Rachel sits down with Kim Rogers, the “Worm Queen” and co-founder of Rogers Hood Apothecary. After 20+ years deep in Western medicine and a near-death health collapse, Kim discovered that parasites, mold, Lyme, and toxic water were at the root of her mysterious symptoms. If you’ve been told “your labs are fine” but you still feel awful, this conversation will blow your mind. What We Cover From insider to rebel: 20+ years in Western medicine, writing national health exams, running 25+ colleges, and why Kim walked away.The health crash: Moldy home. Contaminated water. Chronic Lyme. Autoimmune encephalitis. Near death in 2019.The “toilet moment”: First parasite cleanse in 2021 → roundworms, flukes, pinworms visibly in the toilet within 3 days.Misdiagnosed for decades: Stage 4 endometriosis, hysterectomy at 29, 13 surgeries, now linked to parasites, mold, and Lyme.The toxic trio: How parasites, mold, and Lyme hide together in biofilm and drive autoimmune and mystery illness.Water wake-up call: Community well in Washington state testing positive for nematodes and protozoa. Why you should filter all water (drinking, shower, brushing teeth, washing produce).Pets & barefoot grounding: Why walking barefoot where your dog poops (or letting pets lick you) is a parasite highway.Parasites as energy thieves: Fatigue, brain fog, pain, mood swings, autoimmune flares, how parasites steal your nutrients and energy.Why binders matter: Die-off = toxin dump. Using charcoal/Cinnamon binder so toxins leave your body instead of recirculating.Herbs vs. synthetics: Ivermectin, fenbendazole, etc. ~ when they help, when they backfire, and why Kim starts with herbal cleanses.How often to cleanse: Simple rhythm: 30 days on, 7 days off, 30 days on if needed, or 3-4 times/year as maintenance.Lymph & mold support: Opening drainage (pee, poop, sweat) with the LYMF kit, plus a dedicated mold kit for brain fog and toxicity.Health sovereignty: Getting out of fear, learning your body, and becoming the CEO of your own health.Links & Resources (Placeholders) Free eBooks & resources from Kim: https://rogershood.com/resources/Rachel’s affiliate link + code RAWWELLNESS20: https://rogershood.com/ref/3002/Connect with Kim (IG/TikTok): https://www.instagram.com/rogershoodapothecary/ https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsrogershood
