Dr. Ashley shares her personal healing journey, beginning with severe chemical sensitivity, joint pain, and autoimmune-like symptoms that went undiagnosed by conventional medicine. Her search for answers led her through homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and ultimately the discovery of mold toxicity and Lyme disease as major root causes behind her health collapse.

Chad Ayers, business owner and certified environmental consultant with PureHealth Mold Inspections, joins us to unpack the hidden health risks inside our homes — and how many healing journeys stall when the home environment isn’t safe.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
•What’s missing from most mold inspections — and why standard air-sampling often misses serious problems.
•How hidden mold and poor home construction trap spores and emit microtoxins that keep your nervous system in crisis.
•The inexpensive tools and targeted inspection methods experts use to uncover mold even when it’s behind a wall or under a floor.
•What symptoms might be signaling more than just stress — and how your body, environment, and health all connect.
•Practical questions to ask when you suspect your home may be contributing to your health issues.
If you’ve felt frustrated by stalled healing, unexplained symptoms, or just haven’t been able to get well no matter what you try — this episode will challenge how you think about home, health, and recovery.

She thought she was doing everything right; raising 8 kids, working out, eating well, yet her body felt heavier, slower, and more out of control by the day. In this episode, I sit down with my sister Jenny to talk about what really changed when she said yes to the Living Light Reset.
Spoiler: it wasn't just about weight.
Yes, she lost 30 pounds. But more importantly, she found stability. Her moods leveled out. Her brain fog lifted. Her body finally felt like hers again. She stopped letting her kids eat off her plate and started reclaiming her right to take up space. She learned to rest, listen, and reset on every level.
This is for every woman in her 40s who thinks her body is falling apart.
It’s not. There’s another way.

Dr. Vohn Watts is the founder of Aegis Formulas, a company focused on creating high-absorption, clinically dosed supplements built on the principles of foundational medicine.
In this conversation, Dr. Watts explains why health is simpler than the industry makes it seem — and why most disease begins with dysfunction at the organ level. He shares how restoring the body’s foundation can bring labs back to normal without aggressive treatment, the crucial role of the liver in overall health, and how emotional toxicity can block healing.
Expect to learn:
•Why most chronic illness starts with organ dysfunction.
•How foundational medicine restores health before treatment.
•What makes supplements actually effective (and why most aren’t).
•Why transparency in ingredients matters.
•The link between emotional toxicity and physical health.

In this episode, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with Dr. Alan Linsdley, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who has worked with over 25,000 patients navigating Lyme disease, chronic infections, and long-term fatigue.
Together, they dive deep into the lingering mystery of Long COVID, exploring how the virus may not have fully left the body, how it hides in tissues, and how that can silently suppress the immune system, drain mitochondrial energy, and reawaken old infections like Lyme and Epstein-Barr.
This isn’t a conversation rooted in fear, it’s one built on awareness, hope, and restoration. Dr. Linsley shares practical ways to support recovery, from rebuilding mitochondrial health to reconnecting with simple, natural rhythms like sunlight, grounding, rest, and deep sleep.
If you’ve felt “off” since COVID, or you’ve struggled to regain the energy you once had, this episode will help you understand why, and remind you that your body can heal. 🌿
🎧 Listen now to learn:
• Why COVID may linger in tissues and suppress immune function
• How mitochondrial damage fuels long-term fatigue and inflammation
• The role of vitamin D, circadian rhythm, and sunlight in immune repair
• Practical ways to rebuild your body’s resilience and vitality

In this deeply human conversation, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician, scientist, and author of The Biology of Trauma. We explored, how trauma lives not only in the mind but in the very cells of our body.
Dr. Aimie shares how adopting her son during medical school became the doorway to understanding trauma on a whole new level. What began as a desire to help a hurting child turned into her own awakening; a health collapse, a reckoning with disconnection, and a journey toward repair that changed everything she thought she knew about healing.
Together, they unpack what it really means to have a “trauma body,” how we can have trauma without ever labeling our experiences as such, and why completing the body’s cycles rather than overriding them is essential to freedom. From the physiology of fight, flight, and freeze to the quiet exhaustion of “functional freeze,” they reveal how patterns of disconnection and suppression show up in our daily lives.
The episode ends with a moving reflection from Seabiscuit, a horse trained to lose who rediscovered his power to run free and Dr. Aimie reminds us that the same possibility lives within each of us. We have not failed. We have simply forgotten how alive we can be.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your body still holds what your mind can’t explain, this conversation will meet you where you are with compassion, science, and hope.

Free BreathWork Session with Jen!
In this raw and deeply personal episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy is joined by his wife Jen for the most honest conversation they’ve ever shared publicly. This is a story of marriage, identity, and the unconscious patterns that kept them emotionally distant for 15 years.
They explore how their attachment styles—his avoidance and her anxiety—created cycles of silence, resentment, and disconnection, especially around business, religion, and intimacy. What began as small miscommunications grew into years of emotional withdrawal, performance-based worth, and spiritual confusion.
But everything started to shift when they stopped pointing fingers and began looking inward. Through breathwork, psychedelic healing, nervous system awareness, and radical vulnerability, they started dismantling the habits that had kept them stuck—and slowly rebuilt a new kind of relationship rooted in consent, pause, connection, and presence.
Whether you're in a strained marriage, struggling with emotional intimacy, or trying to break generational patterns, this episode offers a window into what healing can look like—messy, sacred, and worth it.

In this powerful episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy sits down with Waldemar Franco—movement expert, guide, and author of Find Your Wild Flow—to uncover the shift from chasing external strength to cultivating deep internal alignment. After years of pushing his body to the limit through whitewater paddling, guiding, and intense physical feats, Waldemar was stopped cold by a brutal knee injury. What followed was a two-year journey of recovery, reevaluation, and ultimately, rebirth.
Waldemar shares how the injury and the pandemic helped him realize that true fitness doesn't come from ego-driven goals, but from inner awareness, rhythm, and ritual. You'll hear how he reframed “training routines” into daily movement rituals, how he listens to his body each morning, and how this approach has made him stronger now at 56 than he was a decade ago.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine health, longevity, and personal power—especially men navigating life transitions in their 40s and 50s.

in this powerful episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy Michaux welcomes Dr. Martin C. Hart, DC—a practitioner who blends functional medicine and frequency healing with deep emotional and somatic work. Together, they unpack what it truly means to heal—not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and neurologically.
Dr. Hart opens up about his own childhood battles with OCD, sensory processing issues, and chronic stress. He introduces listeners to the Four F’s—Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn—and explains how these survival patterns get wired into our nervous systems early in life, often without us knowing it. And worse, how they keep us stuck even when we’re doing “all the right things.”
But this isn’t just a discussion about trauma—it’s a roadmap to freedom. Dr. Hart and Dr. Randy dive into the power of somatic healing, breathwork, and daily rituals that bring us back to the core of who we really are. They explore what happens when we stop chasing validation, start regulating the nervous system, and begin the real work of reconnecting to our body and soul.
Whether you’re battling chronic illness, emotional burnout, or just feel disconnected, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and practical tools to help you remember: you’re not broken—you’re just carrying survival patterns. And healing is possible.

Dr. Randy Michaux opens up about one of the most personal and powerful awakenings of his life. This episode explores the subtle, often invisible chains we inherit—the beliefs that tell us our worth is tied to perfection, performance, and fear. Through a transformative journey with plant medicine, Dr. Randy confronts the inner programming that made him confuse religious obligation with divine love.
What if your idea of God was actually rooted in fear, not love? What if you were never meant to earn grace—but simply remember it was always yours?
From psychedelic journeys to childhood religious trauma, this episode is raw, honest, and deeply healing. It’s about letting go of shame, shedding the masks of performance, and finally embracing the truth: you are already enough.

In this raw and eye-opening episode, Dr. Randy sits down with former Navy SEAL and Olympic-level athlete Christopher Lee Maher, a man whose body began breaking down while his identity still clung to peak performance. Chris introduces us to the concept of “Strauma”—stress + time = trauma—and how unresolved stress buries itself deep in the body, distorting our nervous systems, identities, and lives.
Together, they explore how chronic pain often masks deeper emotional wounds, the cultural pressure on men to "suck it up," and why the nervous system begins to collapse when we're too disconnected from being, connection, and our values. You’ll learn how overidentifying with your achievements can block your healing—and what it actually takes to feel whole again.
Whether you're a high-performer burning out or someone seeking more peace in your body, this episode is a must-listen.
