Dr. Matt Delgado is Chiropractor, author, and educator who was given the lifelong diagnosis of Graves’ Disease at the young age of 27. He was given a treatment protocol of three options.

His choices included the options of surgery, radioactive iodine, or taking medication for the rest of his life. Matt refused all options and chose a fourth one for himself, which included putting himself in the right conditions, allowing his body to do what it already knew how to do: heal.

Matt’s “disease” went into remission and has never come back. His book is titled “Stepping Out of the Grave: How to Heal When You’re Tired of Trying” and will be published in January 2026.

It took Matt ten years to understand why and how he was able to heal from Graves’ disease, until he tested the same approach against thousands of patients and the conditions where modern medicine hands a prescription and walks away from: chronic pain, hormone problems, gut issues, anxiety. What he found is simple, and a little inconvenient for an industry enriched by complexity. Which is that the nervous system holds the keys to nearly everything, and most of what we’ve been told is permanent, isn’t.

Matt explains that a wilting plant doesn’t need a new pot. It needs sun and water. The body has its own version: sleep, stress, movement, and toxins. While everyone bends down to pick up pennies, supplements stacked on supplements, the dollars sit on the table in plain sight. It’s simple. It’s not easy. And it’s time people took their power back.

In this episode, Matt shares valuable insights and information to help listeners understand that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves, how to listen to our body and to the messages it’s sending us, and how to create a healthy environment for our body, mind, spirit, and nervous system complete the task that nature intended. The capacity to heal itself.
