Subtitle: After 13 surgeries and years of misdiagnosis, Rogers turns her journey into a thriving wellness brand—RogersHood Apothecary—empowering hundreds of thousands worldwide.
In the world of health and healing, few figures are as compelling—or as courageous—as Kim Rogers. Once entrenched in the world of Western medicine, Kim is now better known online as the “Worm Queen,” a moniker earned on TikTok for her unapologetic deep-dives into parasite detox and holistic health. But the title is more than viral—it’s personal.
Her journey began from a place of pain and frustration. A seasoned healthcare executive who once ran 25 colleges and authored medical textbooks, Kim faced a personal health crisis in 2019 that traditional medicine couldn’t solve. Despite enduring 13 surgeries and losing nine organs in the process, she found no lasting relief—until she took matters into her own hands.
By 2020, Kim left Western medicine behind to explore alternative healing. Through extensive research and self-experimentation, she discovered her chronic illness was linked to parasites—specifically cryptosporidium parvum, roundworm, flukes, and pinworms. With her newfound clarity, she began a parasite cleanse and experienced a dramatic recovery.
This breakthrough sparked a mission. Determined to help others bypass the pain she had endured, Kim joined forces with self-healing advocate Erica Mixon in 2021 to launch RogersHood Apothecary. What began in a 175-square-foot backyard shop has now grown into a 10,000-square-foot wellness empire.
RogersHood Apothecary quickly gained traction, especially through Kim’s magnetic social media presence. Crowned the “Worm Queen” by her followers, Kim’s transparency and passion turned her into a beacon for those seeking answers outside conventional healthcare systems. The brand’s flagship product, the ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit, has sold over 150,000 units, with customers from around the globe reporting improved health and vitality.
The company’s offerings now include a Heavy Metal Detox Kit, Moldeze detoxification, and starting May 2025, the all-new LymF Kit, which supports lymphatic drainage and systemic wellness. All products are third-party tested, gluten-free, safe for children over 3, and include nut-free options—underscoring the brand’s commitment to quality and accessibility.
But for Kim, this isn’t just a business—it’s a movement.
“We’re not just raising awareness—we’re giving people real tools to reclaim their health,” Kim explains. “I want people to understand their bodies, to advocate for themselves, and to know that natural, holistic healing is not just possible—it’s powerful.”
RogersHood is more than a store; it’s a platform. Offering free resources like ebooks, cookbooks, and guides, Kim is democratizing health information and pushing back against a system that often ignores root causes in favor of symptom management.
Kim’s journey is far from over. With every product launched and every testimonial received, she is reinforcing the message that healing is possible—even when the odds are stacked high. “If I had found this cleanse earlier, I might have avoided a hysterectomy,” she reflects.
Her vision is bold: a global shift in how we view health, illness, and healing. One where education, empowerment, and empathy replace silence, dismissal, and despair. And judging by the momentum behind RogersHood Apothecary, that future may be closer than we think.
