Myers Detox Podcast

Some of the “normal” things we do to unwind are quietly wrecking our bodies, and alcohol might be at the top of that list. You might not realize how much the occasional glass of wine is disrupting your hormones, wrecking your sleep, and sabotaging your detox efforts until you take a closer look at the research. And once you hear what it’s doing to your thyroid, testosterone, liver, and brain chemistry, it’s hard to ignore. That’s why I asked Dr. Erika Schwartz—a pioneer in hormone health and founder of Evolved Science—to come break it all down. In this episode, Dr. Erika explains how alcohol impacts every single hormone in your body, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and even your sleep-regulating neurochemicals. She talks about how alcohol contributes to hypothyroidism, depletes your zinc and B vitamins, and accelerates aging, and why hormone replacement therapy could be life-changing (especially if you’ve hit your 40s and can’t sleep). And we talk solutions. Like how to replace alcohol as your stress reliever, how to balance hormones safely, and what you can do right now to feel better.   “The earlier you start changing your diet, cutting back on alcohol, balancing your hormones, exercising, and sleeping regularly, the more likely you are to enjoy your life.” ~ Dr. Erika Schwartz   In This Episode - Dr. Erika’s backstory - What alcohol does to your hormones - The hormones that are most affected by alcohol - How the body metabolizes alcohol - Liver health and alcohol - Testing for liver cirrhosis and hormone imbalances - Debunking the “one glass of wine is healthy” myth - Alcohol’s negative impact on sleep quality and insulin regulation - GABA, dopamine, and why alcohol feels relaxing - Alternative ways to relax without alcohol - Progesterone and alcohol cravings (and how to fix it) - Other health issues tied to alcohol consumption   Products & Resources Mentioned Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com [https://boncharge.com]  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy [https://trytruenergy.com/wendy]  Chef’s Foundry P600 Cookware: Find it at https://bit.ly/myersdetox [https://bit.ly/myersdetox]  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com [https://heavymetalsquiz.com]    About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified MD and founder of Evolved Science, a cutting-edge longevity clinic based in New York City.

