As women move through midlife, changes in energy, digestion, and resilience often spark new questions about underlying health. Yet few consider that unnoticed parasites and lingering environmental toxins—such as mold or contaminated water—could be gradually undermining well-being.


This episode of The Natalie Tysdal Podcast is designed for midlife women who want clear, level-headed answers about toxins, parasites, and their real connection to common midlife symptoms. If you struggle with digestive discomfort, fatigue, bloating, or unexplained health shifts, this conversation addresses confusion around causes and practical steps to begin restoring balance.


More than a detox trend, this episode offers grounded, experience-backed information for women in their 40s and beyond—helping you make sense of what’s happening inside your body, why it matters now, and how evidence-based self-advocacy can support long-term health.


WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS


  • The overlooked impact of parasites and environmental toxins for women in midlife

  • Common symptoms that may be linked to gut health, molds, and parasites—not just aging

  • How to identify potential sources of exposure to parasites, mold, and heavy metals

  • Practical guidance on safe cleansing practices, targeted to women’s midlife needs

  • The challenges and limitations of common testing methods, and what to do instead

Transcript

Natalie Tysdal (02:52)

Kim, thank you so much for joining me today. This is a hot topic and one that is so often misunderstood. give us a summary of what you do.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (03:01)

It is a hot topic I'm grateful for it to be a hot topic because for four years this is all I've done so I'm glad that it's catching on and people are really curious about their own health because that's what I try and do for everyone around me is be your own advocate and have a full understanding of Basically your body right? We've been kind of told that


go to this person and they'll help you understand your body. But in reality, we should be understanding our bodies. And so that's really why I do this every day. And I've taken my own personal story and turned it into education for others. I mean, and I turned it into a business. So it's really very passionate for me because of that. It's a personal thing at this point for me.


Natalie Tysdal (03:47)

It's always when it comes from a personal place that we become really passionate about something. So tell us your past, what happened to you, and then we can get into what you do to help people now.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (03:58)

So I come from Western Medicine. I've been in it since 2004. I hold two health care degrees and I ran 25 medical colleges. I also authored multiple medical books and I worked in the field for over 10 years. so this really is medicine is a passion for me. I love the human body and I love how medicine helps the human body. And so I started on my journey.


with this after working for an airline and just wanting to really get into medicine. And after 20 years, my health declined so fast in 2019, my husband and I didn't know how to fix it. So I had a hysterectomy when I was 29 years old and I'm 47. I've had 13 surgeries because they just kept going in and removing what they said was endo and just cutting on me every two years.


And so I'd get healed and then my pain would be back and then I'd go back to the doctor and they would be like, okay, this is what we think you need to do. So they put me on Lupron and then they did multiple surgeries. I was in chemical menopause, now I'm in surgical menopause to stop the endo from continuing to grow. I had five surgeries, a hysterectomy and five more surgeries after the hysterectomy.


Natalie Tysdal (05:19)

of


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (05:19)

It was


all over my body, so is what they said. And so it just got to a point where I was like, okay, so what else can we do here? Right now I'm pretty debilitated. I'm not able to work. And you guys have like no solutions for me except for to continue to have surgery. So in 2019, they were like, you can't have any more surgeries. This is it. So whatever pain you're having right now is what you're gonna be living with. And I thought that's just not very acceptable. Like I've spent my whole life, you know,


Treating and helping others feel better because of their health and this is what I have to stick with so in 2020 I decided to get off all my medications and really figure out what was wrong with me So my husband and I sold everything and we went out to a piece of recreational property We had to build a log home and to grieve my goodbye because at this point


Natalie Tysdal (05:56)

Mm.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (06:15)

I'm so ill I can barely walk I can barely function as a normal human being we started growing mushrooms to help me functionally and things were just not really looking good for us and we did not want to leave my husband with a bunch of bills and so we decided to figure it out on our own and it took us around a year and a half to figure out some of my illnesses that were going on but it wasn't until I came across someone's video over on TikTok


that said, you know, I almost unalive myself over worms. And I stopped for a moment and I thought, I have flares during the full moon. I thought I had worms a few years before and my doctors told me that's impossible. You live in a first world country. You haven't been overseas in years, which doesn't matter because I used to go overseas. I worked for an airline.


