On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared tackles a topic that affects nearly half of adults over 50 — diverticulosis and diverticulitis. What starts as small “colon pouches” can lead to serious inflammation and infection, yet conventional medicine often reaches for antibiotics, painkillers, or surgery instead of true healing. Jared explains how to naturally support the colon before problems arise, calm inflammation during a flare, and rebuild long-term gut health. You'll learn how specific natural compounds—like aloe vera, Boswellia, and spore-based probiotics—help cool and restore the intestinal lining. Jared also shares a comprehensive natural protocol featuring Back On Tract, Aloe, and soothing botanicals designed to bring lasting comfort and resilience to the gut. If you or someone you love struggles with digestive flare-ups or wants to prevent them, this episode offers practical, real-world steps to strengthen and protect your gut naturally.Products:Back on TractAloe Life Stomach Plus FormulaSolaray Peppermint Oil Capsules with Rosemary and Thyme OilBosMed Intestinal Bowel SupportVitality Nutrition Nano-SilverSolaray Oil of OreganoSolaray Slippery ElmSolaray Marshmallow RootMagnesium BisglycinateMagnesium CitrateYerba Prima Daily Fiber CapsRegulari-TLifeSeasons Leg Veins Tone‑R™ (Vitality Radio POW!

Reforming SNAP. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—formerly known as food stamps—is designed to address nutritional gaps for economically disadvantaged Americans. But critics argue that SNAP's lack of selectivity when it comes to ultra-processed foods stokes the current epidemic of obesity and metabolic disorders. Nutritionist Carolina Schneider, MS, RD, joins us to discuss an opportunity to reform SNAP. She makes the case for emphasizing fresh, minimally processed food as eligible for purchase under SNAP. Also, she urges inclusion of vitamin D under SNAP benefits because of the pervasiveness of vitamin D deficiency, especially among SNAP recipients. Check out a hub for citizen activism at www.All4VitaminD.org. In Part 2, we shift to consideration of plant-based diets: What are their advantages, and what are potential pitfalls? 

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Carolina Schneider, MS, RD.

Today we're embarking on a journey that feels deeply personal to me, one that bridges my childhood in New Delhi, India, with the cutting-edge science of human optimization.From ages four to eight, I lived in India, where I was first exposed to yoga, Ayurveda, and a way of seeing the body not as a machine, but as an intelligent, conscious system in constant dialogue with nature. Those early impressions planted seeds that have shaped my entire approach to health and human potential.Today, I'm honored to welcome someone who has spent over 40 years building bridges between that ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science, Dr. John Douillard. As a chiropractor, certified Ayurvedic practitioner, and founder of LifeSpa.com, Dr. John has worked alongside Deepak Chopra, trained medical doctors in Ayurvedic medicine, and served as Director of Player Development for the NBA's Brooklyn Nets, where he was the first in the West to apply Ayurvedic principles to elite athletic performance.He's the author of seven books, including the bestsellers Eat Wheat and Body, Mind, and Sport, and his work explores some of the most fascinating intersections I can imagine: quantum physics and consciousness, the gut-brain axis, seasonal microbiomes, and how practices like nose breathing can literally change our nervous system's relationship to stress.This conversation is going to stretch us, intellectually, spiritually, and practically. So wherever you are right now, take a deep breath through your nose, and let's dive in.Episode Highlights02:00 — Introduction: Ariane welcomes Dr. John Douillard and explores what drew him from sports medicine into the world of Ayurveda.04:00 — The turning point: how meditation transformed his athletic performance and life direction.06:00 — From Boulder to India: closing his practice to study Ayurveda, meeting Deepak Chopra, and bridging ancient wisdom with modern science.08:00 — Early resistance in Western medicine and the blind spots of reductionist science.11:00 — What Ayurveda truly is: the science and truth of life, harmony with circadian rhythms, and the body as an instrument for perceiving subtle energy.15:00 — Seasonal eating and microbial intelligence: how microbes in soil and food shift with the seasons and why our gut should too.19:00 — The two-way relationship between soil microbes and gut health.22:00 — The brain as a digestive organ: gut–brain lymphatic systems and why diaphragmatic breathing is key to mental clarity and immune health.26:00 — “Stop bubble-wrapping your diet”: why digestive resilience matters more than dietary purity.29:00 — Scientific studies on wheat, gut diversity, and hormesis: why exposure builds strength.32:00 — Lessons from Amish children and immunity: the hormetic power of natural exposure.34:00 — Emotional ama: how unprocessed emotions become toxicity in the body.35:00 — Ayurvedic psychology, rites of passage, and the art of giving without expectation.39:00 — Epigenetic effects of love and generosity; how kindness changes our biology.43:00 — Love, boundaries, and compassion: the difference between kindness and niceness.47:00 — Biophotons: light emissions from DNA and their role in coherence, intention, and healing.52:00 — Prayer as “technology”: coherence, intention, and quantum entanglement in healing.58:00 — Quantum healing, consciousness, and the bridge between field and physiology.01:03:00 — Placebo as real magic: consciousness reorganizing matter.01:06:00 — Microbiome evolution, altruism, and how love literally changes our biology.01:08:00 — Three daily non-negotiables: • Morning meditation or prayer for inner–outer silence • Diaphragmatic “flossing” to activate lymphatic detox and brain...

Struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or “food baby” bloat after meals has become so common it's considered “normal.”  In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN—Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research and a 25-year leader in functional medicine—to demystify SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You'll learn what SIBO is, why it keeps relapsing, and how a root-cause, functional approach can calm symptoms and restore, not just gut health, but overall vitality, for the long haul. They cover the classic SIBO symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation/diarrhea), how gut inflammation fuels brain inflammation (the gut–brain axis), and why quick fixes—like “nuking” the microbiome or leaning on a low-FODMAP diet—often miss the mark. Dr. Hill explains the body's three antimicrobial digestive secretions—stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile—plus motility and stress regulation, and how a phased strategy (reduce overgrowth → rebuild defenses → replete what SIBO depleted) can break the relapse cycle. They also discuss targeted probiotics (including Saccharomyces boulardii), when botanicals or antibiotics like rifaximin enter the picture, and why “just eating real, nutrient-dense food” and how you eat (meal spacing, slow, mindful chewing) can be as powerful as what you eat. Whether you've tried “everything” or you're just starting to connect the dots, this conversation gives you a practical roadmap to move beyond masking symptoms and start building foundations. What you'll learn SIBO 101: definition, symptoms, and why it's so common The gut–brain connection: how stress and inflammation impact motility & mood Why long-term low-FODMAP isn't a SIBO solution The role of acid, enzymes, and bile in controlling overgrowth Relapse prevention: phased protocols, motility support, and targeted probiotics Real-food nutrition, meal timing, and simple lifestyle upgrades that help Additional Resources: Ep 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Bristol Stool Chart   NOTE: While we generally avoid direct affiliation/sales/commissions of products mentioned on the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, we've decided to make these SIBO kits available for purchase.

E344: The Constipation Epidemic - Natural Solutions for Poop Problems (From Infants to Adults) | The Prime Podcast Are you or someone in your family struggling with constipation? It's far more common than you think, affecting over half the population – from newborns to seniors. Yet, it's often dismissed as "normal" or incorrectly labeled as "hereditary." In Episode 344 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss declare this a true constipation epidemic and dive deep into the real causes and natural solutions. This comprehensive discussion covers everything you need to know about achieving healthy bowel function. The doctors explore essential nutritional strategies, emphasizing the importance of magnesium, proper hydration, movement, and why choosing plant soluble fiber over common supplements like Metamucil (psyllium) is crucial for feeding your vital microbiome. They also discuss the temporary effects of stimulants like caffeine. Beyond diet and lifestyle, this episode highlights the critical, often-overlooked neurological connection to gut health. Learn how: Your nervous system is the master controller of your entire GI tract. The birth process can create misalignments impacting infant pelvic nerves and leading to early constipation. Digestion begins in the mouth, and issues like poor latch can affect the whole system. Introducing solids (especially bananas) before a baby gets their first tooth can disrupt the gut, contributing to leaky gut and future food sensitivities. Chronic GI conditions like Crohn's or IBS are NOT genetically predetermined (hereditary myth) but often stem from impaired neurological communication. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie explain what constitutes a healthy bowel movement (and why it should feel good!) versus signs of dysfunction like hemorrhoids or pain. Discover practical tips like the corn/beet test for transit time and understand why addressing the neurological root cause through chiropractic care is key to resolving constipation for good. Trending Terms Explained: Constipation: Difficulty or infrequency in passing stools. Discussed as a widespread epidemic, not a normal state. Plant Soluble Fiber: Fiber from plant sources (vegetables, fruits) that feeds the microbiome, essential for gut health. Contrasted with psyllium husk (Metamucil). Microbiome: The community of bacteria in the GI tract influencing digestion, immunity, and brain function – your "second brain." Leaky Gut: Increased intestinal permeability, allowing particles into the bloodstream, potentially caused by introducing solids too early. Nervous System Control: The brain and nerves regulate all digestive processes; interference (subluxation) can cause constipation or diarrhea. Birth Process Trauma: Physical stress during birth potentially causing misalignments that affect nerves controlling infant bowel function. Hereditary (Myth): Debunking the idea that constipation or diseases like Crohn's are genetic, highlighting neurological response patterns instead. Key Takeaways: Constipation is common but NOT normal or hereditary. Aim for 1-2 comfortable bowel movements daily. Focus on hydration, movement, magnesium, and PLANT SOLUBLE fiber. Your nervous system dictates gut function – address the root cause. Birth trauma is a major factor in infant constipation. Wait for the first tooth before introducing solids to prevent leaky gut. Chiropractic care is vital for optimizing the nervous system control of the GI tract. CALL TO ACTION: Stop normalizing constipation! If you or your child are struggling, seek answers that address the root cause. A pediatric or family chiropractor focused on the nervous system can be a key part of your health team.
