In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Brandy Cummings, DCN—a former blackjack dealer turned clinical nutritionist who's anything but conventional. Dr. B shares her deeply personal journey through illness, infertility, and being overlooked by the medical system—experiences that ultimately fueled her passion for root cause-focused nutrition and holistic healing.

After suffering a devastating pregnancy loss due to severe mold exposure, Dr. Cummings dove headfirst into the world of cellular health. Her research into chronic illness uncovered overlooked culprits like parasites, mold toxicity, reactivated viruses, and nervous system dysregulation—conditions often dismissed by mainstream medicine.

Now armed with a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition and a mission to empower women through personalized, functional care, Dr. B is helping others reclaim their health with real food, deep investigation, and heart. She lives in Idaho with her husband and two daughters, homeschools, and proudly prioritizes steak over quinoa.