And so it doesn't matter how long you've been overseas. If you've ever been overseas, even if in the year in the United States, you have. Susceptibility like we're we're around parasites and mold and environmental toxins every day. So that statement, I was like, well, I'm around stuff every day like this. And so I ended up.


doing what this girl said on the video and within three days, so it was just a parasite cleanse, no binder, nothing that I've created, just one simple, you take this tincture and it's supposed to like stop everything, right? And so within three days, I saw roundworm flukes and pinworms in the toilet, just like floating there. And this pain that I had on my right side was gone. And I've never had it back. So I started.


Natalie Tysdal (07:50)

Eww.


Wow.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (07:59)

Deciding in those moments like am I gonna keep doing this? What does this look like? What did I just take to help me get to this point? so I Decided to research more and I did a video of my own and it was 60 seconds and it went really viral And so I've done this every day. I started a business


Natalie Tysdal (08:21)

as the worm queen. It's now something we hear about more often and yet I want to know how many people live with some type of, and I know you do environmental toxins, not just worms and parasites that you help people with that, but how many people live with some type of parasite and they just never know, but they have all these other health issues and it's never really identified as that being.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (08:22)

as the Worm Queen.


Natalie Tysdal (08:45)

Because the worm and their parasites aren't necessarily what's causing all the other problems, but your whole body kind of starts to break down because of that, right?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (08:53)

Yeah, yeah, I I do believe some people's problems. That's really like their bottom line if they start to remove worms They'll or parasites. They'll actually start to remove things that have been biofilmed encompassed inside of them And so it can be your root cause right? It can be it wasn't my root cause my only one but it was a root cause for me and once I started getting rid of the parasites out of my body then I started removing mold and


and then come to find out that I had chronic end stages of Lyme, but they all live together. And so you just treat them all a little differently as you're going in and helping move them around. But statistically, I believe this is my opinion. Ninety five percent of us have parasites. If you go to the CDC, it says from twenty twenty three. So we're in twenty twenty six now and they haven't updated their statistics yet because testing is very inaccurate.


And the CDC only gives this number with accurate testing. So 60 million people per the CDC in the United States has parasites. And that's per their testing. I'm not one of those people. Funny enough, the worm queen is not one of them because my tests went to Mexico because LabCorp tested negative and Mexico's tests tested positive. I did an independent lab and I did LabCorp, same stool, same time, sent them off at the exact same moment.


Natalie Tysdal (10:20)

They just not


do the same test. It's not as in depth.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (10:22)

Yeah,


it's not as in depth. And I do know how they test because I used to work in the academia world and I trained lab core technicians on how to look at parasites in the stool. And so it's unfortunate because I do know back end.


Natalie Tysdal (10:38)

Are they taking a stool sample


and then looking at it under a microscope? Is that how they find the parasites in worms? But in Mexico, it just, what is it? How is it different or different countries?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (10:47)

Well,


just different doctors are looking at it, right? Like they have a lab technician versus a paracytologist. They have people in lab, the lab core in Quest that this is what they do for three to four minutes and then they have to move on. Where if you go to a, yeah, you've got a specialist versus just a tech.


Natalie Tysdal (11:04)

and do something else, right? Yeah.


OK. So I have so many questions about this. think people just they just don't know or they don't understand what is happening when parasites or any type of worm parasite. Are they the same? I don't know. What is happening in the body when when they are there?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (11:10)

Yeah.


Let's do the definition of what a parasite is. So a parasite is the umbrella word, and then you have different parts to that word. So protozoas is Giardia, defragilis, and crypto, which are microscopic parasites that are found normally in water, contaminated water. And so when they tell you to boil your water in a pipe break,


it's because they're afraid you're gonna catch Giardia, which you can't see that, it's microscopic. Now I had Cryptosporidium parvium, which is parvo, which kills puppies, which was shutting my organs down. And that's one reason why I was so sick, is because when you have that environmental toxin mixed with lime, and I was living in mold, and I had all these other parasites because of my pets as well, also because of my water.


You start to your body starts to shut down and will definitely go over what is going on in your body when that happens and then there's Nematodes which are physical worms which are things like roundworm flukes pin worms which are the things everyone wants to see and so those guys they hold on to certain things inside of their bodies like mold and parasites and other environmental toxins that literally lives inside of their bodies


And so, and then they all live in a big biofilm. It's like an encapsulated home for them. And so the reason why it's so hard, one, to detect whether or not you have parasites is because of this biofilm that they live in. And two, it's hard to parasite cleanse because you have to break that biofilm and not all parasite cleanses are created equal and breaking the biofilm.


Then when you break that biofilm, you've exposed everything inside of it. So then you have to go in and do multiple different steps with multiple different herbs. And that's why you, when you said earlier offline, you were like, I'm doing one. It's got all of these different things. And it's because they're having you go step by step to removing things that are inside of this biofilm, their bodies that you don't want to infect or re-infect your body with. And so that's why it's such a.


crazy thing for people to learn and to also do a parasite cleanse because you've got all these different variables and if you're just doing a random cleanse like what I did just a random teinshare off of Amazon it wasn't the best for me and my husband it made us quite ill and so I learned a lot from that.


Natalie Tysdal (13:58)

So what happens, what are some other signs that you might have? Worms, parasites, anything. So then I wanna talk about environmental toxins, other things in a minute, but what types of things might you feel? Yours was extreme, but the average person might just live with it every day and what might they be feeling?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (14:12)

Mm-hmm.


Grinding your teeth is a big one that I talk a lot about and that's because they've hijacked your nervous system and they can absorb six to eight times their weight in spores, heavy metals, but they also can take 90 % of your nutrients. And one of the nutrients that is needed in order for you to calm your nervous system, which they've hijacked, and to stop grinding your teeth and drooling is magnesium and calcium.


So when they seal these certain nutrients, that's when your body reacts and tells you the symptom. So keep that in mind as I'm naming off these symptoms, because that's just one, right? You've got IBS and IBD. Usually people have a lot of gut issues where they're completely constipated one moment and then they have terrible diarrhea the next, and that's a die off of having an environmental toxin, specifically a parasite.


And it's because they, one, they're like, okay, stop her going to the bathroom because we don't wanna leave. And then the other is, okay, they've swollen up your colon from the die-offs and they're stopping you, right? And then there's one where it's explosive. So that's a huge issue with people to have IBS and IBD. And then just heightened levels of anxiety.


when you are eating and you bloat immediately, especially if you're just like drinking water or you have a salad, that can be a symptom of a parasite when you completely like overextend yourself and look pregnant. And in my days, that was called endo belly. Whenever you would eat, my belly would look like I was pregnant. And we would just say it's an endometriosis belly, because that was like what we thought the root cause was. So.


I feel like lot of things, skin issues, a lot of things that we deal with on a daily basis in the United States specifically has to do with the fact that we've never cleansed for parasites.


Natalie Tysdal (16:11)

So for someone who's thinking, okay, that's me. I bloat easily. I'm constipated, diarrhea. I have skin, all these things. Where do you start? What can you do? ⁓ Who do you need to see or what do you need to do? I know you help people, but what's the first line that you tell people to go to to get help?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (16:27)

Mm-hmm.


Well, I say cleanse. I say do a Parify Parasite cleanse. ⁓ You can start with our Super Lymph Kit cleanse because that helps get your lymphatic system moving, which you need to have open. You need to do your three P's, peeing, pooping, and perspiring in order for you to have a comfortable, safe cleanse. You really need to have those things going on. And so we developed using the herbs that I love that help keep my pathways open.


I also recommend people moving their bodies as much as possible, specifically when you have a lot of chronic illness, it's because you're sitting in stagnant. And I'm one of those people, I really am working hard on a daily basis over the last four years, specifically after almost dying in the woods, I get up every day and I try and move my body as much as possible, which makes a huge difference.


But I would say that just being conscientious that you and your family want to put a parasite cleanse in your lives at least three to four times a year. Other countries cleanse. Other countries know this is an issue. Mexico, they know their water is not great. They provide abilities for their citizens to go to the pharmacy and get an anti-parasitic.


There are some things you have to do in Mexico that's mandatory, like sports and going into schools. You have to parasite cleanse. And it's because they're contagious. Pinworms run like lice of the butt. They're rampant everywhere. people know in other countries, Jamaica does a tea monthly called the Bush. And so they like have passed that down to their people. so


Natalie Tysdal (17:58)

Hmm.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (18:16)

If you look at it in a big picture, it's really just Western medicine countries that have been like, no, we can't have parasites. That's not us at all. But it's not a matter of what country you're in. It's a human thing. ⁓


Natalie Tysdal (18:25)

Wow.


It's really not. So


I need to take a step back because I didn't ask you where are most people, especially in America, but I have listeners all over the world. Where are they getting them? Is it mostly water?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (18:41)

I mean, that's one, I think one of the bigger ways probably because that's how I found out about it. I had worms before that, but they all just hang out together. So the biggest culprits is salmon, raw meats, raw produce because they're not being cooked, right? So I have a strict policy. I don't eat anything raw outside of my house.


And that's because you don't know how the food's prepared, specifically produce, and you don't know how the meat is. even if you get the best of the best, salmon is susceptible. Fish is susceptible. Seafood is susceptible to having worms.


Natalie Tysdal (19:26)

So even at a nice sushi restaurant, you would say no. Because can the restaurant control that? Do they even know?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (19:32)

I would say no.


No,


they can't control it. It's really the animal, right? It's that we're eating the body of an animal that also is exposed to parasites. And if you have a weakened immune system or you're chronically ill, guaranteed you're going to catch whatever's inside of that fish.


Natalie Tysdal (19:56)

Wow. And it's so good. mean, sushi is so popular and so good, but it doesn't matter what you're spending on it, where you get it. It can live inside of that raw.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (20:01)

I know, I miss it.


Not normally.


Right. If it's raw, that's the problem because there's no way of controlling it. Right. So I live in Seattle now. I'm moving on Friday and I've gone down to Pikes a lot and I've talked to the fishermen there and I've asked them like, what's the best fish to eat that doesn't have worms? What's the best cut on that fish so that you don't have to worry as much?


Natalie Tysdal (20:14)

Right.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (20:36)

And they said that, you know, salmon obviously is high and it's in worms specifically too, because you can see it because it's pink, but you can't see it in Halibut because it's white, right? So it's like, unless that worm has been died, then you can't really see it in most of the fish. But if you have a cut of the fish that's closer to the belly, it's going to have more parasites. And then I found out that in one square inch of


salmon can hold up to 10,000 parasite eggs.


Natalie Tysdal (21:07)

my word. Eek. Yikes. Yeah. So what if, okay. So what if then you say, I love seafood. I will only eat it cooked. Does that kill the parasites?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (21:08)

I know. I miss salmon.


It is a 99 % chance that's gonna kill it, right? Like I still will eat some crab because it has to be steamed. And so you're just still taking a chance. But what I do prior is I'll take the Parify kit prior as a digestive aid and then I also take it after. Because what happens is then it gets inside of you and you've made your body inhospitable and they don't wanna stay.


and they're not gonna set up camp. They're gonna leave because you've made your body inhospitable. And that's one reason why they put things like pumpkin seeds on salads is because pumpkin seeds is anti-parasitic. So when you eat something that potentially could have a parasite in it, and then you eat something that's anti-parasitic, they don't wanna stay in you. They wanna go.


Natalie Tysdal (22:05)

So carry pumpkin seeds with you when you travel. Didn't know that, that's new. What about you said other raw things, vegetables and fruits you don't eat outside of your home and can you control that in your vegetables and fruits by washing it?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (22:06)

Yes. ⁓


Yeah, I don't eat raw produce outside of my house ⁓ because of the fact I don't know how they prepared it. One, if they prepared it using Seattle's water, I'm just contaminating it, right? If it was clean before, they use the tap water, then now it's not because the water here is so bad. So there's another level of, okay, so not just drinking the water or showering in the water, but you're cleaning your produce with.