There’s a point where you realize popping pills and hoping for results just isn’t cutting it. I’ve seen patients struggle to feel better even while eating clean, taking stacks of supplements, and doing “all the right things.” But what if your body simply can’t absorb the good stuff you’re giving it? That’s where IV therapy comes in—and I brought in Sam Tejada, founder of Liquivida IV Clinics, to break it all down. Sam went from firefighter-paramedic answering 911 calls to building a wellness empire after seeing how broken the system really is.  In this episode, he shares how he’s using IV therapy, hormone optimization, detox protocols, and personalized wellness to help people feel better—fast. We talk about the exact nutrient drips that work for detox and anti-aging, what glutathione and NAD really do in your body, and how toxins mess with your genes. And we go deep on the difference between oral supplements and IV nutrients—why dosage and absorption matter way more than you think. If you’ve ever dealt with chronic fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, or just want to know what’s legit in the wellness world, this one’s for you.   “Our goal with what we do with IV vitamin therapy is basically feeding your body the raw material that it needs—what’s missing.” ~ Sam Tejada   In This Episode - Sam’s origin story - What Liquivida IV clinics offer—and how to find one - Benefits of IV therapy - Detoxifying heavy metals with glutathione and IV therapy - Oral supplements vs IVs - IV options available at Liquivida - NAD and other anti-aging and rejuvenation therapies - What to expect during IV therapy - Common myths and misconceptions about IV therapy - Why Sam wrote his book, How to Win in Modern Wellness For more, visit https://myersdetox.com [https://myersdetox.com]   Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Sometimes it’s not about what you see in the mirror—it’s about how you feel in your skin. I’ll never forget that moment when I caught my reflection and thought, “Wait, when did that happen?” That feeling of disconnection sparked something bigger: a realization that beauty isn't just skin-deep. It’s energy deep, and that’s exactly what this episode is about. Cathy Goldstein joins me to talk about the science and soul behind her revolutionary frequency-based skincare line. We go beyond creams and moisturizers, into fascia, lymph flow, emotional detox, gua sha protocols, and why most med spa treatments are doing your body zero favors in the long run. Cathy shares how trauma, toxins, and even stuck emotions can physically distort your skin and energy field. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We dive into how you can release these blocks, reawaken your skin, and reconnect with your body through simple daily rituals using frequency-activated tools and body protocols. She’s been my go-to for over 18 months now, and I swear by her body stone, frequency creams, and brain-draining lymphatic techniques. If you want to glow from the inside out, this is the one to listen to.   “Frequency-based skincare is a roadmap to cellular health, retuning and recharging our cells to perform as they should.” ~ Cathy Goldstein   In This Episode: - Cathy's personal journey into holistic medicine - The hidden issues in conventional skincare products - How frequency-based skincare changes the game: Tru Energy Skincare - Toxins in perfumes and "silicone deception" - How bioadaptive skincare responds to your skin's needs - Detoxing your skin - Protecting your skin's vital microbiome - How Cathy's gua sha-inspired Body Stone activates lymph, fascia & detox - Her recommended daily detox routine - Some client success stories - Breast health and why lymphatic flow matters - The hidden dangers of Botox, fillers, and med spa treatments - Why Botox disconnects you from others (and yourself) - Repairing skin damage from past treatments For more, visit https://myersdetox.com [https://myersdetox.com]    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Something shifts when you realize your child’s behavior isn’t a problem to fix but a clue to follow. Dana Kay knows this firsthand. Her son was diagnosed with ADHD at four, put on a string of powerful meds, and nearly lost his spark. By five, he was on three prescriptions with a fourth on the way. That’s when Dana decided enough was enough. In this episode, she shares how her journey as a desperate mom turned her into a sought-after ADHD expert. She’s helped over 1,300 families reduce ADHD symptoms naturally—without medications—and today, she’s breaking down the exact holistic strategies that worked. We talk about inflammation, food sensitivities, gut-brain connection, and what kids need to thrive. And we also reframe what ADHD actually is, because when properly supported, kids with ADHD are often the most persistent, creative, and focused individuals you’ll ever meet.   "If you adjust your perception of what is a challenge and what is a superpower, it can change the way that you actually are as well. Some kids with ADHD have amazing creativity, amazing hyperfocus, persistence." ~ Dana Kay   In This Episode: - Dana's journey from accountant to ADHD expert - What ADHD really is and the neurodivergent spectrum - Why medication shouldn't be first-line treatment - The long-term effects of ADHD medications - Reframing ADHD as a superpower, not a disorder - Why schools are failing neurodivergent kids - The role of diet in reducing inflammation and symptoms - Food sensitivities and leaky gut in ADHD kids - How to repair your child’s gut - Environmental toxins and the "trashcan" analogy - Dana's book and program for families For more, visit https://myersdetox.com [https://myersdetox.com]    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.

Some stories are just hard to tell without breaking down. For many women, divorce isn’t just an event. It’s a reckoning, a forced pause, a mirror held up to every belief we’ve ever had about love, safety, our bodies, and our worth. And when we don’t process that pain? It stays. It festers. It shows up in our hormones, our skin, our weight, and our autoimmune flares. It gets louder until we finally listen. That’s why I brought on Maura Eliza—traditional naturopath and founder of The Vibrant Way—to talk about the overlooked connection between emotional trauma, divorce, and the physical symptoms that follow. Maura’s work is rooted in German New Medicine and bioenergetics, and she’s developed a method to help women release subconscious trauma (the stuff that never surfaces in talk therapy) and actually rewire how the body processes heartbreak and loss. In this episode, we unpack how the body stores trauma from unexpected experiences (like betrayal or custody battles), why women often feel physical symptoms years after leaving toxic or unaligned relationships, and how to break the cycles that keep you attracting the same kinds of partners. We also talk about nervous system healing, reclaiming your feminine energy, and how to find peace and even joy while being single.   “Everything the body does is functional. There’s a biological purpose to all of it. Our bodies are so much smarter than we are.” ~ Maura Eliza   In This Episode: - Maura’s background - How divorce impacts women's health - Patterns, partners & personal accountability - Past trauma affects partner selection - Parasitic energy and learning to flip the script on shame - Why women are initiating 70% of divorces - Masculine/feminine dynamics - Tools to shift your frequency and start healing quickly - Why being happy single is necessary before dating again - Common physical symptoms linked to relationship trauma - German New Medicine foundations - Healing ancestral trauma and breaking patterns - Rebuilding after relationship breakdown For more information, visit https://www.myersdetox.com [https://www.myersdetox.com]    Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification.
