    Sleep First: The Powerful Link Between Sleep, Stress and Resilience | Dr Jemma King

    27/10/2026 | 43 mins.
    What if better sleep could change the way you think, feel and respond to stress?
    In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich sits down with Dr Jemma King, a human behaviour researcher and expert in stress, sleep and performance, to explore why sleep deserves a central place in our approach to health.
    Drawing on her research with high-performance populations, including military personnel and Olympic athletes, Dr King discusses the relationship between sleep and emotional wellbeing, why sleep consistency matters, and how modern technology can interfere with rest and recovery.
    The conversation also explores the science behind the Wim Hof Method, including breathing techniques and cold exposure, and the potential role of controlled challenges in developing stress resilience. Dr King shares her perspective on emotional intelligence, human connection and the risks of relying too heavily on agreeable AI systems.
    Whether you are balancing work, family or demanding responsibilities, this episode offers practical ideas for rethinking sleep and building healthier daily habits.
    ๐ŸŽง Listen now and discover why putting sleep first may be one of the most valuable changes you can make.

  • Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich

    From Fenbendazole to Vitamin D: Cancer, Parasites & The Sunlight Solution with Dr. William Supple Jr.

    06/10/2026 | 1h 23 mins.
    What if some of our assumptions about cancer, sunlight and chronic disease deserve a closer look?
    In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich welcomes back neuroscientist and author Dr William Supple Jr. for a wide-ranging conversation about his controversial theory that cancer shares important biological characteristics with parasites.
    They discuss fenbendazole and other antiparasitic drugs, microtubules, cancer research models, transmissible cancers, inflammation and the emerging questions around cancer biology.
    The conversation then moves into Dr Supple’s second book, The Sunlight Solution, and his perspective on vitamin D, sunlight, chronic disease, cardiovascular health, autoimmune conditions, brain development and ageing.
    This episode presents Dr Supple’s views and hypotheses for discussion and exploration, not as a substitute for personalised medical advice.
    Listen, think critically, and explore the evidence for yourself.

  • Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich

    Understand Your True Identity: Breaking Free From Negative Self-Talk | Dr Jeremy Thompson

    22/09/2026 | 51 mins.
    Who is the real you beneath the negative thoughts, labels, habits and experiences you've picked up throughout life?
    In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with Sydney GP and author Dr Jeremy Thompson about identity, negative self-talk, emotional stress and the idea of the “mixed bag” - where our natural strengths become tangled with negative beliefs and behaviours.
    Jeremy explains his positive-centred approach and why understanding our genuine strengths can help us build greater resilience, healthier relationships and a more settled sense of self.
    They explore childhood experiences, hypnosis, communication, relationships, social media and the importance of learning to recognise the positive core within ourselves and others.

  • Unstress with Dr Ron Ehrlich

    Can Infections Cause Depression, Anxiety & Brain Fog? | Dr Marty Ross

    25/08/2026 | 57 mins.
    In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich and Dr Marty Ross explore a different way of thinking about mental health.
    Rather than looking only at psychiatric symptoms, they discuss how chronic infections, inflammation, mold toxicity, gut microbiome disruption and metabolic dysfunction may intersect with conditions such as depression and anxiety.
    Dr Ross shares observations from his clinical experience treating people with chronic Lyme disease and related conditions, including the possible role of neuroinflammation, cytokines, the blood-brain barrier, tryptophan, serotonin, mitochondria and the limbic system.
    They also discuss Long COVID, tick-borne infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella and Babesia, challenges around testing in Australia, and why listening carefully to a patient's history can be such an important part of healthcare.
