I am thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Izabella Wentz today. She is a pioneering clinical pharmacist and best-selling author, with a passion for identifying the root causes of complex health conditions. She has consulted on 1000s of difficult cases, and her upcoming book is called IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. In today's conversation, we explore relevant statistics, dietary triggers, and specific labs that can be helpful when navigating an IBS diagnosis. We highlight red flags, examine the impact of fiber, the intricate connection between short-chain fatty acids and thyroid health, and how stress, trauma, and the nervous system affect gut health. Dr. Wentz also offers some practical strategies and answers a series of rapid-fire questions. Dr. Wentz's latest book offers a fascinating exploration of IBS, guiding readers through diagnosis and treatment options, and empowering them to advocate for themselves. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How IBS is often given as a diagnosis without any lab testing or further investigation Some of the lesser-known dietary IBS triggers, and how IBS-type symptoms can sometimes signal an entirely different underlying condition How digestive dysfunction can drive IBS symptoms Why fiber is essential, and how to increase your fiber intake slowly to avoid any digestive distress How stress can exacerbate IBS symptoms Constipation as a symptom of IBS Why most women tend to have a leaky gut Challenges of restrictive diets and the need for a balanced approach to gut health First steps to take when treating IBS Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com.

Today's guest loves a tangent. It's Gen Z's people's princess, Tanner DeVore. Tanner sits down with Delta to chat about Disney adults, living with IBS, and the time God personally thanked him for buying a sweet tea from a truck on the side of the road. The two also wonder what is going on with the surprising number of LGBTQIA2S+ employees at Southern California Chick-fil-A locations. Also, Tanner meets one of Delta's many sides when she introduces her alter ego, The Hog of Death.Plus, Delta goes off after discovering she cannot redeem the free McDonald's ice cream she rightfully earned in the app. She drifts into a daydream about what could have been, only to snap back to reality when she settles for whatever is waiting in her fridge at home.⁠Send us an e-mail at readmedelta@gmail.com⁠ FOLLOW DELTA⁠@deltawork⁠ ⁠VERY DELTA IS A FOREVER DOG AND MOGULS OF MEDIA (M.O.M.)

▶️ Connect with Richard on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardatherton-firsthuman/   What if many chronic symptoms - pain, IBS, migraines, fatigue, insomnia - aren't caused by damage in the body, but by patterns in the brain?   In this episode of Being Human, Richard Atherton speaks with Nora Rodden, CEO and co-founder of the health app Nervana. After being hit by a car during university, Nora developed chronic back pain that persisted for five years despite countless treatments and no obvious lasting damage in her body. Later, severe digestive issues and insomnia followed.   Everything changed when she joined a clinical trial exploring neuroplastic pain, the idea that the brain can learn and sustain physical symptoms long after an injury has healed.   Through mind-body techniques including journaling, somatic awareness and visualisation, Nora eliminated her pain and restored her sleep.   Her experience led her to build Nervana, an AI-guided program designed to help people retrain their brain-body response and recover from chronic symptoms. We discuss: Facing the triple whammy of chronic pain, GI symptoms and insomnia The "medical" trial that changed her life The drug-free approach that cured her symptoms in 3 months Her ground-breaking providing relief from pain Should Advil carry a warning?

Caller Questions & Discussion: Marc discusses statements that seem to show resilience but actually minimize the impact of trauma and past experiences. He explains two types of memories: implicit and explicit. Experiencing adverse childhood events isn't about the severity of what happened—it's about how we make sense of what we went through. I've been unemployed for two years and have depleted my savings. My husband has savings, but he won't cover household expenses like food. I've told him I want to file for a legal separation. My husband did remodeling work for a widow in my Bible study, but she isn't willing to pay him. I talked to our Bible study leader about it—what can I learn from this situation? The Bible says we have a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7), so why do so many Christians struggle with depression? I wasn't in church for a year due to IBS, and it's hard to get back into the groove.

What if your anxiety, overwhelm, or shutdown isn't a mindset problem… but a nervous system response your body learned years ago? In this episode, Cait sits down with nervous system educator and practitioner trainer Jessica McGuire to unpack what nervous system regulation actually means beyond social media buzzwords and surface-level self-care. If you've ever felt stuck in fight-or-flight, overwhelmed by motherhood and ambition, or frustrated that mindset work hasn't fully "worked," this conversation will shift everything. Together, Cait and Jessica explore how dysregulation shows up in modern motherhood, why you can't "hack" your nervous system, and how real healing happens through embodied experience, not just positive thinking. This episode bridges neuroscience, trauma healing, entrepreneurship, and parenting — revealing how the state we live in becomes the legacy we pass on. Tune in to hear: What the nervous system actually is (and why it's more than just "fight or flight") A simple explanation of the vagus nerve and how it impacts anxiety, burnout, IBS, chronic pain, and emotional regulation Why mindset work often falls short without nervous system healing The difference between sympathetic activation, regulation, and freeze/shutdown How traumatic stress can come from unpredictability and lack of control — not just obvious major events Why you can't "willpower" your way out of dysregulation How nervous system patterns are shaped by past experiences — even ones you don't consciously remember What co-regulation means in motherhood and how your state shapes your child's nervous system The concept of "states become traits" and how to embody regulation daily Practical ways to begin repairing and strengthening your nervous system Connect with Jessica: Website: https://www.jessicamaguire.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/repairing_the_nervous_system/  If this episode resonates with you, don't forget to share it to your stories and tag @themillionairemother, or leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts-it helps more mamas find this show.

5 Hidden Parasite Symptoms Doctors Miss | Podcast #472

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions Should You Accept a Fibromyalgia Diagnosis? Evidence-Based Response to “Don't Accept Fibro” ClaimsDr. Michael Lenz reacts to a naturopath's claim that fibromyalgia is “not an acceptable diagnosis,” acknowledging that patients often feel invisible and that fibromyalgia is diagnosed by symptoms after ruling out other conditions, but arguing this does not make it illegitimate. He explains fibromyalgia as a nociplastic/central sensitization pain syndrome supported by evidence such as amplified pain signaling on functional neuroimaging, disrupted deep sleep, neurotransmitter differences, and overlap with conditions like IBS, chronic fatigue, migraines, and TMJ. He critiques functional-medicine claims that fibro is primarily due to mold toxicity, food sensitivities, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, or mitochondrial dysfunction, noting limited or debunked evidence and potential harm from chasing costly “root causes.” He outlines evidence-based, multimodal management: restorative sleep, gentle aerobic exercise and pacing, CBT/pain reprocessing and neuroscience education, addressing ADHD/autism/anxiety, and medications such as SNRIs and gabapentinoids.00:00 Why This Reaction01:04 Naturopath Claim Setup02:07 Invisible Illness Explained03:12 What She Gets Right07:31 Why Rejecting Is Harmful07:49 Real Science Of Fibro08:39 Functional Triggers List09:04 Gut Microbiome Claims13:39 Debunking Pseudodiagnoses15:05 Evidence Based Treatment Plan17:46 Should You Accept Diagnosis18:50 Closing Takeaways Support the showWhen I started this podcast and YouTube Channel—and the book that came before it—I had my patients in mind. Office visits are short, but understanding complex, often misunderstood conditions like fibromyalgia takes time. That's why I created this space: to offer education, validation, and hope. If you've been told fibromyalgia “isn't real” or that it's “all in your head,” know this—I see you. I believe you. This podcast aims to affirm your experience and explain the science behind it. Whether you live with fibromyalgia, care for someone who does, or are a healthcare professional looking to better support patients, you'll find trusted, evidence-based insights here, drawn from my 29+ years as an MD. Please remember to talk with your doctor about your symptoms and care. This content doesn't replace per...

Metabolism affects everything: your energy, fat burning, cravings, sleep, stress response, and even how "resistant" weight loss can feel. If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, low energy, bloating, or that frustrating sense that your body is working against you—this episode is for you. Have you ever wondered why you can be eating "healthy," watching portions, and still feel stuck with weight loss resistance… especially in perimenopause? Or why stress seems to hijack your metabolism, your gut health, and your hormones all at once? Today I'm giving you a deep, practical look at what metabolism actually is, why calorie counting often backfires, and what your body needs to restore hormone balance, digestive health, and metabolic momentum. I also bust the biggest myths that keep women defeated—like the idea that your metabolism "crashes" at middle age—and I walk you through what's really happening when stress, sleep quality, inflammation, IBS symptoms, and blood sugar swings start shaping the way your body stores fat and produces energy. You'll come away understanding the "why" behind your exhaustion and what's quietly blocking your metabolic potential. Key points you'll hear inside the episode The simple metabolism definition that changes everything—and why it's not just "calories in, calories out" when you're dealing with fatigue, hormone balance issues, and weight loss resistance The surprising research on metabolism and aging (and why perimenopause isn't a "metabolism death sentence," even if it feels like one) The stress–sleep–metabolism loop: how chronic stress and poor sleep quality can shut down fat burning, increase cravings, and worsen brain fog and low energy Why focusing on digestive health, gut microbiome support, and food quality can shift metabolism—without obsessing over calorie counting Metabolism isn't a punishment your body hands you. It's a system you can work with. And once you understand how metabolism, hormones, stress, sleep, and gut health connect, it becomes easier to stop blaming yourself and start changing the conditions that are keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'll help you reframe the entire metabolism conversation—especially if you've been told you're "just getting older," that it's menopause, that it's your genetics, or that you simply need more willpower. Your body isn't broken. More often, it's responding exactly as it was designed to respond… to chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, low-quality fuel, and a life that keeps your nervous system stuck in overdrive. If you're ready to feel more energized, clearer, and more in control of your appetite, cravings, and digestion—press play. I'll give you the "what" and the "why" so you finally understand what's driving your fatigue and weight loss resistance, and you'll hear the practical next steps inside the recording. Your metabolism is working for you every second of the day. Let's start supporting it like it deserves. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.

