Have you heard about the 'Hygiene Hypothesis'? It can mean that over-sanitized environments can impact health over the long term. Antibacterial products and hand sanitizers can wipe out a lot of the 'good' bacteria on our skin and in our gut. This can impact how our body functions and our health overtime. Today, we discuss this idea and how we can take action to be less germophobic :) Episodes mentioned in this one, include: Nutrition Nuggets 73 Plant Foods for Breakfast https://youtu.be/lej7xHKwEcw Nutrition Nuggets 20 Health Halo of Certain Foods https://youtu.be/hFegf5Dfmjw Ep 68 Food Waste https://youtu.be/f-NHsdolwJE Nutrition Nuggets 72 Greens https://youtu.be/Hio4uTJsi8E Ep 100 Benefits of Superfoods https://youtu.be/1-7WrIbF97M Nutrition Nuggets 27 Tomatoes https://youtu.be/886cMIVZmqU Enjoying the show?

Are your joints painful? Do you suffer from daily discomfort? As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined. In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good. Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death. Not to mention, they are just masking your pain... Giving you temporary relief... While this may sound all doom and gloom, I do have good news... There is an all-natural solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort... A REAL solution that allows you to get back to being YOU! And that solution is called Curcumin Gold made by my friends at Purality Health. Curcumin Gold contains Turmeric Curcumin Extract, Vegan Omega-3s, & Ginger Oil.

Dr. Michael Ruscio is a Digestion, Thyroid, and Functional Health Doctor, and the author of 'Healthy Gut, Healthy You'. He is also a welcome returning guest to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. Today with Dr. Jockers, Dr. Ruscio is talking about probiotics and how they can help with leaky gut and inflammation. What are some of the common misconceptions when it comes to probiotics? Do they need to be refrigerated? Do they need to be 'alive'? Are all probiotics the same? How should we go about categorizing them and knowing which ones are better for our gut mitochondria? Our understanding of probiotics has increased greatly in recent years and it's no longer just a case of swallowing whatever you have in the fridge and seeing if it works. Dr. Ruscio has a fantastic strategy for how to use probiotics effectively so as to get the best anti-inflammatory results. As always, we are confident that you will get a great deal of benefit from this episode. Please take a moment to share it with someone who is perhaps struggling with inflammation and eager to learn more about how to use probiotics for better gut health! Thanks, and let's dive into the show! "One of the most underappreciated aspects of probiotics (well, there are multiple mechanisms, but one of the most underappreciated) is that probiotics are actually fairly potent anti-microbials." - Dr. Michael Ruscio Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode: How do probiotics work? The Hygiene Hypothesis and growing up in sterile environments How important is it to keep probiotics alive at the right temperature? What are the different categories and species of probiotics? Using a combination of probiotics to avoid using antibiotics What's the best way to take probiotics? What does the research say about the benefits of prebiotics? Do prebiotics make probiotics work better? The difference between probiotics working for IBD and not IBS The effect that different diets can have on constipation Can you take a probiotic with an antibiotic? Reducing our microbial load to give our immune system a 'leg up' Looking at zonulin and its efficacy Are probiotics effective for H. pylori? What is Dr. Ruscio's 'Triple Probiotic' strategy? Is there a correlation between higher cost and a higher dosage of probiotics? Should you rotate your probiotics? Where do you start if you have IBS and are looking to use probiotics?

What is the connection between the gut microbiome and Alzheimer's Disease? Most of us know someone affected by the onset of old age and perhaps Alzheimer's Disease. So what can we do to prevent this gradual decline in memory, thinking, behavior, and social skills from happening to us or those we love? It turns out that we can start by looking at our gut for the answers. Today's expert is Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist, and six-time bestselling author.

A question we're being asked quite a lot is whether the extra lengths we're going to in terms of hygiene to protect us from COVID-19 might cause us immune problems later because we're living lives that are too clean.

But a report out this week says that, actually, it's the environment we've created - rather than the way we clean it - that matters, because modern living conditions and building materials select for the wrong sorts of microbes.

From the moment we're born, we're surrounded by microbes that shape our development, especially our immune systems. In the last few years, scientists have become especially interested in these microbes, collectively called the microbiome, and their influence on a variety of diseases and conditions.Here we talk to Assistant Professor Tara Cepon Robins from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs about the microbiome and aging. We get into the microbiome's role in chronic inflammation and discuss how exposure to pathogens as a child can shape your immune system for the rest of life. And, can the location of your upbringing — whether it's an urban, rural, or suburban environment — affect the development of your body's immune defense mechanisms?Read more about the Hygiene Hypothesis here.

