Conventional Medicine Failed Me and It Is My Mission to Not Have It Fail You Too℠
Are you tired of being dismissed by your doctor, told it's all in your head, or that your fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and mood swings are just a normal part of aging?
Perhaps you've been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, a thyroid condition such as Hashimoto's or Graves' disease, leaky gut, Candida overgrowth, SIBO, parasites, toxic mold exposure, or Lyme disease — and your doctor still cannot get to the root cause.
You are not alone, and you are in the right place.
Dr. Amy Myers, MD is a former ER physician, functional medicine pioneer, and living proof that another way is possible. In her second year of medical school she was diagnosed with Graves' disease, placed on suppressive medication, and ultimately had her thyroid ablated with radioactive iodine I-131 — experiencing firsthand exactly what conventional medicine gets wrong. That loss became her life's mission.
Dr. Myers has since helped millions worldwide reverse their chronic health conditions through her two New York Times bestselling books The Autoimmune Solution™ and The Thyroid Connection™, her proven protocol The Myers Way®, and her physician-formulated supplements line AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD®.
Each week, Dr. Myers brings you solo episodes and candid deep-dives with the world's leading experts in functional medicine — translating cutting-edge science into tools you can use.
This podcast will give you the knowledge and tools you need to Take Back Your Health®.

Season 2 is here and I am starting it with the episode I have needed to record for a long time.The last few years have been the hardest of my life. My sister died of triple negative breast cancer at 31, I faced my own cancer scares, I went through toxic mold exposure and PTSD, and somewhere in the middle of all of it, I found my way back to faith.In this solo episode, I walk you through all of it honestly: the mammogram callback that started a two-year testing spiral, why I stopped circulating tumor cell screening, what EMDR did for my nervous system that nothing else could, and how Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and clarigenic medicine gave me back a relationship with something greater than myself.I also talk about my daughter Elle and the bullying that quietly dismantled her confidence, and the school change that gave her back to me in less than a week.And I share what is coming: a revised The Autoimmune Solution™ with new sections on trauma, COVID, and long COVID; a new website; and the Dr. Myers Inner Circle.I have missed you.

For many, navigating a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. While mainstream treatments like chemotherapy remain foundational, emerging scientific research offers exciting new ways to support overall health and wellness during treatment. This week, I'm joined by Ian Mitchell, a research scientist and pharmaceutical consultant. We explore groundbreaking insights into Carbon 60 (C60), a compound with unique properties, and how it may complement lifestyle strategies like ketosis for those looking to support their health during cancer treatment.In this episode, you'll discover:What Is Carbon 60 (C60): C60 is a carbon-based molecule known for its antioxidant properties. When paired with lipids, it may interact with cellular membranes in mitochondria to reduce oxidative stress and promote energy production at the cellular level. "All of your inflammatory markers go down simultaneously while your energy levels are going up," says Mitchell. "And so you feel very robust."The Importance of Ketosis: A ketogenic diet, which emphasizes low-carbohydrate, high-fat nutrition, has been studied for its potential to support metabolic health. Mitchell shares how this dietary approach may create an environment that challenges cancer cell growth while supporting healthy DNA integrity. How C60 Fits into a Comprehensive Wellness Plan: C60’s unique properties allow it to promote healthy cell function while reducing oxidative stress. Mitchell explains how incorporating C60 into a broader health regimen, alongside a supportive diet, may help optimize cellular health and resilience.Chemotherapy Can Be Effective—to an Extent: While chemotherapy plays a crucial role in many treatment plans, Mitchell and I discuss why personalized approaches to wellness and treatment may provide better outcomes. "You have this type of cancer, but nobody is checking to see if in your very specific case, does this chemotherapy work or not?" shares Dr. Myers.07:24 Carbon 60 and Its Biological Impact15:14 Cancer Treatment Innovations27:52 Challenges in the Pharmaceutical Industry36:59 Diving into Cancer Research39:09 Exploring Metabolic Approaches to Cancer Treatment 40:27 Personal Experiences with Medical Controversies 41:43 The Role of Ketogenic Diets and Supplements in Cancer Treatments42:59 Overcoming Medical Challenges with Alternative Therapies48:02 Success Stories and Setbacks in Cancer Treatment 56:40 Preventative Measures and Long-Term Health StrategiesConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Ian Mitchell:Website: https://wizardsciences.com/Email: support@wizardsciences.comResources Mentioned: Wizard Oil