Have you ever looked back at something you did years ago and thought, “How could I have done that?”Shame doesn't sound like “I made a mistake.” It sounds like “I'm a bad person.”In this episode, you'll discover:Why shame isn't about doing something wrong — it's the belief that something about you is wrongHow many thoughtful, high-functioning women carry shame quietly without realizing itHow that identity-level pressure can eventually show up physically as fatigue, inflammation, flare-ups, and chronic symptomsUse the free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional pattern behind your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

Bloating is one of the most common digestive complaints but also one of the most misunderstood. Many people experience frequent bloating without knowing what's causing it, whether it's normal, or when it may signal something more serious. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Podcast, host Jacqueline Gaulin talks with gastroenterologist David J. Cangemi from the Mayo Clinic to unpack the real reasons behind bloating and what your digestive system may be trying to tell you. Together, they discuss: • The difference between occasional bloating and chronic bloating • Common causes including diet, IBS, and gut-brain disorders • How constipation and motility issues contribute to bloating • When bloating may be linked to conditions like IBS, food intolerances, or SIBO • Warning signs that should prompt medical evaluation • Practical, evidence-based strategies to safely reduce bloating If bloating is affecting your daily comfort or quality of life, this episode offers trusted, physician-guided insights to help you better understand your symptoms and know when to seek care. This episode is produced in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology Patient Care Committee.

Histamine Reactions in Children: Why Some Kids Seem to React to EverythingThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about histamine and why some kids seem to be “reacting to everything,” even when you've already cleaned up their diet, removed the usual suspects, and tried all the common strategies.If your child's symptoms feel unpredictable (or like they're piling up across skin, digestion, and respiratory health), this episode will help you step back and understand what an overprotective immune system can look like and why the goal isn't endless avoidance, but supporting the body so it can respond more calmly over time.In this episode, we explore:What histamine is and why some children seem extra sensitive to it, even when allergy tests don't give clear answersHow histamine-related symptoms can show up alongside eczema, allergies, and ongoing gut symptoms and why the overlap is commonWhy restriction can sometimes become a slippery slope, and what to consider before cutting more foods “just in case”The bigger picture factors that influence histamine load and tolerance, including gut health, immune regulation, and the body's “threshold” for reacting

Think gluten is the universal bad guy? Let's slow down, look at the evidence, and figure out what's really driving symptoms, what protects long-term health, and how to make smart choices without fear. We break down what gluten is, where it shows up, and why oats are a special case. From celiac disease to non-celiac gluten sensitivity, we explain who truly needs to avoid gluten, what testing matters before you eliminate it, and how symptoms often overlap with IBS and FODMAP issues that have nothing to do with gluten at all.We also zoom out to the big health picture: whole grains are consistently linked to lower risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality. When people drop gluten without a diagnosis, they often drop whole grains and slide into gluten-free packaged foods high in refined starches, sugars, and fats. That shift can cut fiber, iron, calcium, and magnesium and may nudge cardiometabolic risk in the wrong direction. If gluten avoidance is necessary, we show how to build a strong gluten-free plate with brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, sorghum, teff, amaranth, and certified gluten-free oats, paired with legumes, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.You'll come away with a clear plan to personalize nutrition: test before you restrict, distinguish gluten from FODMAP triggers, and focus on minimally processed foods over labels. If you suspect gluten is an issue, get a proper workup so you can protect your health while solving symptoms. If you thrive with gluten, lean into whole grains for fiber, micronutrients, and gut-friendly benefits. Subscribe, share with a friend who's confused about gluten, and leave a review to tell us what grains work best for you.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

As we were wrapping up that episode, we briefly touched on the intersection between athletics and eating disorders. Kamila shared about her experience struggling with disordered eating while competing in beach volleyball, and I spoke about what I've observed in my daughter's dance communities, where the pressure around body image and performance can be intense. It was clear there was a much bigger conversation waiting to happen, so I invited her back so we could explore this important topic more deeply. Together we talk about the often-overlooked connection between eating disorders, digestive issues like IBS, and mindbody/TMS symptoms. Kamila shares openly about her TMS recovery journey and the ways patterns around control, perfectionism, and safety can become entangled with both physical symptoms and our relationship with food. We explore how the nervous system responds to the pressures of athletic culture and high-performance environments, and what it can look like to begin unwinding those patterns on the path to healing.

