#147 Firstly, how are you? It's a rather surreal time in our world at the moment and I hope that you are keeping safe and sane. As mentioned in the last episode I will not dedicate all of my upcoming podcast episodes to Covid - 19. I feel it's important to have platforms where we can fill our brains, mind and body with content other than Covid-19. If you are after some informative podcasts and webinars on covid-19 I recommend Chris Kresser, Gregg Braddon and even Patrick Mckeown. They have some practical and easily accessible tools to help keep the calm and support the self, mind and body during these times. So on that note, let me introduce my podcast guest. Dr Micheal Ruscio. Michael Ruscio is a doctor of natural medicine, Doctor of Chiropractic, clinical researcher and author whose practical ideas on healing chronic illness have made him an influential voice in functional and alternative medicine. His work has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals and he speaks at integrative medical conferences across the globe. Dr. Ruscio also runs an influential website and podcast at DrRuscio.com, in addition to his clinical practice located in northern California. In this episode we cover If SIBO exists What is SIBO not How do we currently test for SIBO What are the testing pitfalls and how do we avoid them Why is SIBO treatment not necessary for all who have SIBO Are SIBO treatments effective Dr Ruscio’s recommendation to practitioners who may be overzealous with SIBO investigation It’s always interesting to get a different view from practitioners and while at times I was challenged personally I do appreciate having these conversations and the different insight. Make sure you listen to next week’s podcast (or the one after) where some of these views may yet again be challenged.  

These days, when people ask me the #1 book I recommend for all things gut, it is, hands down "" by Dr. Michael Ruscio. This book takes a deep dive into topics such as: How the gut works and its role in your body, Practical diet and lifestyle advice to support your gut health, Simple and actionable tools to repair your gut, and An innovative, user-friendly plan to heal, support, and revitalize your gut. This is Dr. Ruscio's third appearance on the podcast. The first one, titled  talked about why apparently healthy people, especially athletes and exercise enthusiasts, get broken guts, and what they can do about it. Then, the second podcast, titled , was an in-depth discussion on carbs and their effect on your body. What will his third appearance on the podcast reveal??? Quite a bit, as you will hear. About the guest: Michael Ruscio is a doctor, clinical researcher and best-selling author whose practical ideas on healing chronic illness have made him an influential voice in functional and alternative medicine. His work has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals and he speaks at integrative medical conferences across the globe. Dr. Ruscio also runs an influential website and podcast at DrRuscio.com, as well as his clinical practice located in northern California. During my discussion with Dr. Ruscio, you'll discover: -What small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is...6:40 Dr. Ruscio's interest in this goes back 5 years. Focused on improving the health of bacteria. Observations don't always translate into practical action inside a clinic. You differentiate the discrepancies when you separate the large and small intestine. What's going on in the large intestine isn't indicative of the small. A lot of "gut advice" is large intestine-centric. Small intestine comprises 56% of gut activity. Most prone to leaky gut Most immuno active Where 90% of calories are absorbed Bacterial overgrowth is either an overgrowth of or the wrong type of bacteria in the small intestine Not a parasite Native to your system; either in the wrong place or too much of it. -How SIBO affects the thyroid...12:33 Many people who think they have a thyroid condition actually do not. 60% of people who were rechecked were found not to be hypothyroid. Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be mistaken for other problems in the GI tract. Study done on people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) Higher incidence of fatigue, depression and anxiety found They were not hypothyroid Another study looking at 1800 patients Looking for drug use, medication use, prior intestinal surgery; expected these to increase risk of SIBO Two most correlated conditions: being hypothyroid and being on thyroid medication. 290 were taken off medication and retested; 60% were not hypothyroid Neither antibodies, nor weight, nor time on medication dictated whether were hypo or normal thyroid. Speak with your doctor to confirm whether you're hypothyroid or not. Be wary if you were diagnosed by someone outside of conventional medicine. -The testing and protocol for SIBO Dr. Ruscio recommends...22:15 For testing thyroid: test TSH and Free T4 If within normal range, you likely don't have a thyroid problem. For SIBO, two practical options; breath tests. One uses glucose, the other uses lactulose -About the elemental diet. What it is and how it works...27:30 Hypoallergenic, gut-healing meal replacement shake. Absorbs in the first part of small intestine Rests the remainder of the small and large intestine Starves overgrowth Not as difficult as it may sound. -The African vs. the Westerner microbiota, and whether or not it's a good idea to try to mimic our ancestors...32:20 Challenge lies in excising just one element out of an entire culture, and inserting it into a totally different population. Many African tribes have parasites in their bodies. Hard to replicate their diet because their bodies have adapted to their specific environment. -What happened when the Sardinians tried to eliminate malaria...39:07 Back in 1950's, Sardinia had a high rate of malaria; cases of MS skyrocketed. Sardinian immune system learned to function with malaria. Once taken away, the immune system didn't know what to do. Created unforeseen adverse consequences. The malaria may have actually strengthened their immune systems. Article: -Why we should have more naturally occurring plant life around our home...43:05 -Dr. Ruscio's comments on probiotics...44:55 Most probiotics do not colonize you. Can help reset the microbiota to a healthy equilibrium. Works in tandem with a healthy lifestyle. Think of it as a "nudge" to complement your lifestyle to reset to a healthy equilibrium Should kids use probiotics? The earlier an antibiotic is used, the more detrimental; the earlier a probiotic is used, the more beneficial it is. Can probiotics "seed" the gut? A lot of outlandish claims to market the product. The more a product is marketed, the more claims are made about it. May be unsubstantiated. Ecoli used as a probiotic? -Why we would be "surprised" about dietary fiber...56:30 The amount of data Dr. Ruscio had to sort through almost made him quit writing his book. There have been no consistent benefits shown from high dietary fiber intake. Fiber enthusiasts cherry pick the data from which they make their claims to its efficacy. Carnivore diet: Results are varied on patients Dr. Ruscio has treated who have used it. Focus more on simplifying your diet. A "lazy" diet. -Whether or not melatonin can help with leaky gut...1:03:37 Focus on sleep quality. Use melatonin carefully, to supplement healthy lifestyle.

