Born out of her own struggle with a chronic seizure disorder that plateaued despite conventional and functional medicine approaches, Dr. Schultz shares how she came to identify vagus nerve dysfunction as a root cause of chronic illness — one that shows up as anxiety, depression, digestive disorders, and food sensitivities. She breaks down her three-phase healing process: an initial surface-level detox, a second &quot;insurance policy&quot; phase to prevent pathogens and toxins from returning, and a final rebuilding phase that uses whole-food-based supplementation to safely release deeply stored toxins like heavy metals. The conversation also covers the often-overlooked thymus gland and its role as a hub for the immune system, and how Chinese medicine&#39;s hot/cold herbal framework informs when and how these therapies should be used. Dr. Schultz closes with an encouraging message for anyone who feels they&#39;ve plateaued in their healing: there may be more layers of the body&#39;s story still left to address.</p><p>- - - - -</p><p><strong>About the Guest:</strong></p><p><strong>Dr. Erika Schultz, DACM,</strong> is a licensed acupuncturist and certified applied clinical nutritionist, and the creator of the trademarked Resiliency Method.