For anyone who has lived with chronic pain, especially after being told it is “incurable,” the emotional toll can be just as heavy as the physical symptoms. Labels like Fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, or other misunderstood syndromes, often come with frustration, isolation, and a sense of finality. Yet science continues to show us that the brain and nervous system are far more adaptable than once believed. Steven LaTulippe, MD, has spent over two decades helping his patients rethink what central pain truly is and how inflammation and neural signaling play a role. Understanding pain differently can change outcomes and quality of life. Dr. LaTulippe will teach us how to restore dignity, curiosity, and possibility for those who have been told there are no answers left.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh explains how Candida (a fungus) and H. pylori (a bacteria) can work together and make gut problems much worse. Many people have one—or both—and don't even know it. If you've tried many things and still don't feel better, this may be a missing piece.Get some help and schedule a discovery callIn this podcast, you'll learn:What Candida isA fungus/yeast that can grow too much in the gut.What H. pylori isA bacteria that can damage the stomach lining and digestion.Why they are called the “evil twins”They help each other.When you have both, symptoms can feel much stronger and harder to fix.Common signs of H. pylori include:Burning stomachBloatingFrequent burpingNauseaLow appetiteUnplanned weight lossStomach ulcersDark stoolsHow H. pylori may connect to bigger health problems:It may be linked with autoimmune issues in some peopleThyroid problems (like Hashimoto's)Crohn's and IBS-type symptomsOther immune system flare-upsCommon signs of Candida include:Frequent UTIs (often in women)Gas, bloating, belly painSwitching between constipation and diarrheaChronic fatigueBrain fog and memory troubleVaginal yeast issues or vaginosis that keeps coming backOral thrushSkin fungus (like foot fungus that won't go away)Strong sugar and carb cravingsWhy Candida can cause brain fog:Candida can make a chemical called aldehyde.Aldehyde acts like alcohol in the body.That can make you feel mentally cloudy day after day.The “Gut Defense Trio” (basic starter plan):Rebuild stomach acidCut off the fuel supply (especially sugar and processed carbs)Repair the gut barrierThe test Dr. Hugh uses to “test, not guess”:The GI-MAP stool testLooks for H. pylori, Candida, and other gut problemsChecks virulence factors (these can mean a stronger, more harmful strain)Done at home: collect the sample, mail it in, get clear resultsA key concept: stomach acid mattersStrong stomach acid is one of your first lines of defense.H. pylori can make an enzyme called urease.Urease helps create ammonia, which can raise stomach pH.Ammonia is very alkaline (around pH 11).When stomach acid gets weaker, it can be easier for Candida and other bugs to grow.If you feel stuck:This episode will help you understand why gut infections can hide, team up, and keep you in a cycle of symptoms.You'll also learn why getting the right test can help you choose the right next steps.

Many people with IBS are told either “It's just stress.” or “Your anxiety is all about your gut.” A large, long-term population study followed people for 7 years to answer look at whether IBS causes mental health issues, or the other way round. The answer is more nuanced, so this week I'm talking about the connection between the brain and gut.

Could an enzyme deficiency explain why you have food intolerances causing bloating, loose bowels, reflux, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, and more? Namely, sucrase isomaltase.   This enzyme, known as the sucrase-isomaltase enzyme, may be deficient in many people dealing with chronic GI issues. One study found that 8% of people were at an increased genetic risk for this deficiency (https://jpedres.org/articles/frequency-of-congenital-sucrase-isomaltase-deficiency-by-whole-exome-sequencing-is-it-really-rare/doi/jpr.galenos.2024.65625?utm_). Another study found that 25% with chronic GI symptoms had issues breaking down sucrose (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36304608/).   Thankfully, a diet exists for this which has been studied and shown to be very effective. In fact, it's been shown to be as or even more effective than some of the best diets we currently have for improving gut health – therefore maybe the best diet for gut health?   Let's break down what this enzyme deficiency is, what the diet is, SSRD, and how this diet applies and can be helpful even for those with underlying fungal or bacterial overgrowth and leaky gut.  

In this episode, Lisa opens with the reminder that real, sustainable change begins not in urgency, panic, or the frantic rush to “fix” your body, but in the quiet, embodied willingness to be exactly where you are. She invites listeners to step out of the urgency of weight‑loss pressure and into the felt safety that makes transformation possible—safety in your breath, in your body, and in the present moment. Lisa unpacks why panic tightens the system, why urgency blocks clarity, and why the path forward only reveals itself when you stop fighting the moment you're in. Drawing on lived experience, nervous‑system science, and a three‑level coaching framework, she guides listeners toward releasing the fear‑driven chase for change so one can finally see the exit, the path, and the next right step from a grounded, regulated place. Topics Include:Releasing PanicEmotional SafetyFramework for SuccessCommunity[1:55] Lisa shifts the conversation from theoretical groundwork to the "core conversation" of intentional weight loss, specifically focusing on the physiological components of radical acceptance and non-attachment. Lisa emphasizes moving beyond intellectual understanding. The goal is to "embody it until you habituate to it." Lisa explains that safety and acceptance must be felt physiologically to be effective.[3:50] Lisa uses the Harry Potter scene involving Devil's Snare to illustrate the body's response to discomfort.Panic: Struggling and fighting (like Ron) causes the plant to constrict tighter, meeting fear with fear causes physiological contraction and worsens symptoms.Relaxation: Relaxing and "trying on the energy of relaxation" (like Hermione and Harry) causes the plant to release, helping the body to feel safe.[8:35] Lisa applies this to her experience with IBS and chronic pain. Realizing that panic was fueling her physical contraction, she utilized the mantra: "You are uncomfortable, you are not unsafe." The urgency to lose weight is compared to being trapped in a burning room. Panicking and screaming "I have to get out" only adds fuel to the fire and blocks the exit. [25:52] Lisa outlines the three levels required for success:Emotional Sobriety: Learning to feel feelings without using food as a drug.Mind-Body Connection: Connecting with food and the body intuitively.Intentional Weight Loss: This step should only be pursued after the groundwork of levels 1 and 2 is complete. Attempting Level 3 prematurely leads to the cycle of failure.[37:25] For those who react to their reflection as if they are a "predator," Lisa recommends her Mirror Work Challenge to build the capacity to bear witness to one's own body. Lisa addresses facing fears (like wearing a swimsuit in public), one should not throw themselves into the deep end and dissociate. Instead, she urges taking fetus steps to stay in a learning zone rather than a danger zone. She encourages to imagine how one would move, breathe, and exist if they already felt safe, and to start embodying those physical behaviors now. [1:06:06] Lisa argues that individual work is not enough because humans have an "animal brain in a social context."- Quoting "grief cannot be metabolized in isolation," she emphasizes that healing requires safe relationships and the brain needs to learn there are people who can see, love, and accept you without judgment.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

