Podcasts about miralax

On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, I discuss Miralax (polyethylene glycol) pharmacology, adverse effects, and much more. MiraLAX is an osmotic laxative commonly used to treat occasional constipation by retaining water in the stool to increase stool frequency and soften consistency. The standard adult dose of MiraLAX is 17 grams (approximately one heaping tablespoon) dissolved in 4 to 8 ounces of liquid once daily. Electrolyte imbalances are rare but possible with prolonged or excessive use of Miralax, particularly in elderly or renal-impaired patients. Advise patients to maintain adequate hydration while using MiraLAX to support its mechanism and reduce side effects.

Welcome Ginny Noce, the Women's Health RN with a masters in nutrition science & functional medicine, to The Hormone Genius Podcast. In Ginny's own words from a blog she wrote below, here is why Ginny became passionate about helping women balance their hormones! If her story speaks to you then you will NOT want to miss this episode. Ginny is a genius, really. She has an incredible amount of practical wisdom to share and free information that you can start implementing in your health journey today. It all started with a desire to: – Lose a little weight – Clear up my skin – Have regular bowel movements Back in high school, I was breaking out regularly, trying to lose ten pounds, and relying on laxatives just to go to the bathroom. That's what led me down the rabbit hole of conventional medicine, where I experienced things like: -Appointments with a gastroenterologist who told me to eat more Cheerios and take Miralax daily – Being prescribed birth control by my PCP for acne – Eating 1,200 calories a day and running 1–2 miles daily to drop weight And honestly, those things kind of worked. Yes, I lost weight—but my digestive issues got worse. My skin was only clear as long as I stayed on the pill. And overall, I just felt awful. So I stopped birth control cold turkey. That's when everything fell apart. My face broke out into full-blown, inflamed cystic acne. My cycles never regulated themselves. And I was still dependent on Miralax just to go to the bathroom. After two more years of struggling, I was finally diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and given three options: – Go back on birth control – Start spironolactone – Try a keto diet I was overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn't want to go back on medication, and I certainly didn't want to keep treating symptoms without getting to the root. I thought to myself, There has to be a better way. And it turns out—there was. That's when I discovered food as medicine. I won't get into every diet or supplement I experimented with, but from the start, I focused on real, whole foods. Slowly but surely, my symptoms began to improve. That progress ignited my deep, burning passion for nutrition and women's health. Some major turning points from there: – Reading Dr. Jolene Brighten's Beyond the Pill Learning about cycle charting through FEMM—and eventually working for them as the lead nurse in their endocrinology and fertility telehealth clinic, where I also became a certified Fertility Awareness Instructor. Diving deeper into functional medicine and root cause approaches, which led me to earn my Master's Degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition from the University of Western States After years of struggling and researching endlessly, I can now say: – My skin is 99% clear, with only the occasional breakout – My digestion is solid—I haven't dealt with constipation or bloating in over two years – My cycles are regulated, my PCOS is in remission, and I was able to conceive naturally—twice (I now have 2 girls ages 4 & 1.5) Link to where you can find guides & applications to work with my team. https://www.instagram.com/thewomenshealthrn/ Get a ton of Ginny's Freebie Hormonal Health Guides here! https://thewomenshealthrn.myflodesk.com/freebie ✨MASTERING YOUR HORMONAL HEALTH

Get Season Two of Pillow Talk HERE: https://pillowtalkpod.com"Who let me talk on television!?" ponders Christi. Though now with a whole new Elite Team of moms she certainly won't have to worry about saying the worst possible thing this week! Yes Abby has finally assembled her Junior Elite Team including: Sarah Hunt and mom Christy, Ava Cota and mom Jeanette, Jade Cloud and mom Loree, Sarah Reasons and mom Tracey, Tealynn (Tea) Adamson and mom Tami, and Kamryn Beck and mom Jodi. Joining them will be Maddie, because Abby is determined for the new team to dominate and Maddie can't lose.Tensions flare up quickly, though in an unlikely turn of events it's Kalani who comes out against the moms. As it turns out she has some history with Tracy and Sarah, referring to them as Arizona trash. Before things get too out of hand, Abby begins to pair off the new girls with the OG girls. This way each division gets two ALDC competitors and she can force the girls to compete against one another. The pairs are Chloe/Kamryn, Ava/Kendall, Nia/Sarah R, Tea+Sarah H/Mackenzie, and Kalani/Jade.With a competition in Ohio just around the corner it's time to get all the numbers in shape. But will the new moms manage to get along while the girls are hard at work? Well if you're Christy (with a Y) you can always call on the Lord to rebuke those moms you don't get along with. As Holly points out, Abby's perfect team is already not quite working.Quotes“Are you drinking anything interesting? Tea with MiraLAX in it... because I'm supposed to go to the bathroom. That's my cocktail for the day! How far we have fallen Kell." (13:03-13:20 | Christi & Kelly)“Absolutely, she wanted to get rid of our girls. But I think she would have rather just replaced them than have a second team.” (20:51-20:056 | Christi)“If she has that bad of posture and she needs to be in a back brace, why did you pick her for the select team?" (50:16-50:22 | Kelly)“This is what I don't like when they bring new people in. Everybody is trying really hard to like start controversy. And there's no substance to it."

I took my son to every kind of healthcare professional. Over a two-and-a-half-year period, we spent over $20,000 trying to figure out what was causing his symptoms and how to heal his body. We tried every herbal remedy. We went to an Ayurvedic doctor. We went to a functional medicine doctor. We did a six-month tele-health program with a nutritionist. We did allergy testing. We tried every elimination diet. I know many of you are on this same journey. You have tried what feels like everything. On top of already being really mindful. And maybe you are like me and have been given really terrible advice. Maybe against your intuition and deep heart desires you gave up breastfeeding because professionals said that would heal your child. Maybe you have tried steroid creams or taken MiraLAX. Maybe you have tried every herb and supplement. And you are still unwell.Chronic bloating, persistent digestive discomfort, unexplained fatigue, skin issues such as eczema or acne, frequent headaches, mood swings, immune system imbalances, and recurring infections. Hormone imbalances, sour smelling poop, chronic diarrhea or constipation, food sensitivities, allergies, joint pain, brain fog, and depression or anxiety.Today, we are going to talk about why all the remedies I tried—and that you have likely tried—don't work. Why discontinuing breastfeeding is never the answer, why medications like steroids, antibiotics, and MiraLAX are not the answer, and how they actually cause more harm than healing. Why healthy eating alone isn't enough and why you need very specific supplements to heal.If you're ready to uncover the underlying causes and embark on a journey toward true healing, this episode is for you.Links from the episode:Explore the Children's Gut Rebalance KitExplore the Women's Gut Rebalance KitExplore the Maintenance BundleExplore Balance CBDThanks for listening!

This episode is for parents looking for alternative solutions to common childhood ailments like constipation, eczema, chronic ear infections, allergies, ADHD and more. Prescription and over the counter medications are routinely prescribed for these conditions, but this is a “band-aid” approach and doesn't get to the root cause. Our guest is Jessica Pawlicki, a board-certified nurse practitioner credentialed through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She is trained in functional medicine and an active member of the American Holistic Nurses Association. She is the owner of Well-Rooted Pediatrics and her passion is empowering parents to find their voice while finding the root cause of their child's symptoms.  We learn: Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications are a band-aid approach to childhood ailments, often have side effects and do not address the root cause Parent-led care empowers parents to make informed decisions about their children's health and treatment options Alternative solutions for constipation (why you may not want to use Miralax long-term!)  Causes of chronic ear infections (getting to the root cause and avoiding tubes!) The link between eczema and gut health Possible root causes of ADHD and solutions to improve symptoms Natural solutions for teething and fevers  Solutions for environmental allergies (other than OTC meds) and why long-term use of Flonase isn't safe Why waiting to feed babies solids until 6 months is preferred and when to introduce grains for optimal gut health Connect with Jessica: https://www.instagram.com/wellrootedpediatrics/ https://wellrootedpediatrics.com/ Thank you for listening to our show.

There tends to be two types of poopers. People who are more prone to constipation and those who are more prone to diarrhea. Contrary to what your doctor will mostly likely tell you though, the answer isn't a laxative like Miralax or a fiber supplement. These are bandaids that don't heal your body. Your body isn't constipated because it needs a laxative. The body gets constipated when something is off inside.Your poop is a direct reflection of your internal health and if you, your child or someone you know suffers from constipation this episode is for your.

Dr. Steve Hodges joins the show today to share his unique work as a urologist studying childhood bedwetting and its link to constipation. We talk about the causes of childhood constipation and its link to bedwetting in kids, why so many kids are constipated without knowing it, how to tell if your child is constipated, when is "too old" for normal bedwetting and so much more. My favorite question was a hot take on asking Dr. Hodges about his views on Miralax and experiences with kids who have negative reactions. We even discuss why we designed our Raise Them Well Mag Go to help give kids an alternative to Miralax. If your child struggles with bed wetting, this is a must listen episode. Dr. Hodges is a Professor of Pediatric Urology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, is a leading authority on childhood toileting issues. He is dedicated to debunking common myths surrounding enuresis (bedtime and daytime wetting) and encopresis (poop accidents), emphasizing that these issues are never a child's fault. Dr. Hodges, residing in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with his family, has authored eight books for both parents and children, such as "The M.O.P. Anthology" and "Bedwetting and Accidents Aren't Your Fault." He shares valuable insights through his blog at BedwettingAndAccidents.com. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healthydiscourse/support

Run thru a checklist with me and ask yourself how many of these speak to you. Any or all of these items can increase the chance that you're constipated.Looking at constipation from the nutrition perspective Gayle, typically when do you start to increase the consumption of higher fiber vegetables, beans and lentils and do you have favorites to help prevent constipation? Isabel, talk about the goal for fiber and what's realistic. Plus secrets to help meet that fiber goal too.Gayle, what about adding fiber supplements or a laxative when you feel block up? I'm not a big fan for rushing into this, are you?Tip: start by adding high fiber foods slowly to avoid gas and bloating. As you add foods with fiber, increase your fluids…they are team mates. Spread fiber sources throughout the day versus loading up at one meal.Gayle, is your protocol similar? Do you use a stool softener like Colace or a gentle laxative like Miralax?

NOT A LAXATIVE AD. However I am not opposed to Miralax giving me a little sponsorship. In this episode I talk about my blocked sacral chakra and what that really means. How it has affected my everyday life and what I am doing to UNBLOCK this chakra.

Welcome to Episode 149 of Autism Parenting Secrets. This episode focuses on the potential dangers of Polyethene Glycol (PEG).  It's everywhere and it's the main ingredient in the most widespread over-the-counter treatment for constipation.  Off-label use of this drug is rampant and parents need to better understand their options for helping their child.The secret this week is … Say NO To PEGYou'll Discover:What is PEG (1:48)What The Miralax Label Says And How It Works (5:45)How PEG Impacts The Microbiome (10:18)The Link Between Butyrate, Dysbiosis & Seizures (12:47)Concerns Raised By The FDA & New York Times (18:53)An Effective Simple Protocol For One Family (22:40)Effective, Natural Options For Constipation (33:51)What To Watch Out For In Laundry Detergent (36:33)Another Chemical To Watch Out (40:33)How Needed Studies Are Bypassed or Stalled (44:46)About Our Guest:Mike Koehler is a leader and active member of Parents Against Miralax. In 2010, his then 4-year-old son was treated for constipation and placed on the over-the-counter laxative, Miralax. Over the five years that followed, his doctors would recommend that he remain on Miralax to treat his constipation. In 2014 his son was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and started exhibiting PANDAS-like symptoms. His behavior was out of control, and their family was in a dark place, desperate for help. In February 2015, he joined the Facebook group Parents Against Miralax. It was there that he learned about naturopathic medicine. Mike and his wife found a naturopath in April 2015, and by May 2015, his son was on the path to better health and healing. Thankfully today, Mike's son is doing really well. Mike has now made it his mission to warn other parents of the very real dangers of Polyethene Glycol.References in The Episode:Parents Against Miralax Facebook GroupNomorepeg.comAdditional Resources:Take The Quiz: What's YOUR Top Autism Parenting Blindspot?To learn more about Cass & Len, visit us at www.autismparentingsecrets.comBe sure to follow Cass & Len on InstagramIf you enjoyed this episode, share it with your friends.

