Episode 121: Elizabeth Yarnell

The Hidden Inflammation Triggers Nobody Talks About

Hidden Inflammation, Parasites & Autoimmune Healing with Elizabeth Yarnell

Inflammation is at the root of nearly every chronic health condition, yet many of its most powerful triggers remain hidden in plain sight.

In this eye-opening episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Elizabeth Yarnell, a traditional naturopath who reversed her own multiple sclerosis diagnosis by addressing hidden inflammation, parasites, and toxic food additives that most people never think to question.

Elizabeth shares her powerful pain-to-purpose journey, from waking up blind in one eye and being told she’d likely be in a wheelchair within 10 years, to reclaiming her health by radically changing how she nourished her body and supported her immune system.

Together, Heather and Elizabeth expose the overlooked drivers of chronic inflammation, including parasites, “natural flavors,” citric acid, and ultra-processed foods and explain why symptom suppression without removing inflammatory triggers keeps people stuck in chronic illness cycles.

Key Topics Covered

• The link between chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease

• Elizabeth Yarnell’s personal journey with multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Why parasites are a massively underdiagnosed source of inflammation

• How parasites trigger immune dysfunction and autoimmune responses

• Why parasites don’t go away on their own and why testing often misses them

• The truth about “natural flavors” and FDA labeling loopholes

• How artificial and petroleum-based food chemicals stress the immune system

• Why citric acid is often derived from mold (aspergillus) not citrus

• The connection between food additives, leaky gut, and systemic inflammation

• How modern food chemistry fuels addiction, cravings, and chronic disease

• Why whole foods outperform supplements when it comes to healing

• How to start identifying and eliminating hidden inflammatory triggers

• Why education and label-reading are critical for long-term health

Episode 120:

In this episode of Bioenergetic Beats, host Heather Gray, sits down with renowned integrative physician Dr. Vincent Pedre to explore the hidden toxins quietly sabotaging gut health, brain function, and overall vitality.

Dr. Pedre shares his personal journey into functional medicine, from overcoming a fear of needles through breathwork and meditation to becoming a leading authority on gut-brain health. Together, they unpack how environmental toxins, mold exposure, food sensitivities, and mitochondrial dysfunction can drive chronic symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, inflammation, and digestive distress, often misattributed to aging or hormones.

Key Topics Covered:

The Gut–Brain Connection

Dr. Pedre explains how compromised gut health can drive brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, and cognitive decline through inflammation and nervous system disruption.

Hidden Toxins Impacting Health

The episode explores overlooked toxins, including glyphosate, mold, mycotoxins, contaminated foods, and environmental exposures, that quietly impair gut, brain, and mitochondrial function over time.

Mold, Gluten, and Inflammation

Mold exposure and gluten sensitivity are discussed as common triggers of gut disruption, immune activation, and neurological symptoms, often without obvious warning signs.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Aging

Toxins damage mitochondria, reducing energy and mental clarity. Dr. Pedre shares how targeted gut and mitochondrial support can reverse long-standing symptoms.

Functional Testing for Root-Cause Healing

The conversation highlights advanced functional labs, including stool testing, toxin screening, mitochondrial assessments, and hormone testing, to support personalized, root-cause care.

Burnout Recovery, Nervous System Healing & Women’s Health with Ashleigh Grave

Burnout is more than feeling tired; it’s a full-body shutdown that affects the nervous system, hormones, digestion, immunity, and emotional resilience. In this powerful episode of Bioenergetics Beat, host Heather Gray sits down with Ashleigh Grave, certified nutritional practitioner, holistic nutritionist, author, and former corporate banker, to unpack what burnout really looks like and how to begin healing. She now helps others understand the root causes of chronic stress and how to rebuild nervous system health.

Ashleigh shares her deeply personal journey from high-stress corporate banking to holistic nutrition after experiencing severe burnout that left her with chronic infections, nervous system collapse, thyroid dysfunction, and even loss of sensation in her leg. Her story highlights how burnout often develops slowly over the years and why so many people miss the early warning signs.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

The early signs of burnout that most people ignore, including loss of joy and chronic fatigue

How burnout impacts the nervous system, adrenals, thyroid, digestion, and immunity

Why women are especially vulnerable to burnout in hustle culture

The connection between people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, and nervous system overload

How digestive issues, dread of Mondays, and constant exhaustion may be burnout symptoms

Why rest without guilt is essential for healing

Simple, accessible tools to begin burnout recovery without overwhelm

Burnout, Women & the Nervous System

Heather and Ashleigh dive into how modern work culture conflicts with women’s natural biological rhythms. Ignoring cyclical needs, pushing through exhaustion, and prioritizing productivity over restoration can eventually lead to autoimmune issues, hormonal imbalances, and nervous system dysregulation. They also explore the loss of community support in modern society and how isolation contributes to burnout, especially for caregivers and high-achieving women.

Practical Burnout Recovery Tools Discussed:

Nervous system regulation techniques such as vagal toning, breathwork, humming, chanting, and EFT tapping

Cold exposure methods like placing hands under cold water or using ice packs on the chest to support vagus nerve activation

The importance of starting small with nutrition and lifestyle changes during burnout

Actively resting without guilt

Using frequency-based wellness tools to support calm and regulation
