In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. Jared Price, a functional medicine doctor who helps patients find the root cause of their health issues.

We talk about his “four-door system,” a framework he uses to simplify healing and help people understand where their body is truly struggling instead of chasing the wrong problem.

We start with the nervous system and vagal nerve regulation, and how chronic stress can keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight. Dr. Price shares simple tools like humming, breathing techniques, and understanding cortisol to support adrenal health.

Next, we discuss gut health, methylation, and how B vitamins and protein play a role in energy, brain health, and hormone balance. Dr. Price also explains how stress and poor gut health can contribute to estrogen dominance.

We then move into drainage and detox pathways, including the lymphatic system, kidneys, and bowel health. He explains why you should never detox unless your body can properly drain, and shares ways to support lymphatic flow through movement, magnesium, and sleep.

This episode is full of simple, practical ways to understand what your body truly needs so you can start healing with clarity and confidence.
