The Unplugged Healthcast with Dr. Kevin Wall

What if chiropractic is far more than back pain relief? In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall is joined by Dr. Ryan Scully and Dr. Josh Bock for a powerful conversation about the history, science, and life-changing impact of chiropractic care. From the story of chiropractic’s origin in 1895 to modern-day patient transformations, this episode explores why proper spinal alignment matters so much for the nervous system, healing, and whole-body function.  Dr. Wall explains that chiropractic is not about “believing” in something—it’s about understanding how the body was designed to work. When the spine is misaligned, the nervous system can’t communicate the way it should. When that interference is removed, the body often begins to do what it was created to do: heal, adapt, and function normally. Throughout the episode, Dr. Wall, Dr. Scully, and Dr. Bock share real stories from practice, including patients who experienced relief from migraines, digestive issues, constipation, pregnancy challenges, eczema, and more. They also address common misconceptions about chiropractic, safety concerns, and why people shouldn’t give up if one chiropractor wasn’t the right fit.   Guest Bios: Dr. Ryan Sculley is a chiropractic physician and corporate leader with AFC Physical Medicine Centers, where he helps guide long-term vision, operations, strategy, and leadership development across the organization. With decades of experience using goal setting in business and life, Dr. Sculley is passionate about helping people build confidence through small daily wins, especially when it comes to strengthening habits that improve physical and mental health. Dr. Josh Bock is a chiropractic physician and analytics-focused leader at AFC Physical Medicine Centers, where he tracks clinic performance and helps teams build measurable, step-by-step plans for growth and success. Known for his practical, systems-based approach, Dr. Bock enjoys making big goals achievable by breaking them into clear, realistic action steps, whether that’s improving health, strengthening relationships, or creating a smarter plan for finances and nutrition.   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall Disclaimer: The content provided in this health podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Ever had home insurance make you “whole” again after a storm, then realize health insurance has zero intention of doing the same? In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with Dr. Derek Price to pull back the curtain on a modern reality most people don’t have words for: being “functionally uninsured.” You may pay your premium every month… but with sky-high deductibles, rising copays, prior authorizations, and denied approvals, you still can’t afford to actually use your coverage when you need care. Dr. Price shares his personal journey, from Big 10 football to the Detroit Lions, a life-altering neck injury, and the spine surgeon’s blunt wake-up call that sent him into chiropractic. Together, he and Dr. Wall break down how the insurance model shifted from “make you whole” healthcare to “manage risk” disease coverage and why patients and providers are both getting squeezed.   Guest Bio: Dr. Derek Price is a chiropractor and healthcare executive with a rare, wide-angle view of the modern medical system. Before entering healthcare, he played Big 10 football at the University of Iowa and later signed with the Detroit Lions. A serious neck injury and a spine surgeon’s blunt insight changed the trajectory of his life—leading him into chiropractic and a career spanning multiple corners of healthcare, including physical therapy, orthopedics, pain management, family practice, and behavioral health leadership. Today, Dr. Price is passionate about exposing the “functionally uninsured” reality impacting everyday families—and helping patients understand how to access care without letting insurance dictate their outcomes.   Resources:  GoodRx Products: https://www.drkevinwall.com/products   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall Disclaimer: The content provided in this health podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Words matter, especially when they become identity. In this episode, Dr. Wall breaks down why a “diagnosis” can be helpful information or a harmful label that convinces you you’re stuck forever. The goal isn’t to ignore symptoms, it’s to stop treating the name like the finish line and start asking the better question: Why is this happening? Joining him is Emelia Kay, PA at AFC Physical Medicine, who compares conventional “manage the symptoms” care with a functional approach that looks upstream: gut health, stress physiology, nutrition, deficiencies, and environmental triggers. They walk through common “diagnoses” (IBS, headaches, insulin resistance, hair loss, allergies) and share practical next steps that can help you move from labels to root causes. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why a diagnosis can become an identity The difference between conventional care and a functional root-cause approach IBS: the gut-brain connection, stress/cortisol, and why baseline testing matters Headaches: common nutrient deficiencies and a simple “functional” supplement trio Insulin resistance: key lifestyle levers + supportive nutrients (and why cortisol matters) Hair loss: what to look at beyond thyroid—including vitamin and mineral markers Environmental allergies: why symptoms aren’t just “sinus-related” and how inflammation shows up everywhere Why allergy testing + immunotherapy can be a game-changer for whole-body inflammation Resources mentioned: AFC Physical Medicine Desert Ridge – https://www.afcchiropractic.com/desert-ridge-clinic.html Essential Family Health and Wellness – https://www.efhwc.com/team Functional & Root-Cause Testing – Blood work beyond standard labs, morning cortisol testing, gut and allergy testing to identify underlying causes of chronic symptoms Guest Bio: Emelia Kay, MS, PA-C, is a board-certified Physician Assistant with experience across primary care, gastroenterology, and integrative physical medicine. She currently practices at AFC Physical Medicine in Phoenix, Arizona, where she focuses on addressing root causes of chronic pain, gut dysfunction, allergies, metabolic issues, and hormone imbalances.

