  • The Truth About Heart Disease: Cholesterol Myths, Statins, and the Real Root Cause

    The Truth About Heart Disease: Cholesterol Myths, Statins, and the Real Root Cause
    Nov 6 2025
    Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—exposes what he calls the three biggest medical myths about heart disease: that cholesterol is the primary cause, that low-cholesterol diets prevent heart attacks, and that statin drugs are a safe, catch-all solution. He reframes cardiovascular risk around inflammation, metabolic health, and visceral fat, and explains why decades of cholesterol-centric thinking have not delivered the promised results. Drawing on 34 years in practice and extensive work with complex chronic illness, Dr. Murphree walks through the roles of cholesterol, CoQ10, magnesium, omega-3s, blood sugar, blood pressure, and belly fat in heart health—then outlines dietary, lifestyle, and supplement strategies he believes can reduce risk, improve energy, and support healthier outcomes. This training is educational and encourages patients to understand their labs, their medications, and to work with their doctors on any treatment changes.

    The Root of Fatigue: How Functional Medicine Restores Energy and Reverses Fibromyalgia
    Oct 22 2025
    In this conversation, Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner, author, and telemedicine pioneer—dives deep into one of the most misunderstood conditions in modern healthcare: chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. After 34 years in practice and more than two decades helping thousands of patients recover naturally, Dr. Murphree explains how exhaustion, pain, and brain fog are not isolated problems—they’re signals from a body in distress. He breaks down the root causes of fatigue, including poor sleep, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid imbalance, and mitochondrial depletion, and reveals why conventional medicine often misses the mark by focusing on symptom management rather than restoration. Through his experience in functional medicine, he outlines practical steps to restore energy, improve sleep, and reverse chronic fatigue, from magnesium and serotonin support to balancing hormones and reducing inflammation. You’ll also learn how chronic stress depletes essential nutrients, how poor diet fuels inflammation, and how targeted natural therapies can reset your body’s healing rhythm.

    Oct 15 2025
    In this conversation, Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner, author, and telemedicine pioneer—shares the cornerstone principle behind lasting wellness: you can’t overcome chronic illness until you get healthy. After 34 years in practice and more than two decades specializing in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, Dr. Murphree distills what he’s learned from thousands of patients: modern medicine treats symptoms, but true recovery comes from addressing root causes. He explains how diet, inflammation, and stress form the underlying blueprint of most chronic conditions—and why the Standard American Diet (SAD) is one of the greatest contributors to disease today. Dr. Murphree also challenges common health myths about saturated fats, cholesterol, and dairy—and provides actionable strategies for regaining control of your health through nutrient-dense foods and sustainable lifestyle habits.
