Dr. Hana Kahleova reveals the surprising science behind mint. From digestion and blood flow to coughing, inflammation, exercise performance, and antioxidants, mint may be doing far more for your health than you realize. In this episode, you'll learn how compounds in mint may support the body in multiple ways. Dr. Kahleova joins Chuck Carroll to explain how mint has been used for centuries, what modern research shows, and why simple options like mint tea, fresh mint leaves, and topical menthol can offer unique and powerful benefits.

We named this episode "What Happens After the After Picture". As a society, we are obsessed with the before and after, the makeover... the result. But what happens when human life doesn't have a result? What happens when the human condition is a lifelong experience? This is the truth for all of us, and Lisa's observations based on her own IBS journey are incredible. Every one of you will walk away with a gem from this convo. Plus, I love talking to my friend. Plus, I can't stop swearing (sorry). Don't worry, you'll just laugh with us.

A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

Mind Your Body author Nicole Sachs explains how pain is your brain's alarm, and why facing buried feelings can reverse symptoms once thought permanent.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1337What We Discuss with Nicole Sachs:Pain is the brain's protective alarm, not a malfunction. The brain can both create and remove pain. It generates real symptoms to force you to slow down and stop returning to environments it has flagged as unsafe.Symptoms are real, but the source may be misdiagnosed. Chronic pain, IBS, migraines, fatigue, and long COVID aren't imaginary, but the nervous system — not the body part being treated — is often where the real trouble originates.A nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight produces physical illness. When the brain perceives constant "predators" — a hostile boss, money stress, unresolved trauma — it stays in survival mode, driving inflammation, muscle spasm, and nerve pain.Repressed emotion is read by the body as a threat. When difficult feelings go unseen and unfelt, the nervous system treats them as a predator — surfacing as flares, migraines, or chronic conditions long after the original event.You have far more power to heal than you realize. By learning the neuroscience and processing buried emotions through tools like JournalSpeak, people teach the nervous system it's safe — and many reverse chronic symptoms once thought permanent.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Cellular Health, Travel Fatigue, and Why Your Body Feels Off After a Trip Fatigue after travel isn't just about being tired — it can affect your gut health, hormone balance, metabolism, brain fog, and energy. Have you ever come home from a trip feeling bloated, constipated, foggy, run down, or completely exhausted? In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Monisha Bhanote about what really happens inside the body when we travel — and why symptoms like low energy, digestive issues, stress, bloating, and sluggish recovery are not random. Dr. Bhanote brings a unique perspective to cellular health because she has spent years studying cells, tissues, and disease patterns under the microscope. We talk about how travel can impact digestion, immunity, focus, mitochondrial energy, and recovery — and why your gut can even experience its own version of jet lag. If you struggle with fatigue, brain fog, IBS, bloating, constipation, weight loss resistance, perimenopause symptoms, or feeling "off" after travel, this episode will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you. Key Points • Why travel can disrupt your gut microbiome and trigger bloating, constipation, and digestive issues. • How airplane travel may affect brain fog, focus, and energy. • Why cortisol, dehydration, caffeine, alcohol, and poor sleep can drain your metabolism. • What cellular health has to do with feeling better and recovering faster. Listen In This conversation will help you see travel fatigue in a whole new way. Inside the episode, we connect the dots between gut health, stress, inflammation, hormones, detoxification, and cellular energy — so you can better understand why your body feels different when your routine changes.

You have been told your chronic fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are just "stress" or IBS. But what if a Harvard medical discovery proved that a single biological switch in your stomach is actually the root cause of every symptom you are experiencing? Your gut lining is only one cell thick, and right now, it might be tearing apart. Uncover the exact biological mechanism behind "Leaky Gut" (intestinal permeability) and why it is the true driver behind autoimmune diseases, thyroid failures, and even neurological conditions like autism and anxiety. We explore the 2000 Harvard discovery of Zonulin—the protein switch that opens your gut junctions—and the exact environmental triggers forcing it open.  I break down the terrifying truth about how chronic stress alters your gut bacteria in just two hours, and how daily exposure to Glyphosate (Roundup) is starving your beneficial microbes. Finally, I reveal my exact 6-step clinical protocol to permanently seal your gut lining, including the specific amino acids (L-Glutamine), minerals (Zinc Carnosine), and soil-based probiotics required for total cellular repair.   Uncover what's really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