Ever had a “roof-walk” moment—where one small shift in footing makes your whole body feel it? Dr. Kevin Wall flips the usual conversation and goes bottom-to-top, unpacking why the feet aren’t just “feet”… they’re the foundation that can influence knees, hips, back, posture, and performance. Joining him is Dr. Robert Weil (“Dr. Bob”), a sports podiatrist and longtime host of The Sports Doctor, who shares decades of real-world insight, from youth athletes to weekend warriors to older adults, on what proper orthotics are designed to do, why “support” isn’t the best word, and how stability + efficiency can change everything. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why foot mechanics can drive recurring knee, hip, and back problems, even when your feet don’t hurt The difference between over-the-counter inserts vs custom prescription orthotics “Hard vs soft” isn’t the real question: rigid vs flexible (and why flexible materials often win) The role of pronation/supination: when it’s normal vs when it becomes a problem Two simple things you can start tomorrow: foot/ankle strengthening + balance training When barefoot running/minimal shoes can help… and when they can backfire Why shoes matter by sport (running vs court sports) and how often to replace them Guest Bio: Dr. Robert Weil (aka “Dr. Bob”) is a sports podiatrist with decades of experience helping patients improve foot mechanics, posture, comfort, and performance through custom orthotics and functional training. He is the host of The Sports Doctor radio show, which has been on the air for more than four decades, featuring experts from across the sports medicine world. Over the years, Dr. Weil has worked with elite and professional athletes (including tennis, NFL, and Olympic-level competitors) and is known for making complex biomechanics practical for everyday people—whether you’re a serious athlete, a busy parent, or simply trying to move well for life.

If you’ve ever stared at a shelf of supplements and thought, “Do I really need all of this?”—this episode is for you. Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with juicing expert Daniel Boone to break down what “real” juicing actually is (and why blending isn’t the same), how fresh juice can support digestion and energy by delivering nutrients in a form your body can absorb quickly, and why extreme juice cleanses often miss the point—consistency wins. Daniel also shares the simplest way to start tomorrow without buying an expensive machine. Key points discussed: Why juicing ≠ smoothies/blending (and what “pre-digested” nutrition means) The fiber question: what you lose in juicing and how to balance it with whole foods Why bottled/store-bought juice isn’t the same (pasteurization + oxidation) Fruit vs. vegetable digestion and why apples are the easiest “mix-in” Alkaline/acid talk: how food choices can influence inflammation Supplements: which ones Daniel personally uses (and why powder can be more absorbable than pills) A simple starter plan: grapefruit juicing a few mornings per week + affordable juicer options Guest Bio: Daniel Boone is a wellness-minded entrepreneur and longtime student of juicing and nutrition. His personal journey into juicing began more than three decades ago when he wanted to improve his health markers—without jumping straight to medication. Over the years, Daniel has helped countless people simplify nutrition with practical routines and better-for-you options, and he now runs a wellness smoothie shop in Scottsdale, Arizona focused on high-protein, meal-style smoothies designed for busy real life.

Most people would never get in a car and drive for years without a destination… but that’s exactly how many of us approach our health. In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall is joined by Dr. Ryan Sculley and Dr. Josh Bock (leaders at AFC Physical Medicine Centers) to break down why most people drift in their health, and how simple goal setting can change everything. They walk through the most common goal-setting mistakes (too many goals, comparison, quitting too soon, unrealistic expectations), then give a practical framework for building goals that actually stick: write it down, make it specific and measurable, attach a deadline, and create small action steps you can repeat daily. Key Takeaways: Health doesn’t improve “by accident”. You need a clear target and a plan. Fewer goals = better results (focus beats overwhelm). Stop comparing: aim for progress you can sustain. Small daily wins build momentum, confidence, and consistency. Write your goals where you’ll see them and review them daily.

