Dr. Tony Ebel interviews Allie Christine, a holistic health coach, future naturopathic doctor, and mother of six, who shares the remarkable healing journey of her son Liam. After experiencing regression following his 12-month vaccines, Liam lost his words, developed sensory issues, eczema, and gut problems, heading toward an autism diagnosis. Rather than accepting this as his fate, Allie trusted her instincts and embarked on a healing journey using whole foods, detox protocols, and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. Today, Liam is thriving, fully conversational, and free of autism symptoms.

This episodes guest is Dr. Ben House from Functional Medicine Costa Rica.  This is Ben's second appearance on the ATSW podcast, having been previously on the show back on episode 119. Functional Medicine Practitioner (CFMP). House was accepted to medical school without an undergraduate degree, but rescinded because during this time his father was fighting for his life with debilitating diverticulitis. The conventional medical model prescribed him pain killers, antibiotics, saltine crackers, and white bread. This pushed House to question the sick care model and look for the underlying lifestyle and dietary factors that could be the reason why his father was in so much pain. Lo and behold his father had Celiac disease and within a week of removing all grains and diary from his diet he was symptom free. This was Dr. House’s first taste of Functional Medicine and he knew at that moment that this would be his life’s passion. Since then he has studied under some of the best in the world and continues to regularly attend and present at conferences and seminars around the world. As a strength coach, House has worked at both the high school and collegiate levels, including time under Coach Wright at the University of Texas Basketball. Besides practicing Functional Med, coaching, and writing articles for Functional Medicine Costa Rica, House has numerous publications in peer-reviewed, high-impact scientific journals. House blends his knowledge of research and Functional Medicine with years of experience working directly with a variety of different clients. On this episode Ben and I discussed: Ben gives us a brief background and introduction Ben and I discuss how much hypertrophy is necessary for health  I ask Ben to discuss how to optimize testosterone production I ask Ben what testing does he like to use to assess someones testosterone levels - blood, saliva, and. or urine? I ask Ben what interventions does he like to utilize to enhance testosterone production I ask Ben about about how concussion can lead to a leaky brain and gut barrier I ask Ben - would he ever recommend someone to decrease their daily step count to help enhance hypertrophy gains? I ask Ben how does he set an individuals caloric needs and macro-nutrients?  I ask Ben about the polarized topic of energy in and out and hormonal regulation when it comes to weight and body composition management  Finally I ask Ben - if he could invite 5 people to dinner, dead or alive, who would he invite and why?

Ep. 236: Hemorrhoid Horror In this episode, Stacy and Sarah tackle hemorrhoids and what to do about them, much to Stacy's horror! Click the picture above to be taken to iTunes   If you enjoy the show, please review it in iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 236: Hemorrhoid Horror Intro (0:00) News and Views (0:40) This week is about poop and hemorrhoids! Stacy is THRILLED! Stacy just can't help but imagine people going through... situations when they ask these kind of questions. The signs of health in your digestion is very readily identifiable in your poop, but because people don't have anyone to talk to about it, they don't have much guidance on how to read these signs. Question from Cyndi (7:11): "Since you both took charge and spoke about POOP, I figured I would ask this FUN question! What do people who have AI do with PAINFUL internal hemorrhoids? I have had them now for 3 months (I ate some Tootsie Rolls at Thanksgiving) and have tried a variety of things to help them (AIP eating, epsom salt baths, FUN suppositories, ointments, creams, meditation, exercise, kombucha & finally started taking over the counter pain meds) but it's still hanging around. It's been like that family member who comes for the holidays and NEVER leaves! My sleep has been wonky during this time and I wake up around 4:30 am to have a BM with URGENCY & wicked pain! I saw a Gastro PA this week and they gave me Metamucil powder to use 2x a day and suppositories 2x a day (which I think makes it worse but why listen to me???). PA said "since they are internal, you may need to think about surgery." Sooooooo, what am I missing? Do I need to give myself more time to heal since I have always been super sensitive to anything related to my GUT and BUTT? I am seeing a Functional Med. Dr. Feb 2 and will bring this up with him as well, Thank you for your help and guidance!" Metamucil is Psyllium husk. It is a soluble fiber that is used to treat constipation. Some people are sensitive to it, see Sarah's post. When Stacy's kids get constipation, she increases fruits and vegetable and water in their diets. Fiber is key for regularity! She also says to eat predigested foods: cooked veggies, long braises, etc. When doctors recommend thing you don't usually eat, ask why they are recommending it. For example, she asks if apple juice and broth can be used in place of Pedialyte. What are hemmorhoids? An swollen or inflamed vein in the rectum or anus. Internal ones are much more of an issue because they are irritated more frequently and are harder to reach with pain relief creams and such. The cause is unknown, but is assumed to be a combination of constipation, poor vascular health, and inflammation. They are not life threatening and don't usually require surgery because they will go away after a few weeks. Usual recommendation is avoiding constipation with fiber, water, and stool softeners. Sarah loves Omega-3 fats, antioxidants, and Coenzyme Q10. Vegetables are the perfect food to fight this! Soluble fiber bulks stool and slows down digestion. Insoluble fiber speeds it up. So hemorroids probably need more insoluble fiber like leafy greens. But a balance of both is important. Also, a Squatty Potty or other stool stool would also help. Sitting at 90 degrees makes you "poop around a corner" while the squatting position unkinks the colon. See Sarah's review. For the pain and swelling, use witch hazel wipes. And if you have to have surgery, so be it. At least you solved your issue! Prunes and prune juices because of the polyols. They draw water into the colon, similar to magnesium supplements. Because people tend to be deficient in magnesium anyway, Sarah recommends magnesium supplements instead. Metamucil and psyllium husk may increase blockages, or exacerbate cancer. But, occasional use probably isn't an issue. Metamucil probably has a lot of extra junk in it as well. What about enemas? Sarah DOES NOT believe that there is anything but trouble in coffee enemas! See her post and just drink the coffee A regular Fleet enema is not an issue because it doesn't go too far up to affect gut bio diversity, but should be a regular thing you do. If you're using an enema once a week, seek further medical attention! Do not do an enema to "keep your belly flat". Come on! Glycerine suppositories are also ok once in a while. These are for people who want to avoid major constipation because constipation can be a SERIOUS issue! Pooping should be easy and enjoyable! If it's not, look for the culprit. Usually it's lack of fiber, nutrient deficiency, gut dysbiosis, lack of sleep, or hormone imbalance. You can work on all of these. If sleep is your issue, we recommend Go to Bed Stacy made it through a butt show! Wicked, you guys. Straight out of Mass! Be wicked smaht! Remember: we aren't doctors!
