The Joy Code: How to Open Yourself Back Up to Purpose, Connection & Peace | Diane Kazer & Susan Leahy-Patrick

When was the last time you gave yourself permission to laugh, rest, and actually feel good? We spend so much energy chasing health, but rarely stop to ask what it's all for. Today I'm joined by my dear friends Dr. Diane Kazer and Susan Patrick, who are hosting a joy-focused retreat this October in Paamul, Riviera Maya, Mexico. We dig into why so many women carry the weight of everyone else's happiness, yet they are only responsible for their own joy. Dr. Diane and Susan share how five days in raw, unspoiled nature can crack open a nervous system that's been running on hustle and shame for decades. We also talk about why AI actually gives us more room to be human, not less. It's time to put your joy first!   "You are not responsible for anybody's joy, but you can be an advocate. And when you learn how to become an advocate (of joy) for the people you love, you become more powerful." ~ Susan Patrick   In This Episode: - Introduction: why joy is the endgame - Why and how Real Joy retreats came to be - What to expect at the Real Joy Retreat - You're not responsible for anyone else's joy  - Permission to pursue joy and break generational patterns  - Choosing to be a "yeah" person, not "meh"  - What women are really seeking  - Retreat dates and how to sign up  - Facing the fear of being judged  - The beauty and raw excursions in Mexico  - What daily life at the retreat looks like  - Workshops: mindset, functional medicine, and joy   Products & Resources Mentioned: The Real Joy Experience in Mexico: Learn more about the retreat and sign up at https://www.realjoyretreats.com/  Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20   Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy5   Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Susan Patrick:  Susan Leahy-Patrick is a speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and co-host of The Joy Jolt Podcast.

What if everything you were taught about how a virus is discovered and proven is flawed? Today I'm joined by Dr. Thomas Cowan, a family physician of 37 years who spent his career practicing conventional medicine before turning his attention to the foundational evidence behind virology, immunology, and disease itself.  Dr. Tom walks us through how viruses like polio, measles, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2 have historically been "isolated" in lab settings and why he questions the reliability of PCR and antibody testing. He believes symptoms like fevers, rashes, and tumors are the body's own healing response rather than disease caused by an outside pathogen.  We also get into his views on autoimmune disease, cholesterol, and blood pressure. If you're the kind of person who likes to question what you've been told and prefers to look at the primary research findings, this conversation will give you plenty to explore.    "The things we call symptoms are not diseases. They are the body's attempt to heal." ~ Dr. Thomas Cowan   In This Episode: - Why Dr. Tom questions the existence of viruses - How measles and SARS-CoV-2 were "isolated"  - Measles diagnostic criteria and vaccine history  - Views on COVID, HIV, gain-of-function, and antibody theory  - What really causes "viral" diseases? - Validity of the PCR test methodology  - Autoimmune disease reframed as poisoning or diet  - Views on vaccine ingredients and dosing schedules  - Cholesterol, blood pressure, and blocked arteries  - Dr. Tom's views on genetic codons   Products & Resources Mentioned: Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Thomas Cowan:  Dr. Thomas Cowan is an alternative medicine doctor, author, and speaker known for a holistic, common-sense approach to health.

How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives. I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it.  We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit.  We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs.    "Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman   In This Episode: - The Rebel Health Alliance philosophy on longevity  - Why walking is the easiest insulin resistance fix  - The scale of America's pre-diabetes crisis  - How movement helps in building muscle mass - Symptoms of insulin resistance - Health insights from continuous glucose monitors - Peptides, muscle loss, and how to do it right - How to connect with John and Rebel Health Alliance   Products & Resources Mentioned: Rebel Health Alliance: Access personalized medical care focused on optimization and longevity, guided by your unique biology and long-term health goals from the elite medical team at https://rebelhealthalliance.io/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5  Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body. Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About John Goldman: When doctors told John Goldman he was fine, he felt anything but. He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.

Have you optimized your diet, dialed in your supplements, but you're still exhausted, foggy, and can't sleep? What if the missing piece isn't another protocol, but the fact that you're spending 93% of your life indoors? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John La Puma to unpack the science behind his new book, Indoor Epidemic. We get into why the brightness of outdoor light governs half your genes, and why your bedtime predicts longevity better than your total hours of sleep. Dr. John explains the minimum effective dose of outdoor time your body needs, why "light first, coffee second" matters, and simple ways to turn nature into a free, powerful medical intervention.    "Having a two-hour forest bathing session can improve natural killer cell activity and number by 56%." ~ Dr. John La Puma   In This Episode: - What is the indoor epidemic? - How light sets your circadian rhythm - The 17-minute effective dose and morning light protocol  - How gardening impacts the microbiome - Additional tips to explore outdoors more - Benefits of watching the sunrise and sunset - The 7-day Outdoor Rx reset program - Where to get Dr. John's book and more resources   Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John La Puma's Book, Indoor Epidemic: 93% Inside Steals Sleep, Focus & Years - The 7% Outdoor Rx Restores Them: https://indoorepidemic.com  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5   Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. John La Puma: John La Puma, MD, ChefMD, is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine. He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His upcoming book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework. This is a clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan.