MCAS is one of those diagnoses that can make it feel like your body is telling a dozen stories at once—and no one is listening. If you're experiencing GI symptoms alongside flushing, hives, brain fog, fatigue, palpitations, medication sensitivities, or a persistent "fight-or-flight" feeling, this episode is designed to help connect the dots without oversimplifying your experience.In this episode, we sit down with gastroenterologist Dr. Zachary Spiritos to unpack mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and explore the connections between immune activation, the gut-brain axis, and symptoms that can affect nearly every system in the body. We discuss why patients are often dismissed, how stress and hormonal changes can amplify symptoms, and what a realistic, stepwise treatment approach looks like when the evidence base is still evolving.In this episode, we discuss:• What mast cells do and why MCAS can affect multiple organ systems • Why MCAS is often missed in siloed medical care and mislabeled as anxiety • Barrier dysfunction, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability as a useful framework • Histamine as one mediator among many and why antihistamines are not a perfect treatment for all• Links between MCAS, IBS, visceral hypersensitivity, dysautonomia, and POTS • Hypermobility, pelvic floor dysfunction, and neck tension as common clinical clues • Treatment principles including start low and go slow, informed consent, and layered individualized plans • Dietary approaches patients commonly explore, including low-histamine, low-FODMAP, and gluten-free patterns • Hormonal influences across the menstrual cycle and during perimenopause• The role of sleep, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction in decreasing symptom reactivity If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis, this episode will help you make sense of the bigger picture and explore what healing can look like when the gut, immune system, and nervous system are all part of the conversation. References:Ford AC, Staudacher HM, Talley NJ.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Of all the conversations we have on this podcast, this one feels especially important because Dr. Howard Schubiner has been standing at the intersection of medicine, neuroscience, research, and mindbody healing for decades. In this episode, Howard shares the personal and professional path that led him from traditional medicine to Dr. Sarno's work, and eventually to becoming one of the leading voices in neuroplastic chronic pain and illness. We talk about why pain is never “all in your head,” but is always created by the brain, how predictive processing helps explain why symptoms feel so real and so frightening, and why curiosity is often the first crack in the fear that keeps people stuck. Howard also walks us through the growing body of randomized controlled research behind Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Emotion Awareness and Expression Therapy, including why these approaches are showing such meaningful results compared with more traditional coping-based therapies. We talk about chronic pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines, pelvic pain, IBS, and the many symptoms that can arise when the nervous system is operating from fear, learned danger, and unprocessed emotional experience. What I love most about Howard's work is that it is deeply scientific and deeply compassionate at the same time. His message is not that your suffering is imagined. His message is that your suffering is real, your body is not broken, and there may be a way forward that you have not yet been offered. Joins us! XO n.

Most IBS protocols start and end with food restriction, and most clients walk away frustrated when the elimination diet doesn't deliver the relief they were promised. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research actually says about the two biggest risk factors for IBS and general gut issues, why some studies rank one higher than the other, and how the gut-brain axis explains why dietary changes alone often plateau. I walk through a recent review of internet-delivered CBT trials that produced large reductions in IBS symptoms while participants kept their diet constant, what those CBT protocols actually included, and how the physiological pathway from sympathetic nervous system activation to gut inflammation creates the perfect storm for symptom flare-ups.Topics Discussed: - Main Risk Factors for IBS- Stress and the Sympathetic Nervous System- Stomach Acid and SIBO Risk- Ultra-Processed Foods and the Microbiome- Emulsifiers and the Gut Lining- CBT Research and the Gut-Brain Axis- What a CBT Protocol Actually Includes- The 360-Degree Approach---------- Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

