172: STRUCTURE AND SIMPLICITY -- Practical Insights and Clinical Highlights Jan 24, 2024

Show notes

Patients are our best teachers.
This week Dr. Michelle and Dr. Dave were inspired to discuss a couple of cases of decreased functional immunity and pancreatic pseudocyst to illustrate the importance of simplicity (whole person health) and structure, respectively.
Dr. Dave highly recommends that anyone dealing with pancreatic disorders (especially if unrelated to excessive smoking and drinking) have an assessment with a clinician who practices visceral manipulation (as taught by the Barral Institute) so as to have a better STRUCTURAL understanding of clinically relevant anatomy that could be contributing to this 'idiopathic' condition.

171: BLOATED HYPE ABOUT SIBO -- Have We Become Hyperfocused on SIBO and Are We Missing Other Key Contributing Factors? Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

SIBO is a framework, a perspective, a piece of the puzzle in many cases of gastrointestinal disorders that many proactive and health-savvy patients know quite a bit about. From the integrative clinician's perspective, it sounds very 'science-y', has some clear-cut borders, guidelines etc. for assessment and testing and outcomes, and it sounds (maybe a little overly) simple and clear in these respects.
But is it a case of "much ado about .... SIBO"?

166: BAD BREATH STINKS, LITERALLY: But is it Just a Mouth Issue or Something Deeper? Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

Halitosis, or bad breath, can originate from various sources, primarily driven by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced by oral bacteria during the putrefaction of food particles. Mouth breathing exacerbates this issue by reducing saliva flow, allowing bacteria to thrive. While oral causes include poor oral hygiene and gum disease, extraoral factors like diet, systemic diseases, and respiratory conditions contribute to the multifaceted origins of halitosis.
