How did one woman end chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, hormone imbalances and other symptoms – without costly therapies, surgery, or medications? For Allison Samon, the answer was surprisingly simple: nutrition. For 10 years, it felt like she had tried everything and seen every type of practitioner. Then, one of them asked her what she had for breakfast that day. That question would change her life. In this episode, we’re talking about Allison’s powerful personal health turnaround and what I believe is the most underrated, underestimated approach to avoiding and also reversing illness - food. You’ll hear what worked for Allison and her advice now as a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Functional Nutritionist. In our conversation, you'll hear about… ·       What did and didn’t work for Allison’s chronic pain ·       How she finally found a solution that ended the pain and other symptoms ·       Why what she thought was a healthy breakfast actually wasn’t ·       Why nutrition is so powerful in reducing the inflammation that causes pain ·       Some nutrition changes that tend to help most people ·       Why compromised digestion may affect your nutrient absorption ·       And her thoughts on types of nutrition and food sensitivity testing About Allison Samon Allison Samon is a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Functional Nutritionist who works virtually with people to get out of chronic illness, escape mystery symptoms and help them to re-design their lifestyle so they can be fit, energized and pain free in ways that are easy, fun and sustainable.

What are the symptoms of mold illness and how do you clear your body and home from mold? My guest, Dr. Emily Kiberd, shares her story of recovering from mold illness symptoms and navigating more than a dozen moldy homes. A chiropractor, Dr. Emily Kiberd never expected to add “mold specialist” to her list of qualifications. But then, she also never expected to find herself in at least seven moldy homes over the past 14 years, from New York City to Colorado. Across the years, she’s repeatedly seen mold-related symptoms arise in herself and her family. Each time, she’s had to take a multi-pronged approach to detox her body and either leave her home or remediate. Emily shared her journey and what she’s learned along the way about recovery, inspection, remediation, and more. In our conversation, you'll hear about… Her journey of escaping mold across multiple homes in two states The mold-triggered symptoms she experiences and the symptoms she sees in her kids How Emily has addressed her own and her family’s mold symptoms Other symptoms that may be linked to mold How she’s addressed mold in various homes How you might approach finding mold in your own home Types of mold testing for your body and home Ways to save money by starting with your own visual inspection and some tools to do this on your own When to hire mold inspectors and remediators What happens if you can’t find the source? How to decide whether to stay or go if your home is moldy How certain molds like certain types of materials and how to correlate that with your lab tests About Dr. Emily Kiberd Dr Emily Kiberd is a chiropractor of 16 years, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and founder of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed strength program for the Hashi ladies to work out without burnout. Thyroid Strong marries the functional movement workouts with functional medicine to heal Hashimoto’s symptoms.   She put her own Hashimoto’s into remission with dietary changes, refinement in her exercise routine, and lifestyle changes, including addressing underlying environmental toxins.    She’s recovered from mold exposure numerous times and shares the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to mold detox, mold inspection, and remediation. She now helps her clients living with Hashimoto’s do the same to get rid of their brain fog and finally thrive.   Mentioned resources and links: Find Emily: https://www.dremilykiberd.com/ and @DrEmilyKiberd Emily’s mold masterclass: www.dremilykiberd.com/mold Ritchie Shoemaker, Surviving Mold: Life in the Era of Dangerous Buildings, https://amzn.to/4aRaQkI Dr. Jill Crista, Break the Mold: 5 Tools to Conquer Mold and Take Back Your Health, https://amzn.to/3RQ51ev Dr. Andrew Campbell, https://mymycolab.com/about_us   Mold testing: ERMI testing from EnviroBiomics: https://www.envirobiomics.com/product/mycotoxins/?v=7516fd43adaa   Inspection tools: Boroscope: https://amzn.to/3tNY0CV Moisture meter: https://amzn.to/3tBhKK8 Humidity meter: https://amzn.to/3tNXSmV   Episode home page: https://rebuildingmyhealth.com/how-emily-broke-free-from-mold-illness-and-7-moldy-homes/   Listen to Rebuilding My Health Radio wherever you find your favorite podcasts…   Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, Alexa, Spotify, and much more!

How did a New York mom transform her multiple sclerosis symptoms with lifestyle changes?   In this episode of the Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast, Agota Nawroth shares her journey of significantly reducing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) through lifestyle changes and a mindset. And as a recent author of the book, Beating Multiple Sclerosis, she offers insights into some of the ways that others are also healing MS.   In this episode, you’ll hear… 1. Agota's journey from a life-altering multiple sclerosis diagnosis to a life filled with hope and vitality. 2. The dietary changes that became a cornerstone of Agota's wellness plan and dramatically improved her MS symptoms. 3. The game-changing steps she took to minimize her MS symptoms. 4. The transformative power of a positive mindset and how Agota cultivated resilience. 5. The importance of listening to your body and responding accordingly. 6. How Agota's inspiring journey led her to write a book and become a beacon of hope for those seeking to take control of their health and well-being.   About Agota Nawroth Agota Nawroth is a devoted mother, a certified health coach, and someone who has faced the unique challenges of living with multiple sclerosis (MS). She is also the author and publisher of the enlightening book “Beating Multiple Sclerosis,” which not only shares her own journey but also chronicles the stories of dozens of others who are conquering this disease. She is the founder of www.BeatingMultipleSclerosis.com, an online community committed to healing. You can find her on Instagram and YouTube at @BeatingMyMS.   Agota's MS Journey: A Life-Changing Diagnosis Agota's journey with MS began in March 2019, a life-altering moment that turned her world upside down. “I was diagnosed in 2019, and now, looking back, I feel like I'm a different person,” she says. “So many things have changed in my life, and I think I can say the same for anyone diagnosed with a disease like multiple sclerosis."   In those early days, she turned to Instagram as a way to document her journey, share her experiences, and find hope. Her platform, now known as "Beating My MS," quickly evolved into a source of inspiration and education for others battling MS.   A Life Unraveled: The Sudden Onset of MS Agota's MS diagnosis came seemingly out of the blue. She had recently returned from her honeymoon and was eagerly preparing to start a family. Her initial symptoms were anxiety and unexplained depression, making it difficult to identify the impending storm. It wasn't long before she experienced numbness in her forehead and hearing loss in her left ear.   At first, Agota attributed these symptoms to various factors such as altitude or the recent plane ride after a trip to Colorado.   Her search led her through various doctors, including an ear specialist who couldn't find any definitive answers. Concerned that her symptoms could be connected to her brain, she asked for an MRI.   When the MRI results came in, Agota received a call urging her to see a neurologist immediately, as she might have multiple sclerosis.    Agota's initial reaction was to turn to the internet, where she encountered a flood of information, some of which painted a grim picture of disability. She confided, "I don't know, I just felt like my life was collapsing. That day, I couldn't stop crying."   A Determined Approach: Transforming Mindset and Lifestyle In the face of this daunting diagnosis, Agota decided to take matters into her own hands. As she learned more about MS, she discovered that diet and lifestyle play pivotal roles in managing the condition.   She decided to start her journey to wellness by changing her diet and quickly realized the connection between her diet and her MS symptoms.   She noted, "I was feeling better once I started eating better. Every time I was eating p

Today I’m bringing you an inspiring story from a woman who found her way out of a life-altering health setback. After a series of major life stressors, Dr. Christine Smith saw her health unravel with injuries, hormone and skin issues, adrenal dysfunction, extreme food sensitivities and allergies, and mold toxicity. As a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, she threw everything she knew of at the problem and sought help from her peers. But ultimately, to heal, she found she had to go inward and reach a sense of feeling safer in her body - with meditation. In this episode, we discuss… How physical and emotional stressors compounded to gradually erode Dr. Christine’s health How stress affected her digestion, hormones, adrenals, skin, and more Why throwing more supplements at your body may not be the best avenue How she used diet or food as a tool to control inflammation How she realized that healing had to come from within How meditation helped her feel safer in her body Her experience with ketamine therapy for addressing trauma Dr. Christine Smith has focused her work on seeing the whole person through personalized, integrative healthcare and regularly works with other trusted providers to create holistic care plans. Her path has included many experiences outside the straight academic path, including working in different healthcare systems abroad, leading her to where she is today. As a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic with a background in Cognitive Neuroscience, she specializes in Holistic Injury Recovery and Chronic Inflammation Prevention to help active people come back stronger, uncover hidden injuries and prevent re-injury. She does this by teaching clients how to use recovery time as a gift to restructure lifestyle priorities, to learn to speak the language of their body through education rather than medication, and heal beyond the scars. Find her online and on YouTube. And find some of her meditations.   Resources mentioned: Insight Timer (she likes Sarah Blondin) Dr. Joe Dispenza   Find the episode home page.   You’ll want to listen today if you’re dealing with any chronic or unresolved health issues.   And just a reminder, this is the last episode before a short summer break.

If you have struggled with digestive challenges, skin issues, or anxiety, then you don’t want to miss today’s episode. I'm talking with Nicole Lavery, who finally solved three decades of health struggles via a natural route. Today, she’s talking specifically about parasites, which are a very common cause of digestive symptoms and a host of other symptoms. Nicole is a former ballerina turned writer and holistic wellness coach, based outside of Boulder, Colorado. After spending the better part of 3 decades battling IBS and a conventional health approach that left her without answers, she turned to functional medicine and Eastern methodologies – thus giving her the root cause answer she had been looking for: parasites. In addition to overcoming her gut challenges, Nicole also made the decision to have several preventive surgeries in 2021 and 2022 to offset her high risk (+45%) for breast and ovarian cancer, thus allowing her to take control of her health and related health anxiety that had dominated so much of her life previously. Hers is a story about digging in deeper to find answers, honing in on intuition, and leveraging a holistic approach in order to feel better - mind, body, and soul.   In this episode, we discuss… What Nicole’s early health struggles looked like Her search for answers and how she found them outside of conventional medicine The gut infections and dysbiosis behind her symptoms How she uncovered and treated parasites The link between parasites and mood The parasite protocol that worked for her and her change in symptoms And how Nicole navigated proactive medical decisions because of a family history of cancer   You’ll take away fascinating insights on the role of parasites in Nicole’s journey and our overall health.   You can find Nicole online, on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.     Download Nicole’s free Parasites 101 Guide (use the password rebuildingmyhealth).
