Severe Psoriasis and Aluminum Overload — Kelly’s Mystery Finally Solved

Severe Psoriasis and Aluminum Overload — Kelly’s Mystery Finally Solved

Kelly’s struggle with severe skin sensitivities started when she was young, beginning with reactions to aluminum deodorants and eventually progressing into debilitating eczema on her hands. The condition became so severe that she wore white gloves daily because the skin on her hands would crack and bleed through the fabric. In this episode of The Deeper Healing Podcast, Danielle Howley and Dr. Bauerschmidt discuss Kelly’s personal recovery experience and the possible root causes uncovered during her evaluation. The conversation explores Kelly’s childhood exposure living near an aluminum factory and how environmental medicine practitioners think about long-term toxic burden in the body. Dr. Bauerschmidt explains the theory that aluminum can remain stored in the bones for decades, gradually re-releasing into the body over time. The episode also explores the functional medicine concept of “finding the arsonist instead of just putting out the fire” — looking for possible contributors to chronic immune dysfunction instead of focusing solely on symptom suppression. Kelly shares her personal experience of significant improvement after addressing her unique body burden of metals, molds, and chemicals. Her experience is one person’s story, shared to offer information and perspective — not as a representation of typical results or medical advice. About the Guest Kelly struggled with severe skin sensitivities since childhood, which eventually progressed into debilitating eczema on her hands. Her condition became so severe that she wore white gloves daily because the skin barrier on her hands would crack and bleed. After being told her condition was incurable by conventional standards and facing the possibility of lifelong immunosuppressants, Kelly pursued a functional medicine approach at Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center. During her evaluation, the team explored possible environmental contributors to her symptoms, including childhood exposure near an aluminum factory. Her protocol focused on addressing her unique body burden of metals, molds, and chemicals. Today, Kelly reports significant improvement and says her severe hand eczema has resolved. Her experience is shared as one person’s story and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of outcomes for others. Disclosure: Kelly was a patient of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and is sharing her personal experience. No compensation was provided in exchange for sharing this story.

From Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis to Back on the Job Site: Tim's Story

At 58 years old, Tim Turner couldn't turn the key in his own car. A healthy, active home builder just weeks earlier, Tim was suddenly unable to walk normally, lift his arms, or perform basic daily tasks. Within weeks, he was diagnosed with severe rheumatoid arthritis and told he would likely need lifelong steroids and immunosuppressive medication. In this episode, Danielle Howley and Tiffany Jackson, ND, talk with Tim about his functional medicine evaluation and protocol, including thyroid support, UVB ozone, and LDA therapy. They also discuss root causes, like his decades of chemical exposure in the auto body trade. More than five years later, Tim is symptom-free, medication-free, and back to building homes with a new focus on mold-conscious construction. His experience is one person's story, shared to offer information and perspective — not as a representation of typical results or medical advice. - - - - - About the Host Danielle Howley is the co-founder of the Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and host of The Deeper Healing Podcast. She didn't come from medicine — she came from desperation. When her husband Marty became gravely ill at 37 and spent a decade bedridden while doctors ran out of answers, Danielle refused to stop searching. That search led to a recovery his doctors had not expected — and it changed everything. She went on to co-found Deeper Healing in 2019, recruiting clinicians in environmental and integrative medicine to build the center she wished had existed when Marty was sick. Today, the Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center draws patients from around the world. Tiffany Jackson, ND, joins as a guest co-host, helping guide conversations that explore the root causes of chronic illness. She brings clinical perspective, a listener's curiosity, and a passion for making complex health information accessible.

110 ICU Admissions to Rebuilding Her Life: Meghan's Story With Stiff Person Syndrome and CRPS

Meghan was 16 — an athlete, a high-achiever, a healthy teenager — when her body began doing things no one could explain. Sudden symptoms rapidly escalated into a 32-hour seizure, a ten-day coma, and the temporary loss of her mind and mobility. Over twelve years, Meghan faced more than 110 ICU admissions, relied on a feeding tube and wheelchair, and exhausted the country's top medical institutions before running out of options. Along the way, she was diagnosed with rare conditions including Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). In this episode, Meghan shares—in her own words—what those twelve years were really like. Danielle Howley and guest host Tiffany Jackson, ND, sit down with Meghan and her mother Cindy to discuss their long road of advocacy, turning to functional medicine, and Meghan’s step-by-step process of rebuilding her life. This isn't a story of a tidy resolution, but one of endurance and what became possible after a decade of searching. Meghan's experience is described by her care team as one of extreme severity — it is not a representation of typical results, and it is not medical advice. - - - - - Meghan spent more than a decade navigating severe neurological and immune illness, including diagnoses of Stiff Person Syndrome and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, more than 110 ICU admissions, and a long period of profound debilitation that began suddenly when she was sixteen. Today, she shares her story in her own words, reporting she is mobile, cognitively clear, and rebuilding her life. Her experience is described by her care team as one of extreme severity and is not representative of typical outcomes. Cindy is Meghan's mother and was her primary medical advocate throughout her illness—including when Meghan was a minor and Cindy made all medical decisions on her behalf. Her story reflects the emotional and logistical reality of navigating complex chronic illness as a parent: the hospitalizations, diagnoses, and the persistence needed to keep searching when conventional pathways fall short. Disclosure: Meghan and Cindy are former patient and family of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and are sharing their personal experience. No compensation was provided in exchange for sharing this story. Meghan's mother Cindy made all medical decisions during the period Meghan was a minor; Meghan is now an adult and shares her own story in her own words.  - - - - - About the Host Danielle Howley is the co-founder of the Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and host of The Deeper Healing Podcast.

Nick Pineault — On Body Burden and What the World Is Asking Us to Carry

What if the brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and overwhelm many people are experiencing today aren't random — but signals that the body is carrying more than it was meant to hold? In this episode of The Deeper Healing Podcast, Danielle Howley sits down with environmental health expert Nick Pineault — known as The EMF Guy — for a conversation that is substantive and quietly hopeful. Nick has spent more than a decade investigating how modern environmental exposures — EMFs, heavy metals, mold, plastics, PFAS, contaminated water and more — accumulate in the human body. He calls this accumulation the body burden, and his work explores how it may be quietly influencing symptoms millions now consider "normal." In this conversation, Nick also shares something deeply personal: his own discovery, after years of living what he believed was an optimized health-conscious lifestyle, that his body was carrying significant toxic load. That moment, he says, changed everything about how I understand health. This is not a conversation built on fear or overwhelm. It is a conversation built on the idea that the body is always working for us — always trying to find balance, always trying to release what no longer serves it. Sometimes the first step is simply understanding what it's been asked to carry. - - - - - About the Host: Danielle Howley is co-founder of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and host of The Deeper Healing Podcast.

Stark: I Got My Brain Back

Stark Shapleigh was the guy everyone counted on. A logistics consultant moving aircraft, ships, and freight across the globe — sharp, decisive, dependable. Until he wasn't. The brain fog crept in slowly. Then the anxiety. Then the dawning fear that he was losing himself. He tried supplements. Specialists. Quick fixes. Nothing held. In this episode, Stark sits down with Danielle Howley to talk about what it's like to lose your mind a little at a time — and what it took to get it back. They get into: ● Why high performers ignore the warning signs until the wheels come off ● What "root cause" actually means when you've already tried everything ● The hidden drivers behind brain fog that conventional medicine misses ● How Stark went from barely functioning to feeling like himself again If you've been pushing through, telling yourself it's just stress or age or the season of life — this one's for you. - - - - - About the Host: Danielle Howley is the co-founder of the Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and host of The Deeper Healing Podcast.
