Discover Health Podcast
As a Doctor of Chiropractic and health coach, I feel like my mission is to help moms struggling with chronic illness. We know how hard it can be for moms to feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and frustrated with the health care system because we lived it. My wife battled chronic Lyme, mold illness, EBV and more. After finding solutions that actually helped her go from using the walls for support just to walk through the house to now exercising and traveling with her family, we want to help other moms achieve their dream health goals too!
For exhausted Christian moms like you, this podcast will help you change your health trajectory with intentional, doable steps so you feel genuinely hopeful about your future instead of stuck in survival mode. If you keep listening for 6–12 months, you’ll get real, practical, and actionable advice from me and from experts who’ve either lived your struggles or walk closely with women just like you, so you can feel confident, supported, and guided toward better health.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Joshua Sharp dives deep into the secret powerhouse nutrient Vitamin B1 (thiamine), a vitamin many are unknowingly deficient in. Discover how thiamine influences your energy, mood, brain function, and autonomic nervous system health, and why deficiency is linked to conditions like chronic fatigue, POTS, depression, anxiety, and more.
Learn about the best food sources, high-absorption supplement forms like benfotiamine and TTFD, and an important metabolic test (MVX Plus) that can reveal hidden deficiencies. Armed with clinical evidence and practical advice, this episode empowers you to recognize, prevent, and treat this often-overlooked nutrient gap for lasting health improvements.
