In this episode of Longevity Leaders, Dr. Ashley Beckman sits down with Dr. Erika Schultz to explore why many people pursue “cleaner” living only to become more reactive, fearful, and fragile. Dr. Erika explains how childhood toxins, injuries, and generational exposures can prime the body for chronic illness, and why true resilience requires a layered approach—supporting the nervous system, addressing parasites and mold, treating scars that disrupt meridians, and doing deep cellular detox so the body can adapt again.
Dr. Erika also shares how her own health crash and years of restrictive cleanses led her to create The Resiliency Method®, a three-phase system built on restoring foundations first—whole-food nutrition, clearing parasites and metals, resolving food sensitivities, and correcting scar-related interference—before tackling deeper mold and inherited toxins. Together, she and Dr. Ashley connect Chinese medicine with modern cellular and mitochondrial science, showing how to move beyond fear of mold, gluten, perfumes, or travel and instead build a body that’s steady, resilient, and capable of long-term vitality.
