  • How Modern Life Fuels Parasite Infections

    How Modern Life Fuels Parasite Infections
    Jan 7 2026
    If you’ve been eating clean, following all the health advice, and still feel inflamed, exhausted, or ignored by doctors- this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about your body. In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how parasites, candida, mold, and modern toxins might be the hidden culprits behind chronic illness. Kim Rogers, known as the "Worm Queen," shares her powerful journey from near-death to radical health transformation- and why parasite cleansing may be the missing link in Western health. Key Takeaways: → Parasites can contribute to chronic illness, brain fog, and fatigue without showing up in standard tests. → Modern lifestyles make us ideal hosts for parasites by disrupting natural metabolic cycles. → Anti-parasitic foods and herbs can prevent and manage infections naturally. → Many cultures still cleanse for parasites regularly- unlike in Western medicine. → True healing often begins by reclaiming sovereignty over your own body and lifestyle. Quotes from Kim Rogers: "I almost died in 2019- and parasites were one of the biggest root causes." "Candida is a parasite. It's feeding off you, fermenting in your body- and most people don’t even know it." "Modern life has made it safer for parasites. We’ve lost the natural rhythms that used to keep them in check." About Kim Rogers: Kim Rogers is a former medical academic and curriculum designer turned holistic health advocate known as “The Worm Queen.” After surviving over a decade of chronic illness, 13 surgeries, and misdiagnoses, she uncovered parasites and environmental toxins as key root causes of her health collapse. Now the founder of RogersHood Apothecary and host of What’s Eating U?, Kim educates millions on parasite cleansing, detox, and restoring health through natural means.

  • Fix Screen Fatigue and ADHD Symptoms with Eye Training

    Fix Screen Fatigue and ADHD Symptoms with Eye Training
    Dec 31 2025
    What if your brain fog, ADHD symptoms, or vision decline weren’t inevitable—but reversible with the right kind of eye-brain training? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how modern screen use, sedentary lifestyles, and even childhood education systems are damaging our vision—and how that damage affects mental clarity, emotional regulation, and long-term health. Neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum reveals why 20/20 vision isn’t the real goal, and how retraining the way we see the world can radically improve focus, performance, and quality of life. Key Takeaways: → Vision is more than seeing clearly—it's about how the brain processes and responds to the world. → Most people suffer from avoidable or reversible functional vision issues due to modern lifestyles. → “Eye push-ups” and vision training can delay or reverse the need for reading glasses. → Kids are often misdiagnosed with ADHD or dyslexia when the root issue is visual processing. → Expanding peripheral awareness reduces stress and enhances performance in sports, speaking, and daily life. Quotes from Dr. Bryce Appelbaum: ● “When vision gets locked up, so too does thinking and behavior.” ● “So much of what we label as learning or attention disorders are actually hidden vision problems.” ● “Vision is the dominant sense for guiding performance, and we’re just starting to understand how to train it.” About Dr. Bryce Appelbaum: Dr. Bryce Appelbaum is a pioneering neuro-optometrist and founder of VisionFirst, with a mission to change the way the world sees. He’s known for helping professional athletes recover from concussions, children regain focus, and adults reverse screen-related vision decline. Through his online platform ScreenFit and in-person brain-based vision training programs, Dr. Appelbaum is leading a global movement to reframe vision as a powerful tool for cognitive performance and emotional resilience.

  • How Biohacking Family and Ancestral Wisdom Are Reshaping Health

    How Biohacking Family and Ancestral Wisdom Are Reshaping Health
    Dec 24 2025
    What if the future of health, family, and success isn’t about choosing between tradition and technology—but integrating both to build a wildly better life? In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how a once-315-pound entrepreneur and his health-obsessed partner turned their personal health crises into powerful family transformations, award-winning documentaries, and a bold rethinking of what it means to truly thrive in the modern world. Together, they challenge the biohacking status quo, call out the flaws in traditional education, and share the essential mindset shift every health seeker needs to make. Key Takeaways: → Why long-term health begins with foundational biology—not fast fixes. → How their family overcame obesity, hormone imbalances, and misdiagnosed childhood illness. → The truth about homeschooling, screen time, and raising free-thinking kids. → What most people get wrong about biohacking, testing, and coaching. → How to stay rooted in ancient wisdom while embracing modern wellness tools. Quotes from Anthony Lolli: "To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Everyone in the health space thinks their tool is the answer—but you’ve got to do the work and figure out what really works for you." "Self-help books don’t help if you can’t help yourself. I needed a coach to break through—and most people do." "If you want to be a pro at health, just like a pro athlete, you need a pro coach. One size does not fit all." Quotes from TereZa Lolli: "They told me our son had autism. But after nine misdiagnoses, we found out it was mold and glyphosate. You have to become your own health detective." "Biohacking is only powerful when it's personalized. Your DNA, your toxins, your protocols—it has to be built for you." "I grew up in Armenia with no screen time and no doctors. That childhood taught me creativity, discipline, and self-trust—and that’s what I want for my kids." About Anthony and TereZa Lolli: Anthony and TereZa Lolli are media entrepreneurs and health revolutionaries behind a growing collection of life-changing documentaries, including From Fat Lolli to Six Pack Lolli, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Biohack Yourself. After transforming their own lives and those of their children, they’ve become leading voices in the movement to merge ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge wellness, and they continue to share real, actionable health knowledge through film, print, and family-led media.