water that's contaminated. So I just don't even want to chance it. I don't know where they got the produce from. So I will only do it and eat it in my house. And I prepare it. And I'll go over how I prepare my produce, because it's a very easy, very simple protocol. It's not enough. Right. And I've seen so many worms come out of people's fruit and


Natalie Tysdal (23:06)

Yeah, let's do that because just rinsing it off probably isn't enough.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (23:14)

vegetables from this they send me videos all the time so I know it works and I've seen it myself okay so I tell people to do two cups of white vinegar a half of a lime and two tablespoons of Baja sea salt and I like that one because it remineralizes your produce while it's soaking in one gallon of distilled water for five to ten minutes so rinse your produce put it in this soak


let it sit for five to 10 minutes and then rinse it again. I then like to add one more level of protection to my food and that's with this $100 machine called Thurisage's Ozone Bubbler and it makes the water ozone. So then it creates this anti-pesticide, antibacterial water that then you put your fruit in and you let it sit for I think it's 10 minutes and then it's good.


It'll last longer. It's way more crisp. You'll see the color come back because there's no longer bacteria eating, trying to decompose it. And tons of worms have come out of people's blueberries and blackberries. I'll never eat blackberries because of what I know. It's just, they just live inside of the blackberry. I mean, it's just gnarly. It is so hard. You have to cut it open. Like.


Natalie Tysdal (24:21)

out.


You can't wash it out.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (24:33)

You got, you know, we're eating for nutrients and it's unfortunate that we're in kind of a toxic environment of life. Like this isn't just me stepping up and saying, my gosh, there's parasites. It's a toxic issue that our bodies are so stressed that we can't push these toxins out anymore. And so that's what's happening inside of our society is the chronic illness. That's like a magnet. When you have a chronic illness, you're going to.


catch everything, you know, and then you got to sort through. You get into a moldy building or you live in a moldy environment. I lived in black toxic mold. I had this happen to me in 21 and then in 22 I found out because I lost half my hair and my eyes smelled shut while on film that my, my travel trailer we were living in while we were building our log home, trying to heal me was full of black toxic mold and we were living in it just not even thinking. Right. And so


Natalie Tysdal (25:25)

Mmm.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (25:30)

That just adds another layer of complications when you're already in a chronic illness state of mind. And so people don't realize they all live together and hang out together.


Natalie Tysdal (25:37)

Yeah.


Yeah. Okay. So back to the produce really quick. Can you see the parasites, the worms? Like I look at my fruits and my vegetables and I wash them in like vinegar and some baking soda. That's just what I've been doing. And I soak it in that.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (25:55)

Yes. So that's what everyone


does, Natalie. And the problem with that is that you actually created a salt because baking soda and vinegar put together the salt. And so we're not really, we're cleaning them, but we're not really getting in them. And so I had to relearn my train of thought too, with how to soak my produce.


Natalie Tysdal (26:19)

So soak it, and then you mentioned distilled water. Do you just buy distilled water that you do this with or do you use, do you drink the distilled water? What's your water protocol?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (26:29)

Well, I use filtered water from my sink. So I use that. But when I didn't have or I don't have any water, I'll use distilled just because I know how distilled water is created and it's pretty sanitary the way that it's done. So.


Natalie Tysdal (26:38)

Okay.


So


the water from your sink you use to soak and then rinse your produce, but your water from your sink is filtered reverse osmosis. I think there is so much confusion over, want to be good, but if you're just buying water from plastic in the grocery store, you're not being good. But tap water we know isn't good. So what, what, what are you using? What kind of filter?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (26:48)

Yeah, because I filtered what all of my waters filtered everything.


Mm-hmm.


Mm-hmm.


Well, I live in an apartment now, but I also have my log home so I can go over two different styles of water filtration systems so people have options and I can also tell you guys how much that costs too. So the apartment that I live in, I use a three filter system. I like water drop. It's around $200 and you can install it underneath your sinks in your rental or in your home if you can't do a full house filter.