One of the biggest problems with healthcare isn't a lack of data, but the fact that none of it is connected. We have lab results, wearables, environmental exposures, sleep scores, and medical records scattered in different places. Yet we're often left without a clear picture of what all that information actually means for our health. I sat down with Nasim Afsar to explore how artificial intelligence could help us bring those pieces together. We talked about using tools like Claude and Gemini for health questions, the limitations of today's AI models, privacy concerns, and why relying too heavily on numbers can disconnect you from what your body is telling you. We also look at where healthcare is headed, from continuous monitoring and predictive analytics to personalized prevention before symptoms become bigger problems. You'll hear about how to filter through biohacking noise, make smarter decisions with your health data, and use technology without letting it replace your own judgment.   "Large language models have access to a wealth of information that can help you better understand what your information says, and potentially brainstorm about what else could be going on." ~ Nasim Afsar   In This Episode: - The pillars of intelligent health - Using AI to analyze complex health symptoms - Best LLMs and wearables for health data - Avoiding health optimization overload - Monitoring and consolidating data for health intelligence - Bias in AI recommendations - How algorithms shape health information - Three steps to take charge of your health - AI health tools and where to get Nasim's book   Products & Resources Mentioned: Nasim Afsar's Book, Intelligent Health: A resource built to unify data, harness AI, and empower people to thrive.

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health.  Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages. You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.   "PMS is not normal. We should not all be in pain; we should be feeling relatively good most of the time." ~ Izzy Fischer   In This Episode: - Izzy's nutrition and entrepreneurship background - Nutrients that women need to optimize hormones - Estrogen and progesterone cycle explained - Core nutrients for women: Iron and vitamins - Why foundational nutrition matters from a young age - How DailyBasis supplements work for women - Testimonials and where to buy DailyBasis supplements   Products & Resources Mentioned: DailyBasis Supplements for Women: Get 30% off your first month of Cycle Routine at https://dailybasislife.superfiliate.com/MYERS or use code MYERS at checkout Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com   Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

What if the fatigue, poor sleep, and slow healing you've chalked up to "just getting older" actually trace back to one molecule you stopped making enough of at 40? Melatonin isn't just a sleep aid. It's your mitochondria's master antioxidant, and its levels fall off a cliff right when you need it most. In today's episode, Dr. John Lieurance joins me to break down why that drop matters so much for energy, detox, and brain health. He shares the research behind super-physiological melatonin dosing,  why suppositories outperform oral and IV delivery, and how melatonin clears heavy metals from the brain.  We talk about his health crisis, root causes of enlarged prostate, and the peptides he uses for skin and tissue repair. We also dig into mold detox, craniosacral therapy, and heart rate variability as a longevity marker.    "400 times more melatonin is secreted by the lining of your gut, triggering microbiome swarming that stimulates the good bacteria to proliferate and inhibit the bad bacteria." ~  Dr. John Lieurance   In This Episode: - Addressing prostate inflammation at the Advanced Rejuvenation clinic - Mitochondrial stress from endogenous and exogenous toxins - Airways, dura and the glymphatic system - Fascia, acupuncture and frequency medicine  - The Warburg effect and melatonin intersect - How melatonin supports heavy metal detoxification - Melatonin and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - Health benefits of MitoSkin and GHK-Cu Copper - Mold toxicity and detox strategies Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. John Lieurance's Book: Melatonin Miracle Molecule: https://a.co/d/04I0Zc2L  MitoZen Supplements: Science-backed supplements for NAD+, sleep, immune support, cellular energy, and detoxification: https://www.mitozen.com/  Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com   Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5   Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox   Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

Could erectile dysfunction be a warning sign from your body rather than just a performance issue? Today I'm hosting Dr. Jordan Barber to uncover how sexual health is connected to pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve compression, trauma, toxins, hormones, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Barber shares how his background in Chinese medicine and acupuncture has shaped his approach to identifying the root causes of ED rather than masking symptoms with quick fixes. We also discuss testosterone, circadian rhythms, vagus nerve health, and porn's impact on dopamine signaling. He also offers practical strategies men can use to support better sexual function and longevity. Tune in for the bigger picture behind erectile dysfunction and a more holistic approach to improving vitality.   "If a man has performance anxiety, he's going to be stuck in a sympathetic state, which will not allow him to maintain or have a firm erection." ~  Dr. Jordan Barber   In This Episode: - Erectile dysfunction as a health signal - Pelvic floor dysfunction and nerve pathways - The neurology of an erection - Tools to ease performance anxiety - Hormones, toxins, and testosterone replacement - Hair growth medications and erectile issues - Porn, dopamine, and performance issues  - Root causes of ED beyond blood flow - ED medications: risks and alternatives   Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. Jordan Barber's Book: Thinking In Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture: https://a.co/d/0eLhBT6P  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox    Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Jordan Barber: Dr. Jordan Barber is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) specializing in integrative pain care with a focus on pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, and complex musculoskeletal conditions.

Did you know the very medication doctors push to "protect" your heart could be wrecking your brain, hormones, and mood? I've watched statins destroy lives, including my father's, and it's time to address the issues with the meds. I am joined by chiropractor Joel Boheimer, founder of the supplement line Regenerate, to break down why nattokinase is gaining popularity for heart health. Joel walks us through the research behind this fibrin-dissolving enzyme. He explains why cholesterol isn't the villain we've been told it is, and how the wrong form of calcium affects your arteries and joints. We also get into vitamin K2, ellagic acid, and why regenerative, whole-food sourcing changes everything about how a supplement performs in your body.  If you're worried about your heart or just tired of being handed a prescription instead of an explanation, this conversation will change how you think about your next cardiologist visit.   "Research shows that higher levels of cholesterol are protective to longevity, heart attack, strokes, and cancers." ~  Dr. Joel Bohemier   In This Episode: - What is nattokinase, and what are its benefits? - Why statins are dangerous - Statins linked to rise in dementia - Nattokinase use after 2020 jabs  - Regenerate's farming philosophy - The research behind Regenerate's supplements - An overview of CardioNK's ingredients  - Vitamin K2 and calcium placement  - Ellagic acid and urolithins - Bacillus subtilis and gut health benefits - Where to get CardioNK and recommended dosage   Products & Resources Mentioned: Regenerate's CardioNK: Get it at a special discount at: https://regeneratecompany.com/pages/myers?uid=2&oid=2&affid=9  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/     Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at trytruenergy.com/wendy5 Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Joel Bohemier: Dr. Joel Bohemier is a second-generation chiropractor and founder of Regenerate, a supplement company built on a simple idea: the health of people and the health of the planet are connected.

I've been trying to book this guest for over ten years. Why? Because almost no one in medicine is willing to talk honestly about what's actually happening inside breast implants, including bacteria, biofilm, and the heavy metals leaching into your body. I finally sat down with Dr. Robert Whitfield, one of the few surgeons in the country specializing in breast implant illness and explant surgery. We explore a 2024 study he published showing nearly 30% of implant capsules tested positive for bacterial contamination, why he removes the entire capsule during explant, and which heavy metals show up most often. He also talks about potential issues with infrared saunas if you still have implants, and how patients can experience dramatic symptom relief after explant surgery and removal of the capsule tissue. If you have implants or are simply implant-curious, tune in and learn what your plastic surgeon likely isn't telling you.   "In 2024, we published a large series of PCR tests. We found that 29% of 694 consecutive specimens had bacterial contamination." ~ Dr. Robert Whitfield   In This Episode: - Dr. Whitfield's reconstructive surgery background  - How bacteria attach to implants  - What is breast implant illness?   - What toxins are in breast implants?  - Common symptoms of breast implant illness  - Should you use a sauna with implants?  - Current understanding of implant safety in the medical community - Patient recovery stories after removing implants - How to prepare for explant surgery  - Do all implants leak heavy metals?    Products & Resources Mentioned: Educational Resources on Breast Implants: Explore additional information, study results, and podcasts on breast implants, or book a consultation call with Dr. Robert Whitfield at https://www.drrobertwhitfield.com/  Join Dr. Whitfield's Private Community: Access uncensored education, holistic health protocols, and exclusive weekly lives at https://drrobscircle.com/  Buy Dr. Whitfield's First Book: The SHARP Method-- Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program https://amzn.eu/d/01ByBgMQ  His Latest  Book:  Breast Implants, Explant Surgery, and Breast Implant Illness with Robert Whitfield, MD– A Comprehensive Guidebook to Fat Transfer, Holistic Surgical Recovery, and the SHARP MethodTM https://amzn.eu/d/09fB26Qm  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox     Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.