In our second episode of 2021, we're joined by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. Dr. B is a board certified gastroenterologist & a master of clinical science. Today we are dissecting his NYT best selling book, Fiber Fueled. This is a conversation about gut health and it's relationship to everything from cognition to immunity. Enjoy! ✌
Today, we are focusing on something that I find really interesting and fascinating, which is the hygiene hypothesis and it's likely contribution to the huge increase we are seeing in allergies, and atopic conditions in our kids such as eczema, asthma and hay fever. The hygiene hypothesis is also thought to be linked with autoimmune conditions.We discuss the increasing rates of allergies and how the hygiene hypothesis is thought to be contributing to the huge increase we are seeing in allergies and atopic conditions such as eczema, society's current obsession with hygiene and its potential implications on our kids' immune systems, the consumption of processed foods over organic food sources, the use of antibacterial cleaning and personal care products, the importance of kids' exposure to microbes, and so much more.

Whether it’s that time of year again, or a fickle diet, allergies can be a disruptive part of life. The armor we have against pesky allergy symptoms is built from birth. Today we talk about the hygiene hypothesis, what this means, and how a baby’s defenses are built up or even broken down. Dr. Powers then tells us how a parent’s habits can influence the efficacy of their infant’s immune system and explains how you can help improve your baby’s gut microbiology. Tune in today!
Emma shares her story of her #electivesection. Though planned it was not a choice. She had #placentaprevia meaning the #placentahad attached itself too close to the #cervix making #vaginalbirth a dangerous option. We hear how the birth went with everything from the night before, the #spinalblock, what it feels like during the #surgery and the #euphoria for hearing and seeing your baby for the first time. We also cover in depth the concept of a #gentlecaesarean - music of your choice in the #operating theatre, emerging slowly from the #incision, #delayedcordclamping and the controversies of #vaginalseeding. We touch on initial challenges of struggling to #breastfeeding with support of #nightnurse and #doula she is managing well now Finally, we cover the #recovery.

With the incidents of autoimmune diseases on the rise, it is likely that you may know someone with one or have at least heard of them. These autoimmune diseases are becoming more talked about in society. In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Meghan Free discuss what these autoimmune diseases are, how they work, and how they can be treated. They also discuss the risk factors and predispositions for these diseases as well as the Hygiene Hypothesis and immune system education. Key Takeaways: There are approximately 100 types of autoimmune disease, though some are exceedingly rare. Others like Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, and Type I Diabetes are much more common. Most patients who have lived on immunosuppressants must be cautious and take precautions If you look at the rates of autoimmune diseases in developing nations versus developed countries, they're much much lower in those developing countries versus a country like the United States. "We know that there are certain genes, especially genes related to the immune system, that can predispose a person to eventually developing an autoimmune disease. However, it's important to note here that merely having a gene that's associated with autoimmune disease does not guarantee that you will ever develop the disease." — Dr. Meghan Free Connect with Dr. Meghan Free: Professional Bio: med.unc.edu/medicine/directory/meghan-free/ Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Twitter: @CritiSpeak Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Dr Maya Shetreat, M.D is a board certified neurologist, herbalist, urban farmer and author of The Dirt Cure which has been praised by The New York Times. She has been featured in the New York Times, The Telegraph, NPR, Sky News and The Dr. Oz Show. Dr. Maya is the founder of the Terrain Institute, where she teaches Terrain Medicine™, earth-based programs for transformational healing. She works and studies with several teachers of spiritual work and has worked and studied with indigenous communities, teachers and healers in the jungles and mountains of Ecuador.She is a lifelong student of ethnobotany, plant healing, and the sacred. She guides others to connect to their spiritual self, be true to who they are and achieve that potent power which lies within them. She is a wife, a mother, spiritual seeker and practicing neurologist. We are talking with Dr Maya about hygiene hypothesis, microbiome, dirt cure and sleep. This episode is filled with great information from a doctor as well as a mother. If you struggle with your child's health or your own, this is the episode that you need. We are so excited to have her with us today. This episode is also great for you if you have a child who keeps getting sick all the time, or if you succumb to infections all the time. Is your poor sleep also contributing to low immune function? What does the health of your microbiome have to do with your sleep? This is a show that every parent should listen to! This episode shatters the horrendous aspect of gaslighting a mother for having instincts about her child. Its time to listen to your inner voice and be the best champion for you and your child. In this episode, we dive into: “Hygiene Hypothesis, Dirt Cure, Microbiome and Sleep" Dr Maya's story of being ignored by the medical fraternity in spite of being a doctor herself and how that led to her authoring the brilliant book, The Dirt Cure What is the hygiene hypothesis, the microbiome and the dirt cure? If there is a history of excessive antibiotic usage and antacid usage, the microbiome has less diversity and less bacteria. This does put immunity at some risk. Why are we seeing so much of this? What is happening within the microbiome of someone who is hyper clean versus someone who has a robust microbiome? What are some of the sleep challenges that you are witnessing today? Is this linked to the microbiome? Dr Maya's work is the intersection between cutting edge science as a board certified Paediatric Neurologist and a fascination for Earth medicine and everything magical and symbolic. How does she bring in both these approaches into looking at someone with microbiome dysbiosis, sleep challenges and neurological impact. How can someone heal from the inside out with the dirt cure? What is her personal practice of earth medicine?

