    #159 Is Your Home Making You Sick? | Ryan Blaser of Test My Home

    What if the reason you're exhausted, foggy, anxious, inflamed, or constantly not feeling like yourself… is actually your home?  Most people think about health through the lens of food, supplements, hormones, or fitness. But what if the air you breathe, the water you shower in, the mold hidden behind your walls, the chemicals in your home, or even the EMFs surrounding you every day are silently impacting your body? In this eye-opening episode, Autumn sits down with Ryan Blaser, founder and CEO of Test My Home, to uncover the hidden environmental stressors affecting modern homes and the people living inside them. With a background in electrical engineering, environmental toxicology, mold remediation, and building biology, Ryan has spent years helping families identify the unseen toxins contributing to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, sleep disruption, chronic inflammation, and more. After becoming seriously ill from mold exposure himself, Ryan turned his personal health crisis into a mission: helping others create healthier living environments and uncover root causes many people never think to investigate. Inside this episode, we discuss: • Mold toxicity and hidden water damage • Why "clean-looking" homes can still be toxic • Indoor air quality and brain fog • EMF exposure and sleep disruption • Chemicals hiding in everyday products • Water contamination and microplastics • Why new homes can sometimes be the most toxic • Air purifiers, healthy home tips, and practical changes you can make today • The surprising connection between environmental toxins and chronic symptoms Ryan also shares real stories from homes he's tested, including cases involving severe mold exposure, neurological symptoms, emotional changes, and hidden environmental triggers most people would never suspect. This conversation will completely change the way you think about your home, your health, and the environment surrounding you every single day.  ✴️ Find Test My Home on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or  YouTube 🏠 Home Cleanse is the company Ryan highlighted for a high-level mold remediation option.        🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #158 Injecting Truth: What Parents Aren't Told About Vaccines

    What if parents were given only half the conversation before making one of the biggest medical decisions for their children? In this episode of Know Better | Do Better, Autumn sits down with Angela, healthcare professional, mother, and creator of Injecting Truth, to discuss vaccines, informed consent, medical freedom, package inserts, adverse event reporting systems, and the questions many families never realize to ask. After her son experienced a reaction following his two-month visit, Angela began researching for herself and quickly discovered a side of the conversation she says is rarely discussed inside traditional medical settings.  Together, they explore vaccine ingredients, aluminum exposure, informed consent, VAERS reporting, safety studies, chronic illness, childhood health, and why more parents are beginning to question the "safe and effective" narrative they've been told for years. Whether you agree, disagree, or are simply curious, this episode challenges listeners to think deeper, ask questions, and understand the importance of informed medical decisions.  In this episode: • What informed consent should actually look like  • Vaccine ingredients and package inserts  • Why VAERS reporting matters  • Concerns surrounding aluminum and other additives  • How adverse reactions are often dismissed  • Why more parents are questioning vaccines  • The importance of researching primary sources  • Medical freedom, autonomy, and advocacy  Sometimes the most important questions are the ones nobody told you to ask. ✴️ Connect with Angela on Facebook & Instagram      🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    #157 When Medicine Becomes a Verdict | A Solo Cast on Symptoms, Labels, and Real Healing

    What if your symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're the proof your body is still working exactly the way God designed it to? In this solo episode, I challenge the idea that diagnoses define your future and explore how fear, labels, and compliance quietly reshape how we think about our bodies. Somewhere along the way, medicine stopped being a tool and started becoming a verdict. Your body isn't broken. It's communicating. And the moment a label becomes identity, captivity begins. If you've ever been told "this is just how it is now," this conversation may change how you see your health forever.

    #156 The Most Nutrient-Dense Bone Broth Your Body's Been Missing

    What if one of the most powerful superfoods for your bones, gut health, and hormones was already made for you, sourced from New Zealand grass-fed cattle, packed with nutrients, and required almost no effort on your part? This week, I'm talking with Kristy Corah, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and distributor of Best of the Bone, about why traditional bone broth is making such a strong comeback and what makes this particular broth different from typical grocery store options.

In this conversation: • Why bone broth is considered a foundational food  • What makes Best of the Bone different from store-bought options  • Why sourcing and slow preparation matter for nutrient density  • How bone broth supports gut, joint, bone, and hormone health  • Simple ways to incorporate it into everyday meals  About Kristy: Kristy Corah is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, avid cyclist, and gut health advocate who helps bring Best of the Bone to the United States through Nourishing Broths.

    What if the symptoms you've been chasing for years weren't random at all? What if they were coming from something you were told was completely safe? In today's episode, we talk with Sonya Dudley about breast implant illness, the decades she spent searching for answers, and the moment she finally asked the question she had avoided for years: Could her implants be affecting her health?  For years, Sonya lived with a collection of obscure, unexplained symptoms that never seemed connected. Like many women, she never imagined her breast implants could be part of the story. Until something shifted.

If you've ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something but no one had answers, this episode may open an important door. In this episode: • What breast implant illness can look like over time • Why many women never consider implants as a cause • The moment Sonya began connecting the dots • What changed after explant surgery • How listening to your body can reshape your health journey Sometimes healing begins with asking a different question. 👤 Sonya Dudley is a seasoned leader of over 30 years in network marketing and a gut health advocate, as well as a top leader with Plexus. She is a certified John Maxwell coach, speaker, and mentor who has spent decades helping others strengthen their mindset and navigate personal transformation.

    #154 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Explained with Dr. Scott Sherr

    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is one of the most powerful tools in modern integrative medicine… but most people don't actually understand what it does or when it should be used. This week we are joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine physician and hyperbaric oxygen therapy specialist, to explore how oxygen under pressure influences healing at the cellular level. He unpacks how hyperbaric therapy supports stem cell activity, reduces inflammation, improves mitochondrial function, and helps the body repair itself more efficiently. Just as importantly, Dr. Sherr explains why timing matters and why advanced therapies often work best after foundational health systems are optimized first. The conversation also explores methylene blue for mitochondrial support and GABA's role in calming an overactive nervous system, offering practical insight into how energy, stress, and recovery are deeply connected. If you've ever wondered whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy could support brain health, chronic illness recovery, or long-term resilience, this episode brings clarity to what's really happening inside the chamber. Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician, Health Optimization Medicine practitioner, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy specialist. He serves as Chief Medical and Health Education Officer at Troscriptions and works with integrative technologies supporting energy, recovery, and nervous system health. ✴️ Connect with Dr. Sherr on Instagram, YouTube, or Linkedin ✳️ Learn more about Dr. Sherr's work through his organizations Troscriptions, HomeHope, and One Base Health.     🔥 Own Your Wellness Revolution 🔥 Ready to ditch the status quo and reclaim your health?  Here's how to start: 🗓️ Snag a FREE 30-Minute Strategy Call Book your one-on-one with Autumn and map out your path to a stronger, freer you.  🌀 Shop Smarter, Live Cleaner Check out the 'Know Better | Do Better' Amazon Storefront for handpicked gear to fuel your healthy rebellion.  🛒 Grab the FREE Clean Swap Guide Download now and swap out the junk for healthier alternatives—no excuses.  📧  Join the 'Know Better | Do Better' Newsletter for exclusive guest drops, insider tips, and subscriber-only fire—hit subscribe!  🌟 Link Up with Autumn Stay in the loop and join the tribe:  Instagram  Facebook TikTok

    What if one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet… isn't even in your diet? Autumn sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits®, to explore one of the most overlooked tools in modern nutrition: algae.
