ReversABLE

In this thought-provoking episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech sits down with Dr. John Demartini to explore the connection between personal values, chronic stress, nervous system regulation, and long-term health. Drawing from more than five decades of teaching and research, Dr. Demartini explains why many people remain exhausted, overwhelmed, and chronically inflamed despite doing "all the right things" for their health.
The discussion explores his framework of the seven areas of life mastery, why living according to your highest values can dramatically change your physiology, and how prioritization may influence everything from energy levels to emotional resilience. The conversation also dives into neuroscience, the role of the prefrontal cortex, decision-making, delegation, and why constantly operating from obligation rather than inspiration may contribute to ongoing stress.
Josh brings the discussion back to the world of functional medicine and root-cause healing, connecting these concepts to the everyday struggles faced by people dealing with digestive disorders, autoimmune disease, fatigue, and persistent inflammation. Together they challenge conventional thinking around productivity, burnout, and success while offering practical strategies for building a life that supports both physical and emotional well-being.
Whether you're searching for answers to chronic gut issues, trying to reduce inflammation naturally, or simply looking for a more sustainable approach to health and performance, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on how mindset, purpose, and daily priorities may influence the body's ability to heal.

There's a 200+ year old pattern that doctors have been stuck in and that same pattern is what keeps you stuck on medication. If you can break this pattern, you'll be able to find the root cause of your gut issues, reverse it and may even come off medication.
Without it, you'll be stuck in the cycle forever. One of my favourite things to do is use history to teach about your health. And in this episode, you're going to learn about the discovery of handwashing and germs, and how this story explains why you're still stuck on medication today.

Josh and Dr. Jason Shumard unpack why many people continue to develop complications despite improving their diet, exercising regularly, and taking medications exactly as prescribed.
The conversation dives deep into the biology of insulin resistance, cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation, toxic burden, and how environmental exposures such as mold, heavy metals, pesticides, plastics, and processed foods may interfere with the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar. Dr. Schumard explains why functional testing—including comprehensive blood analysis and toxin screening—can uncover hidden root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks.
Josh and Dr. Schumard also discuss the powerful connection between gut health, the microbiome, immune function, detoxification pathways, and chronic disease. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, they explain how supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms may help restore metabolic function and improve long-term health.
Throughout the episode, they challenge common assumptions about genetics, medications, and the standard approach to Type 2 diabetes while emphasizing that lifestyle remains essential—but often isn't the entire answer.
Whether you're living with diabetes, struggling with chronic inflammation, experiencing unexplained fatigue, or simply looking to better understand the root cause approach to healing, this conversation offers an insightful look at how functional medicine views the body's remarkable ability to repair itself when underlying obstacles are identified and addressed.

Hemorrhoids are one of the most common problems facing American butts, affecting as much as 1 in 20 adults. Your doctor says to apply some hemorrhoid cream, eat more fibre, and drink more water. But none of that actually fixes the real problem as to why this is happening to you.

Kim shares her remarkable personal journey—from working in medical education and helping build healthcare colleges across the United States to facing thirteen surgeries, debilitating endometriosis, neurological symptoms, chronic inflammation, and years of unanswered medical questions. After conventional medicine failed to identify the underlying causes of her illness, she began investigating environmental toxins, mold exposure, Lyme disease, the microbiome, and parasites, ultimately transforming both her health and her career.
Together, Josh and Kim discuss the limitations of symptom-based medicine, why root-cause investigation matters, and how chronic inflammation often results from multiple overlapping stressors rather than a single diagnosis. They examine the importance of gut health, immune system function, environmental exposures, microbiome balance, and the growing conversation surrounding parasite testing and herbal protocols.
Whether you're dealing with digestive issues, autoimmune disease, persistent inflammation, chronic fatigue, or simply want a broader perspective on functional medicine and root-cause healing, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion that encourages listeners to ask deeper questions about their health.
