GREATEST HITS: How to Unravel Anxiety | Dr. Don Worcester | Ep. 43

Anxiety is at an all-time high, but what if a lot of what you’re feeling is actually a false alarm instead of a life sentence? In this greatest hits conversation, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with his longtime friend and counselor, Dr. Don Worcester, to unpack why anxiety is so rampant, how our imaginations fuel it, and what it really takes to step off the loop and onto a bigger track.
Together, they dig into the difference between feeling and function, why pain is often the last thing to show and the first thing to go, and why waiting for symptoms before you act is like waiting for a root canal before you see the dentist. Dr. Don explains anxiety as something we experience in the absence of love, using powerful illustrations: darkness as the absence of light, cold as the absence of heat, and anxiety as the “virtual reality headset” your brain forgets it’s wearing.

Home Birth vs. Hospital: What the Data (and Your Body) Say | Elizabeth Davis CPM | Ep. 41

Do we really need 15 people, an IV, and a timer to welcome a baby—or have we drifted from what the body was built to do?
Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with veteran midwife, educator, and author Elizabeth Davis (40+ years in birth work) to unpack when home birth is safer, how midwives screen risk, and why birth hormones (oxytocin, beta-endorphins, noradrenaline) matter for bonding, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. They compare intervention-heavy hospital norms (inductions, Pitocin, epidurals, C-sections) with midwifery care that screens out high-risk moms, monitors vitals continuously, transports when needed, and stays with families after the birth. You’ll hear practical “do this next” steps for pregnancy and the first 10–12 days postpartum.
What They Cover:
Why 70% of pregnancies may be lower-risk—and what that means for place of birth
How midwives screen out risk (history, labs, vitals, ongoing assessments)
Birth hormones 101: how interventions can short-circuit bonding & bleeding control
Induction & Pitocin: when it’s used vs. when “watchful patience” wins
C-section rates: why the default matters for lifelong mom & baby health
Safety net: when and how midwives do transport—and the emergency skills they carry
Postpartum reality: daily home visits, breastfeeding support, and preventing crash-and-burn
Guest Bio:
Renowned expert Elizabeth Davis has been a midwife, holistic health care specialist, educator, and political consultant for over 40 years. She is internationally active in promoting physiologic birth and is widely sought after for her expertise in midwifery education and organizational development. She holds a degree in Holistic Maternity Care, is a certified professional midwife (CPM) in good standing, and is co-founder of the MEAC-accredited National Midwifery Institute, Inc.
Her journey began in the late 1970’s, when direct-entry midwifery was illegal in most the United States. Having personally experienced the contrast between a violent, abusive hospital birth and an ecstatic, glorious home birth, she felt called to do something to help create the organizational and political infrastructure to make birth at home widely available in the US.
To this end, she was a founding member of:
The Midwives Alliance of North America (open to midwives of all educational backgrounds), whom she served as Pacific Regional Representative and Education Committee Chair for five years. The North American Registry of Midwives NARM (administers the direct-entry credential of Certified Professional Midwife), for whom she called the initial meeting to develop the certification process, gathering midwife representatives from 40 states. The Midwifery Education Accreditation Council MEAC (accrediting body for direct-entry midwifery programs), whom she served as President for one term and for four years on the Board of Directors.

Diabetes & Metabolic Reset with RN Yvette Oxford | Ep. 40

It’s time to wake up and unplug from the confusion around diabetes and “managing” symptoms. Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with registered nurse and metabolic health educator Yvette Oxford to expose what’s happening behind the curtain of diabetes care—and to share a simple, common-sense path to reverse course. From insulin resistance to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk, Yvette explains how food choices, fasting windows, muscle training, and targeted nutraceuticals can flip your body back to fat-fuel, quiet cravings, and restore metabolic health. Health is simpler than you think—here’s how to start.
What we cover
Why type 1 and type 2 are different diseases requiring different approaches
The business of “eat, inject, repeat” vs. real reversal
Insulin as a fat-storage signal (and how to turn it down)
The 4 keystones: prioritize protein, don’t fear healthy fats, time-restrict eating, and therapeutically reduce carbs
Why many adults do best around ≤20g net carbs/day during a reset
Metformin, GLP-1s, and what lifestyle can replace or reduce
Metabolic links to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, hypertension, and “type 3” (Alzheimer’s) risk
A practical metabolic reset you can begin this week
Hope stories: A1c down, triglycerides down, HDL up, waistlines down
 
Guest Bio:
Yvette Oxford is a registered nurse and metabolic health educator with a rare 360° view of the system—spanning elite sports massage, hospital bedside care, ER/trauma, diabetes device training, and pharmaceutical sales. After years inside traditional pathways, she returned to wellness education to help people reverse the patterns driving type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. Yvette specializes in insulin resistance, therapeutic carb reduction, fasting strategies, and evidence-informed nutraceutical support. She coaches clients on reading labs, building muscle-centric nutrition, and asking the right seven questions at the doctor’s office—so patients stop outsourcing their health and start taking it back.

