What if your biggest health breakthrough next year isn’t a “new supplement”… but doing the hard thing you’ve been avoiding? In this year-end episode, Dr. Kevin Wall looks back on the most talked-about conversations and viral clips from this past year, then ties them together with one consistent theme: real health isn’t a magic bullet. It’s simple habits, consistent care, and the courage to question quick-fix thinking. You’ll hear highlights on: Headaches Nerve pain vs. muscle pain Neuropathy & blood sugar Pre-diabetes warning signs Hormones & metabolism Diabetes reality check Cold plunging & discomfort tolerance Muscle + fasting + autophagy Gluten & gut health As you head into the new year, Dr. Wall’s challenge is simple: write down what you’re afraid of, pick the hardest “frog,” and start there.

What if your “bad back” isn’t random at all, but a predictable progression you could have interrupted years ago?  Dr. Kevin Wall pulls back the curtain on the seven stages of lower back pain, why sitting has become its own “pandemic,” and how your gut, your nervous system, and even big pharma all intersect in the story of your spine. After 36 years of treating thousands of patients, he maps out the pathway from “I’m just a little stiff” to “I’ve given up my life because of pain”—and how to get off that road at any stage. Dr. Wall also shares the moment that changed the trajectory of his career: doing pharmaceutical research that didn’t actually prove what the published papers claimed it did. That experience sent him into chiropractic, integrated health clinics, and eventually into helping patients address the deeper metabolic and gut issues that keep their pain coming back.   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall   Resources: Gut Reset / Feel Great System – Dr. Wall’s recommended metabolic and gut health program to address systemic inflammation, blood sugar issues, and diffuse pain (look for the “Gut Reset” or “Feel Great System” button on his site).

What if the posture your family lives in today determines the health your grandchildren live with tomorrow? In this episode, Dr. Wall sits down with world-renowned physician, author, and chronic pain expert Dr. James Stoxen to expose one of the fastest-growing diagnoses in modern healthcare: text neck and the far more dangerous evolution of it — thoracic outlet syndrome. We’re living in a generation that no longer lifts, bends, or labors physically. Instead, we’re hunched over phones and screens, collapsing our spines, starving our nerves, and creating an inflammation storm that’s not only wrecking our posture, but it’s wrecking our mood, our sleep, and our long-term health. Dr. Stoxen breaks down: Why tech-driven posture is reversing the natural S-curve we were designed to develop The hidden signs of thoracic outlet syndrome. How chronic inflammation triggers anxiety, depression, and accelerated aging The 24–30 hour deep-tissue system he uses to clear inflammation and rebuild the body’s natural spring How parents can detect early warning signs in their children and prevent this epidemic from becoming generational Guest Bio: Dr. James Stoxen is a #1 international bestselling author and one of the world’s leading experts on thoracic outlet syndrome, biomechanics, and natural recovery from chronic pain. Over his career, he has been invited to speak at more than 500 medical conferences across 50 cities and 30 countries, delivering over 60 keynote lectures. He also built one of the largest celebrity practices in the United States, treating world-tour entertainers on more than 140 national tours with award-winning performers. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Orthopedic Science & Research and sits on the editorial boards of over 40 medical journals, underscoring his global influence in sports medicine, biomechanics, and integrative health science.

Have the “itis brothers” moved into your life, tendonitis, bursitis, gastritis, myositis… and their loudest cousins, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis? In this episode, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with regenerative pain specialist Dr. Mareshah Dunning to expose why so many of us are stuck with chronic joint pain, endless diagnoses, and lifetime prescriptions, and what you can actually do to evict the itis brothers for good. Dr. Wall and Dr. Dunning unpack what “-itis” really means (spoiler: it just means inflammation), why naming your pain is not the same as finding the cause, and how our current medical model plays a game of “name that tune” with your symptoms. Instead of asking “What pill matches this diagnosis?” they ask the better question: “Why is this tissue inflamed in the first place?” Guest Bio: Dr. Mareshah Dunning is an Interventional Naturopathic Regenerative Medicine Pain Physician with Solutions Regenerative Medicine, practicing out of the Neil Riordan Center for Regenerative Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. Her clinical focus is pain management with a regenerative mindset, helping patients move beyond numbing their symptoms to actually addressing the deeper causes of joint and tissue degeneration. She treats a wide range of conditions, from osteoarthritis and tendonitis to autoimmune-driven joint disease, always aiming to restore function, reduce pain, and get patients back to living their lives, playing with their kids, staying active, and doing what they love, without becoming dependent on opioids or endless steroid injections. Dr. Dunning is also passionate about patient education, helping people understand epigenetics, lifestyle, diet, and biomechanics so they can take back control of their health.

Anxiety is at an all-time high, but what if a lot of what you’re feeling is actually a false alarm instead of a life sentence? In this greatest hits conversation, Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with his longtime friend and counselor, Dr. Don Worcester, to unpack why anxiety is so rampant, how our imaginations fuel it, and what it really takes to step off the loop and onto a bigger track. Together, they dig into the difference between feeling and function, why pain is often the last thing to show and the first thing to go, and why waiting for symptoms before you act is like waiting for a root canal before you see the dentist. Dr. Don explains anxiety as something we experience in the absence of love, using powerful illustrations: darkness as the absence of light, cold as the absence of heat, and anxiety as the “virtual reality headset” your brain forgets it’s wearing. Guest Bio: Dr. Don Worcester is a counseling psychologist and the founder of True North Consulting, offering coaching, speaking, and training services. With over 25 years of experience, he specializes in helping couples strengthen their relationships through retreats and online resources, alongside his wife, Renee. Dr. Worcester holds a Master’s and Doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology (M.C., Ed. D.) and has worked in clinical practice for 20 years in areas such as community counseling, addiction recovery, and marriage and family services. He also has 15 years of experience in organizational consulting, teaching, and leading marriage conferences and relational workshops both in the U.S. and abroad.

We’re all for getting to root causes—not band-aids. Today, Dr. Kevin sits down with registered dietitian and food systems expert Sharon Palmer, known as “The Plant-Powered Dietitian,” to cut through the noise on plant-forward eating. We tackle protein anxiety, how to build plates that actually keep you full, the truth about red/processed meat, and why dialing up beans, whole grains, greens, and berries can shift blood sugar, weight, and long-term health—without getting weird or expensive. What you’ll learn Plant-based vs. vegan vs. flexitarian Protein reality check Meat, health, and the planet Satiety that sticks Fasting & blood sugar A simple “Plant Day” template Guest Bio: Sharon Palmer, MS, RD—widely known as “The Plant-Powered Dietitian”—is a registered dietitian, author, and nutrition journalist with two decades of experience translating nutrition science into everyday meals.

Do we really need 15 people, an IV, and a timer to welcome a baby—or have we drifted from what the body was built to do? Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with veteran midwife, educator, and author Elizabeth Davis (40+ years in birth work) to unpack when home birth is safer, how midwives screen risk, and why birth hormones (oxytocin, beta-endorphins, noradrenaline) matter for bonding, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. They compare intervention-heavy hospital norms (inductions, Pitocin, epidurals, C-sections) with midwifery care that screens out high-risk moms, monitors vitals continuously, transports when needed, and stays with families after the birth. You’ll hear practical “do this next” steps for pregnancy and the first 10–12 days postpartum. What They Cover: Why 70% of pregnancies may be lower-risk—and what that means for place of birth How midwives screen out risk (history, labs, vitals, ongoing assessments) Birth hormones 101: how interventions can short-circuit bonding & bleeding control Induction & Pitocin: when it’s used vs. when “watchful patience” wins C-section rates: why the default matters for lifelong mom & baby health Safety net: when and how midwives do transport—and the emergency skills they carry Postpartum reality: daily home visits, breastfeeding support, and preventing crash-and-burn Guest Bio: Renowned expert Elizabeth Davis has been a midwife, holistic health care specialist, educator, and political consultant for over 40 years. She is internationally active in promoting physiologic birth and is widely sought after for her expertise in midwifery education and organizational development. She holds a degree in Holistic Maternity Care, is a certified professional midwife (CPM) in good standing, and is co-founder of the MEAC-accredited National Midwifery Institute, Inc. Her journey began in the late 1970’s, when direct-entry midwifery was illegal in most the United States. Having personally experienced the contrast between a violent, abusive hospital birth and an ecstatic, glorious home birth, she felt called to do something to help create the organizational and political infrastructure to make birth at home widely available in the US. To this end, she was a founding member of: The Midwives Alliance of North America (open to midwives of all educational backgrounds), whom she served as Pacific Regional Representative and Education Committee Chair for five years. The North American Registry of Midwives NARM (administers the direct-entry credential of Certified Professional Midwife), for whom she called the initial meeting to develop the certification process, gathering midwife representatives from 40 states. The Midwifery Education Accreditation Council MEAC (accrediting body for direct-entry midwifery programs), whom she served as President for one term and for four years on the Board of Directors.

It’s time to wake up and unplug from the confusion around diabetes and “managing” symptoms. Dr. Kevin Wall sits down with registered nurse and metabolic health educator Yvette Oxford to expose what’s happening behind the curtain of diabetes care—and to share a simple, common-sense path to reverse course. From insulin resistance to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, and cardiovascular risk, Yvette explains how food choices, fasting windows, muscle training, and targeted nutraceuticals can flip your body back to fat-fuel, quiet cravings, and restore metabolic health. Health is simpler than you think—here’s how to start. What we cover Why type 1 and type 2 are different diseases requiring different approaches The business of “eat, inject, repeat” vs. real reversal Insulin as a fat-storage signal (and how to turn it down) The 4 keystones: prioritize protein, don’t fear healthy fats, time-restrict eating, and therapeutically reduce carbs Why many adults do best around ≤20g net carbs/day during a reset Metformin, GLP-1s, and what lifestyle can replace or reduce Metabolic links to PCOS, ED, fatty liver, hypertension, and “type 3” (Alzheimer’s) risk A practical metabolic reset you can begin this week Hope stories: A1c down, triglycerides down, HDL up, waistlines down   Guest Bio: Yvette Oxford is a registered nurse and metabolic health educator with a rare 360° view of the system—spanning elite sports massage, hospital bedside care, ER/trauma, diabetes device training, and pharmaceutical sales. After years inside traditional pathways, she returned to wellness education to help people reverse the patterns driving type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease. Yvette specializes in insulin resistance, therapeutic carb reduction, fasting strategies, and evidence-informed nutraceutical support. She coaches clients on reading labs, building muscle-centric nutrition, and asking the right seven questions at the doctor’s office—so patients stop outsourcing their health and start taking it back.   Resources: You’re Not Broken - You’re Blocked.

Infertility is skyrocketing—but forcing the body with drugs and procedures isn’t the only path. Dr. Kevin sits down with fertility specialist and functional medicine practitioner Dr. Mandy Patterson to unpack simple, science-backed steps that restore health, rebalance hormones, and improve the body’s readiness for pregnancy—while protecting long-term health for mom and baby What They Cover: Why infertility is rising and how modern interventions can create new risks A better first question: What’s this doing to my body long-term? Mandy’s story: severe preeclampsia, a micro-preemie, and the journey to five healthy pregnancies The big drivers: insulin resistance, nutrient gaps, gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, toxic burden, chronic stress Breakfast that stabilizes blood sugar (and why “pumpkin muffin + iced drink” backfires) Easy swaps that matter (ditch soda → add quality electrolytes, protein-forward meals) PCOS basics: low progesterone, anovulation, and where bioidentical progesterone can help (with clinical supervision) Pelvic mechanics: why chiropractic/myofascial work and adhesion therapy can unlock fertility Labs with purpose: how standard bloodwork + advanced testing (stool, HTMA, food sensitivity, genetics) guide targeted protocols Timelines & hope: many women can meaningfully turn things around in 3–4 months Guest Bio: Mandy Patterson is a naturopathic doctor, functional medicine practitioner, fertility specialist, and mom of six who helps high-performing women and couples overcome hormone and fertility challenges so they can create the families and the lives they’ve dreamed of.

Dr. Wall wraps our mental health series with a provocative question: could mold exposure and parasites be fueling anxiety, depression, brain fog, even memory issues? Dr. Wall connects the dots between mycotoxins, immune inflammation, neurotransmitter disruption, nutrient theft, and practical next steps to reclaim clarity. Key Takeaways Vitamin G recap: Gratitude and depression/anxiety can’t coexist—make gratitude a daily “dose.” Your mess = your stress: Clutter and disorganization raise stress hormones, disrupt sleep, and worsen mental health. Mold 101: Prolonged exposure → immune activation + inflammation, mycotoxins that disrupt neurotransmitters, worsened allergies/asthma → lower oxygenation and higher anxiety. Parasites & mood: Direct neuro-invasion, chronic immune activation, nutrient theft (B-vitamins, omega-3s), and even behavior manipulation can present like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and memory issues. What to do: Identify and remediate sources of moisture/mold (consider professional testing; in stubborn cases, relocation may be necessary). Kill & clear: Structured parasite protocols; then binders/detox support. Rebuild brain nutrition: Omega-3s, B-complex, magnesium, zinc, iron (as indicated), vitamin D + sunlight exposure (see prior “light” episode). Keep it simple: food, water, sunlight, order—then targeted support. Resources:  Liver detox support: PushCatch Liver Detox Parasite support: CellCore Para 1 & Para 2.

Clutter isn’t just annoying—it quietly elevates stress chemistry, disrupts sleep, and bleeds time, money, and joy. Dr. Kevin Wall welcomes professional organizer Dena Wall (yes, his better half) to break down how disorganization fuels anxiety and what simple, repeatable systems restore clarity, calm, and health. They discuss:  Clutter → cortisol: visual mess fuels low-grade fight/flight, anxiety, inflammation, and poor sleep. Outer space mirrors inner state: changing your environment helps change your mindset and follow-through. Disorganization is expensive: duplicates, missed bills, and constant re-buys add up fast. Relationships suffer: embarrassment, lateness, and constant chaos push people away. Dena’s Core Systems (5) Night-before plan: time-boxed schedule with A (must) and B (nice) tasks. Weekly meals posted: visible board ends “what’s for dinner?” and takeout creep. Chore cadence: same jobs on the same days = less decision fatigue. Mail triage station: trash • read-later • to-do/pay (process only when you can act). “Put the house to bed”: 5–10 minute nightly reset (sinks/counters clear, quick tidy). Guest Bio: Dena Wall is a professional organizer and systems strategist with 20+ years of experience helping families, small businesses, and healthcare clinics create calm, efficient spaces that support healthier lives. She’s been integral to keeping AFC Physical Medicine operations streamlined, and she coaches clients to build simple, sustainable routines—from nightly “house to bed” resets to mail triage that ends late fees. Dena holds degrees in Public Relations and Business, is a published author (with a new book releasing soon), and believes organization is a practical pathway to lower stress, better relationships, and greater purpose. When she’s not labeling a pantry that would make Pinterest proud, she’s serving her community, meal-planning, and making order feel doable (and even fun).   Resources: Mail station with 3 bins: Trash • Read-Later • To-Do/Pay Weekly meal board (chalkboard/whiteboard on the wall) Family paperwork baskets by person/child Nightly “house to bed” checklist (counters, sink, quick tidy) Timer method (15-minute sprints → 17 → 20 minutes) Closet hanger test + 1-in, 1-out clothing rule Professional organizer: typical rates $50–$100/hr Contact to inquire/ask Dena a question: https://www.drkevinwall.com/send-us-your-questions   Connect with Dr. Wall: Website: https://www.drkevinwall.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/unpluggedhealthcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.kevinwall/ Twitter: ​​https://x.com/drkevinwall YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.KevinWall   Disclaimer: The content provided in this health podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Dr. Wall is kicking off a series on mental health, depression, anxiety, and the growing sense of hopelessness, and starting with a powerful, free intervention: gratitude. Mike calls it “Vitamin G.” From death-row forgiveness (Anthony Ray Hinton) to wartime resilience (Corrie ten Boom, Dietrich Bonhoeffer), they explore how shifting from anger and bitterness to everyday thankfulness can change your brain chemistry, your relationships, your immune system, and your story. What you’ll learn: Why gratitude and depression don’t coexist—and how “Vitamin G” raises your mental baseline The brain science in plain English: Gratitude practices can boost dopamine and serotonin Forgiveness, bitterness, and your body: how your inner life shows up as real symptoms Gratitude in conflict: the 3-thanks reset that changes your tone, body language, and outcomes “Thermostat vs. thermometer”: setting the atmosphere at home, work, church, and community Simple nightly practice that compounds into resilience and joy Resources: Anthony Ray Hinton — The Sun Does Shine: (wrongfully imprisoned; radical forgiveness and freedom) Corrie ten Boom — The Hiding Place: (the “fleas” story and gratitude in hardship) Dietrich Bonhoeffer — biographies/films on courage and joy through trials Johns Hopkins & Mayo Clinic — plain-language articles and studies linking forgiveness/gratitude to lower blood pressure, better sleep, improved mood, and stronger immunity Rice Broocks - God's Not Dead Guest Bio: Mike Gowans is an international speaker, missionary, coach, and consultant who has served across India, Africa, South America, Latin America, and here in the U.S. He pastors two churches in Arizona’s Valley and collaborates closely with Rice Broocks (author behind God’s Not Dead). After four decades of counseling and ministry, Mike champions “Vitamin G”—a daily gratitude practice that transforms minds, relationships, and communities.

Health isn’t complicated, but water sure feels like it these days.