In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Erin Stair chats with Dr. Alessio Fasano about the Hygiene Hypothesis and its connection to our guts, microbiomes and chronic inflammatory diseases. The Hygiene Hypothesis is a proposed explanation that states that improved hygiene in an industrialized world and less exposure to infectious agents ( bacteria & viruses) has led to an increase in chronic inflammatory conditions. ( This is why some supporters of the Hygiene Hypothesis will tell you to take your kids to a farm or play in the dirt.) In this episode, Dr. Fasano discusses how this hypothesis relates to a leaky gut and how our modern way of life may affect our microbiome ( bacteria that live in our gut) in a way that puts us at risk of developing a chronic inflammatory condition. He will discuss the 5 pillars that he believes need to be in place for this to happen, how probiotics and gluten relates to this, and ways we can improve leaky guts. Dr. Fasano is a pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher. He is a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and professor of nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health. He is the director of the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at Mass General for children and co-director of the Harvard Medical School Celiac Research Program. He's the director of the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center, where he oversees over 50 researchers and staff. Dr. Fasano is credited with discovering Zonulin, a protein responsible for regulating intestinal tight junctions ( and he explains this in the podcast) and he is the author of over 300 peer-reviewed publications. He is considered a world expert on Celiac disease and is in the top 1% of scientists cited worldwide.

We are excited to bring you a fascinating interview about our microbiome with Pedram Shojai from Well.org this week! Tune in to understand how our microbiome is the ecosystem of our lives. You’ll learn how your gut health affects your immunity and mental health. And the new fascinating discoveries being made about the bacteria in our tissues and organs and how they support healthy function. You don’t want to miss Pedram’s tips for ensuring you tend a happy healthy microbiome. It all starts in 3...2...1! * * * Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles. He is the founder of Well.Org, the NYT Best Selling author of The Urban Monk, Rise and Shine, and The Art of Stopping Time. He’s the producer and director of the movies “Vitality,” “Origins.” And “Prosperity.” In his spare time, he’s also a Taoist Abbot, a doctor of Oriental medicine, a Kung Fu world traveler, a fierce global green warrior, an avid backpacker, a devout alchemist, a Qi Gong Master, and an old school Jedi bio-hacker working to preserve our natural world and wake us up to our full potential. The Ecosystem of Life - Your Microbiome Science has now shown is that we are much more intimately connected with all the life on the planet than we ever knew through the bacteria, viruses, protozoa, nematodes, even parasites that live inside our body. There's RNA and DNA that we can now analyze on these bugs and understand how they support many human functions. These functions are actually attributed to these bacteria that are co-existing with us. The word is symbiosis. All of this life in and around us is part of what makes us human and without it, we collapse, and we fall ill. If you don't have proper gut health and you're not supporting the life inside of you, there are entire systems that are collapsing that are leading to inflammation and chronic disease. Where It All Begins The first inoculation of our microbiome is as we come through the birth canal. 30% of mom's breast milk are these oligosaccharides that get secreted by mom. They are indigestible by baby. They're specifically designed to feed the bacteria in the baby's gut. Now fast forward here, you need to eat the fiber, vegetables, phytonutrients, and all these things that these bacteria eat, not for you but for the bacteria. If we put them first and understand how to feed them, they take care of us and in turn we get less illness, less chronic disease, we have more energy, things work. Every Tissue, Every Organ In The Body Has Bacteria Associated With It Researchers found that women with tumors in their breasts had a different mix of bacteria living in the tissue compared with women who did not have tumors. The research team discovered for the first time that healthy breast tissue contains more of the bacterial species Methyl bacterium. It is blowing the doors open on everything we know about medicine and this is just the beginning. The Microbiome and Your Immunity About 70% or so of our immune system is around our guts, it's called the gut associated lymphatic tissue. The bacteria are acting as the sentinels between the outside world and the inside world and telling the immune system that everything is good. You can't heal if your immune system is constantly battling and that all starts in the gut and that all has to do with how the microbiome is informing the immune system to either attack or to relax and it will do so based on what is in there. What Lifestyles Are Destroying Our Microbiome and Causing Leaky Gut? Standard American Diet Not enough prebiotics to feed the good bacteria. Food allergies like gluten and dairy. Why Leaky Gut Matters Once you start creating inflammation and tears in the lining of the gut, there are food particles that will sneak through and the immune system says, "Hey, you're not supposed to be on this side." It will start to create antibodies to those food particles as foreign invaders. This is how food allergies are created. Creates systemic inflammation throughout the body. How to Improve Your Microbiome Work with a Functional Medicine Doctor. Analysis of your microbiome. You look at how we need to eat and ‘who’ we need to feed. Include indigestible fiber in your daily diet. You consume a variety of fermented foods and prebiotic foods with every single meal and you adjust for feeding the bacteria that help you thrive. Reduce sugar in your diet. By bringing down the bacteria, specifically like the yeast and bad bacteria that thrive on sugars in particular, you'll start to notice a difference very quickly. Increase fiber intake. Benefits of a Healthy Microbiome Brain fog dissipates. Anxiety and depression reduced. Energy levels increase. Excess weight is released.

