What if the plastic in your clothes, water, and air is already inside your brain and driving disease without you knowing it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Miles Nichols, a functional medicine doctor, to break down one of the most urgent health threats of our time. We discuss how plastics, nanoplastics, and chemical exposures are accumulating in our bodies and what that means for long-term health, inflammation, and disease risk.
We look into studies linking higher microplastic load to dementia, cardiovascular disease, infertility, and neuroinflammation, and what this means for the rising rates of chronic illness today. Dr. Miles explains advanced testing, like transcriptomics, and how gene expression patterns can reveal early signs of conditions like Parkinson’s long before symptoms appear.
Finally, we talk about practical solutions to reduce exposure and lower the overall toxic burden. This episode is empowering. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness and consistent reduction of exposure.
“Oftentimes, the body starts to naturally heal when the conditions are right for that. And so a lot of the work in the clinic is to make sure that we're reducing enough of the obstacles that prevent the body from doing what it naturally does so well."
~ Dr. Miles Nichols

What if the products you use every day to look better are actually making you age faster? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, founder of Queen of the Thrones, to discuss one of the most overlooked sources of toxicity in our lives: our skincare and beauty products.
Dr. Marisol shares her journey from beauty pageants to becoming a naturopathic doctor and clean beauty advocate, after realizing how many everyday products were loaded with hidden chemicals that impact long-term health. We dive into the reality of greenwashing in the beauty industry, and how common items like moisturizers, makeup removers, nail products, and fragrances can contribute to hormone disruption, premature aging, and cellular damage.
Most importantly, we talk about simple swaps like switching to castor oil, using minimal-ingredient skincare, and paying attention to how your body reacts to products. If you’ve ever questioned what’s really in your beauty products or felt overwhelmed by “clean beauty” marketing, this conversation will provide clarity, confidence, and practical steps you can start today.
“The very first beauty influencer was Cleopatra, and she owed her beauty to castor oil."

What if everything you thought you knew about preventing heart attacks was wrong and the real solution isn’t a pill or stent, but a non-toxic, holistic approach? In this episode, I sit down with Diamond Fernandes, an expert in heart health and founder of Heart Fit Clinic, to tackle one of the biggest health concerns today.
We break down the conventional approach to heart care and why so many people are misdiagnosed or overtreated with stents, bypasses, and medications. Diamond shares a non-toxic perspective, explaining how mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and inflammation are the true drivers of heart attacks, not just cholesterol.
We explore the three pillars of heart health: electrical function, structural integrity, and arterial health. Diamond walks us through the science behind healthy arteries, angiogenesis (how arteries can regrow), and the impact of lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset on long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
For anyone who feels confused by conflicting heart health advice or overwhelmed by medications and procedures, this conversation provides hope and practical tips for cardiovascular wellness.
“Heart attacks occur when you end up with mitochondrial dysfunction...You can have a heart attack and have completely normal coronaries."

Katie explains why these basics often outperform expensive supplements or trendy gadgets and how mindset plays a critical role in overall wellness.
This conversation is about more than health hacks. It’s about empowering parents, especially moms, to take the driver’s seat in their family’s well-being. We explore how intuition, research, and practical steps come together to create healthier, happier households.

Did you know that there are unseen dangers in our clothing? In this episode, I discuss the hidden toxins lurking in everyday fabrics. Even clothing labeled as organic can contain plastics, dyes, and chemical coatings that are absorbed through the skin or inhaled as microplastics. We explore how polyester, rayon, and petroleum-based fabrics impact the body, disrupt the skin microbiome, and even affect fertility.
I dive into the impact of the fast fashion industry, how marketing manipulates us into buying highly toxic fabrics, and why profit often comes before health. Even your sheets and everyday T-shirts may be contributing to hormone disruption, inflammation, and oxidative stress. I also highlight safer alternatives, like certified organic cotton and naturally dyed fabrics, and explain why simplifying your wardrobe can reduce exposure to these hidden toxins.
If you’ve ever wondered why skin irritation and allergies persist, this episode will help you make informed decisions that could prevent that.