This week's episode is a little different. Instead of a guest interview, Beth shares a field report from IBS 2026 in Orlando — breaking down what actually stood out on the show floor. From hidden products made visible, to gamified lead capture, to brands repositioning themselves around partnership instead of product, this episode unpacks the booth strategies that felt intentional and the ones that felt forgettable. The strongest brands weren't just showcasing products. They were designing for decision-making and building ROI directly into the experience. If trade shows are part of your 2026 strategy, this one's worth a listen.

Hello and Welcome! In today's episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr Sula Windgassen, health psychologist, psychotherapist and author of one of my favourite new books, 'It's All In Your Body', which explores the conversation between mind, body and environment and how that can influence and sustain pain and poor healthIn today's conversation, we discussed lots of different threads, including the intersection of psychology and physiology in health care, particularly for pelvic pain and bladder/bowel conditions. We explored the Power Threat Meaning Framework, stress management, and goal-setting approaches, emphasising the importance of process goals rather than solely focusing on pain elimination. Sula shared her personal health journey and explained how health psychology differs from clinical psychology, and we both highlighted the need for integrated care between psychologists and physiotherapists. We discussed the complexities of stress, particularly how it relates to endometriosis and the challenges faced by those with persistent pelvic pain, and explored how stress can be a stressor, an automatic response, and an action, emphasising the need to differentiate between these concepts to avoid self-blame and stigma. Sula explained that stressors can be external or internal, and automatic stress responses can be psychological or physiological, highlighting the importance of understanding these distinctions to better support individuals experiencing stress-related issues.Sula's book explores the intersection of biology and psychology in pain management, particularly relevant to women's health issues, such as bladder dysfunction, IBS and persistent pelvic pain. For anyone who has ever worried that their pain neuroscience education has floundered, and the people that we are working with are left with the feeling 'they think this is all in my head' - this book will give you the tools to counteract that fear!We also discussed the upcoming release of Grainne Donnelly's new book, Sports Medicine & the Pelvic Floor, to which we've both contributed - a great time for book loving pelvic health nerds, for sure!If you'd like to learn more about Female Pelvic Pain Rehab, my online course is available, alongside all of my other online courses, at CelebrateMuliebrity.comUntil next time, Onwards & Upwards, Mx #celebratemuliebrity

 FODMAPs and Fructose in Kids: Why Healthy Foods Can Cause Gut Symptoms This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're exploring a confusing but incredibly common experience for families: when “healthy” foods seem to trigger bloating, tummy pain, irregular bowels, or fatigue in kids.If your child reacts to foods like apples, garlic, lentils, smoothies, or even large amounts of fruit and you've already tried removing gluten or dairy without clear answers - this episode will help you understand what might really be going on inside their gut.We unpack how FODMAPs and fructose malabsorption can affect digestion in children, why symptoms often overlap with eczema and allergies, and why simply removing more foods isn't the long-term solution.In this episode, we explore:✅ What FODMAPs actually are and why some children struggle to digest these otherwise healthy foods ✅ How fructose malabsorption can cause bloating, gas, fatigue, and ongoing gut symptoms ✅ Why low FODMAP diets should only be short term and what needs to happen alongside them to support gut health ✅ How improving gut function and microbiome balance helps children tolerate more foods over time

