The Dr. Josh Axe Show

You Were Lied To About Seed Oils! The Truth About Butter, Tallow & Olive Oil

For decades, Americans were told to replace butter with seed oils. Then the internet swung the other direction and declared seed oils a “mitochondrial toxin.” But what if both sides are missing the real problem?
 
In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the seed oil debate using the studies on both sides — including data showing higher linoleic acid intake was associated with 15% lower cardiovascular deaths and 21% lower heart disease, while other trials suggest replacing saturated fat with omega-6-rich oils may increase cardiovascular risk.

Nature’s Ozempic: Eat These Foods To Kill Cravings & Burn Fat!

What if you could naturally make your own version of Ozempic every time you eat the right meal? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe breaks down the exact foods, supplements, probiotics, and meal timing strategies that help your gut activate GLP-1, the hormone that tells your brain you’re full, steadies blood sugar, and shuts down cravings.
 
Millions of people are spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month on GLP-1 drugs, but Dr. Axe says the real “Nature’s Ozempic” starts in your grocery store — with protein, fiber, polyphenols, fermented foods, and berberine.

The Shocking Reason Your Anxiety, Brain Fog & Bloating May Start in Your Gut

What if the anxiety, brain fog, cravings, and inflammation you’re trying to fix didn’t start in your brain, hormones, or immune system — but in the trillions of bacteria living inside your gut? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe reveals the hidden chain reaction that can begin with low fiber, antibiotics, stress, and ultra-processed food — and may end in leaky gut, poor nutrient absorption, mood issues, obesity, autoimmune disease, and chronic inflammation.

Many people are doing all the "right" things—eating healthy, taking supplements, exercising, and prioritizing sleep—yet still struggle with chronic fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, digestive issues, hormone imbalances, skin problems, and unexplained symptoms. What if the real culprit is a hidden infection?
In this episode of The Dr. Josh Axe Show, Dr. Josh Axe sits down with Dr. Chris Motley to uncover how chronic infections can quietly impact nearly every system in the body. Together, they explore the connection between mold toxicity, Lyme disease, parasites, Candida overgrowth, H. pylori, viruses, and other hidden pathogens—and how these infections may be contributing to symptoms that conventional testing often overlooks.
You'll learn how infections affect the brain, gut, thyroid, immune system, hormones, and metabolism, along with practical natural strategies to support healing. Dr. Motley shares insights on herbal protocols, targeted nutrition, detoxification support, immune-strengthening therapies, and lifestyle practices designed to help address root causes and restore health from the inside out.
If you've been searching for answers to persistent symptoms and want to better understand the hidden factors that may be impacting your health, this conversation is packed with valuable insights and actionable takeaways.

The Hormone Expert: The Hidden "Gut Bacteria" Destroying Your Hormones!

You have been told that weight gain, crippling anxiety, and hot flashes are just a "normal" part of getting older. But what if your menopausal symptoms are actually a warning sign that your gut and liver are failing to detoxify your body? And what if the unresolved trauma from your childhood is physically aging your ovaries right now?  
In this episode, nurse practitioner and bestselling author Cynthia Thurlow exposes the clinical realities of perimenopause and menopause. We break down the "Estrobolome"—the hidden collection of gut bacteria responsible for removing estrogen from your body—and explain why common constipation is causing toxic hormones to recirculate and drive estrogen dominance.  
Cynthia also reveals why millions of women are prescribed synthetic thyroid medications (like Synthroid) that their bodies literally cannot use, and outlines the exact nutritional and supplemental protocols (including Creatine, Magnesium, and Myo-inositol) required to truly repair your endocrine system.

Complete Guide to Healing Leaky Gut Naturally | Dr. Josh Axe

You have been told your chronic fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are just "stress" or IBS. But what if a Harvard medical discovery proved that a single biological switch in your stomach is actually the root cause of every symptom you are experiencing? Your gut lining is only one cell thick, and right now, it might be tearing apart.
Uncover the exact biological mechanism behind "Leaky Gut" (intestinal permeability) and why it is the true driver behind autoimmune diseases, thyroid failures, and even neurological conditions like autism and anxiety. We explore the 2000 Harvard discovery of Zonulin—the protein switch that opens your gut junctions—and the exact environmental triggers forcing it open.  I break down the terrifying truth about how chronic stress alters your gut bacteria in just two hours, and how daily exposure to Glyphosate (Roundup) is starving your beneficial microbes. Finally, I reveal my exact 6-step clinical protocol to permanently seal your gut lining, including the specific amino acids (L-Glutamine), minerals (Zinc Carnosine), and soil-based probiotics required for total cellular repair.

What the Bible Says About HEALING Leaves | Jordan Rubin x Dr. Axe

In 2008, Jordan Rubin was the CEO of one of the largest natural health companies in the world when he was diagnosed with a fast-growing, metastatic cancer and given just 90 days to live. Instead of accepting a death sentence, he fired his oncologist, locked himself away for 40 days, and developed one of the most comprehensive spiritual and physical healing protocols ever documented.
In this episode, we dive into the untold secrets of ancient medicine. We explore why unhealed emotional trauma and unforgiveness act as severe cellular toxins, and why repenting is just as crucial as detoxing your liver. We also decode the forgotten science of "healing leaves"—explaining how the specific tannins found in blackberry, raspberry, and oak leaves can physically tighten leaky gut and reverse chronic digestive disease.
