In today’s episode of the Discover Health Podcast, I sit down with Phillip Wilson, the visionary behind Relax Sauna, and one of the most passionate educators on far infrared light therapy in North America. For over 25 years, Phillip has traveled the world teaching how far infrared (FIR) light supports deep detoxification, mitochondrial energy, cellular repair, and chronic illness recovery.

If you’ve ever wondered why some people swear by infrared saunas for Lyme disease, mold illness, chronic fatigue, inflammation, and nervous system regulation, this episode explains why, in simple, practical terms.

We break down:

🔥 What makes far infrared different from traditional saunas

• Why FIR heats you from the inside out
• How it raises core temperature safely and efficiently
• Why detox pathways respond so well to light-based therapy

🌿 How FIR supports healing from chronic illness

• The connection between infrared light, mitochondria, and ATP
• How FIR helps remove mold toxins, heavy metals, and cellular waste
• Why people with Lyme and chronic infections often feel major relief

⚙️ The Relax Sauna advantage

• What makes their far infrared technology unique
• Why it heats up faster than most conventional infrared saunas
• The surprising stories Phillip has witnessed over 25+ years

❤️ For moms, families & people with limited time

Phillip and I talk about why far infrared therapy is one of the most accessible tools to support energy, reduce pain, and help your body recover—even if you're overwhelmed, short on time, or dealing with long-term stress.

Are EMFs and 5G quietly wrecking your family’s sleep, focus, and mood?
In this episode of the Discover Health Podcast, Dr. Joshua Sharp interviews Dr. Beverly Jensen, PhD (a long-time natural health advocate and EMF expert) about how wireless radiation, Wi-Fi, and smartphones are impacting our brains, hormones, and kids’ development… and what you can actually do about it.
We dig into:
⏱ In this conversation with Dr. Beverly Jensen, you’ll learn:

- Why EMF exposure (Wi-Fi, routers, 5G, cell phones, smart TVs, baby monitors) can trigger sleep problems, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and tinnitus
- How Beverly became EMF sensitive after spending months near a powerful router and what helped her recover
- Why children and pregnant moms are especially vulnerable to EMF radiation and screen time
- The link between screens, EMFs, and kids’ behavior (tantrums, attention issues, social skills, and emotional regulation)
- Why bedrooms must be EMF-safe zones for deep, healing sleep
- Beverly’s practical “tame the router” strategy (where to put your router, how to shield it, and why timers help)
- The surprising EMF sources most families overlook: smart meters, “shut-up toys,” baby monitors, smart TVs, and Bluetooth devices
- Simple first steps for overwhelmed moms to reduce EMF in the home this week
- How small daily choices around screens, phones, and notifications can transform your family’s nervous system and peace at home

👩‍👧‍👦 Who this episode is for

Have you ever walked into a family gathering and felt your chest tighten before anyone even spoke? That isn’t emotional weakness, it’s your nervous system scanning the environment for safety. In today’s episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down Polyvagal Theory in simple, practical terms and explains how your autonomic nervous system determines whether your body can heal… or whether it needs to protect you.

You’ll learn:
• Why your body shifts into fight-or-flight or shutdown even when nothing is “wrong”
• How chronic illness (Lyme, mold toxicity, MCAS, POTS, gut issues) gets worse when your body doesn’t feel safe
• Why holidays and family gatherings trigger old stress patterns
• How community, church, connection, and worship activate the ventral vagal healing state
• Simple tools to prepare your nervous system and avoid burnout this season
• A biblical view of healing in community and why isolation makes everything worse

If you want to understand how to regulate your nervous system, improve your stress response, and unlock deeper healing, this episode will help you in a powerful way.

Are you getting enough Vitamin D this winter? If you live in the northern U.S., work indoors, have darker skin, or deal with autoimmune or chronic health issues… the answer is probably no.

In this episode of the Discover Health Podcast, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down everything you need to know about Vitamin D3, K2, sun exposure, and how to protect your immune system during the winter months.

You’ll learn:
• Why 1 in 4 people are deficient in winter
• The REAL optimal vitamin D levels (not the outdated lab ranges)
• How vitamin D boosts immunity + reduces autoimmune flares
• Why seed oils block vitamin D activation
• The myth of “just get sun” — and the truth about the 37th parallel
• How much D3 you actually need (minimum 5,000 IU/day)
• Why K2 matters and how it protects your heart
• When to test and how to track progress
• The full 6-step “Winter D Action Plan”

If you want better immunity, more stable mood, fewer winter crashes, or better bone and heart health — this is your winter guide.

(As promised in the episode)

1. Test Your Baseline
Know your current serum 25(OH)D level before guessing your dose.

2. Set Your Goal
• Deficient: <30
• Insufficient: 30–50
• Borderline: 50–60
• Optimal: 60–80 (for immune + autoimmune support)

3. Supplement Daily
• D3: Minimum 5,000 IU/day
• K2 (MK-7): 100–200 mcg/day
• Take with a meal containing healthy fats.

4. Add Sun Intentionally
• Aim for 10–30 minutes midday when UVB is available.
• Remember: Northern states above the 37th parallel can’t make vitamin D Nov–Mar.

5. Optimize Your Diet
• Add: oily fish, egg yolks, mushrooms, grass-fed dairy
• Avoid: seed oils (soy, corn, sunflower, safflower)
• Use: butter, olive oil, ghee, coconut oil

6. Retest & Adjust
• Retest every 8–12 weeks
• Increase or maintain dose based on results

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp dives deep into the secret powerhouse nutrient Vitamin B1 (thiamine), a vitamin many are unknowingly deficient in. Discover how thiamine influences your energy, mood, brain function, and autonomic nervous system health, and why deficiency is linked to conditions like chronic fatigue, POTS, depression, anxiety, and more.

Learn about the best food sources, high-absorption supplement forms like benfotiamine and TTFD, and an important metabolic test (MVX Plus) that can reveal hidden deficiencies. Armed with clinical evidence and practical advice, this episode empowers you to recognize, prevent, and treat this often-overlooked nutrient gap for lasting health improvements.

What’s really going on when your labs say “normal,” but you still feel tired, foggy, and inflamed?
In this episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down MVX Plus—a simple blood test that measures the terrain of your health at the cellular level. You’ll learn how chronic, smoldering inflammation drives most modern illness, why traditional panels (cholesterol, liver enzymes, CBC/CMP) often miss early dysfunction, and how MVX pinpoints where the fire is starting so you can take targeted action.

What you’ll learn

Why inflammation is the common thread behind fatigue, brain fog, weight resistance, autoimmunity, and cardiovascular risk

The difference between pathology labs (find disease late) and terrain testing (find dysfunction early)

A plain-English tour of MVX: IVX (inflammation), MMX (metabolic malnutrition), and the overall MVX score

How mitochondria (your cells’ engines) power every organ—and what happens when they sputter

The 6 MVX analytes in simple analogies:

GlycA = the smoke alarm for chronic inflammation

Small HDL particles = the garbage trucks for detox

Citrate = the energy circuit inside the mitochondria

Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine (BCAAs) = the building blocks that reveal protein status, digestion, and insulin resistance

The surprising importance of Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and how MVX can hint when you need it