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have long been used for acute issues such as strokes and brain injuries—but can they be used for chronic conditions as well? This week, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, an internal medicine physician certified in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We sat down to discuss what makes this chamber "a wound healer from the inside out" as well as the proper protocols one should follow before even considering oxygen therapy for chronic issues.In this episode, you'll discover:The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): As soon as you step into the hyperbaric chamber, your body works to reoxygenate the cells in low-oxygen tissue.Having a Healthy Foundation Is Key "You want to get some of that foundational stuff working before you start stressing the system with oxygen," says Dr. Sherr.HBOT's Role In Cancer Treatment: Dr. Sherr uses hyperbaric oxygen therapy in conjunction with other interventions, such as vitamin C IVs and a ketogenic diet, as a way to support and sensitize people for chemotherapy and radiationWhat Methylene Blue Does: In terms of supplemental support, Dr. Sherr turns to methylene blue, which helps optimize the mitochondria, while promoting detoxification at the same timeResources:OxyHealth HyperbaricsConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Episode mentioned with Dr. Shai Efrati on HBOT: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1bwEfDrSU5RTpwOkMwYf3L?si=e96668253f504c10Connect with Dr. Sherr:Website: https://www.hyperbaricmedicalsolutions.com/integrative-hbot/scott-sherrHealth Optimization Medicine (HOMe) Practice: https://home-sf.co/OneBase Health website: https://onebasehealth.com/Methylene blue product: https://troscriptions.com/pages/team/dr-scott-sherrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsherr/

A free way to support your cancer treatment? Shifting your mindset and finding the positives in life. This week, I'm joined by Taylor Dukes, a family nurse practitioner, mother of two, and former colleague. We sat down to discuss her cancer journey—from finding out she had a brain tumor to entering remission—what she's learned in the years since her initial diagnosis, and how reframing her mindset helped her thrive.In this episode, you'll discover:Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment: When doctors found a brain tumor in Dukes' right frontal lobe, the mother of two didn't jump straight into surgery. Instead, she implemented a lot of integrative therapies such as coffee enemas, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, wearing a red light helmet, and more. "In the five months between when I got diagnosed and when I actually had surgery, we were able to shrink the brain tumor in half," says Duke." The Power of Positive Thinking: Dukes, who currently has "no evidence of disease," believes that as long as you’re breathing, there is always hope and there are always options. "No diagnosis, no test, no statistic has the ability to figure out the number of your days," says Dukes, who credits prayer and meditation for her mindset. "Your mind is powerful and what you believe is so, so powerful."Maintaining Your Health After Cancer: Two years after her diagnosis, Dukes is now in maintenance mode and focuses on getting her immune system back on track. She keeps up with regular fasting, eats a lower-carb diet, and alternates between red light therapy, ozone therapy, and sauna. “I'm starting specific therapies to target the co-infections and Lyme markers I have,” she says.Resources: Sunlighten MitoRedOxyHealth Hyperbarics Lume BoxConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Taylor Dukes:Website: https://taylordukeswellness.com/Online store:https://shop.taylordukeswellness.com/collections/all-productsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylordukeswellness/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taylordukeswellness/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@taylordukeswellness

I recorded a surprise bonus podcast episode! My daughter, Elle, interviewed me! I had so much fun recording with my little Bunny. I hope you enjoy it!

I am excited to say that I have wrapped up season 1 of my Take Back Your Health™ podcast. For the last episode of the season, I have finally recorded my first solo cast. This is not just any solo cast. This is so personal and vulnerable for me—I literally bared it all in this episode. I share what ups and downs I have been through over the last three years and, most importantly, a big health scare. I hold back tears (for the most part) as I describe almost being diagnosed with cancer and all of the very outside-the-box treatments I tried to finally get the all clear.As the season comes to a close I want to thank you all for listening and let you know how very much I appreciate all of your support. I love what I do, and if I’m being honest, so much has transpired in my personal life. I’m finding it challenging to envision a season 2. It can be tough to publish a podcast episode every week. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the effort it takes to work on my podcast, and weighing whether to keep going. So, I want to hear from you! If my podcast has helped you in any way and you would like to hear a season 2, please let me know. Regardless of what the future holds, I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this journey to Take Back Your Health™.02:54 Challenges and Personal Struggles03:15 Mold Issues and PTSD07:09 Legal Battles and Separation09:00 Health Scares and Family Support12:57 Exploring Alternative Medicine 18:07 Spiritual Journeys and Healing28:57 Reflections and Future Plans36:06 Practical Health Advice42:00 Cancer RecommendationsEpisodes , books, & resources mentioned:The Devastating Effects of Toxic Mold Exposure with Ann Shippy, MD: https://amymd.io/5The Power of EMDR therapy: Overcoming Trauma and Anxiety with Ginger Poag: https://amymd.io/6The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer (with Jenn Simmons, MD): https://amymd.io/7From Prevention to Treatment: Inside Dr. Connealy’s Integrative Cancer Solutions: https://amymd.io/cAutoimmune Diseases, Trauma, and Psychedelic Therapies with Dr. Sara Gottfried: https://amymd.io/8The Terrain Approach to Cancer: Dr. Nasha Winters on Revolutionizing Integrative Oncology: https://amymd.io/9The Cancer Revolution: A Groundbreaking Program to Reverse and Prevent Cancer by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy: https://amymd.io/aThe Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies by Dr. Nasha Winters: https://amymd.io/bPrenuvo: https://prenuvo.com/

