Stories of Hope & Healing: Dr. Sina McCullough

In this powerful episode of Stories of Hope & Healing, Dr. Leland Stillman welcomes Dr. Sina McCullough, PhD in nutrition and a mother of three, to share her compelling journey from chronic illness to full recovery. Diagnosed with advanced rheumatoid arthritis and burdened by decades of debilitating symptoms—including GI distress, food sensitivities, recurrent infections, and miscarriages—Dr. McCullough recounts her path through the limitations of conventional medicine and the eventual embrace of a functional, holistic approach that changed everything.

Drawing from her deep academic training and lived experience, Dr. McCullough exposes the shortcomings of mainstream diagnostics and dietary guidelines while highlighting the pivotal role of functional testing, nutrient therapy, detoxification, and emotional healing. She explains how decades-old definitions of "gluten-free" fail many patients, how overlooked environmental toxins such as arsenic in rice can undermine health, and how underlying emotional trauma must be addressed to achieve true recovery, not just remission.

Together, Dr. Stillman and Dr. McCullough reflect on the deeper spiritual and energetic aspects of healing, the impact of trauma on the biofield, and the importance of patient empowerment in reclaiming health. This episode is for anyone dismissed by the medical system, searching for real answers, and ready to explore a more effective, root-cause approach to healing. Ready to reclaim your vitality?
