The Hidden Truth About Parasites: What’s Really Making You Sick with Brooke Reich

In this transformative episode of the Light Up Your Life Podcast, we sat down with Brooke Reich—an Integrative Health Practitioner, parasite expert, and a true warrior in the world of root-cause healing. Brooke opens up about her personal health journey, which includes navigating the trauma of six pregnancies in seven years, battling chronic illness, and overcoming emotional, physical, and financial hardship. Her story is one of resilience, determination, and deep healing—one that led her to uncover the often-overlooked world of parasites and the critical role they play in chronic health conditions.

Brooke takes us far beyond symptom management and quick fixes, diving into the why behind persistent fatigue, gut dysfunction, autoimmune issues, hormone imbalance, and more. She sheds light on how parasites—yes, the kind most people don’t even know they have—can be a major underlying cause of chronic illness. You’ll hear the latest research that connects parasitic infections to some of the most serious and misunderstood diseases of our time, including cancer, multiple sclerosis (MS), and diabetes. The science is compelling, and the implications are game-changing.
