What if the symptoms you've been struggling with have a deeper root cause?
In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Kim Rogers, aka "The Worm Queen," to explore parasites, environmental toxins, mold exposure, detoxification, herbs, mushrooms, and the complex factors that can influence chronic health symptoms.
Kim spent more than 20 years working in Western medicine before her own health challenges, including endometriosis, Lyme disease, mold exposure and suspected parasite issues sent her searching for a different approach.
Her personal healing journey ultimately led her to co-found RogersHood Apothecary and create the ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit.
Kim shares what she learned about parasites, environmental exposures and the importance of understanding the body's detoxification pathways. She also explains why she believes herbs work best as synergistic combinations, why supporting the immune system and detox pathways matters, and why becoming your own health advocate can be one of the most important steps in a healing journey.
We also dive into the controversy and questions surrounding parasite testing, water quality, mold, environmental toxins and the symptoms that can overlap with other chronic health conditions.