This episode dives deep into the relationship between food poisoning, gut motility, microbiome dysfunction, chronic bloating, inflammation, and recurring digestive symptoms. Lindsey explains why many people continue struggling with SIBO despite repeated rounds of treatment and discusses the importance of identifying root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Josh and Lindsey also explore advanced testing options such as the IBS Smart Test, stool microbiome testing, and breath testing while discussing overlooked contributors including mold exposure, low stomach acid, pancreatic insufficiency, adhesions, hypothyroidism, and immune dysfunction. One of the most fascinating parts of the episode centers around fasting and the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet. Lindsey shares her experience of seeing autoimmune markers associated with post-infectious IBS normalize after implementing fasting protocols, opening an important discussion about immune regulation and gut healing. Whether you're dealing with IBS, SIBO, chronic bloating, microbiome imbalances, inflammation, or unresolved digestive symptoms, this episode provides a powerful root-cause perspective on what may be driving your gut issues and what steps you can take toward lasting recovery.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Post-Infectious IBS & Autoimmune Mechanisms SIBO Root Causes & Recurrence Food Poisoning as a Trigger for Chronic Gut Disease Testing (IBS Smart, Stool Testing, Breath Testing) Mold Toxicity & Hidden Drivers of Gut Symptoms Treatment Approaches (Prokinetics, Antimicrobials, Elemental Diet) Broader Chronic Disease & Food Supply Discussion Other SIBO Root Causes (Adhesions, Thyroid, Pancreatic Issues)   More from Lindsey Parsons: Website: highdeserthealthcoaching.com Instagram: high.desert.health Facebook: High Desert Health Youtube: @highdeserthealth X: @HDesertHealth Listen to Lindsey's Podcast: The Perfect Stool Podcast Get Lindsey's Products: perfectstool.com   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Anxiety and chronic illness are rarely talked about together and almost never in the way that actually matters.Because the anxiety most women with chronic illness carry is not about their life. It is about their own body. And that specific fear, being afraid of the one thing you can never get distance from, creates an emotional pattern that quietly changes your relationship with your body in ways that make healing significantly harder. In this mini, you'll discover:Why anxiety about your own body is fundamentally different from any other kind of fear — and why it never switches offHow that fear pulls you out of your body and turns you into someone who surveils it rather than someone who lives in itOne powerful question that reveals exactly where your relationship with your body stands right nowIf you want to understand which emotional patterns may be driving your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

Are you struggling with chronic symptoms that you can't explain or get rid of, and nothing you've tried has worked? Do you have symptoms all over your body, from rashes to diarrhea to headaches, fatigue, and tinnitus, but no diet, doctor, or supplement you've tried has helped? Do you have a history of estrogen dominance, hypothyroidism, candida, SIBO, IBS, or toxic mold exposure - but even when trying to address these issues, you don't feel better? If so, this episode is for you. On today's episode, I'm diving into salicylate sensitivity. Salicylate sensitivity, or salicylate intolerance as called by some, is an issue that someone can develop for a variety of reasons, but is increasingly common in the chronically ill population. And, unfortunately, it is often overlooked or forgotten about by both conventional and holistic practitioners. That's why, in today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about salicylate sensitivity. I'll be going over:Salicylate sensitivity symptomsHow to test for salicylate sensitivityWhat salicylates are What foods and medications are high in salicylatesCauses of salicylate sensitivity And a natural treatment pathway to reverse your salicylate sensitivity Salicylate sensitivity is real, but it doesn't have to be a permanent sensitivity. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how to find and address your root causes of salicylate sensitivity.

Less than 25% of people with IBS get real relief from conventional medicine. That number tells you everything about how the current approach is failing.Most people with IBS have been told it is stress, told to take medication, and sent home. But irritable bowel syndrome is not one condition, it is a label applied to a cluster of symptoms that can have 20 to 40 completely different root causes.

Is there a carbonation crisis bubbling up across the beverage industry? For decades, beverage executives stayed awake worrying about the war on sugar, anti-alcohol laws, and Gen Z trends. Today, the biggest liability might be the bubbles themselves. A massive shift in human biology and consumer habits is quietly threating the multibillion-dollar packaged beverage landscape:Surge in Gastrointestinal Distress: Roughly two-thirds of adults regularly suffer from distressing digestive symptoms like bloating and IBS. Their first medical directive? Cut the carbonation.GLP-1 Effect: Weight-loss medications chemically delay gastric emptying. When trapped carbon dioxide hits a slow-moving stomach, it causes intense pain, nausea, and reflux. GLP-1 households cut their spending on sugary, carbonated drinks by nearly 10% within just six months.The alcohol sector (particularly traditional beer) is facing an existential contraction. Meanwhile, non-alcoholic brands are rapidly launching defenses...Functionality: Rebranding fizz into a gut-health hero using prebiotic fibers (e.g., Olipop, Poppi).Going "Fizz-Free": Growing massive platforms with non-carbonated energy drinks (e.g., CELSIUS). Altering the Gas: Experimenting with nitrogenation for a creamy, stomach-friendly mouthfeel.What's next? Expect front-of-pack labeling to evolve. Standardized visual "fizz scales" and terms like “lightly effervescent” will soon become mainstream retail standards.The modern consumer's biology has fundamentally changed. Executives who view digestive health and GLP-1 side effects as a passing trend are misjudging the market. The bubble hasn't popped yet, but it's noticeably losing air!

