Hospice Doctor: What 3 Dying Men Said When I Brought Them Back | Dr. Zach Bush
Join Dr. Zach and millions around the world at the largest synchronized gathering of ceremony, music and regenerative action this October 17th. Watch live for free: https://ourorigin.earth/ Have you ever wondered what could happen when we disconnect from the living world around us? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zach Bush to talk about why relationships are at the heart of human health, how time in nature can help us reconnect, and what modern life may be taking away from us. We get into glyphosate, toxicity, epigenetics, the complexity of the human genome, and the incredible intelligence within our biological systems. We also explore sensory awareness and the possibility that humans have natural capacities we’ve become disconnected from. Then we go deeper into the emotional side of toxicity and the extra pressure many fathers carry. Dr. Zach Bush shares powerful stories from hospice and near-death experiences that point to a simple but profound idea. We finish with practical ways to reconnect through nature, community, local food, Farmers Footprint, and Journey. “The human genome is the record of the genetic history of the planet. This is a miracle, this is a gift, this is like you are the storied imagination of nature itself." ~ Dr. Zach Bush Resources: - ION* Gut Support & Skin Support - https://store.nontoxicdad.com/products/ion-gut-support-8oz-bottle - Community Platform: Journey - https://zachbushmd.com/pages/journey - Farmers Footprint - https://farmersfootprint.us/en - CytoDetox® Liposomal Zeolite Clinoptilolite with Fulvates - https://store.nontoxicdad.com/products/cytodetox-product - Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1982149671 Connect with Dr. Zach Bush: - Website - https://zachbushmd.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Connect with Warren Phillips: Watch this video to understand what true detoxification should look like, then get The Root Cause Cellular Toxicity Assessment™ Test Bundle: https://nontoxicdad.com/answers/ - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

The Toxicity You Can’t Wash Away
Stop falling for dangerous detox trends. Watch this quick breakdown on true cellular detoxification, then grab your Root Cause Cellular Toxicity Assessment™ Test Bundle: https://nontoxicdad.com/answers/ Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the health advice out there, or trapped by old habits and belief systems you just can’t shake? I know I have. We spend so much energy worrying about external toxins in our food and environment, but what about the toxic thoughts and limiting beliefs holding us back? In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend, holistic health leader, chiropractor, and best-selling author, Dr. Fab Mancini. Together, we dive deep into the ultimate form of toxicity: the toxicity of the mind. We explore how your internal environment, past conditioning, and daily choices shape your biology. Dr. Fab breaks down some simple strategies for shifting your mindset and making small, incremental choices every day to transform your health, relationships, and life purpose. It is so easy to stay comfortable or feel victimized by our current circumstances, but you were created for a much higher purpose. It's time to take control of your path. "I would switch the word fear to the word awareness because awareness becomes empowerment. Fear is a disempowering belief.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ashley Beckman for a deep dive into one of the most overlooked environmental health concerns: mold. Dr. Ashley shares her journey from chemical sensitivity and chronic symptoms to discovering significant mold exposure in her home. We discuss why mold can be difficult to identify, what happened when she had to leave her home, and the painful process of deciding what to clean, keep, or throw away. We also explore mycotoxin testing, detoxification, personal belongings, furniture, clothing, remediation, and why creating a healthier home environment requires looking at both the environment and the body. We talk about the bigger picture: finding root causes, making informed choices, and empowering families, especially children, to understand how their environment can affect their health.