What if the real thing keeping you unhealthy is the belief that your worth depends on your weight or how you look? In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Lupoli to discuss the obsession with weight loss, one of the most toxic belief systems in modern health culture. We dive into how diet culture, social media, processed foods, and even the pharmaceutical industry have conditioned us to believe our value is tied to a number on a scale and why that mindset is making us sicker, not healthier.
Carrie shares her journey through dieting and body image struggles to the wake-up call that changed everything for her. We talk about why most diets fail, the emotional patterns driving unhealthy behaviors, and how blood sugar regulation, self-awareness, and belief systems play a much bigger role in health than calorie restriction ever will.
This conversation is about far more than food. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, breaking free from shame and guilt, and learning how to build true health from the inside out.
“There should be nothing that's a higher priority than you taking care of your health, because then you could be a better parent, you can be a better employee or business owner, and you can show up for people in your community better."

What if the reason for your chronic pain and poor mobility isn't aging, but the shoes you wear every day?

Today, we’re diving into a new area of his passion: foot health.Mark shares his journey of rediscovering the importance of minimalist footwear and how most modern shoes are contributing to a host of health issues like back pain, knee pain, and poor mobility. We talk about the mechanics of the foot and how walking in shoes that allow for natural movement can drastically improve your health, and the fascinating connection between foot health and brain health. Mark also talks about his philosophy of primal living, reconnecting with nature, and getting back to the basics of how our bodies were designed to function.If you’ve been struggling with pain, poor mobility, or just want to feel better in your body, this episode is full of practical advice to help you take charge of your health, starting with your feet.“Mobility is one of the defining factors of longevity, and without mobility, you can't experience the wonders of the world.

What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or chronically sick isn’t your body failing but the air inside your home? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Kim to unpack one of the most overlooked toxins affecting families today. Join us as we share our personal experiences as mold survivors and dive into how something as simple as humidity and drywall can create an environment that leads to chronic illness, brain fog, anxiety, and even hormonal and fertility issues.We break down how the release of mycotoxins acts like “biological warfare” on your cells, triggering immune dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and a cascade of symptoms that many people misdiagnose or overlook. Dr. Kim explains why traditional testing often misses the problem, how the “toxic bucket” builds over time, and why some family members get sick while others don’t.If you have been dealing with unexplained symptoms or know someone whose health has suddenly declined without reason, this episode could help you connect the dots and take the first steps toward healing.“The issue is we have a misunderstanding of how mold can impact our body. It’s not just a simple thing… But we have to understand that mold creates a bigger impact on how the body responds and can lead to chronic disease."~ Dr. John KimResources Mentioned:- The ENCORE Method by Dr. John Kim - https://drjohnkim.com/the-encore-method/- Free Health Assessment - https://drjohnkim.com/free-assessment- Join Dr. John Kim's Community - https://members.drjohnkim.com/communities/groups/kim-wellness/homeNon-Toxic Dad Recommended Products:- True Carbon Cleanse - https://revelationhealth.com/collections/non-toxic-dad?sort_by=relevance&q=true+carbon+cleanse- CytoDetox - https://revelationhealth.com/products/cytodetox-product- BodyBio Vitamin C - https://revelationhealth.com/products/liposomal-vitamin-c-1Mold Inspection & Remediation Companies:- We Inspect Mold Inspection Services - https://yesweinspect.com/- HomeCleanse Mold Elimination Technology Company (Mike Rubino) - https://www.homecleanse.com/Mold Testing:- Dust/Surface Mycotoxin Testing (preferred over air testing)- Urine Mycotoxin Testing- Thermal Imaging + HVAC InspectionConnect with Dr. John Kim:- Website - https://drjohnkim.com/Connect with Warren Phillips:- Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad- TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad
