Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The show delves into themes of trauma, spiritual awakening, and personal healing, with episodes discussing topics like whistleblowing in the medical system, the challenges of healing from complex trauma, and the transformative power of truth-telling in one's journey to reclaim their voice.

Host Michelle Katz — writer, artist, and award-winning producer — speaks with truth-tellers, mystics, doctors, and survivors who challenge the idea of “incurable.”
Through stories of awakening, consciousness, and radical self-healing, the show asks: What if illness is not the end of the story but the beginning of a new one? Join us as each episode unravels the mysteries of our current health crisis and redefines the boundaries of what is possible for the human body now.
What happens when you are extremely ill—but doctors dismiss you, gaslight you, or pretend the problem is something it’s not? This episode answers EVERY one of those CRAZY-MAKING questions you’ve been asking about detox, mercury, and Lyme.
In this episode of Broken & Healed, I sit down with Connie Fox, a board-certified Holistic Health Practitioner whose work grew out of her own devastating experience with severe mercury toxicity and Lyme disease.
Connie describes suddenly developing debilitating physical, neurological, and psychological symptoms despite having previously considered herself extremely healthy. After more than a year of searching for answers, a practitioner suggested she be tested for heavy metals—beginning what would ultimately become an eight-year healing journey.
Her search took her to more than 90 doctors and eventually to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, whose approach, Connie says, fundamentally changed the way she understood detoxification and helped her recover. She later became a licensed health practitioner herself and has worked with people struggling with metal toxicity since 2008.
This conversation is also deeply personal for me. Years ago, when I was extremely ill and learned that I had very high levels of mercury, I found Connie. She became one of the people who helped me navigate that period of my life.
Drawing on what she learned through that experience, Connie went on to develop her own approach to cellular restoration and detoxification. Today, she works with people navigating mercury and heavy-metal toxicity, with a particular focus on preparing and supporting the body before attempting to remove stored metals.