I have another special treat for you. You're going to hear an interview that I did on Instagram Live with Dr. Liza Aguiar. Liza is a pediatric urologist and when we asked you to submit questions for her, you sent us hundreds. In this conversation, we were able to dive deep into some of your questions about circumcisions, daytime potty training, nighttime potty training and bedwetting, and her real thoughts about Miralax. I hope you enjoy! Want more on pregnancy and parenting? Subscribe to the ParentData newsletter for free at ParentData.org.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, thank you for all you do and for your amazing podcasts, you are a wealth of knowledge and I trust your word before anyone else!! My question is about sodium. I get really dry skin mostly on my face when I have a very small amount of salt. Is this a gut issue like candida or yeast overgrowth, why would this be happening so much later in life? I'm a male, 43 years of age and I'm in pretty good health overall. I never had an issue with salt when I was younger, but now my nose, cheeks and sometimes hands get really really dry. I predominantly have salt only on the weekends, and whether its celtic or himalayan and maybe a cheat meal from a restaurant, it just seems to overloaded my body. I always keep up with my water throughout the day so I am hydrated as well. Any help with this is greatly appreciated, keep up the fantastic work!!!   Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral thank you for all you do and for putting out these podcasts daily. They're highly informative and I'm learning new things everyday!! My question is about bcaa's. I know you've talked about them before but I was just wondering if when working out or lifting weights, a person can have 3-5 grams in water during the session to keep the body anabolic and not tap into muscle as a fuel source? Ive heard that the leucine in bcaa's, if your having it every 3-4 hours throughout the day (especially if your not having any fish or meat with your meal) will basically flip an internal switch to keep you in a anabolic state so you don't slip into catabolism and you can keep building muscle. I know we are supposed to have half our body weight in protein a day, so would this go against that and up your protein intake too much? Thank you again for all you do!   Kelsey: I'm wondering the best approach to managing weight gain and inflammation and overall feeling better while taking an aromatase inhibitor.   Luciana: Dr. Cabral, I have a severe case of keloid scars. I have done multiple surgeries to remove them, but it keeps coming back. My last surgery was 2 years ago to remove two very large scars from my back and shoulder. After the surgery we followed up with radiation, compression, and steroid shots. I've been battling this since I was in 4th grade and have tried everything modern medicine has to offer. Yesterday I went to my doctor to get more steroid shots and he said I can't get them anymore because the skin is too thin. The scar is getting wider because of the tension in the shoulder. I've asked Naturopathic doctors before, but they didn't know how to help me. I've been following your work for the last few months and I'm getting ready to start the 21 day detox this weekend. Modern medicine claims that keloid scars are genetic, even though I'm the only one in my family who has it. I've always asked why I've only start developing them after age 10. Have you threated any patients with the same condition? What would your recommendation be? Should I setup an online consultation with you so we can further discuss the matter? Thank you for your time, Luciana   Alexis: Hello Dr Cabral, I'm in IHP2 and grateful for all you do. I was on the mend from Covid and 2 days later I woke with full body severe nerve pain. Then full body numbness & no longer able to walk. Diagnosed as Transverse Myelitis and positive for HHV6 and MOG. As a child I had JRA and EBV (then was fine!) and later had issues arise as an adult like: shingles, rashes, vertigo, food sensitivities. I worked with someone to get rid of Cdiff and Giardia. I've sealed and healed my gut a ton. But I must still have a higher viral load and/or other remaining issues, and this current virus attacked my nerves? What is the root?! I believe I can heal and I will! Any guidance on steps… greatly appreciated in this time of need, thank you   Tonya: Hello. My son has encopresis. He was diagnosed when he was 3 and now he is 10. For years the doctors said Miralax was the answer. Last year I decided enough was enough and quit the miralax. I hired a nutritionist and we did a food sensitivities test. Turns out he is allergic to dairy, gluten, soy, egg whites, peanuts, & tilapia. I searched your podcasts and found 1 other where you also suggested other testing so next we will do the stool test and so on. However, Ive also heard you mention a 5 day intestinal cleanse. And I was wondering if we could do this? Would this also work as a "Miralax"? Currently we are doing aloe vera juice and magnesium as well as a major diet change (that has been going great)!

She was on thyroid, ADHD, and migraine medication all at the same time. She was overweight, AND she had to take Miralax to go to the bathroom. She was the healthiest eater she knew, but she was exhausted, on a bunch of meds, and felt horrible.Her doctors didn't have the answers. She didn't have the tools to heal herself. BUT she was sick of constantly feeling “off.” She was ready for change. So, Bridgitte immersed herself in years of functional medicine training and surrounded herself with the leaders in the field. After working with hundreds of clients, she definitely knows the answers to how to live an amazingly healthy life.