Constipation is a huge pain in the ass...  and if you're not having at least 1 to 2 bowel movements a day, you're on the "constipation spectrum." Long term opioid use, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and the newer weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro all slow your gut and put you on the same path that killed Elvis Presley.  So does chronic stress, mold exposure, parasites, and the kind of inflammation that drives most cases of IBS, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Defining constipation What actually causes it Why doctors miss the root cause The risks of long term constipation  How to fix constipation naturally   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

What if the discipline, the drive and the work ethic that made you successful at everything else in your life is the reason your chronic illness is not getting better?Most women with autoimmune disease and chronic illness have never considered that the emotional patterns driving their symptoms might include the way they are approaching healing itself.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the women doing the most work on themselves are often the ones whose bodies are responding the leastHow obsessive focusing on getting better actually keeps your body in a state that makes progress virtually impossibleOne shift that separates women who are performing healing from women who are actually healingIf you want to know what emotional patterns may be driving your specific symptoms, use my free ChatGPT prompt to find out in under 30 seconds.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to healthy living Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, LifeWave Patches, Spore Based Probiotics, and the Microbiome  [00:00:00] Intro & Health News Ed notes Target will remove artificial colors from all cereals within two months. Promotion of Chattanooga Fitness / Bodybuilding event on July 11 featuring bodybuilding legend Lee Haney; Ed training for his 4th year of competition at nearly age 69. Ed introduces a new olive oil at Nutrition World: Firma Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tanzania). Comparison with Life Extension olive oil: Tested very high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. New Tanzanian oil is about $10 cheaper while comparable in health benefits. Reminder of chronic inflammation as a root of many diseases. [00:04:00] Peptides, Educational Resources & Holistic Navigator Mention of peptide expert Noel Lawson, recently on the show. Brief explanation: peptides as specific amino acid chains that can influence healing, sexual function, fat loss, sleep, etc. Ed promotes his ebooks at TheHolisticNavigator.com, including: Immune system (prevention + “what to do when you feel sick now”). Oxalates and joint/muscle pain & stiffness. Sleep, oral hygiene, and how to use AI for health/fitness and weight loss. Clint mentions a large back catalog of podcasts on topics like leaky gut, bone health, pet health, brain fog, etc. [00:06:13] Segment Transition to LifeWave Patches Ed previews two guests for the day: Myra from LifeWave patches. Mary from Just Thrive (spore-based probiotics). [00:13:10] LifeWave Light-Activated Patches – Concept & Mechanism (Myra) Ed introduces Myra from LifeWave Key concepts explained: Patches are non-transdermal (no drugs/nutrients enter the body). They reflect the body's own low-level infrared light back into the body. Inside the patch is a proprietary lattice of amino acids, salts, sugars, and water. This reflected light is tuned (patented wavelengths) to elevate certain peptides or affect specific systems. Elevates GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is associated with “master cells” (stem-cell–like function) that can contribute to repair of various tissues. LifeWave has about 10 different patches, including: X39: flagship patch for overall regeneration, wound healing, energy, mental clarity, sleep. X49: supports performance, recovery, and bone density Placement & wear-time: Common points: back of neck at C7 or below the navel, often aligned with acupuncture points used in studies. For pain, you can place patches directly around the painful area (e.g., Myra using several patches around a sore knee). Typical protocol: 12 hours on, 12 hours off to avoid attenuation (body getting “used to” constant stimulation). Hydration and electrolytes (e.g., Celtic sea salt) recommended to support electrical signaling. Duration to notice effects: Most people notice differences within 30–90 days. General rule of thumb: 1 month of consistent use for every decade of age (e.g., ~5–6 months at age 50–60). [00:29:37] LifeWave Events, Website & Research Myra: LifeWave patches are intended to help bring the body back toward homeostasis, with the body doing the actual work. Ed notes there is published research on the patches (not just anecdote). Upcoming in-person event: LifeWave info session at Nutrition World Wellness Corner, June 27th , 10:00 am Resources: Website: WhyTheLight.com Myra's contact: 423-362-7227 for questions. [00:34:37] Just Thrive Probiotics (Mary) Introduces Mary from Just Thrive, a highly vetted brand at Nutrition World. Introduces key concept: spore-based probiotics, which behave differently than standard probiotics. Spore-based probiotics: bacteria with a natural protective shell (spore coat). This shell allows them to survive stomach acid and pH changes through the GI tract. Most conventional probiotics are fragile and often do not survive to the intestines, even with enteric coatings. Just Thrive's spore-based strains show 100% survivability to the intestines in clinical testing—everything on the label reaches the gut. High-level explanation of how Just Thrive works: If harmful or overgrown species are present, spores “sit next to” them and produce compounds to push them down. If beneficial species are low, spores produce “superfood-like” compounds to feed and boost them. Balancer of the microbiome, rather than just adding random strains. Leaky gut linkage: An imbalanced microbiome is a key root cause of leaky gut. Glyphosate (Roundup) acts like an antibiotic in the microbiome, driving dysbiosis and leaky gut. Antibiotics & repopulation: One antibiotic round can wipe out ~90% of gut bacteria. Without support, it can take 1 month to 2 years to rebuild from the remaining 10%. A clinical study: 1 capsule/day of Just Thrive led to a 10–100x increase in beneficial bacteria in 28 days, dramatically speeding recovery. Use with colonoscopy preps: Ed suggests starting spores before and continuing after aggressive gut-cleansing procedures to re-establish balance. Sensitivity / die-off: Some users may experience transient discomfort (gas, bloating, die-off). Strategy: start with ¼ to ½ capsule, even every other day, and titrate up to a full capsule as tolerated.   [00:48:12] Immune System, IBS, and “Gut as Central Axis” 70–90% of the immune system is in or around the gut; thus: A balanced microbiome is a foundation for immune health. Just Thrive data suggest benefits for IBS-like symptoms and immune dysfunction Mary uses an analogy: The digestive tract runs down the middle of the body and influences everything—so microbiome balance is a core foundation for overall health. Ed reinforces that you cannot be healthy with chronic leaky gut, and spores occupy a unique role that other probiotic forms cannot fill. Website: JustThriveHealth.com for more information.   [00:55:59] Iron, Coffee/Tea, and Gout Ed shares research summarized by Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) on iron absorption and coffee/tea: A cup of coffee with a hamburger reduced iron absorption by ~39%. Tea reduced iron absorption by ~64%. Taking vitamin C with the meal can counteract the inhibitory effect on iron absorption. Potential therapeutic angle for gout: Some data suggest lowering iron via coffee consumption reduced gout attacks. In one report, gout attacks markedly diminished in every participant, from complete remission to major reduction, with no widespread anemia. Ed recommends: Testing iron and ferritin (e.g., via Be Well Labs / BeginWithLabs.com). Considering strategic use of coffee/tea and vitamin C depending on whether someone's iron is too high or too low.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 24, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