Bloating after “healthy” meals, random cramps, or bathroom roulette can make food feel like the enemy. We break down FODMAPs in plain language and show how a short-term, guided approach can calm IBS symptoms without cutting the very foods that protect long-term health. Instead of fear, we offer a framework: treat the burden, not the food.We start by explaining what FODMAPs are, fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols, and why they can trigger gas and draw water into the bowel. Then we connect the dots to IBS and visceral hypersensitivity, where normal gut stretching can feel painful and motility swings between diarrhea and constipation. You'll hear why apples, onions, beans, and whole grains aren't villains; they're often prebiotic powerhouses that feed beneficial microbes and help produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.From there, we map a clear, three-phase plan for a low FODMAP strategy done right. Phase one reduces symptoms with short-term restriction. Phase two reintroduces foods methodically by FODMAP category to identify personal triggers and tolerable doses. Phase three rebuilds a broad, fiber-rich diet tailored to your threshold, keeping variety high, symptoms low, and your microbiome thriving. We also flag when to seek medical care for red-flag symptoms and why this is not a DIY project. A registered dietitian's guidance protects your nutrition, prevents needless restriction, and speeds up finding your sweet spot.If you've been told to ban fruit, ditch beans, or fear grains, you'll leave with a calmer, smarter plan. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's struggling with bloating, and leave a review with the one food you hope to bring back to your plate.Go check out my website for tons of free resources on how to transition towards a healthier diet and lifestyle.You can download my free plant-based recipes eBook and a ton of other free resources by visiting the Digital Downloads tab of my website at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/shopDon't forget to check out my blog at https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/blog You can also watch my educational videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMpkQRXb7G-StAotV0dmahQCheck out my upcoming live events and free eCourse, where you'll learn more about how to create delicious plant-based recipes: https://www.plantbaseddrjules.com/Go follow me on social media by visiting my Facebook page and Instagram accountshttps://www.facebook.com/plantbaseddrjuleshttps://www.instagram.com/plantbased_dr_jules/Last but not least, the best way to show your support and to help me spread my message is to subscribe to my podcast and to leave a 5 star review on Apple and Spotify!Thanks so much!Peace, love, plants!Dr. Jules

Send a textRole of bile acids in cholesterol regulation, digestion & metabolic diseases like diabetes.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Bile acids basics: They enable cholesterol excretion, with about half of bodily cholesterol eliminated this way, and also aid digestion by emulsifying fats to increase enzyme access.Bile production & pathway: Synthesized in liver hepatocytes, bile flows via ducts to the gallbladder for storage or directly to the small intestine; post-meal, cholecystokinin triggers gallbladder contraction for fat emulsification.Regulation of bile acids: Self-regulated to prevent cytotoxicity, as excess can damage cell membranes; insulin and bile acids themselves influence synthesis and transport, with defects in insulin-resistant states.Bile acids in metabolic diseases: Increased synthesis, especially 12-hydroxylated types, occurs in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance, potentially as an adaptation for better nutrient absorption during perceived scarcity.Gallbladder removal & gallstones: Common due to cholesterol supersaturation forming stones; removal eliminates concentration but preserves bile flow, reducing tolerance for high-fat meals.Bariatric surgery impacts: Procedures like gastric bypass increase circulating bile acids without major synthesis changes, while more extreme ones boost synthesis due to impaired intestinal sensing.Cholesterol homeostasis: Cells tightly regulate membrane cholesterol for fluidity and signaling; most bodily cholesterol is synthesized internally, with LDL receptors key to blood levels.Ongoing research: Haeusler's lab explores manganese's role in metabolism, bile acids in liver inflammation, and insulin's effects on lipoproteins.ABOUT THE GUEST: Rebecca Haeusler, PhD is an associate professor at Columbia University in the departments of medicine and pathology and cell biology, affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center and the Digestive and Liver Diseases Research Center.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 269 | Soybean Oil: Obesity, Fatty Liver Disease, Gut Health, IBS & Colitis | Frances SladekSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

And it's something so many people quietly go through but rarely talk about openly.This episode dives into potassium levels — what they mean, why they matter, and how a simple blood result can suddenly make you look at your health in a completely different way. When numbers start creeping up, questions start racing. Is it serious? Is it heart-related? Is it medication? Is it something more?But this isn't just about blood tests.It's about that dull ache on the right-hand side of your abdomen. The discomfort. The bloating. The worry that something isn't quite right. And the decision we've all faced at some point — “Do I ignore this… or do I go to A&E?”In this episode, we talk openly about a visit to the local A&E department, the examination process, the conversations with doctors, and hearing those three letters: IBS.We break down:• What potassium actually does in the body • Why levels can rise • When it becomes dangerous • How medications can influence it • The difference between anxiety and emergency • And what IBS really is — and isn'tMost importantly, this episode is about reassurance. About understanding your body. About asking questions.

Episode 26-8 Do You Need A Healing? Start Here… Millions of Americans are currently dealing with some kind of chronic condition. Conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, cancer, Type 2 Diabetes, Hashimoto's, IBS, Alzheimer's, headaches, eczema, erectile dysfunction, fibromyalgia, etc. Fortunately, these conditions can usually be improved through natural measures. The question is HOW? HOW does one get their body to heal itself naturally? While there are many different strategies to consider… strategies that differ based upon the involved condition… there is ONE thing that each strategy has in common.  One thing that will help set you on the right path with regard to YOUR healing journey: Your starting point. It's true. No matter what health issue you're seeking to heal from… there is ONE place for you to start and it's here: With a blood test. On this episode I go into great depth regarding the specific blood tests I recommend for anyone seeking to heal their body from a chronic disease.  Specifically, I talk about how the root CAUSE of most chronic conditions correlates with something that is "off" in one or more of these blood tests. Or, stated in a slightly different way: The root CAUSE of most chronic conditions is something that will show up in one or more of these blood tests. This is incredibly valuable because once you identify what is "off" in your blood work you can then implement strategies to correct it. This, in turn, will place your body in an environment that's conducive to healing. Give this episode a good listen if you're serious about having your body heal itself naturally. And, as always, be sure to share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