What if your biggest health breakthrough next year isn’t a “new supplement”… but doing the hard thing you’ve been avoiding? In this year-end episode, Dr. Kevin Wall looks back on the most talked-about conversations and viral clips from this past year, then ties them together with one consistent theme: real health isn’t a magic bullet. It’s simple habits, consistent care, and the courage to question quick-fix thinking. You’ll hear highlights on: Headaches Nerve pain vs. muscle pain Neuropathy & blood sugar Pre-diabetes warning signs Hormones & metabolism Diabetes reality check Cold plunging & discomfort tolerance Muscle + fasting + autophagy Gluten & gut health As you head into the new year, Dr. Wall’s challenge is simple: write down what you’re afraid of, pick the hardest “frog,” and start there.

What if your “bad back” isn’t random at all, but a predictable progression you could have interrupted years ago?  Dr. Kevin Wall pulls back the curtain on the seven stages of lower back pain, why sitting has become its own “pandemic,” and how your gut, your nervous system, and even big pharma all intersect in the story of your spine. After 36 years of treating thousands of patients, he maps out the pathway from “I’m just a little stiff” to “I’ve given up my life because of pain”—and how to get off that road at any stage. Dr. Wall also shares the moment that changed the trajectory of his career: doing pharmaceutical research that didn’t actually prove what the published papers claimed it did. That experience sent him into chiropractic, integrated health clinics, and eventually into helping patients address the deeper metabolic and gut issues that keep their pain coming back.   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall   Resources: Gut Reset / Feel Great System – Dr. Wall’s recommended metabolic and gut health program to address systemic inflammation, blood sugar issues, and diffuse pain (look for the “Gut Reset” or “Feel Great System” button on his site).

What if the posture your family lives in today determines the health your grandchildren live with tomorrow? In this episode, Dr. Wall sits down with world-renowned physician, author, and chronic pain expert Dr. James Stoxen to expose one of the fastest-growing diagnoses in modern healthcare: text neck and the far more dangerous evolution of it — thoracic outlet syndrome. We’re living in a generation that no longer lifts, bends, or labors physically. Instead, we’re hunched over phones and screens, collapsing our spines, starving our nerves, and creating an inflammation storm that’s not only wrecking our posture, but it’s wrecking our mood, our sleep, and our long-term health. Dr. Stoxen breaks down: Why tech-driven posture is reversing the natural S-curve we were designed to develop The hidden signs of thoracic outlet syndrome. How chronic inflammation triggers anxiety, depression, and accelerated aging The 24–30 hour deep-tissue system he uses to clear inflammation and rebuild the body’s natural spring How parents can detect early warning signs in their children and prevent this epidemic from becoming generational Guest Bio: Dr. James Stoxen is a #1 international bestselling author and one of the world’s leading experts on thoracic outlet syndrome, biomechanics, and natural recovery from chronic pain. Over his career, he has been invited to speak at more than 500 medical conferences across 50 cities and 30 countries, delivering over 60 keynote lectures. He also built one of the largest celebrity practices in the United States, treating world-tour entertainers on more than 140 national tours with award-winning performers. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Orthopedic Science & Research and sits on the editorial boards of over 40 medical journals, underscoring his global influence in sports medicine, biomechanics, and integrative health science. In addition, he is an Honorary Fellow in Sports and Exercise Medicine and serves on multiple international medical advisory boards.

