ABOUT THE HOST, GUEST & PATIENT

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.

Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt — Founder & Medical Director, Deeper Healing
Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt is a leading Environmental and Functional Medicine Physician and Founder of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center in Charleston, South Carolina. He stands at the forefront of physicians who refuse to accept there is nothing more that can be done. After his own health crisis pushed him beyond the limits of conventional medicine, he trained in environmental medicine and has since helped hundreds of patients uncover the hidden root causes behind their chronic illness — including mold exposure, toxin overload, heavy metal burden, and immune dysfunction. In this episode, he breaks down the science behind environmental exposures and autoimmune responses through the lens of Kelly’s clinical case.

Kelly — Patient, Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center
Kelly struggled with severe skin sensitivities since childhood, which eventually progressed into debilitating eczema on her hands. The condition became so severe that she wore white gloves daily because the skin on her hands would crack and bleed. After conventional treatments including steroid creams failed to produce lasting improvement, Kelly pursued a functional medicine evaluation at Deeper Healing. The team explored possible environmental contributors to her symptoms — including her childhood proximity to an aluminum factory — and built a protocol addressing her body burden of metals, molds, and chemicals. Kelly reports significant skin improvement and that her severe hand eczema has resolved. No compensation was provided in exchange for sharing her story. Her experience is one person’s account and is not a representation of typical outcomes.