How gut problems like dysbiosis and IBS not only affect the stomach system but the brain and our moods as well. Types of skin issues might occur if a person has a leaky gut. What advanced interleukins testing is and how it helps to check for inflammation. Why each person needs to figure out how gluten affects their individual body compared to focusing on avoiding it at all cost. The benefits of the elimination diet to help your body heal and better understand if any foods affect your body. Why the Ketogenic diet isn't for everyone even though it's all everyone is talking about. Why there is no "should" or "should not" when it comes to dieting and eating in a way that matches your individual needs. How some culture's gut microbiotas, lifestyles, and diets can actually be harmful to other people with a different genetic background. Why you shouldn't be spending hundreds of dollars on gut health testing as your first step towards healing. What you should know about the health claims that some clinics are making without any sound evidence. How being fatigued can be connected to how much you're pooping each week. His self-care practice of listening to music, meditating, and spending time in solitude to reflect and think.

Why taking the minimal suggested dose is so important when it comes to taking any kind of medicine including cannabis. Why slowing down and take your health step by step and observing changes might just be what you need to do to heal. Power Quotes From The Show "There is this connection between the brain and the gut. When you see a problem in the gut, you will almost always see that manifest in the brain. The Enteric Nervous System of the gut is basically your second brain." - @DrRuscio on @WellnessForce Radio wellnessforce.com/236 "When it comes to their health, people make things more complicated than they need to be. They overcomplicate things because they hear other tidbits and have a hard time following just one lead. Or they overcomplicate things in the sense of thinking that in order to follow this protocol, they have to do everything perfectly. The biggest thing people can do is to just find a simple system like the one in Healthy Gut, Healthy You, just chill out, and do their best to go through it." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "If you're someone on a budget and you're trying to get healthy, then do not spend hundreds of dollars on one of these tests because they really don't deliver on the promise that they're making. It's unfortunate that I have to be blowing the whistle here but I'd like it if these companies didn't make these pretty lofty health claims when there really isn't any data to support them." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "Slow down, do one thing at a time, and realize that to learn what your body needs, you can't do 7 things at once. Do one thing for a few weeks and then move onto the next. Learn to listen to your body and trust what it says." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   Links From Today's Show Dr. Michael Ruscio Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ Pinterest Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio WFR 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio - The Orthorexia Connection WFR 223 Dr. Michael Ruscio - Healthy Gut, Healthy You Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Mapping Your Microbiota – Health Miracle or Hyperbole, with Professor Rob Knight Medical Cannabis – CBD Reduces Inflammation, Is Immunomodulatory and The Effect Can be Obtained Without “Getting High”, with Dr. Chris Meletis Dr. Ruscio's Great-In-8 Action Plan Your "Second Brain" is In Your Gut Gluten Sensitivity – Prevalence & Association with Thyroid Autoimmunity Enteric Nervous System - Latest Research and Reviews The Microbiome Mind and Brain Interactions When Gluten Free Is Harmful: How Eating Grains and Gluten Improved Energy, Sleep and Pain – A Patient Conversation Evaluation of a fecal dysbiosis test for irritable bowel syndrome in subjects with and without obesity.

Food is not the enemy; we can use food strategically to help us heal. You don't have to follow such rigid diet rules to the point of feeling like you're failing unless you're putting in this daunting amount of effort. There are two diets you can begin with - Paleo or a low FODMAP diet. The beauty of these diets is that all you really need are 2-3 weeks to get a sense for if the diet is working for you. These diets won't 100% heal you in 3 weeks but you will be able to know whether you've improved or not. If you can't tell if you're improving or not, then move onto the next diet. - Dr. Michael Ruscio Activated charcoal, probiotics, antimicrobial herbs and more; there are so many different products as well as various forms of testing, research, and information available to help heal your gut but is it all necessary?

If inflammation is the instrument of the immune system, then we can connect these dots and conclude that one of the key sources of either immune to inflammatory conditions can be emanating from imbalances in the gut. This isn't just a far-reaching inference; we do know that the highest density of immune cells is contained in the small intestine." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "Within the rules of a Paleo or low FODMAP diet, you don't have to be 100% compliant with your diet. I expect people to miss a few meals. There might be a social function or a work event and you can have a drink or some not planned food. Do the best you can with what you have available to you but a few misses will not be the make or break between success and failure." - Dr. Michael Ruscio "When did becoming healthy and becoming a hypochondriac become synonymous with one another? They really shouldn't be. The whole point of becoming healthier is so that you're more resilient and you can enjoy occasional treats from time to time. If I want ice cream, I can have an ice cream because I've built up a robust enough level of health including gut health to allow me to have those indulgences." - Dr. Michael Ruscio   Links From Today's Show Dr. Michael Ruscio Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Google+ Pinterest WFR 119 Dr. Michael Ruscio - The Orthorexia Connection Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Dr. Michael Ruscio Dr. Ruscio Radio Podcast Mapping Your Microbiota – Health Miracle or Hyperbole, with Professor Rob Knight Dr. Ruscio's Great-In-8 Action Plan InsideTracker 23andMe WellnessFX NOW Super Enzyme Tablets Re-challenge Studies in Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Do You Really Want a Hunter-Gatherer Microbiota?

