Could inflammation be contributing to your brain fog, fatigue, and joint pain? Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore chronic inflammation and its connection to aging, gut health, and menopause. They discuss turmeric, boswellia, and other Ayurvedic herbs, plus practical ways to bring more spices, seasonal foods, and variety into your daily meals.

Tired, bloated, or struggling with stubborn belly fat? Dr. Josh Axe explores how inflammation may contribute and shares a five-part protocol used in a 12-week study of 110 people. Learn about food, movement, spiritual practices, supplements, and a simple daily habit—plus how to measure inflammation and track your progress.

Stasi Eldredge thought she’d had an ideal childhood—until her husband, John, told her, “You're raging and it's hurting our children.” His honesty sparked a journey toward healing the wounds she hadn’t recognized. Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Stasi, co-author of Captivating and author of The Ladder of Love, to explore how emotional healing and spiritual breakthroughs connect to physical health—and how reexamining our stories can reshape our understanding of God and ourselves.

Fat is not the enemy — fat deficiency is. For decades, the low-fat message stripped the one macronutrient your cells use to build membranes, regulate hormones, and produce energy at the mitochondrial level. In this episode, Dr. Axe breaks down the specific fats your body was designed to run on, which ones are silently damaging your cells, and the food-first protocol to repair the damage — starting today.

Who decides which treatments you can access—and at what cost? Ways2Well founder Brigham Buhler joins Dr. Josh Axe to discuss pharmacy benefit managers, prescription pricing, and his fight for peptide access. They explore his FDA testimony, the debate over BPC-157 and GLP-1 medications, and his clinic’s use of plasma exchange and ozone therapy.

Could ancient foods hold clues to better health and a longer life? Dr. Josh Axe explores 10 superfoods found in Scripture and the modern research behind their potential benefits for heart health, brain function, and longevity. With Bible verses, study findings, and practical guidance on how much to eat, this episode turns ancient wisdom into a grocery list you can use today.

Lysa TerKeurst joins Dr. Josh Axe to share her journey through betrayal, emergency surgery and breast cancer—and the emotional and spiritual healing that followed. Together, they explore the connection between emotional trauma and physical well-being, the power of forgiveness, setting healthy boundaries and finding peace when life feels beyond your control.

Exhausted in the morning but wired at night? Dr. Josh Axe explores how stress and disrupted cortisol rhythms may affect your energy, sleep, and hormones. He ranks seven strategies to support a healthier rhythm, discusses herbs studied for stress support, and shares the weekly habit he values more than any supplement. **Resources mentioned:** - Free PDF — Balance Your Hormones Naturally: https://guide.thehealthinstitute.com/l-397

Dr. Josh Axe joins Dr. Will Cole to reveal how a stem-cell treatment led to a life-threatening spinal infection—and the protocol that helped him recover. They explore hyperbaric oxygen therapy, peptides, GLP-1 drugs, adaptogens, stem-cell safety, grief and the science of extending healthspan.

Your body makes its own master antioxidant — but after 40, production drops every year and most people never know it's low until something breaks. Dr. Axe walks through the clinical evidence, the exact blood marker hiding on your last lab panel, and a 4-step protocol to rebuild glutathione at the cellular level — without expensive IVs.

Dr. Gez Agolli has spent nearly 30 years using integrative medicine to treat cancer, autoimmune disease, and chronic illness — and what he's found challenges almost everything conventional medicine teaches about healing. Josh calls him one of his top two mentors in functional medicine, and this conversation covers the full protocol: terrain, toxicity, advanced therapies, and why testing matters more than guessing.

Your hormones, your sleep, your stress, your diet — they may all be affecting your health at a much deeper level than you realize. Dr. Josh Axe sits down with functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole and fitness and biohacking educator Dylan Gemelli for a no-holds-barred roundtable on what may actually be driving chronic disease, accelerated aging, hormonal dysfunction, and poor metabolic health — and why healing may need to start at the cellular level. In this episode, we learn why Dr. Axe and Dr. Cole believe cellular health could change how we approach chronic disease — and how to identify which systems in your body may be aging faster than others.

After 40, your biology rewrites the rules — and most people are still playing the old game. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the 7 mistakes that accelerate aging, why the scale is an outdated marker, and what a study of 140,000 people across 17 countries says actually predicts how long you'll live. In this episode: - Why muscle loss after 40 is silent, slow, and almost always preventable — and the two-day-a-week fix that reverses it - The grip strength finding from 140,000 adults that predicts mortality better than blood pressure or cholesterol - Why GLP-1s and aggressive dieting without strength training leave you metabolically weaker, not stronger - The blood markers most doctors skip — fasting insulin, ApoB, and high-sensitivity CRP — and why "normal" isn't the same as optimal - How poor sleep and social isolation are quietly compounding every other health mistake you're making - Josh's personal protocol after recovering from a spinal infection at 41 — and what his 76-year-old water-skiing father proves is possible Grab our free guide for the Bloodwork Markers that Matter Most: https://bit.ly/draxe25bloodworkmarkers Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.

Your immune system may not be malfunctioning — it may be doing exactly what it was designed to do. Gary Brecka joins Dr. Josh Axe to reveal why one root cause drives nearly every autoimmune condition, and what you can actually do about it. **In this episode:** - Why you likely don't have multiple autoimmune diseases — and the single upstream trigger (mold, mycotoxins, parasites, viruses, or heavy metals) that creates the domino effect - How the blood functions as a living ecosystem, and why "cleaning the tank" is the first step to healing chronic illness - The breathwork protocol Gary uses daily — no equipment, no cost — and the science behind intermittent hypoxia reversing biological age - What the X Prize longevity study found: 8.6 years of age reversal using oxygen training, less than halfway through the trial - Why sleep is the most underprotected lever in your health — and what community and connection do to lifespan that no supplement can replicate - The free, foundational habits Gary ranks above every biohacking device in his own home Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.

In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe walks through the exact 7-step sequence he would follow if he had to rebuild his health from zero: the things that make the biggest difference fastest, layered so each one makes the next easier. **In this episode:** - Why 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy — and the one blood marker most doctors skip that predicts disease a decade early - The sleep fix that beats duration: why a consistent wake time (not more hours) cuts risk of death by up to 48% - The ancient after-meal walk that matched a full 45-minute workout for 24-hour blood sugar control - Why resistance training twice a week is the highest-return investment if you're over 40 — and why body weight and bands count - The "crowd out, don't cut out" food strategy that helped Josh's patients reverse autoimmune disease and hypothyroidism without giving up the meals they loved - Why guarding your peace isn't soft advice — church attendance alone was linked to a 33% lower risk of death over 16 years, and the physiology behind it is real Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.

Most people treating anxiety are starting in the wrong place. Madison Prewett Troutt — author, speaker, and podcast host — makes the case that anxiety, loneliness, and chronic exhaustion are primarily spiritual battles, and that no supplement or protocol will produce lasting freedom until the foundation is addressed first. **In this episode:** - Why your body is a temple and what it actually means to steward it well — physically, spiritually, and relationally - The three things every human needs to be truly healthy: connection to God, connection to people, and connection to the earth - Satan's specific strategies to keep you stuck in fear, comparison, and compromise — and how to recognize them - A real spiritual prescription for overcoming anxiety (prayer, confession, praise, gratitude, and addressing childhood trauma) - How community, marriage, and mentorship shape your health just as much as what you eat - The health habits Madison and Grant actually practice — cold plunge, infrared sauna, and the mindset behind all of it Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Are you eating well, moving your body, and trying to sleep better — but still feeling older than you should? Stiffer joints, lower energy, and a sense that the last few years have aged you faster than the years before? That feeling has a cause, and it is not laziness or bad genetics. In this episode, we dive into why aging happens inside your cells first, and how your body catches up later. I walk through the 4 specific drivers that accelerate cellular aging and the 5 evidence-backed levers you can use to slow — and in some cases reverse — that process. Stay until the end for the clinical trial where participants did not just slow cellular aging… but after five years, they measurably turned it backward. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your biological age — not the number on your driver's license — determines how you feel, think, and move • The 4 key mechanisms breaking down your cells right now, including telomere shortening, mitochondrial decline, slowed autophagy, and senescent cell buildup • How telomeres work like the plastic tips on a shoelace, and why emotional stress wears them down faster than almost anything else • What autophagy is, why your cellular cleanup crew slows with age, and how to switch it back on • Why resistance training is the single most powerful tool for building new mitochondria and slowing cellular aging • The specific fats that keep your cell membranes flexible and springy — and the ones that make them brittle • How deep sleep triggers growth hormone release, clears damaged proteins, and runs the brain's overnight repair cycle • The 9 blood biomarkers from a 2018 study in the journal Aging that predict longevity better than chronological age • The five-year lifestyle trial where one group lengthened their telomeres by 10% while the control group's shortened by 3% Download the FREE "Cellular Repair Guide" here: https://guide.thehealthinstitute.com/l-386 Find out what's really happening inside your body with advanced at-home biomarker testing — which includes a 60 minute consultation to review your results and learn about our cellular healing protocols at The Health Institute → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