Scared to eat before you go out in case you sh*t your pants?If you've suddenly started reacting to healthy foods like eggs, dairy, garlic, broccoli, or onions with bloating, gas, brain fog, diarrhea, or constipation — you are not crazy, and it's not just aging.In this episode, we're unpacking why so many women in perimenopause and midlife develop food sensitivities seemingly overnight, and why simply cutting out more and more foods is not the answer.We dive into the powerful connection between hormonal changes, stress, sleep, gut motility, and microbiome imbalance — and how they can create the perfect environment for issues like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and large intestine dysbiosis to develop.You'll learn:• How estrogen and progesterone changes impact digestion and the gut microbiome• Why chronic constipation can trigger food reactions and bloating• The different types of SIBO (hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) and how each one feels different• Why you may feel like you're reacting to “everything” you eat• The truth about low FODMAP diets — and why they're not meant to be forever• The difference between SIBO and large intestine dysbiosis• Why aggressive gut “kill protocols” often backfire• A gentler, more sustainable approach to healing your gut without surviving on rice and chicken.If you're tired of fearing food, constantly bloated, or feeling dismissed when your symptoms don't make sense, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening in your gut — and what steps you can take to start healing.Book your IBS discovery call today here.Follow me mindful_vitality#perimenopause #menopause #bloating #sibo #foodsensitivities #heartburn #brainfog #womenshealth #hormonehealth #hrt #ibs #gerd #fatigue #nutrientdeficiencies #hairloss #glutenfree #lowfodmap