“My passion has always been prevention,” says holistic pediatrician Dr. Ana Maria Temple. All three of her children suffered from a series of ailments, for which medicines weren't helping. Once she eliminated sugar from their diets, their ailments quickly cleared up and she realized the importance of holistic healing. A major component of this, which she discusses at length in her book “The Holistic Baby Manual,” is diet. Quick guidelines like “If you can't read it, don't eat it,” and “if there are more than five ingredients, put it back” will help parents navigate the sometimes daunting business of food selection. So many ailments lead back to the gut. Other considerations include environmental factors like stress management, and a healthy family dynamic.    Another major component of the holistic approach is allowing the body to use its natural defenses to heal itself. Doctors, she says, have led us to be afraid of fevers and ear infections, rather than seeing them as nature's natural course. She explains how to navigate these symptoms with natural rememdies rather than immediately introduce unnecessary medications that can lead to bigger problems in the long run.    Dr. Ana Maria includes much of her useful advice in her book “The Holistic Baby Manual.”    Join the discussion to hear Sasha and Dr. Ana Maria discuss the topic of immunizations, the shocking number of chemicals still allowed in our food, and the panacea that is breast milk.   Quotes • “It is never the one thing. The human body and the human environment is very complex, it's like a giant puzzle, and you need all the pieces to figure it out. When we hyperfocus on the one thing we miss the big picture.” (17:54-18:09 | Dr. Ana Maria) • “The parental mindset is that whatever we feed our children is going to manifest in their wellness.” (23:51-23:57 | Dr. Ana Maria)  • “Children don't listen to what we say. They watch everything we do.”(28:28-28:32 | Dr. Anna Maria) • “We are not living longer. We are dying longer.” (30:13-30:15 | Dr. Ana Maria) • “The body keeps count of all the things that we do that are not good for it.”(31:59-32:03 | Dr. Ana Maria) • “So it is putting in the effort now, so we don't have to deal with chronic disease later. Prevention is so much cheaper and it's so much easier to do than reversing chronic disease.”(51:44-51:58 | Dr. Ana Maria) Stats • “Baby yogurt carries 10 grams of added sugar.” (26:03-26:08 | Dr. Ana Maria)  • “All these food colorings, they've never been tested in children before they were put into food. They were then given grandfather clause, so there are over 10,000 food chemicals that were grandfathered in.”(28:46-29:01 | Dr. Ana Maria) • “One of the popular misconceptions out there is that it's ok for nursed babies to poop once every seven days, when in fact that's not ok.” (35:02-35:12 | Dr. Ana Maria) • “Miralax is not our friend. Miralax is FDA approved for children 17 years and older, however it's prescribed to children as young as 18 months.”(36:15-36:26 | Dr. Ana Maria)    -NOTABLE INFORMATION/LINKS-   *Other Episodes Mentioned on The Momologist™: Season 1, Episode 15: Elderberry Health Benefits for Families with Stephanie Rickenbaker    —Connect with Dr. Ana Maria Temple—   The Holistic Baby Manual: https://www.integrativehealthcourses.com/courses/the-holistic-baby-manual-a-parent-s-guide   Website: https://www.dranamaria.com   Other Resources Offered By Dr. Temple: A Holistic Guide For Parents  https://www.integrativehealthcourses.com/courses/ihc-pediatrics-manual   Lunch and Breakfast eBooks https://www.integrativehealthcourses.com/bundles/lunch-breakfast-guide   Eczema Transformation Course https://ana579a94.clickfunnels.com/sales-page1612377953863   Dr. Temple's Book: Healthy Kids In An Unhealthy World: Practical Parenting Tips for Picky Eating, Toxin Reduction and Stronger Immune Systems   IG: @dranamariatemple YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChlrBGRcBXhz0Tqm2gDm3NQ TikTok - @dranamaria   Book Recommendations By Dr. Temple: Slay like a Mother by Katherine Wintsch You are a Badass by Jen Sincero   Subscribe to our Mailing List: www.TheOfficialMomologist.com   Connect with The Momologist™: https://www.instagram.com/theofficialmomologist/ https://www.facebook.com/TheOfficialMomologist   ------   The Momologist™ is a production of The Reel Media Group.

On today's episode, Brittyn is discussing Miralax and constipation, which is a really common topic in autism. Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal issues in children on the autism spectrum, and studies show that GI issues are directly linked to increased problem behaviors and anxiety! It's really important that you make sure your kids are having healthy bowel movements and not only for behaviors but there are many other nutritional reasons!

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple is a Holistic Pediatrician, best selling author, mother of 3 and has had over 100 TV News and Podcast appearances. She does NOT hold back when critically evaluating the current healthcare model. Brace yourself for some cognitive dissonance!! Her passion is to inspire, educate and empower you to revamp your families health and prevent children from developing chronic disease.    Topics Discussed:   Tell us how you came to become a Holistic Pediatrician?  Your mission is to empower and educate families to raise their kids with less medication. Let's talk about why there's such a need for that.  Peg - yay or nay? We recently did an interview with another Pediatrician about constipation. The biggest advice was to take PEG (basically a stool softener) on an ongoing basis - the brand name for Miralax or Restoralax in Canada. You have a very different perspective on treatment. Let's dive into that!  What are some of the issues you see in our healthcare system model. What needs to change? What do you wish more people knew?  Have you ever come under fire for your views and philosophy about medical care?  Tell us more about eczema, gut health and their root causes.

Do you believe that taking laxatives on a regular basis is a good thing to do? Some of the laxatives like Miralax, Dilcolax, ... have a side effects that you should know about.

My passion is to help people thrive in all aspects of life and live in whole health. The health and wellness industry talk a lot about exercising and restricting foods in order to lose weight, but there are some other key components to being healthy.    In this episode, I was a guest on my close friend's podcast, the Shine With Frannie Show, and we get very real to discuss some topics that most people are very embarrassed about but have issues with: digestion, bowel movements and emotional/mental pain. We are a three part being: spirit, soul and body. We have to address each of these areas if we want to experience Life the way God intends for us!   Frannie shares some of her weight loss journey, but specifically how after she lost her first 70lbs, her weight plateaued and as a result, she stopped having regular bowel movements. When the doctor told her that she would "just have to learn to adjust" to being severely constipated, she began trying everything she could find to change her dilemma: Metamucil, Miralax, psyllium husk, cleanses, detoxes, colonics and enemas, but nothing worked. However, over the years and most recently in the last two years, she learned that there are other key contributing factors to her lack of regularity. Her soul needed to release toxins she was impacted with.   I share my own health journey of overcoming PCOS and IBS and my journey to wholeness from the inside out. My soul was sick with bitterness, anger, unforgiveness…toxins the negatively affected my physical body and digestion. As I learned to "release” the "weight" I was carrying I experienced healing in my body.   Yet, we didn't really see breakthrough in our bathroom issues until we started restoring and rebalancing our gut health with special formulated plant-based supplements. It's been another key to living in whole health!  You might have heard it say, “You are only as healthy as your gut is healthy.”  We are living proof!   We pray this blesses you and helps you find freedom (and regularity, too!)

