In this episode, Angie McGough, NP at Thrivelab, interviews Kim Rogers, known as the “Worm Queen” and founder of Rogershood, about the hidden health threats posed by parasites, worms, candida, toxins, and the importance of regular cleansing. Kim explains how parasites—organisms that feed off their host—can affect nutrient absorption and overall health. This can impact essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium, which play critical roles in hormonal balance.

Kim shares insights into her Rogershood parasite cleanse kit, designed to help people remove parasites, worms, candida, and heavy metals. For anyone experiencing unexplained digestive issues, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety or persistent health concerns, a gentle parasite cleanse such as the Parafy kit from Rogershood may be worth considering. Kim reminds listeners that while parasites can seem intimidating, understanding and managing them is empowering, bringing us one step closer to a healthier, more resilient body.