Have the “itis brothers” moved into your life, tendonitis, bursitis, gastritis, myositis… and their loudest cousins, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis? In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with regenerative pain specialist Dr. Mareshah Dunning to expose why so many of us are stuck with chronic joint pain, endless diagnoses, and lifetime prescriptions, and what you can actually do to evict the itis brothers for good. Dr. Wall and Dr. Dunning unpack what “-itis” really means (spoiler: it just means inflammation), why naming your pain is not the same as finding the cause, and how our current medical model plays a game of “name that tune” with your symptoms. Instead of asking “What pill matches this diagnosis?” they ask the better question: “Why is this tissue inflamed in the first place?” Guest Bio: Dr. Mareshah Dunning is an Interventional Naturopathic Regenerative Medicine Pain Physician with Solutions Regenerative Medicine, practicing out of the Neil Riordan Center for Regenerative Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. Her clinical focus is pain management with a regenerative mindset, helping patients move beyond numbing their symptoms to actually addressing the deeper causes of joint and tissue degeneration. She treats a wide range of conditions, from osteoarthritis and tendonitis to autoimmune-driven joint disease, always aiming to restore function, reduce pain, and get patients back to living their lives, playing with their kids, staying active, and doing what they love, without becoming dependent on opioids or endless steroid injections. Dr. Dunning is also passionate about patient education, helping people understand epigenetics, lifestyle, diet, and biomechanics so they can take back control of their health.

Anxiety is at an all-time high, but what if a lot of what you’re feeling is actually a false alarm instead of a life sentence? In this greatest hits conversation, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with his longtime friend and counselor, Dr. Don Worcester, to unpack why anxiety is so rampant, how our imaginations fuel it, and what it really takes to step off the loop and onto a bigger track. Together, they dig into the difference between feeling and function, why pain is often the last thing to show and the first thing to go, and why waiting for symptoms before you act is like waiting for a root canal before you see the dentist. Dr. Don explains anxiety as something we experience in the absence of love, using powerful illustrations: darkness as the absence of light, cold as the absence of heat, and anxiety as the “virtual reality headset” your brain forgets it’s wearing. Guest Bio: Dr. Don Worcester is a counseling psychologist and the founder of True North Consulting, offering coaching, speaking, and training services. With over 25 years of experience, he specializes in helping couples strengthen their relationships through retreats and online resources, alongside his wife, Renee.

Do we really need 15 people, an IV, and a timer to welcome a baby—or have we drifted from what the body was built to do? Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with veteran midwife, educator, and author Elizabeth Davis (40+ years in birth work) to unpack when home birth is safer, how midwives screen risk, and why birth hormones (oxytocin, beta-endorphins, noradrenaline) matter for bonding, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. They compare intervention-heavy hospital norms (inductions, Pitocin, epidurals, C-sections) with midwifery care that screens out high-risk moms, monitors vitals continuously, transports when needed, and stays with families after the birth. You’ll hear practical “do this next” steps for pregnancy and the first 10–12 days postpartum. What They Cover: Why 70% of pregnancies may be lower-risk—and what that means for place of birth How midwives screen out risk (history, labs, vitals, ongoing assessments) Birth hormones 101: how interventions can short-circuit bonding & bleeding control Induction & Pitocin: when it’s used vs. when “watchful patience” wins C-section rates: why the default matters for lifelong mom & baby health Safety net: when and how midwives do transport—and the emergency skills they carry Postpartum reality: daily home visits, breastfeeding support, and preventing crash-and-burn Guest Bio: Renowned expert Elizabeth Davis has been a midwife, holistic health care specialist, educator, and political consultant for over 40 years. She is internationally active in promoting physiologic birth and is widely sought after for her expertise in midwifery education and organizational development. She holds a degree in Holistic Maternity Care, is a certified professional midwife (CPM) in good standing, and is co-founder of the MEAC-accredited National Midwifery Institute, Inc. Her journey began in the late 1970’s, when direct-entry midwifery was illegal in most the United States. Having personally experienced the contrast between a violent, abusive hospital birth and an ecstatic, glorious home birth, she felt called to do something to help create the organizational and political infrastructure to make birth at home widely available in the US. To this end, she was a founding member of: The Midwives Alliance of North America (open to midwives of all educational backgrounds), whom she served as Pacific Regional Representative and Education Committee Chair for five years.