Your Body Has a “Toxic Bucket”: What Happens When It Overflows?
Watch this video to understand what true detoxification should look like, then get The Root Cause Cellular Toxicity Assessment™ Test Bundle: https://nontoxicdad.com/answers/ What if the health problems we struggle with aren’t caused by one thing, but by the cumulative effect of countless exposures over time? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jaban Moore to explore how environmental toxins, chronic illness, stress, and the body’s ability to recover are connected. We talk about the “toxic bucket” analogy and why everyone may have a different threshold for dealing with environmental exposures. We discuss the “thousand razor blades” effect—how seemingly small exposures can add up over time. I recount my journey as someone whose health was severely impacted by toxic exposure and then share what helped me begin rebuilding. We also explore practical ways to reduce your toxic load and create an environment that better supports your health. “You've got to calm the body and get rid of the toxins. And one or the other is not an option—you have to do both.” ~ Dr. Jaban Moore Resources: - Know what's in your tap water - https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/ - Toxic causes of mental illness are overlooked - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18621076/ Connect with Dr. Jaban Moore: - Website - https://drjabanmoore.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjabanmoore Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

How to Break the Burnout Cycle With Patrice Bonfiglio
Watch this video to understand what true detoxification should look like, then get The Root Cause Cellular Toxicity Assessment™ Test Bundle: https://nontoxicdad.com/answers/ Burnout is a significant global issue, with productivity losses reaching over $300 billion annually, and the United States leading in these statistics. But what if burnout isn’t just a work problem? What if it's a sign that you’ve become disconnected from yourself, your family, and the stuff that makes you feel alive? In this episode, I sit down with Patrice Bonfiglio, author of The Burnout Imperative, to discuss the hidden toxicity of modern work culture and why so many people feel trapped in a cycle of stress, exhaustion, and constant productivity. Patrice shares her experience with burnout and what she discovered about the connection between leadership, purpose, creativity, and sustainable success. We also explore how burnout can show up at home, especially for parents who carry the mental load of family life. We talk about reconnecting with your children, creating space for fun and creativity, sharing responsibilities, and using technology like AI to reduce (not increase) your mental burden. Finally, we discuss what it means to stop simply “doing” and start living again. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear this message. “We need to feel alive when we’re working, even if it's Monday." ~ Patrice Bonfiglio Resources: - The Burnout Imperative by Patrice Bonfiglio - https://patricebonfiglio.com/book/ - How to Prevent Employee Burnout - https://www.gallup.com/workplace/313160/preventing-and-dealing-with-employee-burnout.aspx - Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1982149671 Connect with Patrice Bonfiglio: - Website - https://patricebonfiglio.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

What 17 Years of Marriage Taught Us About Love, Parenting, and Family Connection
I’ve been married to Rebecca for 17 years, and this conversation is one of the most personal and honest episodes I’ve ever recorded. We talk about what it really takes to build a strong marriage, especially when two people bring different personalities, patterns, expectations, and past experiences into a relationship. We share how our relationship evolved from conflict, disconnection, and even thoughts of divorce into the deeper partnership we have today and why commitment, self-reflection, listening, and learning to respond instead of react changed everything for us. We also get into parenting, homeschooling, and why disagreements in front of your kids aren't necessarily a bad thing if children get to see healthy reconciliation afterward. We discuss breaking inherited patterns and creating a culture of connection at home. This conversation is about realizing that change is possible. Rebecca has watched me become more emotionally open, present, and connected, and I've watched her grow in confidence and continue becoming the woman, mother, and partner she wants to be. I think it's a fallacy, and what I've observed in successful relationships over the years is that we need to get rid of the idea that relationships are 50/50. ~ Rebecca Phillips Resources: - Hunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1982149671 Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Why Testosterone Is Falling in Younger Men with Dr. Howard Aubert
What happens if your testosterone level is low? In this episode, Dr. Howard Aubert and I dive into why testosterone matters for far more than muscle and sex drive, including energy, motivation, cognitive function, bone density, cardiovascular health, and metabolic health. We talk about why low testosterone appears to be increasingly common in younger men and why simply chasing higher numbers may not be the answer. We also explore the risks and limitations of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), especially for younger men who may still have the ability to produce testosterone naturally. Dr. Aubert explains why looking at the bigger picture can reveal potential reasons for low testosterone that may be otherwise overlooked. We discuss TRT, pellets, injections, topical testosterone, certain medications, and why individualized treatment and regular monitoring matter. Finally, we take a deeper look at the environmental side of male hormone health. We discuss microplastics found in testicular tissue, hormone-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates, and the importance of reducing toxic exposures. We also talk about combining medical treatment with foundational lifestyle changes. “Most guys have no idea how much better they could be feeling if their testosterone were optimized." ~ Dr. Howard Aubert Resources: - Gonadal steroids and body composition, strength, and sexual function in men - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24024838/ - Microplastics and male reproductive system: A comprehensive review based on cellular and molecular effects - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12937021/ - American Urological Association - https://www.auanet.org/ - NADS Organic Underwear - https://nadsunder.com/ - Microplastics Test - https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/products/microplastics-test Connect with Dr. Howard Aubert: - Website (Pazona MD) - https://pazonamd.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

