Ben explains why symptoms like weight gain, acid reflux, fatigue, IBS, and autoimmune issues are not the actual problem — but rather warning signs from a body under stress. Together, Josh and Ben dive deep into the root causes of poor gut health and metabolic dysfunction, including processed foods, sugar dependence, environmental toxins, circadian rhythm disruption, chronic inflammation, and the growing impact of toxic food additives and seed oils. One of the most compelling parts of the episode focuses on mindset and identity. Ben explains how subconscious beliefs and self-image can sabotage healing progress, even when someone is following the "perfect" diet or protocol. The discussion bridges neuroscience, physiology, and behavior change in a way that's both actionable and deeply motivating.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Metabolic Health & Metabolic Freedom Root Causes of Chronic Disease & Symptoms Sugar Burning, Insulin Resistance & Diabetes Environmental Toxins & Modern Lifestyle Stressors Processed Foods & Seed Oils Debate Circadian Rhythm, Sleep & Mitochondrial Health Mindset, Identity & Self-Sabotage in Healing Gratitude, Stress Reduction & Nervous System Health Practical Lifestyle Changes for Better Health   More from Ben Azadi: Website: benazadi.com Instagram: @thebenazadi Facebook: Ben Azadi Youtube: @KetoKamp X: @THEBENAZADI Get Dr. Amie's Book: Metabolic Freedom   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

What we know about health and medicine today didn't come from clinical trials. In fact, most of what we know today came from hundreds of years of accidents, tregedies, crazy stories and stubborn people who refused to let their ideas die. In this episode, I'm going to share 4 of the biggest stories from medical history, what we learned and what that means dfor your health today. These stories include a fabric merchant who built his own microscopes, a doctor who watched food digest through a hole in a man's stomach, a cook who infected and killed dozens of people without ever feeling sick, a scientist who discovered antibiotics by accident, and a doctor who drank a glass of bacteria to prove his colleagues wrong. In this episode, I'll take you through over 300 years of history, and what every chapter of it means for what's happening inside your gut, and your body, right now.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: How 300 years of medical history shaped what we know today 4 stories of tragedy, inquiry and death that changed medicine forever What each of these stories means for you today Powerful lessons you should understand from these stories   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Josh Dech sits down with Dr. Amie Hornaman to expose the hidden epidemic of thyroid dysfunction, Hashimoto's disease, and failed conventional treatment. Dr. Amie shares her personal story of being repeatedly dismissed by doctors while rapidly gaining weight despite extreme dieting and exercise. After finally being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, she discovered that standard thyroid treatment often ignores one critical factor: proper thyroid hormone conversion. She unpacks the root causes driving thyroid disease today, including chronic inflammation, gut dysfunction, microbiome imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, environmental toxins, stress, hormonal shifts, and immune system dysregulation.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Thyroid Misdiagnosis & Failed Standard Care Hashimoto's & Autoimmune Thyroid Disease Thyroid Hormone Conversion (T4, T3, Reverse T3) Root Causes: Gut Health, Stress & Inflammation Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy Perimenopause, Menopause & "Thyro-Pause" Thyroid Medication & Personalized Treatment Pharmaceutical Industry Critique & Healthcare System Issues   More from Dr. Amie Hornaman: Website: dramie.com Instagram: @dramiehornaman TikTok: dramiehornaman Facebook: Dr. Amie Hornaman Youtube: @DrAmiehornaman Get Dr. Amie's Book: The Thyroid Fix Join Dr. Amie's Facebook Group: Just Fix Your Thyroid   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Originally studied for its chemical properties, ESS60 gained unexpected attention when a toxicity study revealed that rats given ESS60 lived up to 90% longer than the control group.. Chris explains how this molecule may work at the root cause level—inside the mitochondria, the energy-producing centers of our cells. According to emerging research and the "buffering oxidative stress system" (BOSS theory), ESS60 may help neutralize reactive oxygen species, reducing oxidative stress and supporting cellular resilience.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: ESS60 Discovery & Nobel Prize Background Mitochondrial Function & Oxidative Stress Rat Longevity Study (90% Lifespan Increase) Inflammation & Aging (Inflammaging) Biohacker Adoption & Early Use Cases Product Development & Supplement Industry Challenges Real-World Testimonials & Athlete Performance Practical Usage, Dosing & Delivery Methods   More from Chris Burres: Website: myvitalc.com Instagram: @myvitalc TikTok: MyVitalC Facebook: My Vital C X: @MyVitalC Get Chris's Book: Live Longer and Better Listen to Chris's Podcast: Live Beyond the Norms Special Offer for all listeners: myvitalc.com/reversable   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

