Parasites, Pets & Proactive Detox with Kim “The Worm Queen” Rogers
On this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, Angela sits down with Kim Rogers, CEO and co-founder of RogersHood Apothecary—better known online as the Worm Queen. After decades in Western medicine and a personal health spiral, Kim built a gentle, herb-forward cleansing protocol that went viral. We dig into how parasites are picked up, the real-world pet ↔ human connection (shared environments and microbiomes), and why effective detox is more than “kill”—it’s open drainage, support organs, then bind. Kim breaks down common culprits (roundworm, tapeworm, giardia, pinworm), the role of biofilms, and why tinctures can be cleaner and more bioavailable than powders with fillers. Join Angela and Kim for a practical, non-alarmist guide to keeping both you and your animals safer with smart hygiene, cleaner products, and periodic, thoughtful cleansing.
