Struggling With Symptoms No Doctor Can Explain? Could Be Your Genes | Kim Ressler Dec 12, 2025

Show notes

Kim Ressler searched for answers to her chronic issues for years. Finally, a friend turned her on to the world of nutrigenomics. What if there was a way to genetically determine what kind of supplements would address your methylation pathways, your mental health and your ability to focus? During this year’s Changing Life and Destiny conference in Dallas, Dr. Motley had a chance to sit down with Kim and learn how this works. Key Takeaways:

Nutrigenomics bridges the gap between genetics and nutrition, allowing for personalized health strategies.

Actionable genes can significantly influence our health and well-being, making genetic testing a vital tool.

Customized supplements based on genetic insights can simplify health management and improve outcomes.

Understanding our genetic makeup empowers us to make informed decisions about our health. There’s even genetic information to find out how well you deal with hangovers as you get older.

Chronic Cough + Trouble Breathing? Mold Might be the Cause Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

If you moved into a house and you’re finding chronic symptoms surfacing - chronic coughing, phlegm and trouble breathing - you could be dealing with sneaky, hidden mold. This episode breaks down what you can do from a holistic health perspective. Doctor Motley’s Recommendations:

------

Testing for mold toxins: Mycotoxin testing, OATS (Organic Acid Test) - https://mosaicdx.com/

Immunolytics - https://immunolytics.com/

As you remove yourself from mold, you want to make sure you’re having proper bowel movements. If you’re struggling in this area, colonics or coffee enemas are good options to explore (if you have leaky-gut type symptoms, take some bone-broth, L-glutamine and butyric acid).

If you’re blocked up, try magnesium oxide, Dr. Scholze’s intestinal formula (https://www.herbdoc.com/intestinal-formula-1).

Toxins like mold can weaken our immune systems, leaving us more susceptible to parasites. If this is you, give Kim Rogers’ Parafy kit a whirl. You can get 10% off here: https://shorturl.at/Gjpg5

Herbs that specifically help with mold

Morinda Supreme: https://shorturl.at/AmP3p

Smilax Supreme: https://shorturl.at/yTH9J

Binders like Bentonyte Clay or Charcoal

Scutallaria - Clears heat-toxin and inflammation, supports the Liver, and calms overactive immune responses: https://tinyurl.com/3a8rhs75
