There are cases that don’t resolve the way you expect them to.

The labs look reasonable. The protocol makes sense.

And yet… something isn’t shifting.

In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie sits down with Kim Rogers to explore a layer that’s often debated and often misunderstood—parasites, gut burden, and the role they may play in complex, unresolved cases.

This isn’t about assuming parasites are the answer. It’s about expanding how we think. When symptoms don’t line up and progress stalls, it may be worth asking different questions.

You’ll hear where this conversation can be useful, where it can go too far, and how to approach it without losing clinical discernment.

Guest Bio

Kim Rogers - Worm Queen! Kim Rogers has spent more than 20 years working within the Western healthcare system—authoring national certification exams, advising health boards, and teaching in colleges—until her own health crisis revealed something shocking: her body was infested with parasites.

After years of being dismissed by doctors while suffering from endometriosis, mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and extreme fatigue, Kim took matters into her own hands. What she found? Worms, candida, and heavy metals were silently wreaking havoc on her body—and no one in conventional medicine was talking about it.

Now known as the “Worm Queen,” Kim has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram for showing exactly what she detoxed (think: visible worms, mucus, and more). Her raw, unfiltered videos have reached millions—because they expose the side of wellness that no one wants to talk about, but everyone needs to hear.

Kim is the founder of RogersHood Apothecary and the creator of the ParaFy Kit, a holistic parasite cleanse protocol that’s waking people up to what’s living inside them.
