Chronic symptoms don’t always need complex solutions, and your wellness journey doesn’t have to start with prescriptions.
Dr. Myrto Ashe joins Dr. Regina Druz to talk about how simple, cost-negative health interventions can spark powerful change. A leader in functional medicine and author of The Simple Science of Wellness, Dr. Ashe shares her personal health journey—from managing asthma and joint pain to helping her child through chronic illness—by turning to holistic health practices like intermittent fasting, a gluten-free diet, and stress relief tools grounded in science.
In this conversation, she breaks down easy health tips anyone can try, including the fasting mimicking diet (inspired by Dr. Valter Longo), journaling for brain health and emotional regulation, and the tapping solution, also known as emotional freedom technique, for anxiety and cortisol management. Together, she and Dr. Druz explore how lifestyle changes improve mind-body health, boost the immune system, and support everything from blood pressure to gut health and even autoimmune conditions.
They also touch on lesser-known but high-impact strategies, like improving indoor air quality with an air filter to support heart health and cognitive function, and why preventative health doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated.
If you’re looking for natural healing, health transformation, or practical health hacks that fit real life, this interview is packed with wellness strategies that go beyond medicine and deliver lasting vitality.
