0:00.0	They literally are stealthy. They're opportunist and they will live in you for decades.
0:06.8	This is the Pursuit of Wellness podcast and I'm your host, Mari Llewellyn.
0:15.2	What is up, guys? Welcome back to the pursuit of wellness. Today, I am so excited for this guest. We are speaking to Kim Rogers, also known as the Worm Queen. You may have seen her on TikTok. She is really an expert with all things parasites. And she's also one of the only people on the internet talking about this topic. She's a wellness professional
0:38.4	with over 18 years of experience in Western medicine. She has contributed to many medical
0:43.6	publications and now she's really dedicated herself to parasites. She founded Rogers Hood
0:50.2	Apothecary, which created the viral Parify Parasite Cleanse Kit, which gained traction on
0:55.8	TikTok and Instagram. She is putting out information on a topic that none of us want to talk about,
1:01.0	but we all need to. It turns out that about 95% of people have a parasite. So today we talk about
1:07.9	the symptoms of having a parasite, where you may be contracting it from,
1:12.4	how to cleanse from a parasite, the different types of parasites you can have. We discuss sushi,

1:47.3	what's going on in my body. And I think the fabulous part about what Kim is doing is she's really
1:52.5	helping people take their health into their own hands, figure out what's going on in their bodies.
1:57.1	I highly recommend you guys check out her social media. She has so many resources,
2:02.2	so much great content. So let's hop into this conversation and learn about all things,
2:07.2	parasites. Kim, welcome to the pursuit of wellness. Thanks for having me. I'm so excited to be here.
2:13.4	I am so excited. We have never done a parasite episode on this show.
2:19.1	And I feel like that's very telling of the parasite industry.
