In this unforgettable episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West sits down with cowboy, restaurateur, NASA scientist, real estate mogul, and all-around life wrangler James Billman. From getting bucked by horses (but not bucked off) to losing half a million dollars in three days—and still coming back stronger—James shares raw, real stories of resilience, reinvention, and relentless belief.

You’ll hear how affirmations, a good ribeye, a six-day fast, and a vision board with a helicopter helped James go from broken pelvis to breakthrough living. Whether you’re a patient, a practitioner, or just someone facing life’s rodeo, this episode will inspire you to stop living by default and start living by design.

Saddle up for a wild ride through health, hardship, and high-performance mindset—and remember: it’s not over until you win.

In this powerful episode of Healing Beyond Your Diagnosis, Dr. Jason West sits down with one of his most inspiring patients, Ryan Durand—a man who stared down a multiple sclerosis diagnosis and said, “No, thank you.” What began with a numb tongue and a shotless basketball game turned into a rollercoaster of MRIs, misdirection, and misguided advice. Told there was no hope beyond pharmaceuticals, Ryan defied conventional wisdom and built a new path—one paved with faith, food, family, and functional medicine.

From Hot Pockets to plant-based power, from being dismissed by neurologists to finding purpose at the West Clinic, Ryan’s story is an honest, uplifting, and often humorous account of reclaiming health when the world said it couldn’t be done. Discover how Vitamin H (hope), lifestyle changes, infusion therapy, protomorphogens, and a relentless willpower helped Ryan regain his health—and how it just might help you or someone you love.

If you or someone you know is battling MS or any autoimmune diagnosis, this episode is proof that you are not your disease.

Tune in, be inspired, and remember: you don’t need a perfect body to live a powerful life.

What happens when patients from all over the world show up with different diagnoses—but the same story of pain, confusion, and medical dismissal? Dr. Jason West shares his journey from treating mystery illnesses to recognizing the hidden culprit: Lyme disease—the Great Imitator.

In this gripping episode of Healing Beyond Diagnosis, Dr. West reveals how Lyme doesn’t play by the rules, mimicking dozens of other conditions like MS, fibromyalgia, ALS, rheumatoid arthritis, and more. He walks through the moment the dots connected, the tools he uses beyond the broken CDC model, and why healing Lyme isn’t about a single antibiotic—it’s about rebuilding the entire person.

This episode is for anyone who’s been misdiagnosed, unheard, or stuck in a system that keeps failing. It's for the warriors who know something’s wrong and refuse to be dismissed. And it’s for the practitioners ready to think differently.

Healing is possible—but only when you treat the person, not just the infection.