We are excited to bring you a fascinating interview about our microbiome with Pedram Shojai from Well.org this week! Tune in to understand how our microbiome is the ecosystem of our lives. You’ll learn how your gut health affects your immunity and mental health. And the new fascinating discoveries being made about the bacteria in our tissues and organs and how they support healthy function. You don’t want to miss Pedram’s tips for ensuring you tend a happy healthy microbiome. It all starts in 3...2...1! * * * Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles. He is the founder of Well.Org, the NYT Best Selling author of The Urban Monk, Rise and Shine, and The Art of Stopping Time. He’s the producer and director of the movies “Vitality,” “Origins.” And “Prosperity.” In his spare time, he’s also a Taoist Abbot, a doctor of Oriental medicine, a Kung Fu world traveler, a fierce global green warrior, an avid backpacker, a devout alchemist, a Qi Gong Master, and an old school Jedi bio-hacker working to preserve our natural world and wake us up to our full potential. The Ecosystem of Life - Your Microbiome Science has now shown is that we are much more intimately connected with all the life on the planet than we ever knew through the bacteria, viruses, protozoa, nematodes, even parasites that live inside our body. There's RNA and DNA that we can now analyze on these bugs and understand how they support many human functions. These functions are actually attributed to these bacteria that are co-existing with us. The word is symbiosis. All of this life in and around us is part of what makes us human and without it, we collapse, and we fall ill. If you don't have proper gut health and you're not supporting the life inside of you, there are entire systems that are collapsing that are leading to inflammation and chronic disease. Where It All Begins The first inoculation of our microbiome is as we come through the birth canal. 30% of mom's breast milk are these oligosaccharides that get secreted by mom. They are indigestible by baby. They're specifically designed to feed the bacteria in the baby's gut. Now fast forward here, you need to eat the fiber, vegetables, phytonutrients, and all these things that these bacteria eat, not for you but for the bacteria. If we put them first and understand how to feed them, they take care of us and in turn we get less illness, less chronic disease, we have more energy, things work. Every Tissue, Every Organ In The Body Has Bacteria Associated With It Researchers found that women with tumors in their breasts had a different mix of bacteria living in the tissue compared with women who did not have tumors. The research team discovered for the first time that healthy breast tissue contains more of the bacterial species Methyl bacterium. It is blowing the doors open on everything we know about medicine and this is just the beginning. The Microbiome and Your Immunity About 70% or so of our immune system is around our guts, it's called the gut associated lymphatic tissue. The bacteria are acting as the sentinels between the outside world and the inside world and telling the immune system that everything is good. You can't heal if your immune system is constantly battling and that all starts in the gut and that all has to do with how the microbiome is informing the immune system to either attack or to relax and it will do so based on what is in there. What Lifestyles Are Destroying Our Microbiome and Causing Leaky Gut? Standard American Diet Not enough prebiotics to feed the good bacteria. Food allergies like gluten and dairy. Why Leaky Gut Matters Once you start creating inflammation and tears in the lining of the gut, there are food particles that will sneak through and the immune system says, "Hey, you're not supposed to be on this side." It will start to create antibodies to those food particles as foreign invaders. This is how food allergies are created. Creates systemic inflammation throughout the body. How to Improve Your Microbiome Work with a Functional Medicine Doctor. Analysis of your microbiome. You look at how we need to eat and ‘who’ we need to feed. Include indigestible fiber in your daily diet. You consume a variety of fermented foods and prebiotic foods with every single meal and you adjust for feeding the bacteria that help you thrive. Reduce sugar in your diet. By bringing down the bacteria, specifically like the yeast and bad bacteria that thrive on sugars in particular, you'll start to notice a difference very quickly. Increase fiber intake. Benefits of a Healthy Microbiome Brain fog dissipates. Anxiety and depression reduced. Energy levels increase. Excess weight is released. What Role Do Parasites Play in Gut Health? We're finding that there's certain parasites that help bring down your blood sugar. Certain parasites will help you offset certain disease processes.

The hygiene hypothesis holds that by missing out on the normal infections of youth leaves the immune system with nothing to do, and as a consequence later in life it over-reacts to normally benign things like peanuts. What if the same thing is happening psychologically? What if an absence of certain forms of trauma and stress when young lead people to overreact to things later in life which aren't particularly traumatic. In discussing this I bring in the writing of Brene Brown who points out that we're the most addicted, medicated, in debt, overweight adult cohort in history. Given how objectively untraumatic modern life is, why would that be?