Nervous system healing is one of the most talked about topics in chronic illness right now…But there is something nobody is saying about why regulation alone will never be enough and why your symptoms keep coming back no matter how much breathwork, meditation or vagal toning you do.In this mini, you'll discover:Why nervous system regulation works — and exactly where it falls short for women with chronic illnessWhat keeps putting your nervous system back into activation even after you regulate itOne question to ask yourself every time you reach for a regulation tool that begins to address the sourceIf you want to identify the emotional patterns that keep reactivating your nervous system, use my free ChatGPT prompt to connect your specific symptoms to possible emotional roots in under 30 seconds.

Why do your symptoms keep coming back… even when you're doing the "right" things? You clean up your diet. You take the supplements. You commit to the routine. You start feeling better. But the bloating comes back. The energy crashes return. The inflammation flares again. Or a completely different symptom shows up. And suddenly it feels like you're taking one step forward and two steps back. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explains why this pattern is so common (and why chronic symptoms usually require more than one quick fix). He breaks down what a "syndrome" really means, and why conditions like MCAS, leaky gut, IBS, metabolic syndrome, and chronic fatigue often involve multiple issues happening at the same time. In this episode, you'll learn: Why one supplement, medication, diet, or cleanse rarely solves chronic symptoms What your body may be trying to tell you when symptoms keep returning Why the order of healing matters just as much as the tools you use How stress, toxins, gut dysfunction, sleep, and lifestyle habits can all compound over time Why a personalized, root-cause strategy is often the missing link If you've been doing "all the right things" but still don't feel like yourself, this episode will help you start seeing the bigger picture.    

What if your "normal" thyroid labs aren't telling the full story? In this eye-opening episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with renowned integrative pharmacist and thyroid expert Dr. Izabella Wentz to uncover the powerful connection between gut health, IBS, autoimmune disease, and thyroid dysfunction — especially Hashimoto's. Dr. Wentz shares her deeply personal journey from debilitating IBS, anxiety, fatigue, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis to healing through root-cause medicine. Together, Dr. Anna and Dr. Wentz explore why so many women are told their thyroid labs are "normal" while they continue struggling with weight gain, brain fog, bloating, constipation, inflammation, hormonal shifts, and exhaustion. You'll learn why gut permeability ("leaky gut"), chronic stress, infections, food sensitivities, and microbiome imbalances may be silently driving autoimmune thyroid disease — and the practical steps you can take to begin healing. In this episode, you'll discover: Why thyroid antibodies matter — even when TSH appears "normal" The hidden connection between IBS and Hashimoto's How stress hormones disrupt the gut barrier and immune system Common root causes including parasites, H. pylori, SIBO, mold, and food sensitivities The truth about bloating, constipation, diarrhea, edema, and inflammation Functional medicine testing that may uncover what conventional medicine misses Nutrition, supplements, and gut-healing strategies that can support thyroid recovery If you've ever been told "everything looks fine" while your body says otherwise, this conversation is for you.

You've cleaned up your diet. You're taking the supplements. You've run the labs. You've done the protocols. And you're still tired, bloated, anxious, and burnt out, wondering what the heck you're missing. If that's you, this episode is the one. Michele Scarlet sits down with Sarah Ball, founder of Hormone Goddess and creator of the Hormone Goddess Method, for a vulnerable, story-driven conversation about burnout, cellular energy, and what's really going on for high-functioning women who feel like they're doing everything right and still not getting results. Sarah shares her own healing journey for the first time on a podcast. From years of misdiagnoses (Hashimoto's, PCOS, IBS, fatty liver), a 4-year missing period, and a parasite protocol that landed her with a small bowel obstruction and 6 weeks without a single bowel movement, to discovering that the missing piece wasn't more supplements or another kill protocol. It was voltage. In this episode, we cover: Why you can still feel exhausted even when your labs look "fine" What cellular energy (voltage) actually is and why mitochondria matter How the order of your protocols matters more than the protocols themselves Why kill protocols backfire when your body is in survival mode The drainage funnel and why opening it changes everything Masculine vs. feminine energy in healing & business Why a 20-step morning routine isn't the answer (and what actually is) Real client stories: reversing autoimmune diagnoses, conceiving after IVF, losing weight, getting off meds Whether you're an FDN practitioner, health coach, or a woman who's tired of being tired despite doing all the "right things," this conversation will completely reframe how you think about healing.