Your gut lining is thinner than you think — and that single fact may explain your skin issues, hormonal chaos, and stubborn inflammation. Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, known as the Queen of Bone Broth, joins Dr. Axe to walk through the food-based protocols she has used with patients for 30 years to heal the gut, support collagen, and ease menopause symptoms naturally. **In this episode:** - Why bone broth and collagen directly repair the gut lining — and which amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) are doing the work - The counterintuitive reason raw vegetables can make gut problems worse, and what to eat instead when your digestion is already compromised - How the HPA axis drives hot flashes and what cortisol management actually looks like in a menopause protocol - Why blood sugar is almost always the upstream problem behind heart risk — and how metabolic flexibility through bone broth fasting addresses the root cause - The case for a “mono diet” during acute gut distress, drawn from Dr. Kellyann’s clinical experience and her time studying at a Swiss healing clinic - How spirituality, gratitude, and reducing chronic stress affect cellular healing — and why Dr. Kellyann considers this non-negotiable in practice Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → ⁠http://mybloodwork.com⁠ Thank you to our sponsors!

Are you taking fish oil, turmeric, greens powders, and dozens of other supplements but still waking up feeling stiff, inflamed, and exhausted? Dr. Josh Axe reveals a surprising truth: you can't supplement your way out of an inflammatory diet. In this episode, Dr. Axe explains why the foods you eat every day have a far greater impact on inflammation than any pill ever could.

You'll discover why inflammation isn't always bad, how chronic inflammation quietly fuels disease, and why the Mediterranean diet consistently outperforms supplements in scientific studies. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why inflammation is the hidden driver behind most chronic illnesses • Why whole foods outperform supplements • The truth about fish oil versus eating wild-caught fish • Why extra-virgin olive oil acts like a natural anti-inflammatory compound • How berries, pomegranates, and tart cherries help switch off inflammatory genes • Why cruciferous vegetables support detoxification and cellular repair • How fermented foods help restore the gut microbiome • The best nuts and seeds for reducing inflammation • How herbs and spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and rosemary work together to enhance healing • Dr. Axe's blueprint for creating anti-inflammatory meals Get Dr. Axe's FREE Anti-Inflammatory Food Guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l14-wCcdPfx3oU3qgjlC7sLmVJcs24NO/view?usp=sharing Uncover what's really happening inside your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, inflammation, thyroid function, and metabolism—plus a one-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor. → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

When Clint Phillips’ young daughter suffered a stroke that left the right side of her body paralyzed, his family was told she might never walk or talk. The search for answers led him to build companies focused on medical second opinions, advanced longevity testing, AI-driven personalization and safer access to emerging therapies. In this episode, Clint sits down with Dr. Josh Axe to discuss how to identify the doctors and health metrics that truly matter, why too much tracking can sometimes make people less healthy, and what his laboratory testing revealed about the purity of popular peptides. They also explore the measurable effects of hope, purpose, gratitude, forgiveness and spiritual grounding—and why optimizing every number on your health dashboard may still leave something essential missing.

Millions of people are looking into their phone cameras and wondering why their face suddenly appears puffier, rounder, or more tired. The internet calls it “cortisol face,” but the truth is more complicated: cortisol itself is essential for survival, and the real danger may be a stress rhythm that never properly switches off. In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe explains how poor sleep, blood-sugar instability, fluid retention, chronic inflammation, emotional overload, and disrupted hormone signaling can all change what you see in the mirror—and why creams and cosmetic treatments may never address the underlying cause. Learn the practical correction protocol designed to help restore your natural hormone rhythm, reduce the visible signs of stress, and address the problem beneath the surface.

What if your child’s anxiety, ADHD, sensory issues, gut problems, sleep struggles, or chronic illness weren’t just genetic — and weren’t only caused by toxins? In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel reveals the hidden “sympathetic stress loop” he believes keeps many children stuck in survival mode, unable to fully heal even after diet changes, supplements, detoxes, and conventional treatment. Dr. Ebel also shares the shocking personal story of his son Oliver, who doctors said had only a 20% chance of surviving to age one and a 99% chance of epilepsy, autism, or cerebral palsy if he lived. What he did next became the foundation for the protocol he now uses to help children around the world.

For decades, Americans were told to replace butter with seed oils. Then the internet swung the other direction and declared seed oils a “mitochondrial toxin.” But what if both sides are missing the real problem? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the seed oil debate using the studies on both sides — including data showing higher linoleic acid intake was associated with 15% lower cardiovascular deaths and 21% lower heart disease, while other trials suggest replacing saturated fat with omega-6-rich oils may increase cardiovascular risk.

