Dr. Ashley Beckman — Doctor of Chinese Medicine, acupuncturist, and functional wellness expert — joins us to talk about the hidden sources of burnout, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, and unexplained symptoms that so many women face today.

Dr. Ashley shares her personal healing journey, beginning with severe chemical sensitivity, joint pain, and autoimmune-like symptoms that went undiagnosed by conventional medicine. Her search for answers led her through homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and ultimately the discovery of mold toxicity and Lyme disease as major root causes behind her health collapse.

We explore:

• The truth about mold exposure
  How mold silently impacts the brain, skin, hormones, mood, immune system, and even childhood conditions like eczema, OCD, and tics.
• The misunderstood link between mold, Lyme, Epstein-Barr, autoimmune symptoms, and chronic burnout
  And why mold often must be addressed first before heavy detox protocols.
• The nervous system piece
  How mold disrupts safety signals, creates internal chaos, and why regulating the nervous system is foundational for recovery.
• Real self-care vs. “performance” self-care
  And how many women unintentionally burn themselves out trying to heal.

Chad Ayers, business owner and certified environmental consultant with PureHealth Mold Inspections, joins us to unpack the hidden health risks inside our homes — and how many healing journeys stall when the home environment isn’t safe.
In this conversation, you’ll discover:
•What’s missing from most mold inspections — and why standard air-sampling often misses serious problems.
•How hidden mold and poor home construction trap spores and emit microtoxins that keep your nervous system in crisis.
•The inexpensive tools and targeted inspection methods experts use to uncover mold even when it’s behind a wall or under a floor.
•What symptoms might be signaling more than just stress — and how your body, environment, and health all connect.
•Practical questions to ask when you suspect your home may be contributing to your health issues.
If you’ve felt frustrated by stalled healing, unexplained symptoms, or just haven’t been able to get well no matter what you try — this episode will challenge how you think about home, health, and recovery.

She thought she was doing everything right; raising 8 kids, working out, eating well, yet her body felt heavier, slower, and more out of control by the day. In this episode, I sit down with my sister Jenny to talk about what really changed when she said yes to the Living Light Reset.
Spoiler: it wasn't just about weight.
Yes, she lost 30 pounds. But more importantly, she found stability. Her moods leveled out. Her brain fog lifted. Her body finally felt like hers again. She stopped letting her kids eat off her plate and started reclaiming her right to take up space. She learned to rest, listen, and reset on every level.
This is for every woman in her 40s who thinks her body is falling apart.
It’s not. There’s another way.

Expect to learn:
•Why most chronic illness starts with organ dysfunction.
•How foundational medicine restores health before treatment.
•What makes supplements actually effective (and why most aren’t).

In this episode, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with Dr. Alan Linsdley, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who has worked with over 25,000 patients navigating Lyme disease, chronic infections, and long-term fatigue.
Together, they dive deep into the lingering mystery of Long COVID, exploring how the virus may not have fully left the body, how it hides in tissues, and how that can silently suppress the immune system, drain mitochondrial energy, and reawaken old infections like Lyme and Epstein-Barr.
This isn’t a conversation rooted in fear, it’s one built on awareness, hope, and restoration. Dr. Linsley shares practical ways to support recovery, from rebuilding mitochondrial health to reconnecting with simple, natural rhythms like sunlight, grounding, rest, and deep sleep.
If you’ve felt “off” since COVID, or you’ve struggled to regain the energy you once had, this episode will help you understand why, and remind you that your body can heal. 🌿
🎧 Listen now to learn:
• Why COVID may linger in tissues and suppress immune function
• How mitochondrial damage fuels long-term fatigue and inflammation
• The role of vitamin D, circadian rhythm, and sunlight in immune repair
• Practical ways to rebuild your body’s resilience and vitality

In this deeply human conversation, Dr. Randy Michaux sits down with Dr. Aimie Apigian, double board-certified physician, scientist, and author of The Biology of Trauma. We explored, how trauma lives not only in the mind but in the very cells of our body.

Dr. Aimie shares how adopting her son during medical school became the doorway to understanding trauma on a whole new level. What began as a desire to help a hurting child turned into her own awakening; a health collapse, a reckoning with disconnection, and a journey toward repair that changed everything she thought she knew about healing.

Together, they unpack what it really means to have a “trauma body,” how we can have trauma without ever labeling our experiences as such, and why completing the body’s cycles rather than overriding them is essential to freedom. From the physiology of fight, flight, and freeze to the quiet exhaustion of “functional freeze,” they reveal how patterns of disconnection and suppression show up in our daily lives.

The episode ends with a moving reflection from Seabiscuit, a horse trained to lose who rediscovered his power to run free and Dr. Aimie reminds us that the same possibility lives within each of us. We have not failed. We have simply forgotten how alive we can be.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your body still holds what your mind can’t explain, this conversation will meet you where you are with compassion, science, and hope.

In this episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy sits down with Paul Austin, entrepreneur, author, coach, and founder of The Third Wave
, a leading global resource on the intentional and skillful use of psychedelics for personal transformation and professional growth.

Together, they explore how psychedelics, when used with intention and support, can help us shed limiting beliefs, heal trauma, and reconnect with our true selves. Paul shares insights from history, modern research, and his own coaching practice to show how these medicines can be powerful tools for nervous system regulation, mental health, and long-term transformation.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The deep roots of psychedelic medicine — from ancient rituals with peyote, San Pedro, and psilocybin to modern clinical trials.
• The nervous system connection — how psychedelics reduce inflammation, improve neuroplasticity, and help rewire unhealthy patterns.
• Breaking free from old cycles — why many people experience a new ability to make conscious choices rather than repeat inherited behaviors.
• Integration matters most — why 90% of the real work comes after the journey, during the window of neuroplasticity where new habits can take hold.
• A new paradigm for healing — how MDMA- and psilocybin-assisted therapy are showing dramatically higher success rates for PTSD and depression compared to traditional medications.
• What’s ahead — the fast-moving landscape of legalization, clinical research, and training programs for practitioners.

Paul and Dr. Randy also talk about how psychedelics can spark meditation practices, cultivate presence, and help people move from reactivity to resilience — ultimately leading to healthier lives, relationships, and communities.