While conventional approaches focus heavily on hormone replacement therapy, Cynthia explains why this is only part of the picture. The gut microbiome plays a central role in regulating the immune system, influencing inflammation, and even impacting how the body metabolizes hormones. The conversation dives into how chronic inflammation accelerates aging, contributes to weight gain, and disrupts metabolic health. Cynthia outlines how modern lifestyle factors—including stress, poor sleep, antibiotic use, and diet—damage the microbiome and create hidden dysfunction, even in women who feel symptom-free. This episode is essential listening for women seeking a root-cause approach to gut health, inflammation, and long-term hormonal balance.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Gut–Hormone Connection in Menopause Inflammation & Immune System Aging (Immunosenescence) Mitochondrial Health & Energy Production Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Realities Ovarian Aging & Gut-Ovary Axis Weight Gain & Metabolic Dysfunction in Midlife "Inflammaging" & Chorinc Inflammation   More from Udo Erasmus: Website: cynthiathorlow.com Instagram: @cynthia_thorlow_ Youtube: @CynthiaThorlow X: @_CynthiaThurlow Get Cynthia's Book Here: The Menopause Gut   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

A powerful converstaion that dives deep not only into health and facts, but also into Udo's personal story and childhood stories that shaped him and the way he sees the world! How he started his business, the pursuit of knowledge, truth, and the meaning of life! The conversation dives deep into how modern oil processing methods—exposure to heat, light, and oxygen—create massive amounts of damaged molecules, even in oils considered "healthy." As explained in the episode, even 1% damage in a tablespoon of oil can equate to tens of quintillions of altered molecules, which may significantly impact cellular function, gene expression, and the immune system. Beyond nutrition, the discussion expands into root-cause health principles—highlighting how disconnection from natural living, whole foods, and internal awareness contributes to chronic inflammation and disease. The microbiome, digestion, and environmental exposures are all framed within a broader systems-based approach to healing.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Meaning of life & human experience Disconnection from self as root cause of disease Root cause of inflammation & chronic illness Omega-3 vs Omega-6 balance Essential nutrients & individualized needs Industrial food system & chemicals Spiritual/psychological connection to health   More from Udo Erasmus: Website: udoerasmus.com Instagram: @udoerasmus Youtube: @UdoErasmus Facebook: Udo Erasmus X: UdoErasmus   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by the microbiome—and it plays a foundational role in gut health, inflammation control, immune system regulation, and even brain function. The problem? Most people today are deficient due to poor microbiome health, low fiber tolerance, and chronic gut dysfunction. Steven breaks down how butyrate supports the integrity of the gut lining, fuels colon cells, regulates oxygen levels in the microbiome, and creates an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive. Without it, even the best diets and supplements may fall short.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Butyrate: What It Is & Why It Matters Tributerin vs Standard Butyrate Diet Debate (Fiber vs Carnivore vs Vegan) Root Cause vs Symptom-Based Healing Failures of Probiotics & Supplement Industry Nervous System & Environmental Inputs   More from Steven Wright: Website: healthygut.com Instagram: @healthygutco   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Bowel disease is becoming more and more common - in fact, in the 1950s, 1 in every 6667 Americans had bowel disease. Today, it's 1 in 2016. And experts are predicting that by 2045, that number will be 1 in 100.  This is an epidemic - and we have lots of medications to treat the symptoms - by why aren't we asking the real question: Why is bowel disease exploding and how can we prevent it?

