163. The Wellness World Says “Do More”… The Nervous System Says “Do Less” w/ The Wellness Mama

After 1,000 podcast episodes and over a decade of research, Katie Wells shares her most important discovery: true healing isn't about doing more—it's about simplifying. In this conversation with Dr. Tony Ebel, Katie reveals how she healed from Hashimoto's not through pages of supplements and restrictive protocols, but by prioritizing nervous system health, light exposure, and trusting her body's innate ability to heal. Together, they discuss why the body's electromagnetic nature matters, how stress and complexity prevent healing, and practical (mostly free) strategies for building resilience and adaptability in your family's health journey.