So it's around, I don't know, think we spent maybe $1,000 and we have six sinks in this apartment. And so each one of them has this three filter system. Any filtration system that is five micron or smaller is going to filter out almost all environmental contaminants that are in our water. So anything that you type in that says five micron,


and one micron, that's usually how the filtration systems work, are those two size microns. And when you do something like a reverse osmosis, like what you have, it's literally going through cycles very similar to distilled water, where it's getting brought up, dropped back down, sitting, cleaned. I mean, there's a whole system with RO. And that's what made me and Jeremy not as sick. We weren't drinking our contaminated water. We were just brushing our teeth and showering.


and washing our produce with it, right? Because it wasn't in our whole trailer and our whole house. And so that was the issue that we were having when it came to our contaminated water. And then when we moved to this apartment, that's when we realized we need to just have filters underneath our sink. So that's kind of the difference between RO and filtered water.


And RO is going to be premium. The only thing is, is it removes everything. So you've got to add back minerals inside of RO water.


Natalie Tysdal (29:04)

So trace minerals, I've bought just trace mineral drops that I put in my water. What would you recommend?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (29:10)

I like Trace Minerals. You can also buy another, like it's a couple hundred dollars system that goes in front of, which I think you guys have for your drinking water more than likely. You probably have like an ad back. You're not just drinking RO water directly.


Natalie Tysdal (29:27)

I don't know. I don't think we do. It's just a RO system, but I don't think it has an ad back. Yes.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (29:28)

⁓ do you have like a drinking faucet that comes off of your,


and then when you look underneath your sink, do you have like multiple stacks of different filters?


Natalie Tysdal (29:38)

It has


three little capsules that it goes into. It's APEC is the company that makes it. You do like them? Thank goodness.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (29:41)

Okay.


I like them. Then do you? Yeah, we we've had them. They're


good. They also have an add back mineral drinking system. And I recommend looking at that. And you can put


Natalie Tysdal (29:53)

Hmm, okay. But then I think people


have to remember if they don't, ours is an under sink, but it comes up from the basement into the refrigerator in the kitchen, but that's it. That's the only RO we have in our house. So when we brush our teeth or our showers or those things are not filtered.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (30:10)

So for a couple hundred bucks, this is what we did when we moved in to this apartment to finish our log home. had to move. And so we had to move out of our log home. We were trying to finish to get into the, to finish it. And so I'm like, what about the water? was like the first thing Jeremy and I realized because we tested the water here in Seattle and it came back positive for nematodes. And so when we first moved here, I didn't have a shower filter and it was two weeks that I didn't have one. And I started to have.


fall back into my old ways. Like my mental health was declining. My skin wasn't looking very good. And I was like, something's going on, Jeremy. Like, let's get the filters up. Let's see. And within like two days, I was back to normal. And that's how much your body becomes like a receptor of stop. Like I wasn't really listening to my body. And so it really is once you start to clean yourself out and you get around the environmental toxins, your fascia is your antennas.


Natalie Tysdal (30:56)

Wow.


Yeah.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (31:10)

And it's like, stop, stop. And so it kept telling me, and I wasn't listening. And then we tested it. I'm like, let's just test it. Maybe that's what's going on with me. Let's test the water. And it came back positive. And I'm like.


Natalie Tysdal (31:10)

Yeah.


So what


kind of shower filter do you use?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (31:23)

So I use just a random one that I travel with and we've tested it and it's tested negative and we know the water is contaminated in Seattle. So we know that this filter works because we tested it and it it's $45 on Amazon. It's a one micron and inside of it has all the ad back minerals in it. So it's in. Yes. Yes.


Natalie Tysdal (31:44)

So it's just an attachment to the shower head. So it goes through that before it hits you.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (31:50)

Yes. And then because the water is so bad here in Seattle, we have another little filter, one micron on top of it. then we have, anything that touches us in this place, because we do know that it's not great. We know that that water is a problem.


Natalie Tysdal (32:05)

This is just so fascinating. And we were talking just before we came on and how it can be overwhelming to think about all of this, but you like to simplify it for people and process in doing that kind of a multi-layer so that it's not so overwhelming for people. What would you say?


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (32:16)

Mm-hmm.


I say start with parasite cleansing, with Parify, because it's gonna help release some of that brain fog. You're going to have a better grip on your exhaustion and you're going to be able to think clearer in order to do these steps. And once you get a good handle on just the few changes, you don't wanna change everything at once. I have all these free resources in my profile or on our website of rogershood.com.


So Rodgerstood.com is my website. Everything I do is free. I have hundreds of podcasts you can listen to. I have my own podcast. I do post every day. I've done it for four and a half years now. I've been doing this every day. So there's so much information and just take time and just slowly do it. You've lived this way for so many years, but there is relief.


And because of all of my environmental toxins that I've gone through, I have free ebooks that you can read. Fast track guides like 10 pages long. It tells you exactly how to get started, exactly what to do, and whether you're using my cleanse or you're using someone else's cleanse or you're new to this. Like we're here to hold your hand. I have an entire company that we answer every email, every DM, every comment.


It doesn't matter if it's about us or just a question in regards to mold or parasites. We really are known as the environmental toxin cleansing company because of the fact that I've had so many environmental toxins. I come from Western medicine and I switched my whole life around. I believe Western medicine is a need, but it's just not a need to heal you. You have to heal you, but you need the information and that's why I'm doing this.


Natalie Tysdal (34:00)

Yeah.


I think that what you just said is my favorite thing you said today is you have to heal you. We rely so much on just that one doctor we've ever been to and then we wonder what's wrong. That doctor might not know or might not be thinking along the lines of parasites or anything like that. So you have to heal you by getting the knowledge, by learning. Okay, so I said we were talking about this so I don't want to miss it. ⁓ We talked about parasites, other environmental toxins, talked about mold.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (34:11)

Mm-hmm.


Mm-hmm.


Natalie Tysdal (34:35)

But what are some of those things? I know it could be a whole nother podcast. Maybe we need to save it, but just touch on that briefly.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (34:39)

Mm-hmm.


Well, things like heavy metals, right? So heavy metals will weight down the physical parasite. And then inside of that parasite could be mold and Epstein-Barr virus, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, all of these things weight down in your body, lowering your frequency, lowering your vibration. And so every morning you wake up,


and you're already in a negative, right? Because you have so many things you have to fight and push uphill. So all of these environmental toxins that are surrounding us, plastics, they all will take a toll on your body. So just start to clear them individually. Just start with the easiest one. We literally made the Parify kit so simple. It's three tinctures and a binder. You take it three times a day for 30 days, three to four times a year. I mean,


And that will allow you to really push some of these things out. put herbs that help move mold spores. I put herbs that help move lime. So when you're dumping these things in your body, heavy metals, metal flush, which is one of the tinctures I learned from my own cleansing, you have to remove the heavy metals. It'll loosen up more parasites. That's why when people do heavy metal detoxes, they see worms. It's because they've been weighted down.


And so these are things that you can't avoid. They're just things that now that you've heard this podcast and you've heard the knowledge, you can go in and tackle and I guarantee you, you are gonna feel so much better within the first 30 days. I mean, it's like, you can look back at how sick I was. Let me show you guys how sick I really was. So you can get an understanding of like, this is all I've done. I've had no Western medicine intervention since 2019.


which is a really big deal for someone who has every two years an endometrial surgery, laparoscopic surgery. But this is how sick I genuinely was when I started this.


Natalie Tysdal (36:38)

If you're watching on


YouTube, you can see this. you're listening, you need to go watch on YouTube. Yeah, wow. You look like a different person.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (36:44)

Totally different, totally different. That was all inflammation. It was just how much environmental toxins can make you ill.


Natalie Tysdal (36:46)

Yeah. Wow.


Yeah. Well, I love what you're sharing. And I always say, like, if you've got a heavy load of something, like, you know you have mold or you've eaten a lot of sugar, whatever all those things are, it's just like a bucket that's full. So start taking things out of that bucket ⁓ because you've got to lighten that toxic load. just, it'll really wear you down. Thank you so much, Kim. It's great to talk to you. We'll have to do it again because I know there's so much more that we could talk about.


But I think this is a good starting place for people. I'll be sure and put ⁓ what's your website again. I'll be sure and put it in the show notes.


Kim Rogers "Worm Queen" (37:29)
