We are in for a powerful and honest conversation today.

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Dr. Kate Davis, a functional medicine doctor whose personal healing journey completely reshaped the way she approaches gut health, detoxification, and chronic illness. What began as unexplained constipation and bloating in her early 20s eventually revealed a much deeper story—one involving parasites, chronic stress, nervous system overload, and the danger of chasing quick fixes without addressing foundational function.

Together, we unpack why so many people feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” how diet and supplements often fall short, and why unguided detoxes can actually make things worse. This conversation is honest, educational, and deeply reassuring for anyone who has felt overwhelmed, confused, or discouraged on their health journey.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why chronic gut issues are rarely just about food
• How stress, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation impact digestion and immunity
• The hidden danger of jumping into parasite cleanses or detoxes without proper drainage support
• Why symptoms disappearing doesn’t always mean true healing has happened
• How liver, gallbladder, and gut function must be restored before killing infections
• Why supplements often don’t work when absorption pathways are compromised
• How to recognize health misinformation and avoid “one-size-fits-all” solutions
• What it actually means to heal the body from the inside out
• How learning to listen to your body builds trust, resilience, and long-term health

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing things in the right order, with wisdom, patience, and support.