Up to 1 in 5 people may have this condition and never know it and the diagnoses they've been handed instead, from PCOS to IBS to chronic fatigue, may all be pointing at the same hidden cause. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tania Dempsey, Johns Hopkins-trained internist and one of the leading researchers on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, who tells me that 100% of her PCOS patients test positive for MCAS, and walks me through why mast cells may be the most overlooked driver of chronic illness in modern medicine. If you've been told your symptoms are idiopathic, or that nothing's wrong even though everything feels wrong, this is the conversation that finally connects the dots.

Fatigue, hormone balance, and gut health can all affect how your body looks and feels — but is "cortisol face" really the answer? If your face looks puffier, heavier, or different than it used to, TikTok may have convinced you cortisol is the problem. But the truth is more layered. In this episode, I'm breaking down what TikTok gets wrong about cortisol face, why one supplement or ice roller usually isn't enough, and how perimenopause, low progesterone, chronic stress, poor sleep, blood sugar, inflammation, and metabolism may all be part of the bigger picture. Key Points Why "cortisol face" is not a true diagnosis How hormone shifts can contribute to fluid retention and puffiness The one thing TikTok actually got right about your face Takeaway Your face is not betraying you — it may be communicating with you.

What does the vagus nerve actually do—and why does it matter for gut health, IBS, and anxiety?In this episode, we break down the vagus nerve in a clear, practical way, focusing on how it connects the gut and brain and why low vagal tone is linked to conditions like IBS, IBD, anxiety, depression, and chronic inflammation.We also explore why common advice like humming, gargling, or cold exposure which often isn't enough on its own, and what actually makes a meaningful difference clinically.You'll learn how the vagus nerve regulates digestion, stress response, inflammation, and gut motility, and how disruptions in this system can create a cycle of persistent symptoms.In this episode, we discuss:- What the vagus nerve is and how it connects the gut and brain- Why low vagal tone is linked to IBS, anxiety, and inflammation- How stress and the microbiome impact vagus nerve function - Why gut symptoms and mental health symptoms often overlap- Evidence-based ways to support vagal tone (breathing, cold exposure, exercise, social connection, and more)- When vagus nerve stimulators and clinical tools may be helpfulThis episode is for anyone dealing with IBS, chronic gut symptoms, anxiety, or feeling “stuck” despite trying multiple approaches to gut health.

If you have ever felt like something is off in your gut and nobody has been able to explain why, this episode is for you. On this episode of the Medical Disruptor, I sit down with Dr. Supriya Rao, a quadruple board certified gastroenterologist, to talk about what chronic gut symptoms are actually telling you, why the gut-brain connection is one of the most undertreated areas in medicine today, and what it looks like when a doctor goes beyond the standard workup to find real answers. We cover the truth about IBS, how hormones affect gut health in ways most people never get told, where GLP-1s actually fit into the picture, and the one question Dr. Rao says almost no patient ever thinks to ask. Your gut has been trying to tell you something. It's time to listen. Want more practical health tips?

This week, Tee sits down with Leeah Smestad, a world traveler, conscious travel advisor, and founder of Newberry Travel. After visiting all seven continents and more than 50 countries, Leeah discovered something many travelers notice but rarely fully understand: chronic digestive issues, migraines, acne, and inflammation often improve dramatically when spending time abroad. What began as personal observations during a trip to Europe eventually became a deeper exploration into how food quality, environmental exposures, and lifestyle habits impact overall health. Leeah shares her personal journey with years of IBS symptoms, migraines, and acne, and how eating fresh baguettes in Paris while feeling symptom-free challenged everything she believed about her body. Together, Tee and Leeah explore the major differences between food systems in the United States and the European Union, including the use of chemical additives, pesticides, and food processing practices. They also discuss how local farmers' markets, whole foods, fermented foods, and lower toxic exposure can significantly support gut health, reduce inflammation, and improve skin and energy. Tee and Leeah also dive into the healing power of slowing down. From eating meals communally in Sri Lanka to using chopsticks in Japan, Leah explains how cultural habits naturally encourage more mindful eating and better digestion. She also shares practical wellness strategies such as traveling with a LifeStraw, sourcing food from local co-ops and farmers markets, and choosing accommodations that support local communities. This episode offers listeners an inspiring and practical look at how adopting global wellness habits can help create better health at home.

