Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that commonly causes digestive symptoms like abdominal pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, and appetite loss.

Is a Thyroid Disorder or a Gut Issue Causing Your Symptoms? Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

Though it's often overlooked or misunderstood, there is a strong gut-thyroid connection. This may make it tricky for patients to pinpoint what's causing their symptoms of brain fog, fatigue, gas, bloating, and anxiety.

In this podcast, I walk through the treatment of a patient of mine, Beth, whose labs showed she had hypothyroidism, but despite taking thyroid medication and trying a variety of diets like autoimmune paleo and low FODMAP, she still wasn't feeling relief. Tune in to learn how we helped her feel better by looking at the whole picture: her labs, symptoms, health history, and her response to treatment.

Healing Your Gut After Mercury and Mold Exposure Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

When Julie came into the clinic, she was doing many things right - like cutting out certain inflammatory foods and managing stress levels. However, her symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal pain, and distention were disrupting her life.

Dr. Joe Mather, medical director of The Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine, focused on finding the root causes of her symptoms to help formulate a treatment plan and help her feel better.

Some of these treatments included eating an anti-inflammatory diet, incorporating a gut-healing supplement powder, and beginning a binder protocol to detox from mercury and mold exposure.

If you're trying everything to heal and are still not feeling better, you may, like Julie, need to trust what your gut is telling you and dig deeper to find the root cause of your symptoms.

Watch Julie's story and learn how the specific dietary, supplemental, and environmental changes we recommended improved her digestion and overall well-being.

Can You Slow Aging With Epigenetics? Mar 02, 2022

Advances in epigenetics show exciting potential for helping to treat disease and slow the aging process.

Her groundbreaking clinical trial found that biological age can be reversed by more than 3 years by introducing simple diet and lifestyle modifications. In short, genetics do not necessarily determine our health destiny.

Do Probiotics Help Children's Respiratory Infections? Feb 28, 2022

Show notes

Recent clinical trials on the use of probiotics with children found evidence of effectiveness for colic, intestinal infection, atopic dermatitis, and upper respiratory infection. New benefits were identified for adults, as well.

The studies include a look at the benefits of dead vs. live probiotics, which should be of interest to anyone who has ever forgotten to put the bottle back in the fridge.

Evidence continues to mount for the potential of probiotic supplements to address a wide variety of health conditions in people of all ages.
