PARASITES: What’s Actually Living Inside You? The Truth About Symptoms, Testing & Cleanses with The Worm Queen, Kim Rogers
59m | Sep 24, 2026#172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen.
We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped.
We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you.
Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one.
Here's what we get into:
