In this episode of The Birth Lounge podcast, HeHe sits down with Kim Rogers — aka the Worm Queen — for a conversation that will totally change the way you think about parasites and your health.

We’re talking about what parasites actually are (spoiler: they’re total energy vampires), where they come from, and how they can sneakily impact everything from your gut to your sleep to your mental health. Yes, even your anxiety and mood swings might have a parasitic connection.

HeHe and Kim dive into the fascinating link between parasites and the full moon, why your pets might be part of the story, and what to watch for in your own body. Kim also shares her personal journey through parasite infections and how it inspired her to create the Purify Parasite Cleanse kit.

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re feeling drained, foggy, or just off, this episode is your permission slip to explore what’s really going on inside your body, and learn some practical steps to protect yourself and your family.

Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts fascinating and empowering. It’s time to pull back the curtain on a taboo topic that deserves way more attention.