When it comes to living a healthy, full life, you must take inventory of your daily routine—it can inform the current and future state of your health. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, a leading expert in integrative medicine, who is known for addressing the root cause of disease, including cancer. We sat down to discuss cancer prevention, early detection, and how key lifestyle changes can treat and prevent disease. In this episode, you'll discover:Why Cancer Diagnoses Are More Common Today: Since 1990, there's been an 80% increase in cancer among young people especially. Dr. Connealy attributes this to a variety of factors—pollution in the air, water, and food supply, people leading more sedentary lives, and the rise of antibiotics—that weren't as prevalent decades ago.How to Prevent Disease: In that same vein, there are steps you can take to help your body help you. It all starts with how you live your 24-hour day, says Dr. Connealy. As for what you can do to Take Back Your Health™? Address your emotional state, detoxify, go outside, exercise, boost your vitamin C intake, clock in quality sleep, eat a paleo diet, and limit daily stressors wherever possible.Early Detection Signs: While Dr. Connealy says bloodwork doesn't typically reveal a cancer diagnosis, there are markers you should be cognizant of. If your C reactive protein ("a nonspecific marker for inflammation"), for example, is over 0.5, that is something to be weary of because "inflammation is the precursor to all diseases,"Resources:PrenuvoConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Dr. Connealy:Website: https://www.connealymd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnealyMD/Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigherinconnealy/Twitter: https://x.com/drconnealymdPodcast - Cancer Conversation:https://cancercenterforhealing.com/webinar/Books - The Cancer Revolution: https://amymd.io/4

When it comes to cancer care—from the specific diet you follow to the type of treatment you subject your body to—quality intervention is key. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Nasha Winters, an integrative oncologist and cancer "thriver" (she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer at age 19), who is pioneering the future of cancer care. We sat down to discuss the root cause of the illness, the importance of doing a self-audit of your home and habits, and why there is a time and a place for conventional cancer care.In this episode, you'll discover:Cancer Goes Beyond Genetics: Cancer was originally believed to be genetic, but recent research demonstrates that it's a metabolic disease. A common denominator among cancer cells is that they all have very damaged mitochondria (known as the powerhouse of the cell), shares Dr. Winters.Why a Self-Audit Is a Non-Negotiable: An easy first step to change your terrain is knowing what you’re putting on, in, and around your body. This can be anything from skincare products and kitchen utensils to water filtration systems and air fresheners. "The more we're exposed to at a younger age, the more our nervous systems, our immune systems, and our metabolic systems are wired differently to make us more vulnerable to disease in general and cancer in particular," says Dr. Winters. Making small lifestyle changes can lead to a big, sustainable impact.Blending Two Types of Care Is Vital: Despite her lifelong mission to educate patients and practitioners on the transformative benefits of integrative medicine, Dr. Winters isn't here to villainize conventional cancer treatments. She does, however, stress the importance of marrying the two—based on your individual needs and diagnosis.Resources: AirDoctorAquaTruAquasanaConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Dr. Winters:Website: https://www.drnasha.com/Podcast - Metabolic Matters:https://www.drnasha.com/metabolic-mattersMetabolic Terrain Institute of Health (non-profit & training):https://www.mtih.org/Books: https://www.drnasha.com/books-and-educationMitovida: https://mitovida.com/

Looking inward is the first step to enhancing your overall health, from putting gluten sensitivities at bay to keeping autoimmune flare-ups dormant. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Will Cole, a leading functional medicine expert and dear friend. We sat down to discuss why some people are more sensitive to inflammatory foods and environmental toxins, the role of trauma in autoimmunity, and the importance of spending time in nature.In this episode, you'll discover:Why Every Body Is Different: Have you noticed how certain people can eat inflammatory foods or live among mold with no side effects? Turns out, this resilience comes down to genes. "The more gene variants you have makes your body slower at detoxing, slower at methylating, more prone to being sensitive to an environmental toxin, a virus or a mold, chronic stress, or trauma,"What Contributes to Inflammation: The way food is grown and processed has an effect on well-being. "We're seeing food reactions that 15 years ago we weren't having," says Dr. Cole. "And I think every few years, we're seeing people with more sensitive systems. So it's not the food's fault per se. It's what we've done to the food supply and what we've done to the human microbiome." Find the Right Diet for You: "Don't focus on all the things you 'can't have,' but you can have whatever you want," says Dr. Cole, who recommends making hearty, easy-to-digest stews and soups if you're looking for soothing, gut-friendly recipes. " I want to shift someone's mindset away from this sort of dieting culture to 'I love my body enough to nourish it with things that love me back.'"The Link between Trauma and Autoimmunity: While environmental toxins and microbiome health can result in autoimmune issues, so can psychological trauma. "The higher one's ACE (Adverse Childhood Events or Experiences) score, the more likely that that's a component to things like autoimmune conditions and metabolic issues,"02:19 Discussing Food Dyes and Health Activism06:17 The Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines10:48 Understanding Inflammation and Autoimmunity11:22 Genetics, Epigenetics, and Health18:45 Empowering Health Choices24:13 Parenting and Healthy Eating30:31 Personal Diet Journeys: From Vegan to Paleo42:45 The Role of Trauma in Autoimmunity48:21 Practical Tips for Better HealthConnect with Dr. Myers:Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/Connect with Dr. Cole:Website: https://drwillcole.com/Podcast (The Art of Being Well): https://drwillcole.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drwillcoleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/doctorwillcole/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DrWillCole
