Myers Detox Podcast

As it turns out, aging isn't just about wrinkles and gray hair. It’s about your immune system silently giving out years in advance. If you're dealing with chronic stress, sleep issues, inflammation, hormone shifts, or just feel like your body is aging faster than it should, there's a test that might explain exactly why and how to turn it around. I sat down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO of GlycanAge, to unpack the science of glycans—those powerful, complex sugars that serve as early warning signals for disease and inflammation. Nikolina shares how glycans can predict things like hypertension and rheumatoid arthritis years before they happen, how menopause accelerates aging by 10 years or more, why stress adds 15 years to your biological clock, and how hormone replacement, moderate exercise, and even switching from HIIT to yoga can roll your biological age backward. This is the kind of info that gives you back control of your health.   “We can predict hypertension six years ahead of time with 98% accuracy. We can predict rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ahead of time with 92% accuracy.” ~ Nikolina Lauc   In This Episode: - Backstory: What are glycans, and why should you measure them? - Research and predictive power of GlycanAge - What to expect from a GlycanAge test - Top factors that improve your biological age - The effects of stress on your biological clock - Exercise and its effects on aging - Key aging differences between men and women - Things to do if your biological age is high - How to get the GlycanAge test   Products & Resources Mentioned: GlycanAge Biological Age Test: You can get it from https://glycanage.com/price-and-plans?discount=MYERSv Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Nikolina Lauc Nikolina Lauc is the co-founder and CEO of GlycanAge and has helped pioneer a revolutionary way to measure biological aging through glycans—complex carbohydrates that change with immune system wear and tear. Her father, a renowned glyco-biologist and the second most published scientist in the field, developed one of the first biomarkers of molecular aging. GlycanAge has since analyzed over 200,000 samples, more than 85% of all human glycan data globally. Nikolina is on a mission to make early detection and personalized prevention mainstream.

Some of the “normal” things we do to unwind are quietly wrecking our bodies, and alcohol might be at the top of that list. You might not realize how much the occasional glass of wine is disrupting your hormones, wrecking your sleep, and sabotaging your detox efforts until you take a closer look at the research. And once you hear what it’s doing to your thyroid, testosterone, liver, and brain chemistry, it’s hard to ignore. That’s why I asked Dr. Erika Schwartz—a pioneer in hormone health and founder of Evolved Science—to come break it all down. In this episode, Dr. Erika explains how alcohol impacts every single hormone in your body, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and even your sleep-regulating neurochemicals. She talks about how alcohol contributes to hypothyroidism, depletes your zinc and B vitamins, and accelerates aging, and why hormone replacement therapy could be life-changing (especially if you’ve hit your 40s and can’t sleep). And we talk solutions. Like how to replace alcohol as your stress reliever, how to balance hormones safely, and what you can do right now to feel better.   “The earlier you start changing your diet, cutting back on alcohol, balancing your hormones, exercising, and sleeping regularly, the more likely you are to enjoy your life.” ~ Dr. Erika Schwartz   In This Episode - Dr. Erika’s backstory - What alcohol does to your hormones - The hormones that are most affected by alcohol - How the body metabolizes alcohol - Liver health and alcohol - Testing for liver cirrhosis and hormone imbalances - Debunking the “one glass of wine is healthy” myth - Alcohol’s negative impact on sleep quality and insulin regulation - GABA, dopamine, and why alcohol feels relaxing - Alternative ways to relax without alcohol - Progesterone and alcohol cravings (and how to fix it) - Other health issues tied to alcohol consumption   Products & Resources Mentioned Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Chef’s Foundry P600 Cookware: Find it at https://bit.ly/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified MD and founder of Evolved Science, a cutting-edge longevity clinic based in New York City.