Some guy at work told me I should eat some worms to clear my auto-immune condition, is this a good idea? Should I take my kids out into the woods and let them roll around naked in the dirt? Western society has become so obsessed with cleanliness and sterility that we may actually be doing more harm than good by depriving our immune systems from the opportunity to learn, become trained and develop properly.Today, we discuss what is meant by the Hygiene Hypothesis and most importantly, what it means for us in our actual lives.
In Today's Episode Dr. Robynne Chutkan is one of the most knowledgeable gastroenterologists working in the United States today. She is the author of three bestselling digestive health books: Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, and The Bloat Cure. Dr. Chutkan has a BS from Yale and an MD from Columbia, and is a faculty member at Georgetown University Hospital. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice, incorporating microbial optimization, nutritional therapy, biofeedback, and stress reduction, as part of the therapeutic approach to digestive disorders. She is a regular guest on the Dr. Oz Show, covering digestive health, and is also a member of the Medical Advisory Board for the show. She was the host of the National Institutes of Health Clinical Roundtable Series, and a medical consultant and on-air talent for Discovery Health Channel. She has been a featured expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, and The Doctors, and is frequently interviewed as a medical expert for the Washington Post, and women's health magazines. She is an avid runner, snowboarder, and yogi, and is passionate about helping her patients live not just longer, but dirtier lives. In today's show I talk to Dr. Chutkan about the microbiome, probiotics, over-sanitization, corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, and how mothers can help their babies begin life with a healthy microbiome. Outline of This Great Episode [1:57] Welcome to our old friends and new friends alike! The Vidal Speaks Podcast is where you can learn about all kinds of ways to get well, why a plant-powered diet is the only diet that will reverse disease in the long run, the true causes of chronic disease, and the myths surrounding treatments. Most importantly, you will learn to take charge and heal yourself and those you love. I hope that this show will grow into a movement of people who take charge of their health! Please tune in every Wednesday and share this podcast with your friends. [3:33] In her 20-year practice, Vidal found that almost every patient who came to her, had a gut issue. [4:40] The overprescription of antibiotics has created a large population of sick people. [8:05] Dr. Chutkan transitioned into integrative medicine, after she saw lots of patients who wanted to know what lifestyle changes they should make to get better. [11:31] Many patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease use the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. [12:29] One patient's miraculous healing using diet inspired Dr. Chutkan to start finding ways to get her patients off of drugs. [14:09] Doctors want their patients to get better, but their educations have been hijacked by the pharmaceutical industry. [22:41] What is the “Velio Diet” for healing the gut? [25:47] Microbiota Accessible Carbohydrates are crucial for gut healing, and can be found in foods like leafy greens, oats and lentils. [28:47] Choose vegetables. [30:25] People are waking up to the importance of gut health. [31:38] We are more microbial than we are human. [33:04] Cleansers are contributing to disruption of the microbiome. [34:56] What is Triclosan, and why has the FDA said it must be taken out of personal care products? [35:30] Your hand sanitizer isn't doing what you intend it to do. [36:14] Eat clean and live dirty. [38:51] What is the Hygiene Hypothesis? [41:29] Healthy bacteria can crowd out a virus. [42:52] Instead of focusing on Germ Theory, focus on your body's microbial terrain. [44:07] There is no magic pill for good health. [46:08] To a very large degree, we are in control of our health.

[49:27] Your doctor isn't dangerous, but their training might be. [51:10] More physicians are becoming interested in food as medicine, often because of personal health crises. Dr. Chutkan was particularly driven by a desire to help her own daughter. [58:13] Pediatricians are much more likely to prescribe antibiotics when they feel like parents expect it. [59:13] Remember that you have the right to informed consent and refusal, and that no drugs come without side effects. [1:04:16] Dr. Chutkan's book, The Microbiome Solution, includes a recommended birth plan to help start your child's gut off right. There is even a solution for those that have to give birth via c-section. [1:05:53] Be open to educating your doctor. [1:07:05] During a colonoscopy, Dr. Chutkan and other gastroenterologists can tell a meat eater from a plant eater. [1:10:04] If you are not already a vegan, eat more plants! [1:12:32] The microbiome can change (for better or worse) very quickly. [1:13:52] Eating a good diet is far more important than taking a probiotic.

