You're going to learn four specific areas that anyone can use to heal their gut for good (and none of them are pills). The real blocker is the common state many people are in that shuts down digestion and irritates the gut lining. There are small timing tweaks that get your digestive juices to show up when they're supposed to, and things to change first so symptoms don't boomerang a few months later. This episode will make you re-think everything you knew about gut health.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:20] What actually causes symptoms to come back after a ‘gut protocol'[08:01] The reason your gut still struggles even when you ‘eat clean'[26:21] The simple timing shift that gets your digestive juices working again[40:05] Why blood sugar swings mess with your microbiome[48:53] The overlooked body system that keeps your gut detoxing properly[54:59] The most important thing to think about when the goal is to repair your gut long termResources Mentioned:Holistic Healing for Nina-Marie Rueda | BookBon Charge | Website (use code HHRD for a 15% off discount)RA Optics | WebsiteViva Rays | Website (use code HHRD for a discount)Spectra 479 | GlassesSleep ZM | GlassesPaleo Valley Essential Electrolytes | Website (use code HORMONEHEALINGRD10)Hormone Healing podcast episode Intro to Lymph Flow with Leah | Listen Now Hormone Healing podcast episode How To Have Healthy Digestion | Listen NowLearn about helpful nutrition habits, the different phases of your cycle, how to track, signs of good metabolic health, and so much more in my Free Healthy Period Starter Guide.Find more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok
Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQdmkOKCSjm/The Brits now tell us that they have some better remedies for the world's constipation woes and they don't include high fiber diets or harsh laxatives. A new meta-analysis from the nutritionists at King's College, London rigorously reviewed 75 clinical trials and gives us some better suggestions for constipation relief.When the data were crunched, it showed significant constipation relief from kiwifruit, rye bread, and mineral rich water. Also helpful were dietary supplements containing psyllium fiber, probiotics, and magnesium oxide. These suggestions are now endorsed by the British Dietetic Association. If you continue to suffer from hard, infrequent stools, why not give them a try. As you do, remember that enough daily water is critical for regular defecation. For adult men, that number is 125 oz and for women 91 oz. We parents do know that kiddies too can become constipated. The magic number for toddlers is 44 oz, for older children 57 oz, for young teen boys 81 oz, for girls 71 oz, for older teen boys 112 oz, for girls 78 oz. For everyone, the water requirements surge with hot weather, exercise, fever, diarrhea, and breastfeeding.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nmo.70173https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/11537/chapter/15#constipation #fiber #laxatives #water #grains #fruit

This week, I'm joined in my kitchen by the brilliant duo Holly Brooke and Joely Walker, the powerhouse founders behind We Are Regular — the gut health supplement brand that's changing the way we talk about going to the loo.In this refreshingly honest conversation, we dive deep (pun intended) into all things digestion, bloating, and bowel movements. Together, we share our very real personal journeys with constipation, the silent struggle so many of us face but rarely talk about — and explore why women are disproportionately affected by gut issues compared to men.Holly and Joely share how their experiences led to the creation of We Are Regular, and how they're breaking the stigma around poo talk by bringing humour, honesty, and science into the conversation. We also discuss the serious side of gut health — from the rising rates of bowel cancer in women to the importance of knowing your body and advocating for better awareness and prevention.If you've ever suffered in silence with bloating, IBS, or constipation — or just want to feel more comfortable talking about your gut health — this episode is for you. Expect laughs, lightbulb moments, and maybe even a little loo talk you didn't know you needed.Topics we discuss:Why poo'ing is so important for overall healthConstipation — the worst thing on the planet (and our personal journeys with it)How alcohol affects your bowel movementsWhy women get more constipated than menWhy going on holiday often leads to constipationThoughts on laxatives and why natural options are betterWhat's inside We Are Regular and how it worksOther ways to stay regular and support gut health naturallyLaunching We Are Regular and getting comfortable talking about poo in publicFunny poo stories and moments that keep it realSponsors:CALO - We are sponsored by CALO a food delivery service which provides nutritionist-approved, chef-made meals, delivered fresh, daily.

