I'm Dr. Rue, a naturopathic physician, and I've always needed to know the *why*. Why does one person recover while another continues to struggle? Why do symptoms keep coming back? That curiosity is what *Decoding Disease* is built on.

Each episode takes something complicated and makes it make sense, using stories and everyday analogies to explain the science. We start with the basics: how your body works, how its systems communicate, and how a change in one system can affect another. Then we explore the root causes of disease and the drivers that keep it going.

My focus is cancer, mast cell activation, and complex chronic illness, along with the systems and influences that connect them: mitochondria, metabolism, the immune system, the gut, and the environment we live in. We look at what we know, what we're still learning, and why those connections matter.

If you've ever felt like no one explained what's really going on in your body, this show is for you.