Voice intro: Welcome to another edition of Portable Practical Pediatrics. I'm your host, Dr. Paul Smolen, also known as Doc Smo. From the bassinet to the board room, if the topic involves children, we talk about it here. I frequently get asked by the parents of my patients, "Why do so many children have food allergy, asthma, and eczema today? Most of these parents don't remember their friends having nearly the incidence of allergy that today's children do and that was just a few decades ago. What is going on, they ask? Well, my answer is that we really don't know, but we are beginning to get closer to an answer. For years, immunologists and allergists have been talking about something called the Hygiene Hypothesis to explain all of this allergy. Recent observations have made this less of a theory and more of an explanation. Experts are beginning to have some understanding. So in today's pedcast, I thought we would talk about some of this evidence and introduce you to the current thinking about allergies and children. The hope is if we can understand what is driving the allergy epidemic, we can help protect future kids from suffering from with terrible allergies. Music Intro: Life for Children has Changed Drastically: I grew up in a typical middle class family where there was a premium given to being clean. My mother was always telling me to go take a bath, wash behind your ears, and use soap! She believed that you couldn't be too clean. Dirt and germs were the great enemy to her generation. Keep the children squeaky clean, their food, their water, and you are bound to have no disease... right? Since germs were known to cause much of the disease in children, the less germs there were around, the less disease they will have- or so goes the thinking. It's logical and this approach worked for about a 1/2 century. But as infectious diseases started to disappear, here comes another type of disease...allergic disease. Today's children are now faced with a tsunami of allergic disease. What has changed in just a few generations? The answer is a lot! When I was a kid, we literally lived outdoors. We had almost no access to television, computers, video games, or other "indoor" kid activities. No, we lived outdoors unless the weather was extreme. And a large part of that outdoor experience was dirt. My childhood was filled with tire swings, mud pies, wading in creeks, rolling in the grass, and pushing toy soldiers and model cars around in the dirt. I was filthy at the end of everyday. Rarely did I take an antibiotic and if I did it was a very low potency medication, I ate very little processed food with preservatives, I ate food off dishes that were washed by hand at low temperatures, my food was washed but not irradiated, and of course, I was outdoors most of my childhood playing in the dirt. What is the link between dirt and health? Researchers are finding that modern life is having an impact on the bacteria in your child's intestines, on their skin, and in their noses. This is very important since it turns out that having a healthy variety of good bacteria is essential to your child's immune system functioning well. Imagine that, your child's poop is actually vital to their good health! How ironic. Modern life seems to be changing today's children's gut and skin bacteria (the so called microbiome) and this seems to be driving the allergy epidemic. Many physicians think that the change in your child's bacteria, has changed the way their immune systems react to the world creating nonsense reactions like peanut allergy. That's the essence of the hygiene hypothesis in a nutshell. But why are we seeing this in children and not so much in adults you might be wondering? Aren't the microbiomes of adults changing too? Researchers speculate that infancy and childhood are when a human's immune system is fine tuned, not during adult life and that's the reason why. Additionally, children have much stronger immune reactions than d...
Heal Your Immune System In Four Steps Antibiotics are supposed to help our immune system recover from viruses, diseases, and other illnesses, but what if they leave us feeling fatigued, unwell, or even worse over time? With long-term use, can antibiotics actually hinder, not heal our immune systems? JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST Besides antibiotics, pesticides and processed food ingredients are also all too common in our modern society. Unfortunately, these three can be the culprits behind health, mind, and autoimmune disease. If we've developed an autoimmune disease over time, how can we fight back to regain our vibrant health, clarity, and strength? On this episode of Wellness Force Radio, Preventive Medicine and Chronic Disease Specialist, Founder and Director of The Blum Center for Health, and author of both The Immune System Recovery Plan and the upcoming book, Healing Arthritis, Dr. Susan Blum helps us discover how we can get to the the root of our autoimmune disease and recover our immune system in four steps: Using Food As Medicine Understanding Our Stress Connection Improving Our Gut health Supporting and Detoxifying the Liver Listen to Episode 109 as Dr. Susan Blum Uncovers How we can live a healthier life with the Four Fundamental Steps in her Immune System Recovery Plan. The importance of discovering the root causes of modern autoimmune disease. What is a healthy immune system? How does the gut, stress, food, toxins, and other factors come into play? The power of functional medicine to heal the mind and body. How is it possible that the number of people with an autoimmune disease has grown from 9 million to 24 million people since 1997? The constant amount of stress that we are facing as a society and how it's affecting our bodies and minds. Dr. Blum's