Dr. Michael Lou, hospital medicine at Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital, joins Jon Hansen, in for Dean Richards, for this week’s health update. They discuss the best foods to eat to avoid constipation and what to know about CKM syndrome.
We've all been told the same advice for decades: 'Eat more fibre if you're constipated.' From breakfast cereals to bran muffins, fibre has long been the go-to remedy for getting things 'moving.' But new research published in two major international journals, the Journal of Human Nutrition & Dietetics and Neurogastroenterology & Motility has just turned that advice on its head. It turns out that while a high-fibre diet is good for your overall health, the science doesn't actually support it as an effective treatment for constipation. The researchers looked at more than 75 clinical trials and rather than just counting grams of fibre, they focus on measurable outcomes like how often someone passes stools, whether straining occurs, and overall quality of life. They identified a few key foods and supplements that have solid evidence behind them: Kiwifruit – This one topped the list! Studies show it helps improve stool frequency and consistency. Rye bread – Rich in unique fibres and bioactive compounds that appear to support gut movement. Mineral-rich water – Particularly waters high in magnesium, which can naturally draw water into the bowel. Psyllium fibre, magnesium oxide, and certain probiotics – These supplements also showed evidence of helping reduce constipation symptoms. In contrast, general 'high-fibre diets' and popular senna-based laxatives were found to lack convincing scientific support for long-term effectiveness. Constipation isn't just uncomfortable, it can seriously affect quality of life. It's also incredibly common, especially among adults and older populations. Until now, most medical advice has been frustratingly simple: 'Eat more fibre and drink more water.' But the new research suggests that this one-size-fits-all approach is outdated. Fibre is still vital for heart health, gut bacteria, and blood sugar control. But when it comes to constipation specifically, it may not be the magic bullet we've all been led to believe.

In this episode, I sit down again with Mindy English, Orthopedic & Pelvic Health PT with a background in sports and orthopedics based here in Eagle, Idaho. Mindy and I have done several episodes together as part of our pelvic health series for female athletes, and this one takes on a topic that doesn't get enough attention: constipation, gut health, and how they connect to pelvic floor symptoms. We dive into how digestion, nutrition, and pelvic health are deeply interconnected—and how constipation can affect everything from athletic performance to prolapse symptoms. Mindy shares what she sees clinically in both adults and kids, and we talk through why simply “eating more fiber” often isn't the full solution. This conversation is real, relevant, and full of practical takeaways for athletes, coaches, and anyone who's ever struggled with gut issues or pelvic health symptoms.

Struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or “food baby” bloat after meals has become so common it's considered “normal.” In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN—Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research and a 25-year leader in functional medicine—to demystify SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You'll learn what SIBO is, why it keeps relapsing, and how a root-cause, functional approach can calm symptoms and restore, not just gut health, but overall vitality, for the long haul. They cover the classic SIBO symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation/diarrhea), how gut inflammation fuels brain inflammation (the gut–brain axis), and why quick fixes—like “nuking” the microbiome or leaning on a low-FODMAP diet—often miss the mark. Dr. Hill explains the body's three antimicrobial digestive secretions—stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile—plus motility and stress regulation, and how a phased strategy (reduce overgrowth → rebuild defenses → replete what SIBO depleted) can break the relapse cycle. They also discuss targeted probiotics (including Saccharomyces boulardii), when botanicals or antibiotics like rifaximin enter the picture, and why “just eating real, nutrient-dense food” and how you eat (meal spacing, slow, mindful chewing) can be as powerful as what you eat. Whether you've tried “everything” or you're just starting to connect the dots, this conversation gives you a practical roadmap to move beyond masking symptoms and start building foundations. What you'll learn SIBO 101: definition, symptoms, and why it's so common The gut–brain connection: how stress and inflammation impact motility & mood Why long-term low-FODMAP isn't a SIBO solution The role of acid, enzymes, and bile in controlling overgrowth Relapse prevention: phased protocols, motility support, and targeted probiotics Real-food nutrition, meal timing, and simple lifestyle upgrades that help Additional Resources: Ep 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Bristol Stool Chart NOTE: While we generally avoid direct affiliation/sales/commissions of products mentioned on the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, we've decided to make these SIBO kits available for purchase.