After I lost the first 70lbs., my weight plateaued and as a result, I stopped having regular bowel movements. When the doctor told me that I would "just have to learn to adjust" to pooping only 2-3x a week, (yep, a week!) I began trying everything under the sun--Metamucil, Miralax, psyllium husk, cleanses, detoxes, even colonics and enemas. But over the years and most recently in the last 2ish years, I've learned that there are other key contributing factors to my lack of regularity. In today's episode, I talk with my sweet sister Lori Snyder about the soul component to natural bowel movements and the importance of "releasing" the "weight" that we carry that junk up our pipes. Also, Lori shares her personal journey of overcoming PCOS and IBS and her journey to wholeness from the inside out. Finally, Lori and I share about the natural supplements that we began using over the last few months that have helped restore and balance our gut health and keep us movin' & groovin'.

Child Constipation [9:36] Katie says: Hi Robb and Nikki! As always, thank you for all you do. My 7 year old daughter started complaining of stomach pain a few months ago. She's always been a good eater and has been gluten free since age 3 (not celiac, but noticed many health benefits for the whole family from cutting it out), eats minimal amounts of processed garbage and her diet is full of high quality protein, healthy fats and real, whole food. Her stomach pain increased in both severity and frequency over the summer. We cut back on dairy, with moderate success. We had blood tests done—all normal with no apparent food sensitivities or any other blood marker abnormalities. Finally her doctor did imaging that showed significant constipation. I have tended towards constipation my whole life, and my mom has IBS-C, so there's definitely some familial tendencies. Her pediatrician suggested miralax to get things going, which we have been doing for the past several days, and she's certainly pooping now, but still has daily tummy aches. Her pediatrician said daily miralax wouldn't become habit forming and was perfectly safe for long term use, but this obviously doesn't seem like the ideal answer. Do you have any suggestions on what I should try to bring her some relief, both in the short term but also for her digestive system as a whole? Why would a 7 year old who eats a healthy diet develop such severe constipation? How concerned should I be about using something like Miralax and are there better alternatives for keeping things moving? All my best, Katie 2. Anaerobic Ketolysis? [14:57] Howdy, Wolfs! Question... From what I understand, the body can only metabolize fatty acids aerobically, but it can metabolize glucose both aerobically and anaerobically. What about ketone bodies? Can the body anaerobically metabolize ketone bodies? I've scoured the internet periodically for probably a couple of years looking for a definitive answer to this nagging question, but I always come up empty handed. I have no functional reason to ask this question - I'm just a nerdy personal trainer with a penchant for delving deep and an evolutionary biology/ancestral health bent. 3. Fasting and Fast Twitch Muscle [16:37] Bonni says: From https://body.io/intermittent-fasting-part-3-go-eat-yourself/ "macroautophagy is transient in nearly all tissues except fast twitch muscle[7, 11] ..... Prolonged fasting triggers autophagy to deteriorate muscle tissue faster than severing the nerve to the muscle[29, 30]. .....  The only thing IF does for autophagy is to drive it into destructive ranges for fast-twitch muscle." This is from an old post and the references don't work anymore - do you have any info to back up or refute the fasting /fast-twitch muscle claim? Would eating fat prohibit the muscle catabolism or would protein be needed?  thanks! 4. Finasteride for baldness? [22:43] Steven says: Hi Robb and Nikki, I recently visited the doctor for a checkup and she noticed that my hair is starting to thin up top. Sad day :( She recommended that I get on a medication called Finasteride, and said that if I start taking it now I can likely preserve my luscious locks. I did some digging online, and the testimonials I have found regarding side effects scare the bejesus out of me. Do you have any thoughts on this medication? And do you have any recommendations on the diet/lifestyle side of things to help keep my hair? For context, I am a 32-year-old male athlete (rock climber), and in excellent health. I follow a mostly paleo diet, with a few exceptions here and there. I eat plenty of protein (1 g per lb bodyweight) mostly from grass-fed beef, about 200-300 g of carbs per day to fuel my training and climbing, and plan to start taking more collagen supplements to support tendons, skin, and hopefully hair. Any thoughts are welcome! I love the podcast, and what you have done with the Healthy Rebellion. Thank you for all that you do. 5. Which animal is best, re: bone broth [28:59] Sarah says: Hey team! LOVE the podcast and all of the work that you do. I recently moved abroad and suddenly have access to many high-quality, inexpensive animal bones. I've been making beef bone broth in the instant pot (GAME CHANGER) and it's delish! I usually break my fasts with a cup, and I've saved the fat for cooking. I accidentally bought lamb bones once, and turns out they made amazing bone broth too. So now I wonder- is bone broth ACTUALLY THAT good for me? Which animal is best? Beef, lamb, chicken, camel (no joke!)? Any suggestions on finding literature on animal nutrient contents?       Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Welcome to Constipation 101!