Something shifts when you realize your child’s behavior isn’t a problem to fix but a clue to follow. Dana Kay knows this firsthand. Her son was diagnosed with ADHD at four, put on a string of powerful meds, and nearly lost his spark. By five, he was on three prescriptions with a fourth on the way. That’s when Dana decided enough was enough. In this episode, she shares how her journey as a desperate mom turned her into a sought-after ADHD expert. She’s helped over 1,300 families reduce ADHD symptoms naturally—without medications—and today, she’s breaking down the exact holistic strategies that worked. We talk about inflammation, food sensitivities, gut-brain connection, and what kids need to thrive. And we also reframe what ADHD actually is, because when properly supported, kids with ADHD are often the most persistent, creative, and focused individuals you’ll ever meet.   "If you adjust your perception of what is a challenge and what is a superpower, it can change the way that you actually are as well. Some kids with ADHD have amazing creativity, amazing hyperfocus, persistence." ~ Dana Kay   In This Episode: - Dana's journey from accountant to ADHD expert - What ADHD really is and the neurodivergent spectrum - Why medication shouldn't be first-line treatment - The long-term effects of ADHD medications - Reframing ADHD as a superpower, not a disorder - Why schools are failing neurodivergent kids - The role of diet in reducing inflammation and symptoms - Food sensitivities and leaky gut in ADHD kids - How to repair your child’s gut - Environmental toxins and the "trashcan" analogy - Dana's book and program for families For more, visit https://myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Some stories are just hard to tell without breaking down. For many women, divorce isn’t just an event. It’s a reckoning, a forced pause, a mirror held up to every belief we’ve ever had about love, safety, our bodies, and our worth. And when we don’t process that pain? It stays. It festers. It shows up in our hormones, our skin, our weight, and our autoimmune flares. It gets louder until we finally listen. That’s why I brought on Maura Eliza—traditional naturopath and founder of The Vibrant Way—to talk about the overlooked connection between emotional trauma, divorce, and the physical symptoms that follow. Maura’s work is rooted in German New Medicine and bioenergetics, and she’s developed a method to help women release subconscious trauma (the stuff that never surfaces in talk therapy) and actually rewire how the body processes heartbreak and loss. In this episode, we unpack how the body stores trauma from unexpected experiences (like betrayal or custody battles), why women often feel physical symptoms years after leaving toxic or unaligned relationships, and how to break the cycles that keep you attracting the same kinds of partners. We also talk about nervous system healing, reclaiming your feminine energy, and how to find peace and even joy while being single.   “Everything the body does is functional. There’s a biological purpose to all of it. Our bodies are so much smarter than we are.” ~ Maura Eliza   In This Episode: - Maura’s background - How divorce impacts women's health - Patterns, partners & personal accountability - Past trauma affects partner selection - Parasitic energy and learning to flip the script on shame - Why women are initiating 70% of divorces - Masculine/feminine dynamics - Tools to shift your frequency and start healing quickly - Why being happy single is necessary before dating again - Common physical symptoms linked to relationship trauma - German New Medicine foundations - Healing ancestral trauma and breaking patterns - Rebuilding after relationship breakdown For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Ever feel like you’ve done everything for your health, but your symptoms keep recurring and won't go away? Julie EHealth says there’s a reason for that. It’s not your thyroid, your gut, or your adrenals. It’s your scars. Julie teaches a therapy called mud packing, and the results are incredible. She’s using castor oil, light therapy, and a mineral-rich mud protocol to draw toxins directly out of scars, piercings, tattoos—even root canals—and restore blocked energy pathways in the body. In this episode, she talks about mud therapy that's helping reverse bloating, hormonal issues, chronic pain, emotional stagnation, and more, all by addressing trauma sites stored in the body. And here’s what really struck me: scars aren’t just visible marks. They can be C-section sites, old sports injuries, dental work, cosmetic procedures, and yes, even tattoos. Anywhere you’ve had trauma, the body can store toxins like a “garbage can”—blocking energetic flow, weakening organs, and fueling chronic illness. This is one of those episodes that shifts how you think about healing, because sometimes the real root cause isn’t what’s happening inside your body, but what happened to it.   "The scars are the roadmap to your health. When a lot of people go to practitioners and they're like, 'Oh, I did this and that, and I felt great, but it came back,’ it's because you did not treat the real root of the problem." ~ Julie EHealth   In This Episode: - Julie’s background - What is a scar? - How scars disrupt your body's energy meridians - Surgeries, scar tissue, and long-term health consequences - The problem with tattoos and piercings - Root canals: the infection that never goes away - What is mud packing & how does it work? - Castor oil therapy: the gentler starting point - Julie's new Mud Packing course - Other scar treatments - How to work with Julie For more, visit https://myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    Products Mentioned: Puori PW1 Protein: Get 20% off with code WENDY at https://puori.com/wendy  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get an exclusive deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Chef’s Foundry P600 Cookware: Get a special discount at bit.ly/myersdetox    About Julie EHealth: Julie EHealth is a registered dietician, functional medicine expert, and master of QRA (Quantum Reflex Analysis) with over three decades of experience helping people uncover the real root causes of chronic symptoms.

