and snacks. Today, we’re diving into a new area of his passion: foot health. Mark shares his journey of rediscovering the importance of minimalist footwear and how most modern shoes are contributing to a host of health issues like back pain, knee pain, and poor mobility.  We talk about the mechanics of the foot and how walking in shoes that allow for natural movement can drastically improve your health, and the fascinating connection between foot health and brain health. Mark also talks about his philosophy of primal living, reconnecting with nature, and getting back to the basics of how our bodies were designed to function. If you’ve been struggling with pain, poor mobility, or just want to feel better in your body, this episode is full of practical advice to help you take charge of your health, starting with your feet. “Mobility is one of the defining factors of longevity, and without mobility, you can't experience the wonders of the world. My dream is for everybody to maintain their mobility, agility, and resilience as long as they can, and it starts with foot health." ~ Mark Sisson Resources Mentioned: - Peluva Shoes - https://peluva.com/products/ - Born to Walk by Mark Sisson - https://peluva.com/products/born-to-walk-book?variant=44650255057047 Connect with Mark Sisson: - Website - https://peluva.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wearpeluva/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

    How Mold Toxicity Impacts Your Health and What to Do with Dr. John Kim

    What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or chronically sick isn’t your body failing but the air inside your home? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Kim to unpack one of the most overlooked toxins affecting families today.  Join us as we share our personal experiences as mold survivors and dive into how something as simple as humidity and drywall can create an environment that leads to chronic illness, brain fog, anxiety, and even hormonal and fertility issues. We break down how the release of mycotoxins acts like “biological warfare” on your cells, triggering immune dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and a cascade of symptoms that many people misdiagnose or overlook. Dr. Kim explains why traditional testing often misses the problem, how the “toxic bucket” builds over time, and why some family members get sick while others don’t. If you have been dealing with unexplained symptoms or know someone whose health has suddenly declined without reason, this episode could help you connect the dots and take the first steps toward healing. “The issue is we have a misunderstanding of how mold can impact our body. It’s not just a simple thing… But we have to understand that mold creates a bigger impact on how the body responds and can lead to chronic disease." ~ Dr. John Kim Resources Mentioned: - The ENCORE Method by Dr. John Kim - https://drjohnkim.com/the-encore-method/ - Free Health Assessment - https://drjohnkim.com/free-assessment - Join Dr. John Kim's Community - https://members.drjohnkim.com/communities/groups/kim-wellness/home Non-Toxic Dad Recommended Products: - True Carbon Cleanse - https://revelationhealth.com/collections/non-toxic-dad?sort_by=relevance&q=true+carbon+cleanse - CytoDetox - https://revelationhealth.com/products/cytodetox-product - BodyBio Vitamin C - https://revelationhealth.com/products/liposomal-vitamin-c-1 Mold Inspection & Remediation Companies: - We Inspect Mold Inspection Services - https://yesweinspect.com/ - HomeCleanse Mold Elimination Technology Company (Mike Rubino) - https://www.homecleanse.com/ Mold Testing: - Dust/Surface Mycotoxin Testing (preferred over air testing) - Urine Mycotoxin Testing - Thermal Imaging + HVAC Inspection Connect with Dr. John Kim: - Website - https://drjohnkim.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

    Shields Down: Why Your Body Isn't Ready to Conceive

    What if infertility isn’t just physical but driven by subconscious patterns you don’t even realize you have? In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Preston once again to explore a side of toxicity that most people overlook: mental and emotional patterns that can directly impact fertility, relationships, and overall health. We unpack the concept of “baby blocks”—subconscious beliefs, stress patterns, and emotional conditioning that can disrupt hormones and keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight instead of a state of rest, digestion, and reproduction. Jessica shares how tools like breathwork, biofeedback, and communication strategies can help couples reconnect, regulate their nervous systems, and create the internal environment needed for conception. This conversation goes beyond fertility. It’s about healing relationships, rebuilding connection, and addressing the deeper emotional patterns that shape our health and lives. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting results, this episode will challenge you to look inward and give you practical tools to move forward. “It's so hard to talk about thoughts and emotions being part of what we need to address because it's so hard. It’s not like removing a toxin like BPA from your home. Your mind is always with you." ~ Jessica Preston Resources Mentioned: - HeartMath Biofeedback - A tool used to regulate the nervous system and shift the body into a “rest, digest, and procreate” state for optimal hormone balance - Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg) - A communication framework designed to improve emotional connection and reduce conflict in relationships - Imago Dialogue - A structured communication technique that helps couples feel heard, supported, and connected - De Novo Fertility Program - Jessica Preston’s program that's designed to help couples overcome infertility by addressing mindset, physiology, and relationship dynamics.