What if you could naturally make your own version of Ozempic every time you eat the right meal? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the exact foods, supplements, probiotics, and meal timing strategies that help your gut activate GLP-1, the hormone that tells your brain you’re full, steadies blood sugar, and shuts down cravings. Millions of people are spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month on GLP-1 drugs, but Dr. Axe says the real “Nature’s Ozempic” starts in your grocery store — with protein, fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and berberine.

Many people are doing all the "right" things—eating healthy, taking supplements, exercising, and prioritizing sleep—yet still struggle with chronic fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, skin problems, and unexplained symptoms. What if the real culprit is a hidden infection? In this episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Dr. Chris Motley to uncover how chronic infections can quietly impact nearly every system in the body. Together, they explore the connection between mold toxicity, Lyme disease, parasites, Candida overgrowth, H. pylori, viruses, and other hidden pathogens—and how these infections may be contributing to symptoms that conventional testing often overlooks. You'll learn how infections affect the brain, gut, thyroid, immune system, hormones, and metabolism, along with practical natural strategies to support healing.

If you've been searching for answers to persistent symptoms and want to better understand the hidden factors that may be impacting your health, this conversation is packed with valuable insights and actionable takeaways.

You have been told that weight gain, crippling anxiety, and hot flashes are just a "normal" part of getting older. But what if your menopausal symptoms are actually a warning sign that your gut and liver are failing to detoxify your body? And what if the unresolved trauma from your childhood is physically aging your ovaries right now? In this episode, nurse practitioner and bestselling author Cynthia Thurlow exposes the clinical realities of perimenopause and menopause. We break down the "Estrobolome"—the hidden collection of gut bacteria responsible for removing estrogen from your body—and explain why common constipation is causing toxic hormones to recirculate and drive estrogen dominance. Cynthia also reveals why millions of women are prescribed synthetic thyroid medications (like Synthroid) that their bodies literally cannot use, and outlines the exact nutritional and supplemental protocols (including Creatine, Magnesium, and Myo-inositol) required to truly repair your endocrine system.

You have been told your chronic fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are just "stress" or IBS. But what if a Harvard medical discovery proved that a single biological switch in your stomach is actually the root cause of every symptom you are experiencing? Your gut lining is only one cell thick, and right now, it might be tearing apart. Uncover the exact biological mechanism behind "Leaky Gut" (intestinal permeability) and why it is the true driver behind autoimmune diseases, thyroid failures, and even neurological conditions like autism and anxiety. We explore the 2000 Harvard discovery of Zonulin—the protein switch that opens your gut junctions—and the exact environmental triggers forcing it open. I break down the terrifying truth about how chronic stress alters your gut bacteria in just two hours, and how daily exposure to Glyphosate (Roundup) is starving your beneficial microbes. Finally, I reveal my exact 6-step clinical protocol to permanently seal your gut lining, including the specific amino acids (L-Glutamine), minerals (Zinc Carnosine), and soil-based probiotics required for total cellular repair. Find out what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com My FREE "Leaky Gut" Protocol PDF: https://bit.ly/draxehealingleakygut Thank you to our sponsors!

In 2008, Jordan Rubin was the CEO of one of the largest natural health companies in the world when he was diagnosed with a fast-growing, metastatic cancer and given just 90 days to live. Instead of accepting a death sentence, he fired his oncologist, locked himself away for 40 days, and developed one of the most comprehensive spiritual and physical healing protocols ever documented. In this episode, we dive into the untold secrets of ancient medicine. We explore why unhealed emotional trauma and unforgiveness act as severe cellular toxins, and why repenting is just as crucial as detoxing your liver. We also decode the forgotten science of "healing leaves"—explaining how the specific tannins found in blackberry, raspberry, and oak leaves can physically tighten leaky gut and reverse chronic digestive disease.

You don’t need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on exotic injections to heal your body. You already possess the ultimate, built-in repair system: your own stem cells. The problem? By the time you reach your mid-30s, the red marrow in your bones converts to fatty marrow, leading to a staggering 90% drop in circulating stem cells. In this episode, stem cell scientist Christian Drapeau reveals the exact mechanisms behind human aging and how disease is simply a failure of endogenous repair. We discuss the clinical data proving that a 3-day fast triggers massive stem cell proliferation. We also decode 3,000-year-old Chinese medicine secrets, revealing the specific plants—like Fo-Ti, Goji Berry, Sea Buckthorn, and Blue-Green Algae—that actively mobilize stem cells from your bone marrow and drive them directly into injured tissues.