experience with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and what she's doing to help other people discover and treat their autoimmune disease. The danger of eating fish from the sea especially after Fukushima. How to know if your thyroid and overall health is actually helping your mind and body.. How can long usage of medications or antibiotics affect the body? What can food do to improve our health after taking antibiotics for so many years? Why are plant-based diets and cultured foods so great to help gut health? How can dairy affect our bodies? What can we eat if we're unable to digest dairy products? How probiotics can help the inflammation throughout your entire body. The connection between having both an autoimmune disease and a leaky gut. What is dysbiosis and how does it affect the stomach? What is glyphosate in products such as Roundup pesticide and how does it affect our gut's health? Wheat Sensitivity vs Gluten Sensitivity How an Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) test can help you discover if you have a general systematic autoimmune disease. How stress can really take a toll on our bodies and how it can lead to autoimmune diseases. The two stress systems: Hormonal stress and Acute stress How we can we detox our liver to live a healthier life. Top 3 Takeaways From The Show We've all had moments when we say "I'm too stressed" or "I'm so busy with everything." Fortunately, we have the power to recognize that stress and turn our feelings around. We don't have to allow stress to take control of our lives. Instead, we can find productive ways to use it and handle it. Regularly check in with your mind and body to see how you're doing. Taking a couple of moments each do to be mindful can help you recognize what your emotions or literal gut feelings are telling you. Meditate, walk, or journaling can help you get in touch with yourself and discover what you need. Following the Four Fundamental Steps in the Immune System Recovery Plan, be conscious about what you eat and drink as well as your stress levels. Treating our bodies naturally is possible without taking so many antibiotics for long periods of time. Power Quotes From Dr. Blum [tweetthis] "Functional medicine can heal the gut, detoxify the body, and help manage and measure stress levels." [/tweetthis] "Autoimmune disease is a malfunction in our immune system and there have been studies done to prove that certain factors disrupt our gut, stress and overall health. Functional medicine is an approach to treating and repairing the body. With functional medicine, we can heal the gut, get the toxins out of the body, and manage and measure stress levels." - Dr. Susan Blum on the power of Functional Medicine to heal our bodies. "Today, babies aren't developing the healthy microbiome that they need to support their bodies. According to the Hygiene Hypothesis, babies don't need to be so clean because it tones their immune system. They should get an exposure to dirt to help their microbiome be strong. Kids should be playing outside. It's okay for them to eat dirt and parents don't have to make everything so clean." - Dr. Susan Blum on how a healthy microbiome and gut system can develop when we're young. "You're eating what the animal ate." - Michael Pollan on how what animals we consume, such as fish our poultry, can affect us because of the mercury in the ocean or pesticides in the animal feed. "We don't have medicine for viruses, except for herpes. How can we recover from a virus? Our immune system naturally puts the virus into remission and that virus continues to live hidden inside our bodies. However, sometimes those viruses don't stay quiet and they can come back. That's when we have a problem with the immune system, but these four steps can treat that. By treating the immune system, you can also treat the virus." - Dr. Susan Blum on how viruses can be treated the same way we'd treat an autoimmune disease. "The number one most important influence on your gut microbiome is food. Vegetables and foods with fiber and vital nutrients feed the good bacteria and help it flourish. Think of your gut like a garden and what you feed it will determine what will grow in it. So you can either grow flowers with good food or weeds with bad food." - Dr. Susan Blum on how food influences our gut microbiome. "A plant-based diet and cultured foods are still king for encouraging the growth of good bacteria. If you eat cultured foods or take probiotics, you have a better chance at recovering the gut." - Dr. Susan Blum on how a plant-based diet and cultured foods or probiotics can really help our gut thrive. "We all know that stress has this great control over us, but the fact is that we really have to take it to heart. We really have to believe that it's having an affect on us so that we can take steps to change what's happening. Try to think of it as if we have these 'stress auras' around us, but stress is actually the way our bodies are responding to them and we do have control over that." - Dr Susan Blum on the importance of recognizing how stress is affecting us and that we have the ability to take control. "Keep practicing your self-care and keep it a priority. Check in with yourself to make sure that you're being true to who you are. We all have a North Star that's within ourselves that's there to guide us and that's also our intuition." - Dr. Susan Blum on the best piece of advice she received to keep her health strong while working hard at her career. "Wellness is really about balancing our mind, body, and spirit. It's learning about who you are and finding happiness. Wellness is charting a path towards health with a positive outlook. It's about living your life to the fullest." - Dr. Susan Blum on what wellness means to her.