It’s time to wake up and unplug from the confusion around diabetes and “managing” symptoms. Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with registered nurse and metabolic health educator Yvette Oxford to expose what’s happening behind the curtain of diabetes care—and to share a simple, common-sense path to reverse course. From insulin resistance to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk, Yvette explains how food choices, fasting windows, muscle training, and targeted nutraceuticals can flip your body back to fat-fuel, quiet cravings, and restore metabolic health. Health is simpler than you think—here’s how to start. What we cover Why type 1 and type 2 are different diseases requiring different approaches The business of “eat, inject, repeat” vs. real reversal Insulin as a fat-storage signal (and how to turn it down) The 4 keystones: prioritize protein, don’t fear healthy fats, time-restrict eating, and therapeutically reduce carbs Why many adults do best around ≤20g net carbs/day during a reset Metformin, GLP-1s, and what lifestyle can replace or reduce Metabolic links to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, hypertension, and “type 3” (Alzheimer’s) risk A practical metabolic reset you can begin this week Hope stories: A1c down, triglycerides down, HDL up, waistlines down   Guest Bio: Yvette Oxford is a registered nurse and metabolic health educator with a rare 360° view of the system—spanning elite sports massage, hospital bedside care, ER/trauma, diabetes device training, and pharmaceutical sales. After years inside traditional pathways, she returned to wellness education to help people reverse the patterns driving type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. Yvette specializes in insulin resistance, therapeutic carb reduction, fasting strategies, and evidence-informed nutraceutical support. She coaches clients on reading labs, building muscle-centric nutrition, and asking the right seven questions at the doctor’s office—so patients stop outsourcing their health and start taking it back.   Resources: You’re Not Broken - You’re Blocked.

Dr. Wall wraps our mental health series with a provocative question: could mold exposure and parasites be fueling anxiety, depression, brain fog, even memory issues? Dr. Wall connects the dots between mycotoxins, immune inflammation, neurotransmitter disruption, nutrient theft, and practical next steps to reclaim clarity. Key Takeaways Vitamin G recap: Gratitude and depression/anxiety can’t coexist—make gratitude a daily “dose.” Your mess = your stress: Clutter and disorganization raise stress hormones, disrupt sleep, and worsen mental health. Mold 101: Prolonged exposure → immune activation + inflammation, mycotoxins that disrupt neurotransmitters, worsened allergies/asthma → lower oxygenation and higher anxiety. Parasites & mood: Direct neuro-invasion, chronic immune activation, nutrient theft (B-vitamins, omega-3s), and even behavior manipulation can present like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and memory issues. What to do: Identify and remediate sources of moisture/mold (consider professional testing; in stubborn cases, relocation may be necessary). Kill & clear: Structured parasite protocols; then binders/detox support. Rebuild brain nutrition: Omega-3s, B-complex, magnesium, zinc, iron (as indicated), vitamin D + sunlight exposure (see prior “light” episode). Keep it simple: food, water, sunlight, order—then targeted support. Resources:  Liver detox support: PushCatch Liver Detox Parasite support: CellCore Para 1 & Para 2.