How To Calm Autoimmunity Through Diet and Lifestyle With Mickey Trescott
What if your autoimmune condition isn’t just caused by your genes but by the environment, foods, and toxins that influence how those genes are expressed? In this episode, I sit down with Mickey Trescott, a leading voice in the autoimmune health space, to explore why autoimmune disease is becoming one of the fastest-growing health challenges today. We dive into the connection between the gut, the microbiome, and immune function, and discuss why autoimmune conditions are deeply influenced by environmental factors, diet, lifestyle, stress, and the health of our gut barrier. Mickey shares her journey with Hashimoto’s and celiac disease, and explains how her own struggles led her to discover the principles behind the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP). She breaks down the research behind AIP and why it has shown promise for conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and Hashimoto’s. If you or someone you love is struggling with autoimmune symptoms, this conversation could provide a roadmap for helping the body to heal with the right environment, nutrition, and lifestyle choices. “Every autoimmune disease is linked by gut dysfunction." ~ Mickey Trescott Resources: - The New Autoimmune Protocol by Mickey Trescott - https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/books/#naip - Efficacy of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28858071/ - Research on AIP and Intestinal RNA Expression Changes - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7147823/ - Dr. Alessio Fasano’s research on Leaky Gut and Autoimmune Diseases - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22109896/ - The theory of disappearing microbiota and the epidemics of chronic diseases - https://www.nature.com/articles/nri.2017.77 Connect with Mickey Trescott: - Website - https://theautoimmuneprotocol.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

The Hidden Toxins Affecting Your Family’s Health With LaKrista Valentine
What if your child’s health struggles aren’t just random but connected to how their body processes toxins from the world around them? In this episode, I sit down with LaKrista Valentine, a nurse and natural health advocate, to explore her journey from conventional healthcare into a deeper understanding of detoxification, environmental toxins, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. LaKrista shares how a mysterious health crisis led her to discover applied kinesiology, toxic exposure, and why some people are more affected by their environment than others. We talk about raising healthier children, reducing everyday exposures, supporting detox pathways, and becoming a more informed advocate for your own health. This conversation is about becoming more aware of the choices we make every day and understanding that small changes can create a meaningful impact on long-term wellness. “I have a lot of people ask me like, 'What's the best multivitamin or immune booster for my kids?' And I always say detox. Detox is the best immune booster because the higher your toxic load, the lower your immune system is." ~ LaKrista Valentine Connect with LaKrista Valentine: - Website - https://nativewellnessllc.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lakristavalentine Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

