In this episode of the Holistic Health Front podcast, we dive deep into the pivotal connections between autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, and holistic healing. Special guest Philip Hoare joins Tyler, Stephanie, and Andrea to challenge conventional wisdom in the world of health and wellness. Together, we peel back the layers on what truly causes autoimmune disease, the mysteries of the lymphatic system, and why detoxing the gut and supporting the liver might be your missing links.

We touch on personal stories, surprising health revelations, and a big apple cider vinegar debate—can this kitchen staple really improve your wellbeing, or are we missing the bigger picture? From leaky gut to the power of smoothies, from the role of probiotics to the controversies over digestive enzymes, this conversation doesn’t hold back on myths and misunderstandings in the wellness community.

If you’ve ever wondered how mindset, food, and natural detoxification weave together for vibrant health—or questioned what “alkalinity” truly means—this episode is for you. Get ready for some advanced tips, a few surprises, and practical insights that you can use right away.