Clutter isn’t just annoying—it quietly elevates stress chemistry, disrupts sleep, and bleeds time, money, and joy. Dr. Kevin Wall welcomes professional organizer Dena Wall (yes, his better half) to break down how disorganization fuels anxiety and what simple, repeatable systems restore clarity, calm, and health. They discuss:  Clutter → cortisol: visual mess fuels low-grade fight/flight, anxiety, inflammation, and poor sleep. Outer space mirrors inner state: changing your environment helps change your mindset and follow-through. Disorganization is expensive: duplicates, missed bills, and constant re-buys add up fast. Relationships suffer: embarrassment, lateness, and constant chaos push people away. Dena’s Core Systems (5) Night-before plan: time-boxed schedule with A (must) and B (nice) tasks. Weekly meals posted: visible board ends “what’s for dinner?” and takeout creep. Chore cadence: same jobs on the same days = less decision fatigue. Mail triage station: trash • read-later • to-do/pay (process only when you can act). “Put the house to bed”: 5–10 minute nightly reset (sinks/counters clear, quick tidy). Guest Bio: Dena Wall is a professional organizer and systems strategist with 20+ years of experience helping families, small businesses, and healthcare clinics create calm, efficient spaces that support healthier lives. She’s been integral to keeping AFC Physical Medicine operations streamlined, and she coaches clients to build simple, sustainable routines—from nightly “house to bed” resets to mail triage that ends late fees. Dena holds degrees in Public Relations and Business, is a published author (with a new book releasing soon), and believes organization is a practical pathway to lower stress, better relationships, and greater purpose. When she’s not labeling a pantry that would make Pinterest proud, she’s serving her community, meal-planning, and making order feel doable (and even fun).   Resources: Mail station with 3 bins: Trash • Read-Later • To-Do/Pay Weekly meal board (chalkboard/whiteboard on the wall) Family paperwork baskets by person/child Nightly “house to bed” checklist (counters, sink, quick tidy) Timer method (15-minute sprints → 17 → 20 minutes) Closet hanger test + 1-in, 1-out clothing rule Professional organizer: typical rates $50–$100/hr Contact to inquire/ask Dena a question: https://www.drkevinwall.com/send-us-your-questions   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall   Disclaimer: The content provided in this health podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Dr. Wall is kicking off a series on mental health, depression, anxiety, and the growing sense of hopelessness, and starting with a powerful, free intervention: gratitude. Mike calls it “Vitamin G.” From death-row forgiveness (Anthony Ray Hinton) to wartime resilience (Corrie ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer), they explore how shifting from anger and bitterness to everyday thankfulness can change your brain chemistry, your relationships, your immune system, and your story. What you’ll learn: Why gratitude and depression don’t coexist—and how “Vitamin G” raises your mental baseline The brain science in plain English: Gratitude practices can boost dopamine and serotonin Forgiveness, bitterness, and your body: how your inner life shows up as real symptoms Gratitude in conflict: the 3-thanks reset that changes your tone, body language, and outcomes “Thermostat vs. thermometer”: setting the atmosphere at home, work, church, and community Simple nightly practice that compounds into resilience and joy Resources: Anthony Ray Hinton — The Sun Does Shine: (wrongfully imprisoned; radical forgiveness and freedom) Corrie ten Boom — The Hiding Place: (the “fleas” story and gratitude in hardship) Dietrich Bonhoeffer — biographies/films on courage and joy through trials Johns Hopkins & Mayo Clinic — plain-language articles and studies linking forgiveness/gratitude to lower blood pressure, better sleep, improved mood, and stronger immunity Rice Broocks - God's Not Dead Guest Bio: Mike Gowans is an international speaker, missionary, coach, and consultant who has served across India, Africa, South America, Latin America, and here in the U.S. He pastors two churches in Arizona’s Valley and collaborates closely with Rice Broocks (author behind God’s Not Dead).

Dr. Bush shares how upgrading her family’s water made a dramatic difference for her medically complex son, and Kevin lays out a simple, budget-aware ladder from “dirtiest to cleanest” so you can choose wisely at home. They cover: Why most people are more dehydrated than they think (and how your body “prioritizes” water) Hydration & performance: joints, discs, ligaments, and cerebrospinal fluid Fluids ≠ water, Gatorade, diet soda, and caffeine as diuretics Electrolytes & salts: when a pinch helps—and what kind of salt to use Tap, fridge filters, RO, alkaline, spring, distilled, hydrogen—what’s actually worth it Whole-home filtration: showers, laundry, and skin exposure A simple ranking: Purified → Spring/Alkaline → Distilled (+electrolytes) → Hydrogen Guest Bio: Dr. Jennifer Bush, D.C., is a chiropractor at AFC Physical Medicine & Chiropractic Desert Ridge in Arizona, specializing in holistic family care.

Dr. Dorais shares his personal 7-year health crisis, the unconventional liver cleanse that helped restore his energy and testosterone naturally, and the Top 10 Everyday Toxins you’re being exposed to — from glyphosates to MSG, artificial sweeteners, prescription drugs, and more.   Guest Bio: Dr. Chris Dorais is a PhD researcher, educator, and author specializing in environmental toxins, detoxification protocols, and natural recovery strategies for chronic illness. After a sudden collapse in his 30s left him with severe back pain, food allergies, and plummeting testosterone, Dr. Dorais spent seven years and tens of thousands of dollars searching for answers. His breakthrough came through targeted liver cleansing — a process that not only restored his energy but became the foundation of his research. He is the author of Detox Memoir and 12 Step Detox, and is passionate about helping people understand the real sources of toxicity in modern life, the critical role of the liver and gallbladder, and practical steps to reclaim their health.

Is the sun really your enemy? In this episode of The Unplugged Healthcast, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with light therapy expert Ken Ceder, founder of SOLshine.
