Episode 256 of the Fit Father Project podcast is an eye‑opening conversation with Kim Rogers, of RogersHood, known online as the “Worm Queen.” Kim shares with Dr. Anthony Balduzzi how a lifelong struggle with endometriosis, surgeries, and undiagnosed Lyme led her to a viral parasite‑cleanse journey—and a mission to help others. Kim explains the real‑world prevalence of parasites and why the common numbers likely underreport the problem due to testing blind spots. She breaks down the landscape: microscopic protozoa (e.g., Giardia, D. fragilis, Crypto), visible nematodes (roundworms, flukes, tapeworms, pinworms), Candida overgrowth, and Lyme—and how these often stack with heavy metals and mold to drive symptoms from gut issues to mood changes and cravings.

We dig into how parasites hijack behavior, the candida–sugar loop, and the often‑misunderstood toxoplasma story beyond just cats. Kim outlines a practical framework for cleansing: kill → bind → evacuate, including why binders are non‑negotiable, what biofilm is, and how her Parafiy/Parafide Kit (three tinctures + a binder) sequences herbs like wormwood, clove, cilantro (for metals), and more to make the process simple and tolerable. We also cover lifestyle support—movement, lymph flow, stress reduction, and smart food add‑ins (pumpkin seeds, garlic, cilantro, dandelion root).

Kim also shines a light on mold—how it brain‑fogged her life, how to suspect it, and why you should address the source (home, RVs, bathrooms, slow leaks) while using targeted support. She discusses water and pet exposures, why some municipal testing misses nematodes, and simple habits to stay proactive—like running a 30‑day cleanse 3–4×/year, especially around travel, sushi nights, lake swims, or stressful seasons.

We wrap with practical food and product tips: daily binders and minerals (she likes fulvic/humic support—her kit even uses a fulvic foot soak), probiotic foods like Coconut Cult, and gut‑soothing marshmallow root treats. If you’re over 40, love sushi, have pets, or feel stuck with “mystery” symptoms, this one gives you a grounded plan to test, cleanse, and rebuild—without fear.

Key Takeaways:

  • Parasites, candida, mold, and heavy metals often co-exist
  • Visible worms are only part of the picture; protozoa are very common
  • The cleanse framework is kill → bind → evacuate, with binders being essential
  • Biofilm breakdown is necessary to expose hidden organisms
  • Cilantro and other herbs can support heavy metal detox
  • Sushi, raw produce, and undercooked meats are common parasite exposures
  • Pets, ponds, lakes, and unfiltered water are major risk factors
  • Running a 30-day cleanse three to four times per year is recommended
  • Movement, lymph flow, and stress reduction improve outcomes
  • Candida drives sugar cravings; diet adjustments are key
  • Mold can change mood and behavior; addressing sources is critical
  • Simple foods like garlic, clove, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro support cleansing
  • Regular water and air testing can reveal hidden exposures
  • Fulvic and humic minerals provide support and binding capacity
  • Binders should always accompany anti-parasitic herbs or foods
