Why do high performers burn out and get sick? In this episode, Dr. Erika Schultz explains her Resiliency Method—a phased approach to root-cause healing that blends Chinese medicine, functional medicine, and clinical nutrition to restore nervous system balance, reverse chronic illness, and support long-term longevity.
In this episode of the Hormone Heroines Podcast, Dr. Erika Schultz—creator of the Resiliency Method—shares a powerful framework for moving from chronic illness to vibrant, long-term health. With a doctorate in Chinese medicine and training in functional medicine and clinical nutrition, Dr. Erika bridges ancient wisdom and modern science to uncover true root causes of disease.
She explains that many high-functioning individuals are unknowingly trapped in high-cortisol overdrive. Their nervous systems remain locked in sympathetic “fight-or-flight,” driving inflammation, immune dysfunction, hormonal disruption, and eventually autoimmune and neurocognitive decline.
The Resiliency Method follows a structured three-phase approach. Phase 1 focuses on removing barriers to healing by identifying stealth infections, parasites, and environmental or heavy metal toxins, while also restoring nutrition by addressing digestion, absorption, and nervous system stress. Phase 2 emphasizes terrain healing—helping the immune system become adaptable rather than hyperreactive, reversing food sensitivities, and initiating detoxification at the cellular level.
Phase 3 is the longevity phase, where deeper repair occurs. This includes addressing cellular senescence, releasing toxins stored in fat, brain tissue, the liver, and even the thoracic spine, and using advanced tools such as hydrogen inhalation therapy to mobilize calcifications and chronic inflammatory “phlegm.”
Throughout the episode, Dr. Erika translates Chinese medicine concepts into modern biomedical language, explaining how ancient ideas like phlegm correlate to chronic immune responses, calcification, and autoimmunity. She also discusses the advanced diagnostics she uses, including Neural Zoomer testing, heart sound analysis, and thermography, to track neurological and systemic healing.
Her ultimate goal is empowerment—helping patients recognize that the body is intelligent, capable of healing, and far more powerful than they’ve been led to believe.
Dr. Erika Schultz is a doctor of Chinese medicine, functional medicine practitioner, and creator of the Resiliency Method. Her work integrates ancient healing principles with modern diagnostics and clinical nutrition to help patients recover from chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and nervous system dysregulation. Dr. Erika specializes in working with high performers and entrepreneurs, guiding them toward resilience, longevity, and true root-cause healing.
