About this episode

Modern medicine tells us chronic conditions require lifelong medications, but today's guest challenges this belief. @drjoshaxe reveals how he's spent twenty years proving that most "irreversible" conditions can actually be reversed through natural methods—inspired by watching his mother beat cancer without conventional treatments.

We explore why sugar's impact varies dramatically depending on its source, how emotions physically manifest as disease in specific organs, and why Japanese elders maintain health without endless testing. From explaining practical approaches to optimising nutrition to sharing his remarkable recovery from a paralysing spinal infection, Dr. Axe offers a roadmap for anyone facing health challenges. This conversation will transform how you understand your body's capacity to heal.