In this episode of The Dr. Hedberg Show, I interview Dr. Michael Ruscio and we discuss non-celiac gluten sensitivity, prebiotics, probiotics, the microbiome, SIBO, FODMAPs and much more.  You can read the transcript below. Michael Ruscio is a doctor, clinical researcher and best-selling author whose practical ideas on healing chronic illness have made him an influential voice in functional and alternative medicine. His work has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals and he speaks at integrative medical conferences across the globe. Dr. Ruscio also runs an influential website and podcast at DrRuscio.com, in addition to his clinical practice located in northern California. Dr. Hedberg: Okay. Well, welcome, everyone, to "The Dr. Hedberg Show." This is Dr. Hedberg. And I'm excited today to have a good friend and colleague on Dr. Michael Ruscio. We've known each other for quite a long time I think since I launched "The Infection Connection" back in around 2012, and Dr. Ruscio has a lot of expertise in the gut and the thyroid and autoimmune disease, so we'll be talking about some of that today. So, Dr. Ruscio, welcome to the show. Dr. Ruscio: Hey, thanks, for having me on. Dr. Hedberg: Great. Well, you and I have a lot in common in that most of what we do is driven by the literature and so why don't we jump in and talk about some of the latest work on non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Because gluten is really one of those... it's a big topic right now. A lot of people are avoiding gluten maybe unnecessarily. But why don't you talk a little bit about the latest research on non-celiac gluten sensitivity? Dr. Ruscio: Sure. And you're actually right. It's an important issue because I'm sure that if... whether you're a clinician listening to this or a patient or just a healthcare consumer you've likely heard of gluten-free dieting. You've probably known someone who's gone gluten-free and reported that they felt better eating gluten-free. It's certainly something that can help people. I think where we have to be careful is when we try to tell everyone that they have to eat like they have celiac disease. And it's kind of this mistake of falling into extreme ways of thinking or dichotomous ways of thinking where it's either all or none, 100% avoidance or total, you know, unrestricted gluten in the diet. And for some people, that's absolutely true, for some people they have to be very diligent with gluten avoidance. But, and I guess one could ask the question, "Well, if it's a potential problem, if gluten in the diet is a potential inflammatory or detrimental food then why not just avoid it?" Well, because that poses some psychological and psychosocial stressors on people. It can be difficult and I certainly see patients who come in afraid of food and it's causing an impairment of their social life because of it. And so these are serious things that do have documented influences on your health. Fear, stress and social connectivity or lack thereof have been documented to have truly profound impacts on various measures of health. So this is important to have a nuanced idea of what we should be recommending for gluten avoidance. And there was a multicenter study performed in Italy, and a group of different physicians and gastroenterologists, essentially comprised a 60-point assessment for identifying and tracking those who had non-celiac gluten sensitivity and also correlating what other symptoms and conditions non-celiac gluten sensitivity was associated with. And just for the audience, you have celiac and then if you're not diagnosable as celiac but you still seem to have a negative reaction to gluten then you can be labeled non-celiac gluten sensitivity. And what they found was very interesting. They found that 0.3% of the population that was studied and rigorously evaluated trying to identify non-celiac gluten sensitivity, looking at symptoms, physical exam, lab testing.

Many people suffer for years (even decades) from symptoms like depression, heartburn, fatigue and diarrhea that can be traced back to the foods they’re eating. On today’s podcast with Dr. Michael Ruscio, a practitioner of functional medicine, we talk about how elimination diets and natural medicine can knock out these symptoms as well as serious infections, while helping restore balance to your body. Consuming foods you’re intolerant to can cause inflammation and damage to the lining of your intestines. “If you damage that lining, then you wipe out the army that protects your body from parasites and other types of infections,” Dr. Ruscio says. Thankfully, the intestine lining can be rebuilt after just a few days. But the rest of the body can take months to heal. "Additionally, your immune system in the gut has been in red alert for so long that it ends up attacking everything, which can make you hyper sensitive and can lead to an autoimmune disease,” Dr. Ruscio says. What Foods You Should Avoid Dr. Ruscio likes to put his patients on restricted diets to see which foods are causing trouble. He typically starts with telling patients to restrict these foods: gluten-containing grains. -buckwheat, millet, rice. -dairy -soy -eggs -nuts and seeds. -nut shaped vegetables -high sugar foods, high processed foods. While encouraging them to eat more: -Meats + fish (that are low on the mercury chain) -Veggies -Fruits “Dietary interventions should always come first,” Dr. Ruscio says. “If the symptoms are still present after 30 days, then it’s the right time to do some testing and find out if the infection is being adequately treated.” Click above to listen or go to bit.ly/OSFPodcast to listen to the whole interview!
