    Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this solo episode, Dr. Jen Pfleghaar, DO, dives deep into a topic that impacts millions yet is often overlooked — Invisible Disabilities. From chronic fatigue to autoimmune diseases, these are the conditions you can’t always see but that can shape every part of a person’s daily life. Dr. Jen shares her own powerful story of living with and healing from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis — and how that experience ignited her passion for a root cause, integrative approach to medicine.

Plus, she highlights the inspiring work of the Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA) and how you can get involved to raise awareness, advocate for others, and make a difference.

    Is “Organic” Really Healthy? Joel Salatin Reveals the Truth

    Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Joel Salatin—farmer, author, and speaker, famously known as “The Lunatic Farmer.” Joel describes himself as a Christian libertarian, environmentalist, and capitalist, and he’s one of the most provocative voices in the farming and food world. We explore Joel’s story of how his family rebuilt a worn-out farm in Virginia into the now-famous Polyface Farm, featured in The Omnivore’s Dilemma and Food Inc. Joel shares why he rejects the conventional industrial approach to agriculture, instead pioneering mobile and modular farming models that make it possible for new farmers to start with little debt. We dive into the health consequences of factory farming vs. pastured, stress-free animals, the truth about the “organic” label, and why transparency in farming matters more than certifications. Joel also discusses his vision for a “Food Emancipation Proclamation” that would free small farmers to create real, nourishing, convenient food without government overreach. This is an empowering, thought-provoking conversation for anyone who cares about where their food comes from, how it’s grown, and the future of farming.

    Could Mold, Lyme & MCAS Be the Real Cause of Chronic Illness?

    Welcome back to The Integrative Health Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Neil Nathan, MD—physician, teacher, and author with over 50 years of experience helping patients with complex chronic illness. We dive deep into the importance of finding and treating the root causes of illness rather than just masking symptoms. Dr. Nathan shares why listening to a patient’s story is the most powerful diagnostic tool, and how conditions like mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) are often at the core of chronic health struggles. Dr. Nathan walks us through his staged treatment approach—starting with rebooting the limbic and vagal nervous systems, stabilizing mast cells, and then carefully addressing the underlying root cause. We also explore how COVID-19 can unmask hidden illness, why many patients feel unheard in conventional medicine, and how hope is the most powerful medicine of all. This is an eye-opening, compassionate conversation for anyone navigating chronic illness or supporting a loved one through it. PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!