E344: The Constipation Epidemic - Natural Solutions for Poop Problems (From Infants to Adults) | The Prime Podcast Are you or someone in your family struggling with constipation? It's far more common than you think, affecting over half the population – from newborns to seniors. Yet, it's often dismissed as "normal" or incorrectly labeled as "hereditary." In Episode 344 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss declare this a true constipation epidemic and dive deep into the real causes and natural solutions. This comprehensive discussion covers everything you need to know about achieving healthy bowel function. The doctors explore essential nutritional strategies, emphasizing the importance of magnesium, proper hydration, movement, and why choosing plant soluble fiber over common supplements like Metamucil (psyllium) is crucial for feeding your vital microbiome. They also discuss the temporary effects of stimulants like caffeine. Beyond diet and lifestyle, this episode highlights the critical, often-overlooked neurological connection to gut health. Learn how: Your nervous system is the master controller of your entire GI tract. The birth process can create misalignments impacting infant pelvic nerves and leading to early constipation. Digestion begins in the mouth, and issues like poor latch can affect the whole system. Introducing solids (especially bananas) before a baby gets their first tooth can disrupt the gut, contributing to leaky gut and future food sensitivities. Chronic GI conditions like Crohn's or IBS are NOT genetically predetermined (hereditary myth) but often stem from impaired neurological communication. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie explain what constitutes a healthy bowel movement (and why it should feel good!) versus signs of dysfunction like hemorrhoids or pain. Discover practical tips like the corn/beet test for transit time and understand why addressing the neurological root cause through chiropractic care is key to resolving constipation for good. Trending Terms Explained: Constipation: Difficulty or infrequency in passing stools. Discussed as a widespread epidemic, not a normal state. Plant Soluble Fiber: Fiber from plant sources (vegetables, fruits) that feeds the microbiome, essential for gut health. Contrasted with psyllium husk (Metamucil). Microbiome: The community of bacteria in the GI tract influencing digestion, immunity, and brain function – your "second brain." Leaky Gut: Increased intestinal permeability, allowing particles into the bloodstream, potentially caused by introducing solids too early. Nervous System Control: The brain and nerves regulate all digestive processes; interference (subluxation) can cause constipation or diarrhea. Birth Process Trauma: Physical stress during birth potentially causing misalignments that affect nerves controlling infant bowel function. Hereditary (Myth): Debunking the idea that constipation or diseases like Crohn's are genetic, highlighting neurological response patterns instead. Key Takeaways: Constipation is common but NOT normal or hereditary. Aim for 1-2 comfortable bowel movements daily. Focus on hydration, movement, magnesium, and PLANT SOLUBLE fiber. Your nervous system dictates gut function – address the root cause. Birth trauma is a major factor in infant constipation. Wait for the first tooth before introducing solids to prevent leaky gut. Chiropractic care is vital for optimizing the nervous system control of the GI tract. CALL TO ACTION: Stop normalizing constipation! If you or your child are struggling, seek answers that address the root cause. A pediatric or family chiropractor focused on the nervous system can be a key part of your health team.

When you think of constipation, you might think it's having to push really hard, but it can also be passing too little stool, or going too infrequently. But constipation is more than just no pooping enough - it's a gateway to sysemic toxicity, immune issues, hormonal imbalances, bowel diseases, and so much more.If you're not having at least 2 bowel movements a day that pass with minimal effort, you're constipated. In this episode with Functional Nutritionist, Liz Roman ("The Poop Queen"), we're diving into the reason why you're constipated, what it really means, and how you can fix it. TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why you not pooping means that you're not detoxing Why you still feel crappy, even on a healthy diet The connection between bile flow, hormones and constipation Why symptoms like not sweating, feeling puffy or having itchy skin are warning signs of other problems The difference between "detoxing" and "drainage" Healing your skin Avoiding laxatives (and the problems with them) Modern air toxicity How to reverse constipation and have normal bowels again More from Liz Roman Instagram: @thepoopqueen Website: The Health Revival Show Podcast: Uncover Your Eyes Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
I get asked about hiatal hernias all the time inside my program. And usually, the fear goes something like this: “My doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia, and that means I'll always have acid reflux.” Unfortunately, this has caused a LOT of anxiety for my clients. Fortunately - it's WRONG. You can 100% get rid of acid reflux - even with a hiatal hernia. And you may not need surgery to do it. On today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about hiatal hernias: ALL the symptoms of hiatal hernia (including the ones you may have never heard of)The hidden causes of hiatal hernia—why it happens in the first placeNatural hiatal hernia treatments that don't involve invasive surgeryAnd how I reversed my own hiatal hernia during pregnancy - and saved myself months of pain and reflux If you've been told that your hiatal hernia will never go away, or that it's the reason you'll always have acid reflux, I hope this episode gives you hope and shows you EXACTLY what you can do about it.

