Myers Detox Podcast

What if everything you were taught about how a virus is discovered and proven is flawed? Today I'm joined by Dr. Thomas Cowan, a family physician of 37 years who spent his career practicing conventional medicine before turning his attention to the foundational evidence behind virology, immunology, and disease itself. Dr. Tom walks us through how viruses like polio, measles, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 have historically been "isolated" in lab settings and why he questions the reliability of PCR and antibody testing. He believes symptoms like fevers, rashes, and tumors are the body's own healing response rather than disease caused by an outside pathogen. We also get into his views on autoimmune disease, cholesterol, and blood pressure. If you're the kind of person who likes to question what you've been told and prefers to look at the primary research findings, this conversation will give you plenty to explore. "The things we call symptoms are not diseases. They are the body's attempt to heal." ~ Dr. Thomas Cowan In This Episode: - Why Dr. Tom questions the existence of viruses - How measles and SARS-CoV-2 were "isolated" - Measles diagnostic criteria and vaccine history - Views on COVID, HIV, gain-of-function, and antibody theory - What really causes "viral" diseases? - Validity of the PCR test methodology - Autoimmune disease reframed as poisoning or diet - Views on vaccine ingredients and dosing schedules - Cholesterol, blood pressure, and blocked arteries - Dr. Tom's views on genetic codons Products & Resources Mentioned: Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/ Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Dr. Thomas Cowan: Dr. Thomas Cowan is an alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker known for a holistic, common-sense approach to health.

Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep. Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention.

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health. Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages. You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.

Could erectile dysfunction be a warning sign from your body rather than just a performance issue? Today I'm hosting Dr. Jordan Barber to uncover how sexual health is connected to pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve compression, trauma, toxins, hormones, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Barber shares how his background in Chinese medicine and acupuncture has shaped his approach to identifying the root causes of ED rather than masking symptoms with quick fixes. We also discuss testosterone, circadian rhythms, vagus nerve health, and porn's impact on dopamine signaling. He also offers practical strategies men can use to support better sexual function and longevity. Tune in for the bigger picture behind erectile dysfunction and a more holistic approach to improving vitality.

Are your "healthy" protein shakes loading your body with toxins? It's easy to assume supplements are clean, yet the data tells a very different story. When nearly half of protein powders exceed safety limits for heavy metals, it raises a serious question of whether they are helping or harming our bodies. Today I'm chatting with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, CEO of Puori, to unpack what's really inside protein powders, collagen, and omega-3s. We talk about shocking industry findings, including testing that revealed widespread contamination, especially in plant-based proteins. Oliver shares how his company tests for over 200 contaminants and why transparency is the future. We also break down whey versus plant proteins, chocolate contamination, and how sourcing impacts your long-term health. If you're taking supplements daily, this conversation is essential. You'll learn what to look for on labels and how to make smarter choices. "Most pollution of our bodies doesn't come from a one-off exposure to a certain food. It comes from the accumulation of the things you're doing again and again." ~ Oliver Amdrup-Chamby In This Episode: - Oliver's backstory and why he co-founded Puori - Omega-3 quality and longevity - Heavy metals and other toxins in protein powders - SB 1033 regulation push and its significance - Heavy metals in chocolate protein powder - Types of protein powders: whey vs plant proteins - Toxicity in various powders, and concerns about soy protein isolate - Sustainable packaging versus purity - Quality ingredients and supplement testing for Puori products - Why Puori discontinued some products Products & Resources Mentioned: Puori - PW1 Grass-fed Whey Proteins: Use code WENDY to get 32% off your first order and get a free shaker worth $25 when you start a subscription at http://puori.com/wendy Tru Energy Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at https://heavymetalsquiz.com About Oliver Amdrup-Chamby: Oliver Amdrup-Chamby is the co-founder and CEO of Puori, a Danish health supplement company focused on transparency and purity.