You’re avoiding seed oils. Skipping canola. Saying no to soybean oil. But are your eggs sneaking it all back in? I was shocked to learn that four conventional eggs contain more PUFAs than a tablespoon of canola oil. Even more stunned to realize that labels like “pastured,” “free-range,” and even “organic” aren’t protecting us the way we think. In today’s episode, I sat down with Ashley Armstrong—a mechanical engineer turned regenerative farmer and founder of Angel Acres and Nourish Cooperative—to expose the dirty truth behind our egg supply. We break down how most “healthy” eggs are still packed with polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), why that’s a metabolic nightmare, and how industrial chicken feed is quietly hijacking your health goals. We also dig into the sketchy marketing terms used by big food companies to fool well-meaning consumers, why bird flu panic is likely more scam than science, and what it means when your eggshells are too thin to crack cleanly. This episode will change the way you shop—and help you rethink what quality food really means.   " We are what we eat, but we are also what what we eat eats." ~ Ashley Armstrong   In This Episode: - The hidden PUFAs in conventional and “high-quality” eggs - The health risks of high-PUFA eggs - Arsenic in chicken feed - Marketing deception in the egg industry - Why pasture-raised doesn’t always mean better - How to choose better eggs - How antibiotics, vaccines & factory farming are linked - Skyrocketing egg prices and the bird flu controversy - Where to find Ashley’s eggs - Ashley’s vision for a regenerative food system - Why small farmers are under attack and how to support them - How to make better food choices starting today For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Troubled by the disconnect between industrial farming and human well-being, she founded Angel Acres Farm to produce low-PUFA eggs through regenerative methods—small flocks, outdoor access, no antibiotics or vaccines, and custom low-PUFA feed. She also launched Nourish Cooperative, connecting like-minded farmers to deliver truly healthy animal proteins directly to consumers.   Learn more at: Website: https://www.angel-acresfarm.com/  Nourish Cooperative: https://nourishcooperative.com/    Disclaimer The Myers Detox Podcast was created and hosted by Dr. Wendy Myers.

Most people think they’re doing the right thing by buying olive oil, but chances are, they’re making health-sabotaging mistakes without even knowing it. That’s why I brought T.J. Robinson back to the show. He’s known worldwide as The Olive Oil Hunter, the go-to guy for Michelin-star chefs and wellness leaders who want the real deal. We’re talking fresh-pressed, polyphenol-rich olive oil from award-winning small farms in Italy, Spain, Chile, and beyond. Here’s the hard truth: most olive oils in the grocery store are frauds. A 60 Minutes exposé uncovered how many are oxidized, stale, or secretly cut with seed oils, completely stripping away the health benefits you think you’re getting. In this episode, we expose how to avoid the fakes, decode labels, and shop smart. You’ll learn why bottle color matters, what “extra virgin” actually means, and how to spot the difference between real and rancid oil. We even cover why unfiltered oils aren’t always a good thing and how polyphenol levels drop by nearly 50% within just six months. We also talk about the surprising science behind olive oil’s health perks—from mimicking ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory effects to boosting gut health, metabolic flexibility, blood sugar control, and even supporting bone density and intermittent fasting. T.J. and I do a live olive oil tasting on air and share creative ways to use it at home with salad dressings, finishing sauces, desserts, and more. T.J. is offering my listeners a $39 bottle of ultra-fresh olive oil for just $1 to cover shipping. I’ve used his oils for over 5 years.