On this episode of #Influencer, Sherry is joined by the dynamic, senior brand marketing leader in the healthcare industry and one of our brand partners, Dave Goodman, who’s known for his work with Bayer Consumer Care managing brands such as Aleve, Alka-Seltzer, Miralax and Bayer Aspirin. Currently, Dave is managing Kerasal’s brand portfolio on behalf of Advantice Health.  Kerasal is an emerging, fast-growing foot care brand that has a variety of solutions to hydrate, repair, and protect your feet and help tackle common foot problems like dry and cracked heels, calluses, and nail fungus.  Through his vast healthcare experience, Dave’s success stems from his ability to develop high-impact strategies and innovations for brands as well as securing transformative mergers and acquisitions. You have spent your career as a Brand Manager focused on healthcare products. What drew you to this space?Yeah. You know, that’s it, it’s a great question. About 20 years ago, I was at a little bit of a inflection in my career and I had actually popped out of brand management for a couple of years and I was about to get back in and I actually was down in Atlanta and I had a unique opportunity where I was choosing between two different roles. One was in the healthcare space with Novartis consumer care, and the other one was for a company down in Atlanta that makes some really sweet bubbling drinks. And I thought to myself, why would I rather work on brands that help people and facilitate healthy lifestyles? Or would I rather not work in perhaps what might seem like a sexier waiting area of carbonated beverages and more recognized brands, but I said, you know what, let me, let me go in the healthcare space because that’s clearly going to be around for a long time and just, you know, not to sound corny or cheesy, but the, the idea of helping people improve their lives was, was it, you know, It’s amazing.  You’ve been with Kerasal for close to 3 years. What did the brand look like when you first joined compared to where it is at today? Yes. So it’s a really interesting brand. So carousel is in the foot care space and it, at the time it had two primary areas where it offered consumer products. One was for a post-op ring from nail fungus, and the other one was more for dry cracked feet. And they were nice little businesses, but one of the things that inspired me was the opportunity to try and take them to the next level. And they seemed a little bit under marketed as me. And I felt like if we got more marketing muscle and investment behind them, as well as innovated, I thought we could take it to the next level. And, and now we close to doubled over the past two and a half years. Through increasing our efforts, both in TV and traditional marketing vehicles like TV, but then also working with, with folks like yourself, the digital and social space. And then on top of that, we’ve also launched a really exciting new products that are extending the carousel brand name into other areas of foot care, such as what washes, what soaps. But masks. So really catering to consumers, desire for care. And it’s been really exciting because just over the past year or so, as much as the pandemic has been such a tremendous drain on a lot of businesses and vibes from a category perspective. But care has really and self care has really taken off as people have had more time to engage in, in taking care of themselves, but also because a lot of traditional means salons and pedicures and things like that. Haven’t been quite as, quite as accessible. So it’s been kind of an interesting intersection of. Of opportunity and growth to make the brain into an even higher level.  So you’re saying that a lot of this growth in the past year at least is just because people are at home because they’re not going to the nail salon. So they’re doing all their, as you call it, or as we came up with on one of our calls, “Sole” care at home. Yeah, I...

For more information on this topic or to schedule a consultation please visit us at http://WhatIsHashimotos.com Who's not stressed today, right? It's a funny thing, people get that they're stressed and, they get that it creates a physiological response in them, and then it makes them want to choke people, and kill people, and do stuff like that. But they're also, you know, it's like my heart's beating and I'm huffing and puffing and I have no energy, but there's not a connection. A lot of times with the fact that the stress is either triggering, causing or perpetuating their conditions. Not only is there not an exception for that with Hashimoto's thyroiditis or just Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, stress is probably the first thing I look at when a person walks in here and I do do functional neurology. I am involved in that and functional neurology. One of the big aspects of it is to assess people's stress responses and how it affects their entire physiology. For those of you who've watched us, and maybe you've seen our back to basics, we kind of have an idea as to how to attack auto-immunity and there's an organization to it. You've probably heard me talk about hierarchy, probably tired of hearing me talk about hierarchy in order and how you attack things. Stress is right at the top, like literally right at the top. It's like the three first things I look at, the five first things I look at is stress, sleep, relationships, blood sugar, and oxygen. I mean, I don't even go anywhere else until I look at those. It's because if you're deficient on all of that, I can't help you with your relationships. If you have a bad relationship with your husband, or your wife, or your boss, or your workers, or coworkers or wherever, and it's ongoing, that's something that has to be kind of handled before we get into the whole involvement and getting in, finding out all your triggers. That's like the biggest trigger that there is because it causes stress. Stress is number one, so it's stress, sleep and relationship, stress, relationships, sleep. They need to be addressed. Why? Because stress, when you go into stress, it alters your entire physiology. There's not that many things that affect every single one of the trillions of cells in you. Stress happens to be one of them and thyroid happens to be another one of them. Stress will trigger, basically what stress does, is it shuts down your whole gut system and it shuts down your bladder, your urinary bladder. Stress creates an issue where your stomach's not working. How many people do not know that stress causes ulcers? Well, long before you got ulcers, that's altered physiology in your stomach so that you're not digesting food, you're not sterilizing food, your bowels aren't moving. Stress is probably the number one cause of constipation in this country. For all of you who are taking MiraLAX, for all of you who are buying stock in smooth move tea and magnesium supplements and all that, look and see if you're stressed. Stress is the number one cause of that, stress shuts down your intestines, your intestines can't work. Now it's off to the races. You can get, without getting into it, you can get small intestinal bacteria overgrowth, you can get constipation, imbalance in bacteria, you name it. It'll cause your candida to flare up. http://powerhealthtalk.com Martin P.

Despite what your doctors may tell you, having chronic gut symptoms is not normal. There are numerous explanations for gut issues, but you can’t address them without information. Today’s guest has some great advice for how to go about this so that you don’t need to accept your pain as normality.   About Bridgitte Carroll, RD Although Bridgitte felt like absolute crap and knew her health was off, doctors still commended her on how healthy she was. She was on thyroid, ADHD, and migraine medication all at the same time. She was overweight and had to take Miralax to go to the bathroom. She was the healthiest eater she knew but she was exhausted, on a bunch of meds, and felt horrible. Her doctors didn’t have the answers. She didn’t have the tools to heal herself. But she was sick of constantly feeling “off”, and she was ready for a change. That led Bridgitte to immerse herself in years of functional medicine training while surrounding herself with the leaders in the field. After working with hundreds of clients, she now has answers about how to heal your gut and how to live an amazingly healthy life.   Getting the Right Information to Heal The cornerstone of Bridgitte’s approach centers on teaching her patients that they deserve to feel well. With a functional medicine approach, we are able to take control of our own health and find the answers we seek. When presented with a dead-end diagnosis, Bridgitte goes on a fact-finding mission. Tests and lab work are a big part of this. Once the root of the cause has been discovered, you can actually treat the cause of the problem, not just its symptoms.   Building a Team for Better Gut Health Because everyone’s body is different, Bridgitte stresses the importance of looking at the body as a complex and interrelated system. There are no cookie-cutter solutions. A good practitioner needs to consider everything and tailor it to the individual.  That’s why it’s crucial to find a practitioner that you feel good using. Just because they’re knowledgeable does not mean they’re necessarily right for you. You’re building a team whose mission is to get your health on track. Make sure you find the right team members.

