Episode Description
š¬ āI don't want them to get 10% better. I don't want them to get 50% better. I want them to experience complete and radical healing. And I think in order to do that, you've got to go deeperā¦ You need a full protocol, not just a single supplement, not just a diet.ā - Dr. Josh Axe
From his motherās cancer recovery to a clinic model that blends functional testing with Eastern diagnostics (including tongue mapping), Dr. Josh Axe shares how true health begins when we treat the body as an integrated system, not a collection of symptoms. He walks through his proven approach that blends functional medicine, nutrition, Eastern diagnostics, and faith to rebuild energy, balance hormones, and restore the bodyās natural rhythm.
In this conversation, Tim and Dr. Axe explore:
ā”ļø The Five Whys Method: How digging beyond surface symptoms reveals the real drivers of thyroid, fertility, and hormonal issues.
ā”ļø Food as Medicine: Why warming, cooked meals and herbs like ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric can rebuild energy and support digestion.
ā”ļø Deficiency, Toxicity, and Energy: The three forces behind most chronic conditions and how to rebalance them naturally.
ā”ļø Fertility from Both Sides: How insulin balance, emotional safety, and recovery play into conception for women and men alike.
ā”ļø The Hidden Hormone Blockers: Perfumes, plastics, and daily chemicals that silently disrupt thyroid and testosterone function.
ā”ļø The Power of Recovery: How rest, strength training, and boundaries restore hormonal balance and vitality.
ā”ļø Faith and Mindset: Why gratitude, prayer, and purpose are the most underused medicines for emotional and physical resilience.
ā”ļø Dr. Josh Axe is a doctor of natural medicine, doctor of chiropractic, and clinical nutritionist. Heās the founder of Ancient Nutrition, The Health Institute, and The Longevity Club & Clinic, and author of bestsellers including Eat Dirt, Keto Diet, and Ancient Remedies.

A huge shoutout to Timeline for sponsoring this episode!
Iāve been taking Mitopure for years now - itās the only clinically proven form of Urolithin A, a compound that recharges your cellular energy by restoring your mitochondria (those tiny powerhouses inside your cells). Itās been developed over 15 years with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and it works. Since taking it, Iāve noticed stronger workouts, faster recovery, and sustained energy.
Now it comes in a clean, sugar-free gummy (naturally sweetened with stevia) - vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO. Same powerful science, even easier to take.