Dr. Kevin sits down with fertility specialist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Mandy Patterson to unpack simple, science-backed steps that restore health, rebalance hormones, and improve the body’s readiness for pregnancy—while protecting long-term health for mom and baby

A better first question: What’s this doing to my body long-term?
Mandy’s story: severe preeclampsia, a micro-preemie, and the journey to five healthy pregnancies

Easy swaps that matter (ditch soda → add quality electrolytes, protein-forward meals)
PCOS basics: low progesterone, anovulation, and where bioidentical progesterone can help (with clinical supervision)
Pelvic mechanics: why chiropractic/myofascial work and adhesion therapy can unlock fertility
Labs with purpose: how standard bloodwork + advanced testing (stool, HTMA, food sensitivity, genetics) guide targeted protocols
Timelines & hope: many women can meaningfully turn things around in 3–4 months

Misunderstood Causes of Your Anxiety, Depression, and Memory Loss | Dr. Wall | Ep. 38

Dr. Wall wraps our mental health series with a provocative question: could mold exposure and parasites be fueling anxiety, depression, brain fog, even memory issues? Dr. Wall connects the dots between mycotoxins, immune inflammation, neurotransmitter disruption, nutrient theft, and practical next steps to reclaim clarity.
Key Takeaways
Vitamin G recap: Gratitude and depression/anxiety can’t coexist—make gratitude a daily “dose.”
Your mess = your stress: Clutter and disorganization raise stress hormones, disrupt sleep, and worsen mental health.
Mold 101: Prolonged exposure → immune activation + inflammation, mycotoxins that disrupt neurotransmitters, worsened allergies/asthma → lower oxygenation and higher anxiety.
Parasites & mood: Direct neuro-invasion, chronic immune activation, nutrient theft (B-vitamins, omega-3s), and even behavior manipulation can present like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and memory issues.
What to do:
Identify and remediate sources of moisture/mold (consider professional testing; in stubborn cases, relocation may be necessary).
Kill & clear: Structured parasite protocols; then binders/detox support.
Rebuild brain nutrition: Omega-3s, B-complex, magnesium, zinc, iron (as indicated), vitamin D + sunlight exposure (see prior “light” episode).
Keep it simple: food, water, sunlight, order—then targeted support.

Parasite support: CellCore Para 1 & Para 2.

Your Mess is Causing Your Stress!! | Dena Wall | Ep. 37

Clutter isn’t just annoying—it quietly elevates stress chemistry, disrupts sleep, and bleeds time, money, and joy. Dr. Kevin Wall welcomes professional organizer Dena Wall (yes, his better half) to break down how disorganization fuels anxiety and what simple, repeatable systems restore clarity, calm, and health.
They discuss: 
Clutter → cortisol: visual mess fuels low-grade fight/flight, anxiety, inflammation, and poor sleep.
Outer space mirrors inner state: changing your environment helps change your mindset and follow-through.
Disorganization is expensive: duplicates, missed bills, and constant re-buys add up fast.
Relationships suffer: embarrassment, lateness, and constant chaos push people away.
Dena’s Core Systems (5)
Night-before plan: time-boxed schedule with A (must) and B (nice) tasks.
Weekly meals posted: visible board ends “what’s for dinner?” and takeout creep.
Chore cadence: same jobs on the same days = less decision fatigue.
Mail triage station: trash • read-later • to-do/pay (process only when you can act).
“Put the house to bed”: 5–10 minute nightly reset (sinks/counters clear, quick tidy).
Guest Bio:
Dena Wall is a professional organizer and systems strategist with 20+ years of experience helping families, small businesses, and healthcare clinics create calm, efficient spaces that support healthier lives. She’s been integral to keeping AFC Physical Medicine operations streamlined, and she coaches clients to build simple, sustainable routines—from nightly “house to bed” resets to mail triage that ends late fees. Dena holds degrees in Public Relations and Business, is a published author (with a new book releasing soon), and believes organization is a practical pathway to lower stress, better relationships, and greater purpose. When she’s not labeling a pantry that would make Pinterest proud, she’s serving her community, meal-planning, and making order feel doable (and even fun).

Are You Drowning in Your Choices for Water? | Dr. Jennifer Bush | Ep. 35

Health isn’t complicated, but water sure feels like it these days. Dr. Wall and Dr. Jennifer Bush unpack why hydration is foundational for energy, brain function, joint health, and digestion, then cut through the noise on tap, filtered, spring, alkaline, distilled, and hydrogen water. Dr. Bush shares how upgrading her family’s water made a dramatic difference for her medically complex son, and Kevin lays out a simple, budget-aware ladder from “dirtiest to cleanest” so you can choose wisely at home.
They cover:
Why most people are more dehydrated than they think (and how your body “prioritizes” water)
Hydration & performance: joints, discs, ligaments, and cerebrospinal fluid
Fluids ≠ water, Gatorade, diet soda, and caffeine as diuretics
Electrolytes & salts: when a pinch helps—and what kind of salt to use
Tap, fridge filters, RO, alkaline, spring, distilled, hydrogen—what’s actually worth it
Whole-home filtration: showers, laundry, and skin exposure
A simple ranking: Purified → Spring/Alkaline → Distilled (+electrolytes) → Hydrogen

Cows, Colonoscopies, & Constipation | Dr. Kevin Wall | Ep. 34

Ever seen a cow get a colonoscopy? Neither have we, and there’s a reason for that. In this episode, Dr. Wall takes you back to his farm roots to uncover what cows can teach us about digestion, elimination, and why our modern definition of “normal” bathroom habits is way off track.
Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s tied to leaky gut, malnutrition, autoimmune issues, and even chronic disease. Dr. Wall unpacks why colonoscopies and laxatives aren’t the solution, why bowel dysfunction is so widespread, and what you can do to restore proper elimination naturally.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why farm animals never struggle with constipation (and what that means for us)
The dangers of overusing colonoscopies and laxatives
How constipation links to leaky gut, autoimmune conditions, and malnutrition
Top 5 natural solutions for healthy elimination
Why prevention is always better than procedures