Josh and Michael also unpack the concept of self-sufficiency, discussing practical ways to regain control over your food—even if you live in a city. From growing herbs to sourcing local farms, they emphasize that small steps toward food awareness can have a profound impact on overall health. One of the most compelling parts of the episode explores the emotional and ethical experience of producing your own food—and how it fundamentally changes your relationship with what you eat. This shift often leads to reduced waste, greater appreciation, and more intentional nutrition choices. If you're struggling with gut health issues, chronic inflammation, or simply feel disconnected from your health journey, this episode offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on addressing the root cause—starting with what's on your plate.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Food quality and industrial agriculture critique Growing your own food (practical + philosophy) Self-sufficiency and lifestyle design Emotional/ethical aspects of raising and killing animals Government regulation & food systems Practical steps to start (urban/suburban options)   More from Michael Kummer: Website: michaelkummer.com Instagram: @mkummer82 Youtube: @MichaelKummer X: @mkummer82 Listen to Michael's Podcast: The Primal Shift Podcast Michael's supplements: MK Supplements Newsletter: Subscribe Here   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Matty explains that eating disorders and unhealthy food patterns often stem from unresolved emotional experiences, including stress, shame, and even past trauma. In many cases, food becomes a coping mechanism—a way for the brain to regulate difficult emotions or create a sense of control. This is why traditional approaches to gut health, weight loss, and nutrition often fail to create lasting change.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Root Causes of Eating Disorders (trauma, psychology) Sexual Trauma & Its Impact on Food Behavior Orthorexia & "Healthy Eating" Extremes Defining Eating Disorders (spectrum vs extremes) Biology & Gender Differences in Eating Disorders Healing process & step-by-step framework   More from Matty Lansdown: Website: mattylansdown.com Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach Youtube: @therealweightlosscoach Listen to Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

After suffering from a severe injury that left her in chronic pain for years—relying on morphine and mobility aids—Brandy was told by doctors there was nothing more they could do. Determined to find answers, she turned to medical research and discovered a deeper layer of healing rooted in the mind-body connection. What she uncovered challenges conventional approaches to chronic illness. Brandy now demonstrates, under medical thermal imaging, how individuals can reduce pain and inflammation in real time by shifting subconscious emotional patterns. This isn't about positive thinking—it's about identifying and changing the specific emotional "ingredients" that influence the nervous system and immune response.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Mind-Body Connection & Real-Time Healing Emotional Patterns & Chronic Illness Subconscious Mind vs Conscious Belief Role of Trauma, Guilt & Fear Nervous System & Pattern Conditioning Brandy's Injury & Recovery Journey Live Pain Reduction Demonstration   More from Brandy Gillmore: Website: brandygillmore.com Instagram: @brandygillmore X: @BrandyGillmore Facebook: Brandy Gillmore   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Around the world, fertility rates are collapsing. Couples are struggling to get pregnant more than ever before, and the common solution most people hear is simple: try IVF, take hormones, or hope for the best. But what if infertility isn't actually the problem? What if infertility is your body's signal that something deeper is going wrong? Dr. Aumatma explains that fertility is actually the first biological system to shut down when the body perceives stress or danger. When the immune system is inflamed, the microbiome is disrupted, or the body is overloaded with toxins, reproduction becomes a low priority for survival. For anyone struggling with fertility, hormonal imbalance, or chronic inflammation, this episode offers a powerful reminder that the body is always communicating — and understanding those signals may be the key to restoring true reproductive health.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Male fertility decline (testosterone & sperm count) IVF, reproductive technology, and limitations Natural selection in fertilization and reproductive biology Hormonal regulation and endocrine function Environmental toxins and reproductive damage Circadian rhythm and stress impacting fertility Listening to the body's signals (PMS, cycles, symptoms) Root-cause functional medicine approach to fertility   More from Dr. Aumatma Simmons: Website: madrefertility.com Instagram: @holisticfertilitydoctor   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Jordan's journey began with a devastating diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a severe inflammatory bowel condition that left him wheelchair-bound after consulting 69 medical experts. After losing over 80 pounds and exhausting conventional treatments, he discovered a radically different approach rooted in whole foods, gut healing, and ancient dietary practices. The result: a complete transformation in his health. Jordan went on to become the author of more than thirty books and founder of multiple natural health companies. In this conversation, he shares insights from his newest book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how biblical-era food practices align with modern research on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Red meat and grains as controversial superfoods Modern agriculture and nutrient depletion The role of supplementation in modern nutrition Parenting and raising children with a real-food lifestyle The psychological and spiritual dimension of healing (hope and belief)   More from Jordan Rubin: Book: The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin Website: thebibliodiet.com Instagram: @jordansrubin   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
