From Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis to Back on the Job Site: Tim’s Story
Tim couldn’t turn the key in his own car. Five years later, he’s back building homes. His personal story with severe rheumatoid arthritis on The Deeper Healing Podcast — what conventional medicine said, what functional medicine found, and what his protocol included. Educational purposes only. Individual results vary.
ABOUT THE HOST, GUEST CO-HOST & GUEST
Danielle Howley — Host, The Deeper Healing Podcast
Danielle Howley is the co-founder of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center and host of The Deeper Healing Podcast. She didn’t come from medicine — she came from desperation. When her husband Marty became gravely ill at 37 and spent a decade bedridden while doctors ran out of answers, Danielle refused to stop searching. That search led to a recovery his doctors had not expected — and it changed everything. She went on to co-found Deeper Healing in 2019, recruiting clinicians in environmental and integrative medicine to build the center she wished had existed when Marty was sick.
Today, the award-winning Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center draws patients from around the world. A Canadian filmmaker created a documentary about their work — Body Burden: The Toxins We Carry — Featuring Deeper Healing. Every episode is built for the person who isn’t ready to give up.

Tim — Patient, Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center
Tim is a home builder and former auto body shop owner. After developing severe rheumatoid arthritis seemingly overnight at age 58 — leaving him unable to walk normally, lift his arms, or turn the key in his car — Tim and his wife Kim pursued a functional medicine evaluation at Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center. His protocol included thyroid support, UVB ozone therapy, and Low Dose Antigen (LDA) therapy. Today, more than five years later, Tim reports being symptom-free and medication-free and is back to building homes. His experience also inspired a new focus on mold-conscious home construction. No compensation was provided in exchange for sharing his story.