Kid birthdays come with a whole mess of feels!Interview with Dr Jason VanderlugtWhat kind of illnesses are we seeing right now? Fall can be a weird time because we get the tail end of summer summer bugs, but we aren't quite full into upper respiratory issues. How can we prevent illness with our kids? There's an interesting thing called the Hygiene Hypothesis, which says kids are supposed to get sick in the winter months to help their immune systems. The more we sanitize and protect them the more their immune systems go haywire with allergies and autoimmune diseases. BUT always wash your hands and try to confine stomach flu sufferers to their own separate bathroom.Dr Jason's Thoughts on essential oils and probiotics- They haven't been widely studied, but aren't generally harmful. Be careful with certain essential oils around kids, not everything natural is safe for everyone. Cold and Flu Treatment Tips- Push fluids, use a humidifier for congested patients and try Zinc at the outset of the cold. Overall just GET YOUR FLU SHOT! A Teaspoon of honey has been proven to help with overnight coughing. But What about peanut butter? When should we introduce it? Generally earlier introduction is okay, if you have a family history of peanut allergies you should make a plan with your pediatrician for safe introduction. That's a wrap for us this week!

We’re back! It is grant season, so the podcast schedule is slowing down a bit, but we are still at it. Over an audio backdrop of torrential rain—which kept Anna Lisa from opening the show—we chat with Assistant Professor Adam Williams. We discuss his research into long noncoding RNAs and what they have to do with immune system function. We also talk about asthma, allergic reactions, 3D cell culture systems, the Hygiene Hypothesis, peanuts, English food and the Brexit.
Both share a common genetic heritage, yet 20% of the Hutterite children in North Dakota have asthma, while only 2% of the Amish children in Indiana suffer. And so we ask...
Joe Alton, MD and Amy Alton, ARNP are the medical experts for Jack Spirko's popular Survival Podcast, and today take a question from Josh, who has four children with allergy issues although it's never been a problem in the family. Dr. Alton discusses the Hygiene Hypothesis of why we're experiencing an epidemic of allergies these days, and how to recognize and deal with severe reactions. Also, Nurse Amy and Dr. Bones talk about antioxidants, a controversial topic to some in Western Medicine. What are they, what do they do, and a lot about how diet and lifestyle affects your ability to use them to stay healthy. All this and more in the latest episode of The Survival Medicine Hour.

He maintains a private practice, Whole Body Medicine, in Trumbull, CT. Dr. Brady is also the Chief Medical Officer for Designs for Health, Inc. He is an internationally sought-after presenter on nutritional, naturopathic and integrative medicine. He has appeared on the plenary speaking panel of some of the largest and most prestigious conferences in the field including; IFM, ACAM, A4M, IHS, and many more. Dr. Brady has published a multitude of peer-reviewed scientific papers and textbooks related to chronic pain, autoimmunity and functional gastroenterology and is a featured contributing author in the medical textbooks; Advancing Medicine with Food and Nutrients, Integrative Gastroenterology, and Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine. Dr. Brady, you have emphasized the topic of autoimmune disorders in many of your publications, your professional lectures and your private practice. What developed your interest in this topic so keenly? You published a paper in the Open Journal of Rheumatology & Autoimmunity in 2013 which garnered a lot of attention titled: Molecular Mimicry, the Hygiene Hypothesis, Stealth Infections and Other Examples of Disconnect Between Medical Research and the Practice of Clinical Medicine in Autoimmune Disease. That is quite a title. Why did this paper stimulate such a buzz? You suggest that autoimmune disease is a “modern epidemic” and that rates of autoimmune disease have quadrupled in the last fifty years. What are some of the reasons for that? In your publications, including the one mentioned above, you bring up several specific hypotheses related to why autoimmune diseases have become so prevalent in the Western industrialized countries. I would like to ask you specifically about some of them, including: – Molecular mimicry – Hygiene Hypothesis – Stealth Infections My understanding is that some people are being diagnosed with celiac disease that do not have the genes. Are we seeing a turn in the tide? Are people without some sort of genes toward autoimmunity now becoming autoimmune? Do you use soil-based probiotics in your autoimmune patients? On the topic of stealth infections, why aren't more doctors testing for and picking up on these infections? Do you empirically put your autoimmune patients on antibiotics for infections you know are associated with these diseases, or do you first treat them with the standard functional medicine approach (an elimination diet, healing the gut, dealing with toxins, and treating any obvious infections)? A few months ago a paper was circulating that pointed to salt as a stimulant for autoimmune disease. Is sea salt a concern, or is it simply salt from packaged foods that is a problem? Or is the problem caused by an imbalance in sodium and potassium? Finally, where do you practice? How can people find more information about you and this fascinating topic?

Guest: Carolyn Paris, MD Host: Mary Leuchars, MD Improved living conditions and hygiene may be contributing to the rise of type 1 diabetes in children, but does the "hygiene hypothesis" fully explain the onset of type 1 diabetes in this population? What factors might explain the increased incidence of type 1 diabetes among pediatric patients in the US, Sweden and Finland, in particular? Dr. Carolyn Paris, pediatrician and emergency medicine specialist at the Center for Clinical and Translational Research at Seattle Children's Hospital, explores the indirect evidence that examines environmental influences in the development of type 1 diabetes in children.

Guest: Harold S. Nelson, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP The incidence of asthma has doubled in the past two decades, though the cause of this rise is difficult to pinpoint. While the hygiene hypothesis has, for years, served as one possible explanation, newer studies show a possible link between asthma and vitamin levels or exposure to certain chemicals or medications. How might this knowledge help us prevent the development of asthma, and what research still needs to be performed to determine the key factors here, and put an end to the increasing incidence of asthma? Dr. Harold Nelson, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and National Jewish Health hospital in Denver, lays out the evidence for these potential risk factors, from the child's date of birth, to acetaminophen use, to vitamin D levels, to exposure to cleaning sprays and other household chemicals.
