Description

Episode Summary:
What if your chronic symptoms aren't your fault—but the result of being failed by a broken system?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman—author of UnCurable and founder of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine—to explore the deeper reasons behind weight loss resistance, autoimmune illness, trauma, and more.

We discuss the 4 reasons people struggle to lose weight (even when "doing everything right"), how to regenerate the body using light, food, and rhythm, and why addressing unresolved trauma may be the key to healing.

Dr. Hartman's story of healing his daughter—and what he now knows about the body's design—is one you don't want to miss.

What We Covered:

  • Dr. Hartman's story: How healing his daughter reshaped his view of medicine

  • The 4 root reasons you're not losing weight (and what to do instead)

  • Why trauma can block metabolic healing

  • GLP-1 drugs: useful tool or long-term concern?

  • The real reason autoimmune disease is exploding—and what the immune system is trying to tell us

  • How circadian biology, light, and rhythm affect healing

  • What most doctors are missing about chronic illness and regeneration

  • Simple ways to begin restoring your body—starting this week
