What if your symptoms weren't the problem—but the message?In this deeply personal and inspiring conversation, I sit down with holistic detox and fasting specialist Natasha Duborg to explore her remarkable healing journey through PCOS, insulin resistance, binge eating, mold illness, adrenal dysfunction, and more. Natasha vulnerably shares how years of chronic symptoms led her to look beyond conventional explanations and begin asking deeper questions about what her body was trying to tell her. Together, we discuss: ✨ Mold illness and the many ways it can impact the body ✨ Brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, and unexplained symptoms ✨ The role genetics may play in chronic illness ✨ Nervous system regulation and why healing requires safety ✨ Somatic practices and emotional healing ✨ Therapeutic fasting and dry fasting ✨ Body image, weight loss, and the emotional side of transformation ✨ Learning to trust your body again ✨ Why symptoms may be messengers rather than enemies This conversation is raw, honest, and filled with powerful insights for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or frustrated by ongoing health struggles. And honestly? We barely scratched the surface. Our conversation about body image alone could have been an entire episode of its own. Connect with Natasha on IG:@nataschaduborg

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Mike as we dive into a real, unfiltered conversation about health, hormones, and what it actually takes to feel better. Mike shares his personal health journey—the ups, the frustrations, and what finally started to shift when he stopped chasing symptoms and started addressing the root cause. We talk about: • Why so many people stay stuck despite doing “all the right things” • The problem with symptom-chasing (and why more supplements aren’t the answer) • Hormone imbalances and what’s really driving them • The importance of looking at the body as a whole system—not isolated parts • What it means to support your health from the terrain up This conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from understanding your body, asking better questions, and addressing what’s actually driving dysfunction beneath the surface. If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel right—this episode is for you. Mike is a former D1 athlete and professional football player, a coach of one of our local high school football teams, a motivational speaker, Trainer, and Partner/President of 23 Game Day Men’s Health Locations.

His Kids? In January 2016, Chris David was grieving the loss of two close friends, facing the end of a tumultuous marriage, and heading into a custody battle for his youngest son. He was also thinking about how to kill himself. Convinced it would fix his problems and end his pain, he was standing on the edge of a cliff of despair, somewhere he never thought he would be. But as Chris David explains, there was one major problem with that plan. “My wife may have wished me dead, but I didn’t want to leave my sons without a father. I couldn’t abandon them and let them feel the same way I did when I was a kid. My boys didn’t deserve that. No matter what happened and how horrible I felt at that moment, I couldn’t do that to them. I didn’t want to do that to them.” Realizing he had some work to do on himself before he could be the father he needed to be, Chris began a five-month journey zig-zagging across the southern US with his lovable sheepdog O’Malley by his side. Using his inner voice as a guide, Chris’s journey was marked along the way with “strangers” that would validate his choices and point him toward home.In It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life, Chris David lays bare the fractured family that raised him, his desire for love and validation, and the void inside him that could not be filled until he faced his challenges head-on. He details the peace he on his found on his journey and the strength he draws on every day to be the father he wants to be. A raw, inspirational memoir, It Was Never Just About Me: The Journey That Saved My Life is both honest and moving—and a pat on the back to anyone struggling to take control of their life.Find Chris on Social MediaIG: teamdavid72FB: Chris DavidThe host of Advice Unfiltered PodcastOn Apple:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/advice-unfiltered-with-chris-and-tony/id1795971292On YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL37ntj24dcGxq8j9tEoF6iVp3lV72shoz&si=4bemW-fcvxRiLylF
