Dr. Evan Hirsch is challenging the conventional narrative around chronic fatigue, long COVID, and bone health by looking where most doctors don’t—the toxic layers silently weighing you down. He’s a world-renowned fatigue expert and creator of the EnergyMD Method, and what he’s sharing could change the entire way you see your diagnosis. He helps women over 50 who are exhausted, inflamed, and told their labs look fine, but deep down know something’s wrong. From navigating his own journey to developing a proven 4-step system, Evan gets it. You can’t rebuild your energy—or your bones—until you clear out what’s draining you.
In this conversation, we uncover the truth about what’s really causing your fatigue and bone loss. It’s not just age. It’s not just hormones. It’s what Evan calls the Toxic 5: heavy metals, mold, chemicals, infections, and nervous system dysregulation. These hidden burdens mess with your hormones, your sleep, your energy, and yes—your bones. So if you’re frustrated, overwhelmed, and ready for a real plan, this is it. You are not broken. You are depleted. And that can be reversed.
Why This Matters to You
If you’re dealing with fatigue, bone loss, or feeling let down by a system that offers more meds than solutions, this episode is going to give you hope and a roadmap.
- Tired of hearing “your labs are normal”? Learn how Dr. Evan Hirsch shows you what’s actually going on.
- Diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis? Discover why your bones might be releasing decades of stored toxins—and how to support them.
- Feeling wired but tired? Understand how a dysregulated nervous system makes healing impossible until you address it.
- Can’t figure out why nothing is working? Get insight into what needs to happen before detox can even begin.
- Want a clear, natural path forward? Hear how the EnergyMD Method gets you from exhausted and fragile to energized and strong.
Actionable Advice
- Identify the Toxic 5 – Start with what’s really behind your energy drain and bone breakdown: heavy metals, molds, chemicals, chronic infections, and stress patterns hardwired into your system.
- Stop chasing perfect labs – Just because the test says “normal” doesn’t mean you’re well. Trust your symptoms. Your body is talking.
- Open the exit doors first – Support your liver, kidneys, lymph, and gut before releasing toxins. That’s how you detox without the crash.
- Balance comes before detox – Build up your adrenals and mitochondria so your body feels safe enough to heal. No more pushing through.
- Use a layered process that actually works – Evan’s method isn’t guesswork—it’s structured, safe, and designed for long-term success without overwhelm.
Dr. Evan Hirsch didn’t always have the answers. Like so many women I talk to, he was told he was fine—while feeling anything but. His own chronic fatigue pushed him to search for deeper answers, and what he found was a system rooted in removing what harms and restoring what heals. Now he helps women just like you take back control of their energy and their bones, with a clear strategy that actually honors what your body needs. No more guessing. No more quick fixes. This is the path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Oxalates, also known as oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, vegetables, and fruits. They are part of a plant’s defense mechanism against predators and can be found in high concentrations in foods like spinach, rhubarb, beets, nuts, chocolate, tea, and certain beans.
Regarding bone health, oxalates can bind to minerals such as calcium in the gut, forming calcium oxalate. This compound is not easily absorbed by the body, meaning the calcium that could have been utilized for bone strengthening is instead excreted. This process can potentially lead to lower calcium availability for bone health, which can be particularly concerning for individuals at risk of osteoporosis or other bone-related issues.
However, for most women, dietary oxalates do not pose a significant threat to bone health, especially if their diet is balanced with enough calcium and they do not have a history of kidney stones.
Your gut is crucial for stronger bones for several reasons:
- Nutrient Absorption: The gut is where most nutrient absorption occurs. For bones to be healthy and strong, they need a variety of nutrients, particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D. A healthy gut efficiently absorbs these essential nutrients from your diet and facilitates their transportation to the bones.
- Gut Microbiome and Bone Health: Research has shown that the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria living in your intestines) can influence bone density. Certain gut bacteria help in producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which have been shown to promote bone health. SCFAs can enhance the absorption of minerals necessary for bone strength and play a role in reducing inflammation, which can negatively affect bone health.
- Hormone Regulation: The gut helps regulate hormones that are involved in bone metabolism, including insulin, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones like estrogen. For example, estrogen is vital for bone density, and gut health can influence estrogen levels through the enterohepatic circulation, where estrogens are processed in the liver and intestines.
- Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation, which can stem from poor gut health, is linked to many conditions that compromise bone strength, such as osteoporosis. A healthy gut helps to reduce systemic inflammation, protecting bones from inflammatory damage.
- Immune System Modulation: The majority of the immune system is located in the gut. An imbalance in the immune system can lead to autoimmune conditions, some of which affect the bones. Maintaining gut health helps to ensure the immune system works correctly, protecting against autoimmune reactions that could impact bone health.
In essence, maintaining a healthy gut contributes significantly to stronger bones by ensuring the effective absorption of vital nutrients, regulating hormones, reducing inflammation, and supporting a healthy immune system. Therefore, a diet rich in bone-healthy nutrients, prebiotics, and probiotics, along with lifestyle factors that promote gut health, is key to maintaining strong bones.