Fatigue, hormone balance, gut health, and weight loss resistance all get a lot louder in midlife — and if you've ever wondered why you're doing "all the right things" but still dealing with brain fog, low energy, IBS, bloating, or that exhausted, wired feeling, this episode is going to land in a big way. In this conversation, I'm joined by health journalist Meghan Rabbitt (who's spent nearly 25 years interviewing top experts) to talk about the new rules women need to know to protect their health across the lifespan — especially through perimenopause, menopause, and everything that can shift your metabolism, stress response, digestive health, and sense of clarity. What I love about Meghan's work is how she brings evidence-based reporting into real life, so you can walk into your next appointment feeling confident, informed, and ready to advocate for yourself. If you've ever left a doctor's office feeling dismissed… or you've brushed off your own symptoms because your labs look "normal"… you're going to feel seen here. We get into what women commonly miss in midlife (and why it matters), how to make sense of conflicting health advice online, and what it actually looks like to become the CEO of your own healthcare — without feeling overwhelmed. Key points (listen for the details inside the episode) The "CEO of your health" mindset that can shift everything — especially when fatigue, hormone imbalance, and digestive issues start stacking up Why women normalize pain, exhaustion, and heavy symptoms — and how that can quietly worsen outcomes over time The simple research skill that helps you filter misinformation, make smarter choices, and protect your brain health and metabolism The midlife missed opportunity that can impact cognitive decline, energy, hormone balance, and long-term health — and what to do differently now Why this matters if you're navigating fatigue, hormone balance, and gut health in midlife A lot of women hit perimenopause and suddenly their usual strategies stop working. Energy drops. Brain fog creeps in. Bloating and digestive issues get louder. IBS flares. Weight loss resistance shows up out of nowhere. And the frustrating part is that it can all look "fine" on standard labs — which leads to the classic spiral of self-doubt: maybe this is just what midlife feels like. This episode is a reset. Not because we're handing you a complicated protocol, but because we're talking about the foundation: how to understand your body well enough to ask better questions, get better care, and stop dismissing symptoms that are trying to give you information. We also talk about the "why" behind the habits you hear about all the time — movement, strength training, and the real brain-protective benefits of exercise. Because when you understand the reason something matters, you're far more likely to follow through (and you're less likely to get pulled into the hype of whatever the latest online trend is). And if stress has been a constant for you — the kind that affects sleep and hormones, increases inflammation, shifts cortisol, and disrupts the gut-brain connection — you'll appreciate the way we frame personal advocacy. The goal isn't to do everything perfectly. The goal is to know what matters, prioritize what's most relevant to your symptoms, and take one steady step at a time. This is the kind of episode that makes you want to hit play, grab a note app, and walk into your next appointment with a completely different level of clarity.

On today's episode of the CLS Experience, host Craig Siegel sits down with board-certified internal medicine physician and gastroenterologist Dr. Will B to explore the science and soul of gut health. They break down the gut microbiome as a community of roughly 38 trillion microbes that influence digestion, immunity, metabolism, hormones, mood, and even brain health. Dr. B emphasizes authentic connection - to self, others, and spiritual wellbeing - as foundational to true health, and shares his own journey of burnout, weight gain, depression, and ultimate transformation through dietary change. The conversation challenges medication-first healthcare and instead champions a root-cause, lifestyle medicine approach built on nutrition, sleep, stress management, exercise, and consistency. They dive deep into fiber as the missing nutrient in 95% of American diets, the power of short-chain fatty acids, the gut–brain connection, IBS reversal, coffee as a gut-health beverage, alcohol and gut permeability, and the importance of small daily habits. This could extend your life - let's go deep. 6:42 Gut Microbiome 101: Why It's the Body's Command Center14:53 Fiber Deficiency & Microbiome Diversity25:09 Short-Chain Fatty Acids, GLP-1 & Brain Health33:53 Dr. B's Personal Health Transformation48:54 Coffee, Consistency & Daily Habits52:30 Alcohol, Leaky Gut & Microbial EndotoxinsCheck out Dr. WIll on Instagram HERE: Check out Dr. WIll's Website HERE:Check out Dr. Will's Book HERE:Tickets now available for our live event March 5th, CLS: Genesis HERE:Check out our brand new RISE Framework to unlock your purpose HERE.Check out our partner Belay using our custom link HERE to find the best help available to grow your business!To join our community click here.➤ To connect with Craig Siegel follow Craig on Instagram➤ Order a copy of my new book The Reinvention Formula today! ➤ Join our CLS texting community for free daily inspiration and business strategies to elevate your day, text (917) 634-3796➤ INSTAGRAM➤ FACEBOOK➤ TIKTOK➤ YOUTUBE➤ WEBSITE➤ LINKEDIN➤ X

