A sudden MS diagnosis in 1999 became a turning point for Elizabeth Yarnell, launching her into a decades-long exploration of inflammation, autoimmunity, and food as medicine. In this episode, Elizabeth shares her personal journey, the foundational role of whole foods, and why gut health, clean water, and reducing everyday exposures matter more than most people realize. This conversation is a practical, empowering reminder that small, consistent food and lifestyle choices can create meaningful change over time.

In this episode, we cover:

• Elizabeth's MS diagnosis and the wake-up call that changed everything
• Why inflammation is a common driver in MS and autoimmune conditions
• The role of whole foods, gut health, and daily digestion as health signals
• Clean water, environmental exposures, and foundational lifestyle choices
• How small, consistent changes can create meaningful, long-term impact

If you've tried everything for fatigue, brain fog, and feeling stuck in survival mode—but you're still not better—this episode is for you.

On The Synergee Podcast, Kelly and Lori sit down with Dr. Sam Shea (aka the Friendly Lab Nerd) to unpack why "magic bullet" protocols often fail—and why healing requires a clear framework, not more guessing.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why chronic symptoms rarely come from just one issue
• The 10 Pillars of Health and how they guide real, sustainable healing
• How targeted lab testing (including mitochondria, gut, hormones, toxins, and genetics) creates a personalized roadmap forward

If you're exhausted, discouraged, or told your labs are "normal," this conversation will help you understand what your body is truly asking for—and how to start responding with clarity and confidence.