In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney reconnects with longtime friend and colleague Dr. Anne-Ming Yeh—Stanford-trained pediatric gastroenterologist, integrative medicine specialist, and author of Constipation Conquered: A Holistic Guide to Your Child's Constipation.Together, they tackle a surprisingly common (and often frustrating) parenting challenge: constipation in kids. Dr. Yeh shares why she wrote her new book, how she blends evidence-based medicine with integrative approaches, and what parents can realistically do to help their kids—from picky toddlers to neurodivergent kids with unique needs.You'll learn:The truth about common constipation myths (spoiler: laxatives aren't evil).How to know whether your child's constipation is mild, moderate, or severe—and when to seek specialist care.Simple prevention tips: the right balance of fluid before fiber, why leafy greens act like a “broomstick for your gut,” and how bananas might be binding.Why the gut-brain connection matters, and how small daily rituals (from tea time to affirmations to Snoop Dogg's kids' album!) can actually support digestion.The difference between “mush” (softening stool) and “push” (helping the colon's muscles coordinate), and why some kids may need specialized therapies like biofeedback.Why integrative medicine is about both/and—using food as medicine when possible, and leaning on safe medications when necessary.This conversation is practical, reassuring, and yes—sometimes even funny. It's a reminder that while poop may not be a glamorous parenting topic, helping kids feel comfortable, confident, and healthy in their bodies is always worth it.______This episode is brought to you by Suvie: If dinnertime is your daily chaos hour, I've got something game-changing.It's called Suvie.

Work 1:1 with Colleen to heal your acne here.What if your acne isn't really about your skin at all?In this episode, I'm joined by Colleen Clesen, an aesthetician with a background in nutrition and dietetics. After struggling with her own breakouts and realizing how limited both dermatology and standard aesthetics training were, she went back to school to fill in the missing piece. Now she helps women connect the dots between acne, hormones, gut health, and daily skincare.We get into why gut health is usually the first place to look, what stool tests actually reveal, and how inflammation in the body shows up on your face. We also talk about the mistakes most people make with their skincare routines, why supporting the skin barrier matters as much as internal work, and how the liver and bile clearance play a critical role in clearing acne.

What Parents Need to Know about Gut Imbalance in Kids.When you think of gut issues in kids, it's easy to assume you'll see obvious digestive symptoms like constipation or tummy aches. But what if your child's mood swings, eczema, or constant colds were actually gut-related?This week on the podcast, we're exploring the less obvious signs of gut imbalance in children — the ones that often get missed or mistaken for unrelated problems. We'll tackle how skin, immunity, behaviour, and even food preferences are more connected to gut health than you might realise and how focusing on this one area can simplify your child's whole health picture.In this episode, we unpack:✅ The overlooked signs of poor gut health beyond digestion like eczema, fussy eating, and recurrent infections. ✅ Why these symptoms often get treated separately in conventional medicine and how the gut offers a unified root cause. ✅ How to spot the patterns in your child's symptoms that point back to gut imbalance. ✅ The gentle, realistic first steps you can take to restore your child's gut health without perfection or piles of supplements.

