Every single week, we hear the same thing from people in our clinic and even in our personal lives:

“I was told I can't lose weight without a GLP-1”

That belief alone says a lot about where we are as a society when it comes to health.

In this episode, Erica and Dillon dive into the overwhelming confusion surrounding weight loss today—from the pressure people feel to take medications, to the calories-in-calories-out narrative, the fear of red meat, and the constant push to “just eat more fiber.”

The problem isn’t that people aren’t trying hard enough.
The problem is that most people have been given completely conflicting advice for years.

We break down:
• Why so many people feel hopeless about weight loss
• The biggest myths keeping people stuck
• Why we don't count calories
• The truth about insulin resistance and metabolism
• The fear campaign against red meat and saturated fat
• How food has been engineered to be addictive
• How to simplify weight loss and finally understand where to start

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or frustrated trying to lose weight, this episode is for you.

Stop letting the noise keep you stuck.

• Whether silver harms the gut microbiome
• How Micronic Silver differs from traditional colloidal silver
• Concerns about silver toxicity and “turning blue”
• The role of ozone in healing and inflammation

In this episode, Dr. Colin Hickey, Braden Hicks, and Dillon Searcy have a conversation about something affecting more men than ever—low testosterone.

Testosterone levels are dropping at alarming rates, and while TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) is becoming more common, it’s not the only option—and for many, it’s not the first step that should be taken.

We break down what’s actually driving this trend, from chronic stress and poor sleep to nutrient deficiencies and lifestyle habits that are working against your hormones.

You’ll learn:
• The root causes behind low testosterone
• Why more men are turning to TRT—and when it may (or may not) be appropriate
• How nutrition, strength training, and recovery directly impact hormone levels
• The role chiropractic care plays in nervous system regulation and hormone optimization
• Practical, natural strategies men can start implementing immediately

If you’ve been feeling low energy, struggling with motivation, dealing with stubborn weight gain, or just not feeling like yourself—this episode is for you.

We also invite you to join us for our upcoming Testosterone & Male Optimization Event at Haven Chiropractic & Wellness on April 18th at 11:30 AM. This is a free event where we’ll go even deeper and give you actionable steps to take control of your health.

What if chiropractic care had nothing to do with just back pain… and everything to do with how your body actually functions?

In this episode of Diagnosis Redefined, Dillon Searcy and I sit down with the Drs. Colin and Kari Hickey at Haven Chiropractic and Wellness—the chiropractors we’ve partnered with to create a truly holistic healing space—to break down what chiropractic care really does in the body.

We dive into the benefits that most people never hear about, including its impact on fertility, anxiety, nervous system regulation, and even the prevention and management of chronic illness.

We also tackle some of the biggest myths that keep people from ever stepping into a chiropractic office—and why those misconceptions could be holding you back from healing.

If you’ve been told your symptoms are “normal,” or you feel like something is missing in your health journey, this episode will open your eyes to a completely different way of looking at care.

This is about more than symptom relief—this is about restoring function, supporting your nervous system, and giving your body the environment it needs to heal.

If you’re ready to stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause, this episode is for you.