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:    S: What's the deal with smoothies? Why are they recommended so much? Not just by Equilife but from a lot of other wellness practitioners. In general I find they don't satiate me for long and could end up causing me to overeat in the long run. But more than that, I developed a different issue. I found Equilife, as it seems many have, when experiencing gut issues (probably post infectious IBS) and looking for answers. My issues kept coming and going. Then I started to realize it was aggravated during detoxes. (This all evolved over a year and a half.) I finally discussed with AI. In a nutshell, AI suggested I eat warm foods only, cooked veggies. Eat foods in a particular order. This wasn't high risk so I tried this advice. It helped so much. So now I wonder, is it really best to recommend smoothies for everyone? Especially when the detox with shakes or smoothies are recommended as a starting point before other protocols? Seems like if smoothies were to be recommended, it might be better post gut healing? (I now remember a Chinese medicine practitioner telling me years ago that warm food is better for a sensitive gut. I had forgotten that temporarily.) Btw - it's all cold or raw food that can be too much for me right now. Not just shakes or smoothies but I also tested these things alone, outside of the detox. I just see smoothies recommended as nutrition for all kinds of reasons and to people with all kinds of gut issues and don't really hear anyone discuss when it is not good for some of us. Now I just need to figure out how long to heal before I can add back cold food and raw veggies at times. I miss my carrot sticks but glad my gut is happier. So why are smoothies such a thing in the wellness community?      Katie: Thank you for everything you have done and taught me. I had a Prenuvo scan done (thank you for the code) and found that I have a small pineal gland cyst, multiple kidney cysts, a syrinx in my spinal cord and a cyst on my cervix. I lived a very unhealthy first 33 years, but have been living clean the last 3. Big 5 showed bacterial overgrowth, mold, candida, heavy metals, mitochondrial dysfunction, high manganese, high bedtime cortisol, and low T3. Hormones and omegas were optimal. What is the root cause of cyst formation? Besides going through protocols and proteolytic enzymes is there anything else I should do? Of course, not looking for diagnosis or treatment plan.                                                            Liz: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 36 year old female with no history of health problems before the last 2 years. On June 26, 2024 I underwent an XILF lumbar fusion surgery to fuse my L4/L5 because of chronic back pain. I soon found that this was the biggest mistake of my life. I haven't been the same since. I have been experiencing unrelenting, chronic nausea and abdominal discomfort on a daily basis. I also experience brain fog and chronic fatigue. As such, my performance at work has significantly decreased, my mood has been at an all time low, some days I can't even get out of bed. I wish I never had the surgery, had I known my quality of life would have plummeted so drastically. I've gone to countless specialists (a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, an ENT, neurologist, OBGYN, Accupuncture, even tried Reiki, and every test result shows unremarkable/normal results. I recently went to pain management and they gave me an epidural after seeing significant scar tissue around the surgical site. I am not experiencing any relief. In fact, I think I feel worse. I am getting married in May and want to start a family but have not been able to get myself right since my surgery. I'm scared I'll never be able to find relief. I don't know where else to turn or what else to do. I just want to get back to normal again and enjoy my life. If there's anything you can think of that I can try, I'll do it. I'm at my wits end. Please help me.                                                                  Rebecka: Hi Dr. Cabral. I have recently been diagnosed with Anemia. I have not been told the specific type of Anemia. I feel terrible 24/7. My symptoms include fatigue, weakness, dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath. I feel this is an off and on chronic problem as I have realized I've been having these symptoms for years. My RBC are low, my retic is low and low lymphocytes. Mcv and mch values were high on my CBC. Vitamin b12 and folate normal and my TSH was what I considered low normal. I also experienced a hot flash after lunch every day. I am very petite at 5ft 1 and 95-100lbs and I am 43 years old. What tests should I be doing to figure out the root cause of my anemia? I know hormones and stress can play a role as well. I live a very stressful lifestyle working full time with 2 young daughters. On top of all this, I had an ultrasound of my abdomen in December. It showed biliary sludge and a 2cm hemangioma on my liver. Are there and herbs to dissolve the sludge before it causes any more pain or complications? I would just like to feel "good" again and live a somewhat normal life. Please help me.        Renee: Hi Dr Cabral, Firstly thank you for your dedication to helping people globally find answers to their health challenges. I am an IHP lv 2 and would greatly appreciate any advice on a client with CIDP (MADSAM syndrome) — Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy. A 62 yr old male, fit, dealing with symptoms for 2 yrs, legs are weak and seem to be getting weaker, continues to experience widespread fasciculations (nerve twitching), which are now also affects his hands. His neurologist has recommenced treatment with IVIG (Intravenous immunoglobulin) to address what body is doing to the nerves. I will be having him on the DESTRESS protocol and highly recommending the Big 5 to get to the root cause. Your thoughts on using IVIG along with removing toxicities and replacing deficiencies would be extremely appreciated as I am very keen to help him reverse this and get his life back. Thanking you in advance.
