The body hosts multiple microbiomes, including those in the mouth (oral microbiome), on the skin (skin microbiome), and in the vaginal area (vaginal microbiome), which must be in balance.The good bacteria in your gut microbiome help strengthen your gut lining and keep harmful bacteria under control. But things like antibiotics, herbicides like glyphosate, junk food, medications, stress, alcohol, pollution, and smoking can throw your microbiome off balance. When that happens, it can lead to fewer neurotransmitters, blood sugar issues, bad bacteria spreading into the small intestine, SIBO, inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies.Dr. William Davis has come up with an incredible way to grow your own probiotics. His work is based on research by Dr. Irina Conboy, who studied the microbe L. reuteri and its effects in rats. Rats given L. reuteri had better fur, healed faster, built more muscle, showed more interest in mating, had a stronger immune system, and even showed anticancer benefits.What's great is that these same benefits have been seen in humans, too!

PREVENT ALZHEIMER"S (Free Guide): https://www.theprimal.com/lab/the-true-cause-of-alzheimers-disease-dementia A new hypothesis suggests another potential mechanism at play, one involving fructose. Today, fructose is consumed mainly in highly concentrated forms such as fruit juice, dried fruit, and high fructose corn syrup in soda and ultra-processed foods. According to metabolic health and Alzheimer's scientists, this abundance of fructose in our modern diet may be starving our brain's memory center due to a genetic survival trait. Rina sits down with Dr. Richard Johnson to discuss his revolutionary new hypothesis on the link between fructose consumption and Alzheimer's disease. Rina and Dr. Johnson discuss the evolutionary mechanism behind fructose metabolism, insulin resistance, and weight gain that has completely backfired today due to its overconsumption. Dr. Richard Johnson is a professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Denver and has been a practicing physician and clinical scientist for over 25 years.

    This episode features Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz), who specializes in treating insulin resistance with a high fat Ketogenic Diet. Dr Boz has over 20 years of clinical experience treating the underlying root cause of many chronic health problems: insulin resistance. In this episode, Dr Boz explains how high insulin levels lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia, high blood pressure, hormonal dysregulation, and the mechanism by which this happens. Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.5minutebody.com/lab/spot-insulin-resistance-no-labs-required Dr Boz explains exactly what the hormone insulin is, its role in the body, and, most importantly, how insulin levels rise over time. We discuss the role of dietary carbohydrates and processed foods and how both feed insulin resistance. Dr. Boz also explains the 10 signs and symptoms of insulin resistance so you can spot high insulin levels visibly without requiring blood work or labs. Dr. Boz explains the role of a Ketogenic Diet and why ketosis (ketones) is extremely important for healing chronic inflammation. We discuss the Dr. Boz ratio, which is an adaptation of the GKI index (also used in metabolic therapy for the treatment of cancer), and what numbers you need to lose weight, heal chronic inflammation, and reverse insulin resistance. This episode is important if you have insulin resistance. You will learn the simple science of how insulin levels become chronically elevated, how this relates to most chronic diseases and the simple signs and symptoms to spot insulin resistance.
