  • The Root of Fatigue: How Functional Medicine Restores Energy and Reverses Fibromyalgia

    The Root of Fatigue: How Functional Medicine Restores Energy and Reverses Fibromyalgia
    Oct 22 2025
    In this conversation, Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner, author, and telemedicine pioneer—dives deep into one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern healthcare: chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. After 34 years in practice and more than two decades helping thousands of patients recover naturally, Dr. Murphree explains how exhaustion, pain, and brain fog are not isolated problems—they’re signals from a body in distress. He breaks down the root causes of fatigue, including poor sleep, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid imbalance, and mitochondrial depletion, and reveals why conventional medicine often misses the mark by focusing on symptom management rather than restoration. Through his experience in functional medicine, he outlines practical steps to restore energy, improve sleep, and reverse chronic fatigue, from magnesium and serotonin support to balancing hormones and reducing inflammation. You’ll also learn how chronic stress depletes essential nutrients, how poor diet fuels inflammation, and how targeted natural therapies can reset your body’s healing rhythm.

  • The Foundation of Health: Why Diet and Inflammation Determine Your Future

    The Foundation of Health: Why Diet and Inflammation Determine Your Future
    Oct 15 2025
    In this conversation, Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner, author, and telemedicine pioneer—shares the cornerstone principle behind lasting wellness: you can’t overcome chronic illness until you get healthy. After 34 years in practice and more than two decades specializing in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, Dr. Murphree distills what he’s learned from thousands of patients: modern medicine treats symptoms, but true recovery comes from addressing root causes. He explains how diet, inflammation, and stress form the underlying blueprint of most chronic conditions—and why the Standard American Diet (SAD) is one of the greatest contributors to disease today. Dr. Murphree also challenges common health myths about saturated fats, cholesterol, and dairy—and provides actionable strategies for regaining control of your health through nutrient-dense foods and sustainable lifestyle habits.

    Episode 9: Pain, Pain, Go Away, with Guest Leslie Parran
    Jul 25 2022
    Of all the health challenges people face one of the toughest is chronic pain.It is a fact that if you have chronic pain, only another person with chronic pain can truly understand how it feels. For many of you, it is frustrating to know you have pain but have little hope of a diagnosis, let alone relief. Many chronic conditions such as tension headaches, fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, and myofascial pain may be a result of CSS (Central sensitivity syndrome). It can also cause widespread and persistent pain and pain from touching (allodynia). This is one of many causes of pain. But there are numerous other causes that are often missed or mistreated. In an individual without chronic pain, receptors in our ligaments, muscles, skin, and joints detect tissue damage. This damage can be from inflammation, injury, or disease. Numerous neurotransmitters that exist in each cell send electrical impulses from the pain receptor, through the peripheral nerve, up the spinal cord, finally ending at your brain. When you suffer an injury, you may develop acute or “short-term” pain from inflammation or damage. Eventually, the acute pain subsides though the length of time it takes to heal varies based on your injury. The cause of acute pain is known and, therefore, the course it will take is usually predictable. If you think about a needle pricking your finger, you can see that the sensation is always the same. The pain goes from your finger, up your arm, and to your brain in relatively the same way. This is not the case with chronic pain.However, for many, the source of and answer too their chronic pain isn’t known.There are numerous causes of chronic pain. Many go unchecked and untreated.If you have issues with chronic or acute pain please take time to watch my interview with pain specialist Leslie Parran.

    Episode 8: Supporting Your Gastrointestinal Health, with Guest: John Dempster
    Apr 19 2022
    Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Loose Bowel Movements, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, HeartburnOne estimate is that 40% of the US population has some degree of esophageal reflux, with 20% of adults complaining of weekly episodes of heartburn and 7–10% complaining of daily symptoms. Esophageal reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions, allowing the backward flow of acid, bile, and other contents from the stomach into the esophagus. Fortunately there are some tried and true NATURAL remedies for heartburn. Irritable Bowel SyndromeOver 40 million Americans who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bowel movements are an important topic. Some experts report that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10–20% of the general population. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea, and/or hard or less frequent bowel movements or constipation. Gender plays a clear role as more than 80 percent of IBS patients are women between 20 and 55 years old. The financial burden of IBS is high. In the United States IBS results in an estimated $8 billion in direct medical costs and $25 billion in indirect costs annually. Again, fortunately there are some proven natural remedies for IBS. We discuss these in the podcast.