So this is a way, not only that I could help heal myself, but could help my clients way more. Instead of just focusing on the foods, we’re focusing on the whole body and getting to the root of their unbalances.” [6:00] “If you’re working with a GI doc or a dietitian and they’re not listening to you - they’re not listening to the experience in your body and doing everything in their power to try to figure out what’s going on - then it’s time to switch. If you don’t leave that appointment feeling empowered and heard, find a new practitioner.” [24:24] “You get to decide how you want to feel. There are solutions for you.

Happy Tuesday!

Constipation as a diagnosis can be dangerous, mainly because it is a powerful anchor in our medical decision-making. Chances are, you’d be right to chalk up the pain to functional constipation — 90% of pediatric constipation is functional, multifactorial, and mostly benign — as long as it is addressed. We’re not here for “chances are“; we’re here for “why isn’t it?“ Ask yourself, could it be: Anatomic malformations: anal stenosis, anterior displaced anus, sacral hematoma Metabolic: hypothyroidism, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia, cystic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus, gluten enteropathy Neuropathic: spinal cord abnormalities, trauma, tethered cord Neuromuscular: Hirschprung disease, intestinal neuronal dysplasia, myopathies, Down syndrome, prune belly syndrome Connective tissue disorders: scleroderma, SLE, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Drugs: opioids, antacids, antihypertensives, anticholinergics, antidepressants, sympathomimetics Ingestions: heavy metals, vitamin D overload, botulism, cow’s milk protein intolerance   Red Flags Failure to thrive Abdominal distention Lack of lumbosacral curve Midline pigmentation abnormalities of the lower spine Tight, empty rectum in presence of a palpable fecal mass Gush of fluid or air from rectum on withdrawal of finger Absent anal wink       You gotta push the boat out of the mud before you pray for rain.   — Coach     Medications for disimpaction (do this first!) Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 3350 (Miralax): 1 to 1.5 g/kg PO daily for 3 to 6 consecutive days.  Maximum daily dose: 100 g/day PO.  Follow-up with maintenance dose (below) for at least 2 months (usually 6 months) Lactulose: 1.33 g/kg/dose (2 mL/kg) PO twice daily for 7 days Mineral Oil (school-aged children): 3 mL/kg PO twice daily for 7 days   Medications for Maintenance (do this after disimpaction!) Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) 3350 (Miralax): 0.2 to 0.8 g/kg/day PO.  Maximum daily dose: 17 g/day. Maintenance dosing for Miralax may need to be tailored; up to 1 g/day maintenance.   Lactulose: 1 to 2 g/kg/day (1.5 to 3 mL/kg/day)PO divided once or twice daily.  Maximum daily dose: 60 mL/day in adults. Mineral Oil: 1 to 3 mL/kg/day PO divided in 1 to 2 doses; maximum daily dose: 90 mL/day Docusate (Colace): 5 mg/kg/day PO divided QD, BID, or TID (typical adult dose 100 mg BID) Senna, Bisocodyl — complicated regimens; use your local reference   Enemas Are you sure?  Have you tried oral disimpaction over days? No phosphate enemas for children less than 2.

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:  Denise: I just finished reading 'The Rain Barrel Effect'. I couldn't put it down. So good! I am 51 years old and I have been on a wellness journey for over 15 years now so I do follow a lot of the principles in the book. I have been struggling with gut disbiosis for a long time. My most recent attempt to correct this was through Viome (microbiome stool testing). I am not seeing the results I was hoping for.My main issues right now are hormonal and digestive issues. I recently had a colonoscopy and was very surprised to find out I have diverticulosis in my entire colon. I have been following a very strict all organic, mostly plant based with high fiber for over 15 years so this puzzles me.I have looked into your tests and detox protocols. My thought was to do a 21 day detox to start. I do have some concerns with the shakes. I tend to not like the taste of protein shakes. Would you happen to have samples of your shakes that could be tried before committing to the 21 day protocol? I currently weigh 130 pounds and feel really good at 125. I would like to do the 21 day detox for detox purposes, but don't want to lose 15 pounds. Can this be done without losing that much?Thanks, Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I was hoping you could dive a bit deeper into why you recommend taking a walk after a meal, but recommend against standing whilst eating?

Melissa Leah: Hello and thank you in advance for answering my question! I would like to know why do bodies produce polyps? I seem to be a super producer of them. I have had surgery to remove them from my nasal cavity so I can breathe easier, I have had 9 removed from my colon(pre-cancerous), and I was recently told that I have one growing on my cervix. Also, what are your thoughts on the surgical removal of polyps? I’ve been told that I need to do a yearly colonoscopy to remove any more that have grown (I’m 35 years old). Is there a way to shrink and get rid of polyps without surgically removing them? Katie: I ran the organic acids test last October of 2019 and everything came back great. Since then I have started having thick mucus in the back of my throat/mid esophagus along with stuffy nose congestion alternating with runny nose and slight left ear pain. I feel exhausted and completely run down. My primary care doctor ran CBC/thyroid/metabolic panel and that was fine as well. My primary care doctor that it could be acid reflux and I tried Prilosec for a few days but no change. I feel like my throat is inflamed and Having difficulty swallowing some foods.

