[Ai assist:] In this episode of Inner Skilled I'm joined by Kim Rogers (known online as "The Worm Queen" of RogersHood Apothecary) for an eye-opening conversation on the overlooked impact of parasites, mold, and Lyme disease on human health.

After navigating severe health challenges, multiple surgeries, and chronic illness, Kim turned to natural medicine, functional herbs, and medicinal mushrooms like Amanita muscaria to reclaim her well-being. Today, she shares her personal journey from western medicine educator to holistic health advocate, diving deep into how parasites transfer, how biofilms protect hidden infections, and how targeted herbal cleansing protocols support true root-cause healing.

In this conversation, we cover:

- Kim’s journey from chronic illness to holistic healing

- How parasites, mold, and Lyme disease interact in biofilms

- Why standard testing often misses parasitic infections

- Common pathways of transmission (pets, water, food)

- Practical steps for natural parasite cleansing and lymphatic support
