Who is better equipped to teach us about spiritual health than an exorcist? Father Dan Reehil, Roman Catholic priest, exorcist for the Diocese of Nashville, and host of the Battle Ready podcast, joins Dr. Chris Motley and Dr. Anis Khalaf for a live conversation that bridges spiritual warfare, self-discipline, and whole-body health in a way you've never heard before. How’s your spirit these days? We’re pretty conscious of our minds and bodies, but we also must be aligned with our spiritual health for true balance. Father Dan’s message to us? Spiritual growth requires discipline, and in our modern world, discipline is in short supply. Father Dan makes the case that spiritual discipline isn't just a religious practice, it's your strongest protection against the forces that keep you stuck, sick, and spiritually depleted. In a culture that's abandoned discipline entirely, that protection is more urgent than ever. Check out the episode to learn his remedies for spiritual discipline AND find out what exorcism training really looks like. In this episode you'll discover: *The one thing Father Dan sees in every single case of spiritual oppression, and the daily practice that closes that door *Why self-discipline is not a restriction on your freedom but the key to it *How to shift your perspective so there are no more "bad days"...only days of grace *What exorcism training in Rome actually looks like, and what it taught Father Dan about spiritual oppression *Why the family that prays together genuinely does stay together — how shared spiritual practice is protective *How morning prayer, fasting, and intentional living transform not just your soul but your physical body *Whether you're coming from a place of faith or simply searching for deeper meaning, this episode will challenge the way you think about spiritual health — and give you practical tools to strengthen it starting today. ------ Follow Doctor Motley!

Can your beliefs impact your healing? As science begins to catch up to what people of faith have always known, it’s clear that believing you can be healthy is key to beating the odds. Jordan Rubin, health coach, natural health entrepreneur and author of The Biblio Diet and The Makers Diet, would call this faith. In this special live episode of the Ancient Health Podcast at 2026’s WillCo WellFest, Jordan shares with Dr. Motley and Dr. Anis Khalaf how he found healing amidst a dire health prognosis (twice!) and how essential faith and hope are for conquering both chronic and terminal illness. He advocates for biblical nutrition, natural healing and a faith-filled imagination when doctors give up. In this episode you’ll learn faith based visualizations for healing, what healing leaves are and why a bible verse inspired Jordan to plant nearly a million fruit trees, plus hear a live Q+A with Jordan!

What if the thing that saved your mental health wasn't a pill, a program, or a therapist — but a stranger in a gym telling you that you looked terrible and needed a cold shower? Get 12% off an Ice Barrel or Chiller with code DRMOTLEY at https://shorturl.at/3Ejhb. That's the real origin story of Ice Barrel. Wyatt Ewing was burning out in corporate aviation — anxious, depressed, chronically sick, dropping from 180 to 140 pounds under relentless stress — when an unsolicited wake-up call in a gym sent him home to take his first cold shower. What happened next changed everything: he felt a sense of presence and calm that he hadn’t in a long time. Wyatt quit his job, moved his family across the country, built a company out of a garage, went completely broke, rebuilt from zero, and created one of the fastest-growing cold therapy brands in America. In this conversation, Dr. Motley and Wyatt go beyond the standard cold therapy talking points. They discuss the vagus nerve and mammalian dive reflex, why the upright posture of a barrel is neurologically superior to lying in a bathtub, how cold exposure retrains your nervous system's default stress response while supporting inflammation and the vision quest Wyatt took in the Utah desert after the acquisition — where cold water followed him again. If you've ever wondered whether two minutes of cold water could genuinely change your life, this episode is for you. 00:00 - Introduction 03:20 - Wyatt’s Story 04:14 - The Stranger who Changed Everything 05:07 - Cold Shower to Ice Barrel 06:19 - Going Broke to Build Something Real 09:08 - Why Cold Therapy is Unlike Anything Else 17:03 - Wyatt’s Personal Protocol 18:16 - Modern Comfort, Ancient Struggle 23:00 - What Cold Does to a Nervous System Under Pressure 32:02 - Mammalian Dive Reflex and the Vagus Nerve 34:50 - Contrast Therapy is the Future 42:06 - Cold Has Been Following Me My Whole Life 49:05 - Youth Athletics and the Recovery Gap 51:14 - Where You Can Find Wyatt Key Takeaways Cold therapy works in 2 minutes. Unlike exercise, meditation, or supplementation, cold immersion produces immediate, measurable changes in mood, energy, and stress hormones. Wyatt's benchmark: 'I've never seen anybody get out of an ice bath without a smirk on their face' — and he's offered $1,000 to prove him wrong. The upright posture isn't cosmetic — it's neurological. Lying in a bathtub during cold exposure sends conflicting signals: the body enters fight-or-flight but is told to rest. Ice Barrel's upright design mirrors how the human body actually responds to cold stress in nature, producing a more complete physiological response. You're not training for cold — you're retraining your nervous system. Wyatt noticed that after months of cold therapy, his palms stopped sweating during high-stakes corporate negotiations and his resting heart rate during stress dropped. The cold isn't the point; the recalibrated default stress response is. Start with the hose, not the ice. Tap water from a garden hose runs at 55-60°F — cold enough to activate all the primary benefits. Beginners don't need ice. Start there, work toward 50-55°F, and only go into the 40s when you're confident. Shivering is the body's signal to get out. The future of cold therapy is contrast. Hot/cold alternation — sauna then cold plunge, repeated — produces norepinephrine and euphoric endorphin release that standalone cold or heat cannot. Ice Barrel's partnership with Sunlighten (infrared sauna) positions it at the center of this shift. Comfort is the enemy, and hot water is new. Even the wealthiest person 1,000 years ago struggled to get hot water. The modern convenience of hot-on-demand is an evolutionary novelty, and Wyatt cites research showing that people who believe stress is good for them live substantially longer than those who don't. ------ Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast?

