Regular Guy Friday Ep. 231: Fun Ways to Heal Trauma & Stop Burn Out You Won't Believe
It’s Friday and we did it again—made it through the chaos to bring you a brand-new Regular Guy Friday, this time from the front seat of a car on day one of principal photography for a feature film. We’re talking back-to-school blues, middle child breakthroughs, and why some of us just wanted to grow up and have fun.
This week, it’s all about rejecting the boxes we were put in and embracing the joy of being multifaceted. We talk childhood comparisons, the long road to healing, and why fun might just be a spiritual compass. We talk the dreamer’s dilemma: chasing goals vs. detaching from outcomes, and how multiple “scams” may be the Regular Guy path to enlightenment.
RGF Bonus: Bobo saves Christmas (for real), French Bulldogs vs. rescue hearts, a few name-drops, and the new CEO of Fun gets his own business card.
Happy Friday. Bye Betches.

1118. The Early Health Habits That Protect Kids (and Adults) for LIFE! w/ Dr. Joel Warsh
Hey Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh, where breaks down how to cut through the noise when it comes to prevention, toxins, and true immune support (especially for kids!). We continue the important conversation on vaccine schedules and also get into everything from gut health and inflammation to why so many people are experiencing chronic symptoms. He also shares simple tips that every family can start using today to feel better, boost resilience, and protect long-term health.
PLUS, we explore the power of trust, intention, and listening to your intuition, especially when making decisions that impact your health and your kids.
If you’ve ever felt confused about what wellness really means or what your next step should be… this episode will help you come back to your center. Tune in!!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS
Prevention Starts Before Symptoms. By the time symptoms show up, the immune system has already been compromised. Dr. Joel shares tangible ways to be proactive with health, like reducing toxic load and focusing on clean nutrition and lifestyle habits.
Over-Vaccination: A Hidden Immune Disruptor. While vaccines have value, overloading the immune system too early can lead to dysregulation. Spacing out vaccines, detoxing post-injection, and supporting the gut and nervous system can make all the difference.
True Health Isn’t Just About Avoiding Illness. Dr. Joel emphasizes that wellness is not just the absence of disease—it’s thriving physically, mentally, and emotionally. Real prevention means building resilience, not just reacting when symptoms arise.

1117. What Every Parent (& Adult) Should Know About Vaccines & Immunity w/ Dr. Joel Warsh
Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel “Dr. Gator” Warsh for a powerful conversation about why chronic illness is on the rise in kids, and what we can do about it.
Dr. Joel dives into the rise in childhood conditions like eczema, asthma, and fatigue, and how hidden stressors like toxins, inflammation, and immune overload may be playing a bigger role than we think. He explains why a one-size-fits-all approach to vaccines and medications might not be serving every child, and how to work with your doctor to find a more individualized path.
We also talk about the importance of gut health, what parents should really know about inflammation, and the lifestyle shifts that can build long-term resilience. Whether you’re a parent, planning to be one, or just curious about prevention, this episode is filled with empowering info to help you take healing into your own hands.
Let’s raise a healthier generation, together!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS
Immune overload is real. Dr. Joel explains how frequent vaccines, toxins, and processed foods are overburdening children's immune systems and what we can do to restore balance.
Inflammation isn’t the enemy, it’s a signal. Suppressing symptoms with meds misses the root cause. Instead, address underlying triggers like toxins, gut imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies to truly heal.
The vaccine schedule isn’t one-size-fits-all. Dr. Joel shares why individualized care is critical and how the current system isn’t designed for personalization.
Parents are the missing piece. When parents advocate, question, and collaborate with integrative providers, they can change the trajectory of their children’s health.

Heal in 10: The Controversial Cancer Protocol Helping Patients Heal w/ Dr. William Makis
Hey, Heal Squad! Welcome back to another Heal in 10 episode, where this week we wanted to share one of the most controversial and overlooked cancer conversations out there…
Dr. William Makis breaks down the science behind repurposed drugs (like ivermectin and fenbendazole) originally used for parasites. And why they’re showing powerful potential in stopping cancer growth, preventing recurrence, and even shrinking tumors. He explains how these drugs affect cancer stem cells, disrupt replication, and reduce inflammation… yet most oncologists never mention them.
We also explore why the current system discourages alternative protocols, how patients are using these tools alongside traditional treatments, and what to know if you or someone you love is facing cancer today.
Don’t forget to listen to our FULL episodes with Dr. William Makis

The Sunday Set Up Ep. 15: How to Stop Outsourcing Your Self-Worth
Happy Sunday! On this week’s Sunday Set Up, we explore a tender truth: the people who love us most don’t always understand us — and that’s okay. Whether you’re stepping into your power or building something bold, the lack of recognition from family can sting. But most aren’t trying to hurt us — they love us the only way they know how. That insight? It’s the beginning of peace.
We talk about the pain of silence when applause doesn’t come, how to stop outsourcing your worth, and how to protect your energy when others just don’t see it.
Bonus Tip: Skip the charming chaos—when traveling for work, Starbucks wins for outlets, Wi-Fi, and getting things done.
You’re not here to be understood by everyone. You’re here to live. To create. To shine. Let go and be present. Have a beautiful week, Heal Squad.

1114. Ivermectin: Heal or Hoax?! w/ Dr. William Makis
Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! We’re back with Dr. William Makis for part two of this powerful conversation… and it’s one you don’t want to miss. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, autoimmune disease, or neurological decline, this episode could shift everything.
Dr. Makis shares what he’s seeing firsthand in his clinical practice–real stories of patients with stage 4 cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, even Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s—experiencing surprising results with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and mebendazole. He breaks down how and why these low-cost, off-label options are working when nothing else does.
We also dive into why many autoimmune symptoms are actually rooted in immune dysregulation, and the real reason alternative solutions are being ignored (and who’s behind it)
If you’ve ever felt like the system isn’t giving you the full story, you need to hear this.
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Hormone disruption is on the rise. Testosterone levels are plummeting in men, while women are reporting irregular periods and fertility issues, and it’s not being taken seriously by most doctors.
Autoimmune symptoms may be misdiagnosed: Many “mystery” symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are immune system red flags.
Repurposed drugs are helping people heal. Medications like ivermectin and LDN (low-dose naltrexone) are being used off-label to reduce inflammation, regulate immune responses, and support recovery from long COVID and chronic illness.
