After years of unexplained chronic illness—including 13 surgeries, endometriosis, a hysterectomy, and debilitating fatigue—Kim found herself abandoned by traditional doctors. In a last-ditch effort to heal, she and her husband moved into a remote log home in Washington, where her symptoms worsened. Eventually, she discovered she had multiple parasites, mold poisoning, heavy metal toxicity, and chronic Lyme disease.
Her viral TikTok about a parasite cleanse exploded in 2021, and she's since built RogersHood, a company offering accessible herbal detox kits for mold, parasites, and more. In this episode, Kim and Michael dive into:
- Why Western medicine often overlooks environmental root causes
- How mold and parasites work together in the body to keep you sick
- The dangers of our water supply, indoor air, and building practices
- How to get better testing and become your own health advocate
- What most people get wrong about deworming and detoxing