Went to your doctor in your early 40s with sudden anxiety, insomnia, brain fog or unexplained weight gain — and walked out with an antidepressant? Author and nurse practitioner Dani Williamson joins Dr. Chris Motley to explain why SSRIs are not the answer to perimenopause, what's actually happening in your body as estrogen drops, and how healing your gut can bring your thyroid and hormones back into balance. Key Takeaways from this Conversation: Women are being prescribed SSRIs for anxiety when the real cause is perimenopause. There’s no SSRI for that. Estrogen-loss comes with mood symptoms, weight gain and health concerns like Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as your thyroid begins to slow down. Fix your gut and your thyroid and hormones will (usually!) fall into place. Dani Williamson’s Top 7 Most Inflammatory Food: Gluten Dairy Soy Corn Sugar Eggs Peanuts If your doctor’s reaction to a health concern brought on by estrogen-loss is “let’s just watch this for 6 months,” it’s time to find a new doctor. A tiny low-dose estrogen patch can change your perimenopause game. Healing trauma and abuse is key (especially when it comes to thyroid health): Unaddressed childhood trauma can collide with the body-chaos of perimenopause. EMDR and talk therapy can help with this journey. ------ Follow Doctor Motley!

After a serious heart attack with no conventional warning signs, Dr. John Kim went searching for answers. He was shocked to find what conventional testing never unearthed: he was unknowingly fighting a Bartonella infection, a heavy mycotoxin load and parasites. This was when the pharmacist turned functional medicine practitioner learned the role cellular energy plays in health breakdowns, and, vitally, in healing. In this episode, you’ll learn about cell-danger response and the connection between biotoxins and mitochondrial dysfunction (did you know if your cells are healthy they repel parasites?!). Dr. Kim shares his best tips for cellular healing (butyrate, phospholipids and sunlight) and walks us through the steps he takes his own clients through: taking stock of your individual environment, healing your nervous system, detox pathways, strengthening the microbiome, and building resilience so you can live your life.

Your horrible reaction to beef could be from a tick-bite. In this episode, you’ll learn about Alpha-gal Syndrome, which could be the reason you can’t stomach red meat, and why it’s all to do with tick saliva. If you have Lyme disease, you may already understand how ticks can wreak havoc with your immune system. Here, Dr. Motley shares his thoughts on why allergic reactions to beef may be on the rise, and the treatments he’s seen manage symptoms most effectively, including herbs, homeopathy and ear acupuncture (and the SAAT technique that shows proven, long-lasting results). If you have a tick-borne illness or an unexplained allergic reaction to beef, this episode offers a hopeful path forward.