THESE Exercise Mistakes Are Destroying Your Body
Did you know your workout routine could be causing the pain and injuries you’re trying to prevent? In this episode, I sit down with Bryce Johnson, a Neuromuscular Education Therapist, to explore why so many people are dealing with chronic pain, mobility issues, and injuries that are likely caused by the way they move every day. Bryce shares his journey with chronic knee pain from childhood, how traditional approaches failed to address the root cause, and how that experience led him to helping others restore movement and function. We dive into the science behind neuromuscular reeducation, muscle activation, and functional movement. We also discuss why exercise itself can become harmful when performed with poor mechanics. This conversation is about changing the goal from simply looking strong to becoming agile and staying active even as we age. “There's no better feeling than fixing yourself when you can do it, and that's what training is." ~ Bryce Johnson Connect with Bryce Johnson: - Website - https://www.thesperoclinic.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/speroclinic Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Cancer, Healing, and the Power of Mindset With Dr. Randy Johns
What if cancer isn’t the enemy, but a signal that your body has been overwhelmed by the environment you created? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Randy Johns, chiropractor, health educator, and co-founder of Happy Healthy Life, to hear his incredible story of overcoming a late-stage cancer diagnosis and completely transforming his approach to health and healing. Randy shares how, despite looking healthy and helping thousands of people improve their health, he was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma and given a life expectancy of only months to two years. We dive into the mindset shift that changed everything for him. Randy explains why he stopped looking at cancer as something to fight off and instead focused on removing whatever was preventing his body from functioning the way it was designed to. We discuss how unresolved trauma, stress, and lifestyle choices can impact health, and why metabolic function is at the center of chronic disease. Randy’s story is a powerful reminder that the body has an incredible ability to recover when we remove the things standing in its way. “We don’t need more healing in life; we need less interference, and that's really the foundation." ~ Dr. Randy Johns Resources: Dr. Raymond Hilu (renowned for treating all types of illnesses, especially chronic and rare diseases) - https://www.faim.org/the-hilu-institute Connect with Dr. Randy Johns: - Website - https://www.thehappyhealthylife.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theh2life/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

The Hidden Causes of Metabolic Dysfunction With Rob Vasquez
What if the biggest thing keeping you from healing isn’t your diet or exercise but the toxins, beliefs, and mindset that disrupt your metabolism? In this episode, I reconnect with Rob Vasquez, a chiropractor and metabolic health expert, to explore why so many people are struggling with chronic disease, weight gain, and poor health despite having access to more information than ever before. Rob shares his incredible journey from wanting to become a medical doctor, struggling with severe migraines, and discovering chiropractic care as a path to healing. We dive into the biggest obstacles preventing people from getting healthy today, starting with the most important one: mindset. We also discuss how toxic ingredients in our food supply can disrupt metabolism, hormones, and cellular function, and why rebuilding health requires a foundation of real food, proper nutrition, and the elimination of interferences that keep the body from healing. “My greatest concern for the world is what I'm most passionate about and what it is that I do. And that is trying to rid the world of metabolic illness." ~ Rob Vasquez Resources: The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr & Tony Schwartz - https://amazon.com/dp/0743226755 Connect with Rob Vasquez: - Website - https://www.thehappyhealthylife.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theh2life/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Gut Health, Butyrate, and Healing Chronic Disease With Steven Wright
What if the key to detoxing your body, reducing inflammation, and preventing chronic disease starts with the trillions of microbes living inside your gut? In this episode, I sit down with Steven Wright, a gut health expert and founder of Healthy Gut, to explore one of the most important foundations of health–the microbiome. Steven shares his journey from years of digestive issues, food sensitivities, and chronic health challenges to discovering the systems and strategies that helped him rebuild his health. We talk about how gut health is directly connected to detoxification, inflammation, and chronic disease. We also discuss one of the most powerful compounds produced by our gut bacteria, and Steven explains how this short-chain fatty acid supports the gut lining, regulates inflammation, protects against dysbiosis, and influences everything from brain health to cardiovascular health. Healing is not about living in fear of every toxin or exposure. It’s about building resilience, supporting your body’s natural systems, and creating an environment where your microbiome can thrive. “A healthy gut is like a hippie community down there because all the bugs work in conjunction." ~ Steven Wright Connect with Steven Wright: - Website - https://healthygut.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/healthygutco/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

How Emotional Toxicity and Trauma Impact Your Weight & Health With Dr. Regan Tilley
What if your chronic health struggles aren’t just physical but rooted in unresolved childhood trauma and emotional patterns you’ve carried for decades? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Regan Tilley to explore the deep connection between childhood trauma, emotional toxicity, and physical health outcomes like obesity and chronic illness. Dr. Regan shares her powerful story of growing up in a challenging environment shaped by abuse, instability, and emotional stress, and how those early experiences influenced her health, mindset, and lifelong healing journey. We dive into the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how they can shape everything from weight regulation to emotional resilience. One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is our discussion around anger, boundaries, and self-responsibility. We also talk about rapid transformational therapy (RTT) and the importance of stepping into self-awareness and accountability to truly break generational cycles. This episode is ultimately about hope—how healing is possible when we begin to understand the emotional roots of disease, take ownership of our inner world, and commit to changing patterns that no longer serve us. “Everything that I've experienced has been a lesson for me to learn and grow from. So I take all of this as lessons on how I can further improve myself so that I can help other people." ~ Dr. Regan Tilley Connect with Dr. Regan Tilley: - Website - https://wholehealthmhk.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

How Environmental Toxins and Plastics Are Driving Chronic Illness with Dr. Miles Nichols
What if the plastic in your clothes, water, and air is already inside your brain and driving disease without you knowing it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Miles Nichols, a functional medicine doctor, to break down one of the most urgent health threats of our time. We discuss how plastics, nanoplastics, and chemical exposures are accumulating in our bodies and what that means for long-term health, inflammation, and disease risk. We look into studies linking higher microplastic load to dementia, cardiovascular disease, infertility, and neuroinflammation, and what this means for the rising rates of chronic illness today. Dr. Miles explains advanced testing, like transcriptomics, and how gene expression patterns can reveal early signs of conditions like Parkinson’s long before symptoms appear. Finally, we talk about practical solutions to reduce exposure and lower the overall toxic burden. This episode is empowering. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness and consistent reduction of exposure. “Oftentimes, the body starts to naturally heal when the conditions are right for that. And so a lot of the work in the clinic is to make sure that we're reducing enough of the obstacles that prevent the body from doing what it naturally does so well." ~ Dr. Miles Nichols Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 Connect with Dr. Miles Nichols: - Website - https://drmilesnichols.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Toxic Skincare and the Truth About Clean Beauty With Marisol Teijeiro
What if the products you use every day to look better are actually making you age faster? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, founder of Queen of the Thrones, to discuss one of the most overlooked sources of toxicity in our lives: our skincare and beauty products. Dr. Marisol shares her journey from beauty pageants to becoming a naturopathic doctor and clean beauty advocate, after realizing how many everyday products were loaded with hidden chemicals that impact long-term health.

The Real Cause of Heart Attacks Isn’t What You Think
What if everything you thought you knew about preventing heart attacks was wrong and the real solution isn’t a pill or stent, but a non-toxic, holistic approach? In this episode, I sit down with Diamond Fernandes, an expert in heart health and founder of Heart Fit Clinic, to tackle one of the biggest health concerns today. We break down the conventional approach to heart care and why so many people are misdiagnosed or overtreated with stents, bypasses, and medications. Diamond shares a non-toxic perspective, explaining how mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and inflammation are the true drivers of heart attacks, not just cholesterol. We explore the three pillars of heart health: electrical function, structural integrity, and arterial health. Diamond walks us through the science behind healthy arteries, angiogenesis (how arteries can regrow), and the impact of lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset on long-term cardiovascular outcomes. For anyone who feels confused by conflicting heart health advice or overwhelmed by medications and procedures, this conversation provides hope and practical tips for cardiovascular wellness. “Heart attacks occur when you end up with mitochondrial dysfunction...You can have a heart attack and have completely normal coronaries." ~ Diamond Fernandes Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 - Books by Diamond Fernandes - https://heartfitclinic.com/products/ Connect with Diamond Fernandes: - Website - https://heartfitclinic.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad
