What if the root cause of your symptoms isn’t in your head – but hiding in your environment, your mouth, or even your past trauma? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jessica Peatross, a brilliant integrative medicine physician who left conventional medicine after seeing firsthand how often patients were dismissed, misdiagnosed, and left without answers. Together, we explore what’s really behind “mystery illnesses” – from mold, parasites, and stealth infections to unresolved trauma and toxic dental work. We also talk about why drainage is the missing piece in most detox protocols, how to know if a parasite cleanse is right for you, and why emotional healing has to be part of any long-term wellness plan. Dr. Peatross is one of the most thoughtful voices in root-cause medicine, and I’m so excited to share this conversation with you.

Dr. Jessica Peatross is a distinguished medical doctor specializing in integrative medicine and  health. With a passionate commitment to patient-centered care and a holistic approach to healing, Dr. Peatross has established herself as a leading advocate for comprehensive wellness practices. Dr. Peatross earned her medical degree from the University of Louisville and completed her residency training in Internal medicine. Her journey into integrative medicine began early in her career, driven by a desire to explore alternative modalities that complement traditional medical practices. This led her to pursue additional training in functional medicine, nutritional therapy, ozone, Gerson therapy, biological medicine, and mind-body medicine, enriching her ability to offer personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of illness. She transitioned from a 7-year tenure as a board-certified hospitalist to specialize in functional medicine, focusing on Lyme disease, mold, and environmental toxicities. She founded Aegis Formulas, a root cause supplement company, and Wellness Plus, a holistic health practice dedicated to integrative wellness. Recently launching a successful virtual clinic, Dr. Peatross is dedicated to solving medical mysteries and empowering patients through comprehensive, personalized care.