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary is joined by Ciara Corcoran to explore the well-known remedy Bryonia. Often summed up as the “bear with a sore head,” Bryonia is deeply associated with dryness, irritability, and the need to keep still. Ciara explains how these themes appear in both physical and emotional symptoms, making Bryonia a valuable remedy to keep in your home kit. First Impressions of Bryonia When Ciara first learned about Bryonia, she wasn't keen on it. It seemed grumpy, irritable, and hard to relate to. But as she studied it more, she realised how versatile it is. Far from being just an “irritable” remedy, Bryonia has a wide range of uses in acute illness and beyond. Key Physical Clues The hallmark of Bryonia is dryness. This can show up as: Dry coughs Dry fevers Dry mucous membranes Constipation with hard, dry stools Another key sign is the need to stay still. Any movement—whether turning in bed, walking, or even moving the eyes—can make symptoms worse. People needing Bryonia may lie quietly, preferring not to be disturbed. Pain and Pressure A unique feature of Bryonia is that pain often feels better with pressure. Someone with a painful chest cough might hold their ribs tightly, or a person with joint pain may press on the area for relief. This response is an important differentiator when choosing a remedy. Emotional Picture When unwell, Bryonia people want peace and space. They may come across as irritable or even snappy if interrupted. Unlike remedies such as Pulsatilla, which seek comfort and company, Bryonia types often say, “Leave me alone.” On a deeper level, Bryonia can reflect strong fears around financial security and risk-taking. Just as they resist movement physically, emotionally they may resist taking chances in life. Common Uses for Bryonia Headaches: Often bursting, left-sided, worse from movement, and aggravated by coughing. Coughs: Dry, painful, sometimes with the sensation of broken ribs, relieved by holding the chest. Fevers: Typically dry, with intense thirst. Vertigo: A sinking sensation, worse on moving the head. Constipation: Dry, hard stools linked to overall body dryness. Why Keep Bryonia Handy? Ciara explains that Bryonia often helps move people from one stage of illness to the next. It's particularly useful in colds, coughs, flu, and was one of the most used remedies during recent waves of respiratory viruses. Her advice: if you're unsure, remember these three signposts—dryness, irritability, and not wanting to move.

Send us a text "Feel, think, act, repeat." Teresa and Tom explore how 'intellectual constipation,' is a sign of a lack of creative outflow. In this episode, through personal examples of recent experiences, they share another angle around the difference between your true feelings, your intellect, and emotions. They emphasize the importance of accepting one's true feelings rather than relying solely on the intellectual programming of emotional reactions. They describe how to regain enthusiasm by respecting yourself enough to tune into your true feelings, then discern and fact find, before moving into action. We have been trained to look outside of ourselves first for direction and answers, which is backwards. "Simplifying things is key." The discussion touches on their experience and personal solutions around how they simplified areas such as health and spiritual information, while maintaining respecting others' journeys and choices. "It's liberating."They advocate for recognizing and trusting one's own inner wisdom gained from lifetimes as a soul, along with your inner Guidance to clarify what is a concept that no longer fits, and "programmed" emotions versus true feelings. This is a path for organized purposeful action and accomplishment with fulfillment.Discover spiritual truths delivered in a practical way in these three e-books created by The Wayshowers College.

What if the root of your child's health struggles isn't another cream, pill, or quick fix, but something much deeper?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nina Marie Rueda, a naturopath who works with children and families through a functional, integrative lens. Her own journey started during her first pregnancy, when she realized how little she'd supported her body and baby with nutrition.

Dr. Nina explains how testing works, why hair analysis often gives a clearer picture than blood work for children, and what common mineral patterns she sees in practice. The conversation is raw, practical, and full of insights for parents trying to make sense of their kids' health struggles without getting lost in overwhelm.You'll Learn:How a Bradley Method class shifted Dr. Nina's path to naturopathyWhat minerals actually do in kids' bodies and why they're essentialThe link between taste buds, zinc, and picky eatingWhy hair mineral tests show the long game while blood work is a snapshotCommon mineral patterns seen in children with eczemaHow heavy metals disrupt gut microbes and fuel skin issuesThe mineral imbalances behind sleep struggles in kidsWhy parents' own mineral status affects mealtime stressThe reason some kids' multivitamins should avoid iron and copperHow minerals shape digestion, detox, and resilience in childrenTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:47] Why minerals are the non-negotiable foundation for children's health[07:40] Hair testing versus blood work for understanding mineral balance in kids[13:05] Why picky eating in kids often comes down to mineral imbalances and taste buds[22:46] Eczema in kids and the role of mineral imbalances and heavy metals[39:43] How mineral imbalances and heavy metals disrupt children's sleep patterns[45:22] Choosing the right multivitamins for kids and why avoiding copper and iron matters[49:10] Making supplements part of daily family routinesResources Mentioned:Minerals & Gut Health Connection for Eczema Course | WebsiteGut and Minerals Free Resource | WebsitePicky Eaters Protocol | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Nina:Nerdy Notes with Nina Marie | SubstackDr. Nina Marie | WebsiteDr. Nina Marie | InstagramFind more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor?

Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing.

Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/4Rx14InFehESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339 Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong? In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night. Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years. Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication. If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family. MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs. Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue. "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth. The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you! Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high? Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast. Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them? Thanks for all your help and work you are putting out!