Part 3 of the Women's Health SeriesBloating, gas, urgency, abdominal pain, and that relentless “what if something happens?” loop can turn sex from a close connection into stress fast. Digestive symptoms can quietly impact some of the most vulnerable parts of our lives...including intimacy, relationships, and self-esteem. And often, the shame surrounding those experiences feels heavier than the symptoms themselves. If you've ever pulled away from connection because your gut felt unpredictable, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we're opening up an honest and empowering discussion about gut health, confidence, and reclaiming intimacy without fear or embarrassment.We dive into this topic with our expert guest, Dr. Alyse Bedell, GI psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, covering: • Why digestive functions feel taboo in sexual relationships • How IBS and IBD symptoms can impact desire, relaxation, and satisfaction • Myth-busting the idea that sex must be spontaneous to be pleasurable • Scripts and “reset” strategies for handling symptoms in the moment • Redefining intimacy so closeness does not always imply intercourse • Flexible planning around meals, energy, triggers, and symptom patterns • Partner support that reassures without becoming patronizing • The circular sexual response cycle and starting from sexual neutrality • Rebuilding sexual self-esteem with stigma work and acting with "as if” confidence This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx. References: Ballou S, McMahon C, Lee HN, et al.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this solo episode, I'm responding to the flood of questions that came in after a viral Instagram reel shared the story of my work with NBA player Michael Porter Jr. Michael's recovery is extraordinary, but this episode is not just about Michael. It's about the question his story awakens in so many people: How can someone have a very real diagnosis, very real imaging, very real pain, and still recover when they begin to understand the brain, the nervous system, and the mind-body connection? After three back surgeries, ongoing pain, and a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease, Michael reached out to me because he was willing to consider that there might be another explanation for what was happening in his body. That willingness changed everything. Today, I'm breaking down the larger teaching behind his story through the three legs of the stool in my work: believe, do the work, and patience and kindness for yourself. I explain why chronic pain is not “in your head,” but why the solution is not in the body, even when there are findings on an MRI, blood work, gut testing, or a scary diagnosis on paper. I talk about degenerative disc disease, back pain, migraines, IBS, autoimmune symptoms, long COVID, pelvic pain, inflammation, neuropathy, and the way the nervous system can keep us safe in the unsafest way. Most importantly, I want you to understand this: your pain is real, your symptoms are real, and your body is not broken. When you understand what sustained fight-or-flight is doing, when you learn how to lower the emotional reservoir through JournalSpeak, and when you begin treating yourself with real self-compassion, healing becomes possible in a way many people have never been told to consider.

Ben explains why symptoms like weight gain, acid reflux, fatigue, IBS, and autoimmune issues are not the actual problem — but rather warning signs from a body under stress. Together, Josh and Ben dive deep into the root causes of poor gut health and metabolic dysfunction, including processed foods, sugar dependence, environmental toxins, circadian rhythm disruption, chronic inflammation, and the growing impact of toxic food additives and seed oils. One of the most compelling parts of the episode focuses on mindset and identity. Ben explains how subconscious beliefs and self-image can sabotage healing progress, even when someone is following the "perfect" diet or protocol. The discussion bridges neuroscience, physiology, and behavior change in a way that's both actionable and deeply motivating.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Metabolic Health & Metabolic Freedom Root Causes of Chronic Disease & Symptoms Sugar Burning, Insulin Resistance & Diabetes Environmental Toxins & Modern Lifestyle Stressors Processed Foods & Seed Oils Debate Circadian Rhythm, Sleep & Mitochondrial Health Mindset, Identity & Self-Sabotage in Healing Gratitude, Stress Reduction & Nervous System Health Practical Lifestyle Changes for Better Health   More from Ben Azadi: Website: benazadi.com Instagram: @thebenazadi Facebook: Ben Azadi Youtube: @KetoKamp X: @THEBENAZADI Get Dr. Amie's Book: Metabolic Freedom   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