In preparation for the main spring planting season, I wanted to release this interview with resources on dog safety. Of course this year with the pandemic a lot has changed, but regardless most of what we cover is still relevant for having dogs on and off the block tree planting! Here is Céline's post on KKR from yesterday for ALL planters with dogs this season: For planters with dogs, here is a fairly exhaustive list of items to add to your first aid + emergency preparedness kits. We have all been warned to come to camp prepared for everything we will need for the duration of our contracts. Please think about what your animal may need in the event of an emergency while you're in the bush! -Veterinary-prescribed parasiticide for fleas/ticks/heartworm (such as Bravecto, Revolution, Nexguard Spectra etc.) -Deworming (such as Drontal, Strongid etc.) -Any prescription medication or pain killers (such as Metacam, Rheumocam, Meloxicam, Gabapentin etc.) -Probiotic (such as Fortiflora) -Benadryl *XYLITOL-FREE! (2mg per kg of body weight every 8 hours as necessary) -Gravol (4-8mg per kg of body weight every 12 hours as necessary) -Pepsid (0.11-0.22mg per kg of body weight) -Laxatives (such as Laxaday or Miralax, up to 1⁄4 teaspoon daily) -alcohol, hydrogen peroxide (0.22-0.45mL per kg of body weight to induce vomiting) -Health supplements (such as Omega 3's, CBD etc) -Manuka honey -polysporin -saline tears -booties for burnt/ripped paw pads -brush, flea comb, tick key, tweezers -vet wrap, bandage tape, burn pads, gauze wrap, gauze pads, cotton balls, moist pads, non-adherent padding -sanitizing scrub, epsom salts, chlorhex soap -q-tips -thermometer + lube -tongue depressors -25G needle, syringe cap, sterile syringes -urgent care canned food -high viz collar, extra leashes, collars, muzzle, carabiner, seat belt attachment, properly-fitted harness -toys, poop bags -portable kibble bag -cauterizing sticks or flour to stop minor bleeding and ripped nails -scissors, gloves, nail clippers -identification: microchipping/tattoo/provincial or municipal registration -food for the duration of the contract, towel, cone, food and water bowls Céline Rytz is a planter, foreman and Joint OH+S Committee member with Brinkman Reforestation. She earned a pre-veterinary animal science Bachelors of Science in 2015 and has worked in several veterinary clinics as a veterinarian's assistant since. She strives to educate and support dog owners in forestry workplaces and remote communities throughout Canada. Céline constructed a project last spring for Brinkman's dog owners, specifically safety protocols while living in bush camp. I spent a fair amount of time researching online for any sort of comprehensive safety manual for dogs owners in the backcountry - whether for employment or leisure - and found very little information that was legitimate and complete. A version of her work was shared at the WFCA annual conference this year in Victoria, BC during the "Dogs in Forestry Workplace" session. Through nearly a decade of planting, she has witnessed numerous emergencies involving dogs in the bush- dog fights, musculoskeletal injuries, marijuana ingestion, insect sting anaphylaxis, hit-by-car, heat stroke/hypothermia, etc. etc. etc... Given most planting camps are a lengthy distance from any veterinary clinic, educating yourself on proper first aid treatment may reduce an animal's suffering and even save its life.

One of the most common questions we hear both in clinic and from podcast listeners is “but I already eat a squeaky clean keto or paleo diet, do I really need supplements?” The answer is YES as even individuals with the “perfect” diet can see micronutrient deficiency based on demand of their body during times of increased stress, injury, illness, pregnancy and beyond. There are so many factors that contribute as well to inability to absorb or utilize the nutrients we are consuming from genetic variants like MTHFR to gut integrity issues. Not to mention that we can even see inadequate intake of certain nutrients if restricting specific foods or based on changes in farming practices and sourcing. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki tackle common reasons for deficiency and how use of high dose nutrients can accelerate outcomes, support metabolic pathways and ultimately lead to optimal health!    In this episode, we cover the multitude of reasons that you need supplements to thrive in your body and how we use strategic supplementation both clinically and personally to get into superhuman mode. Whether looking to drive remission with autoimmune disease, optimize hormones, or just feel more resilient to stress, you will learn how we use functional targeted nutritional supplementation to yield clinical results. Plus learn how supplements can replace potentially harmful over the counter and prescription medications and actually address the root cause for ongoing resolution versus a bandaid quick-fix that will likely drive dysfunction down the line!    Also In This Episode:  The Art of Food As Medicine in Atlanta - Tickets on Sale Now New SupplementsKids-Biotic Thyroid Optimizer Why Do I Need Supplements if My Diet is Healthy?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Alex: Dr. Cabral, thank you so much for your work. The info and protocols you share have literally given me my life back. I listened to your podcast on lectins and need some clarity. The Organic Acids test confirmed some yeast and bacteria overgrowth, and I am currently on month two of the CBO protocol. I did not have any parasites, hpylori or clostridia. I do not want to eat poultry/meat for welfare standard issues, and seafood is not very appetizing to eat (except wild salmon). Thankfully I am not allergic to eggs, so this has been my main source of protein. I noticed the vegan proteins on the sensitive gut guide are mainly legumes. Hemp hearts are great but leave me very hungry in between meals. I have been trying lentils and chickpeas, but still have painful and explosive gas which goes away when I eliminate legumes. I did not have any IGG sensitivities to legumes, but have avoided them for years due to symptoms. Should I rerun the food sensitivity and eat legumes the day before the test? Also, once I complete the CBO protocol would it be possible to digest these vegan legumes? I heard from another source that it's because there is not the bacteria present to breakdown the legumes, but adding certain strains of bacteria can help with digestion. I am wondering if the CBO probiotics will repopulate the gut with these bacteria. Should I try again, is there anything I can do to add these vegan proteins back into my diet or am I just to avoid them for life and occasionally eat poultry/meat to keep protein intake at a decent level? Thanks again Chanel: Dear Dr. Cabral, I am a new listener and have loved every minute. I appreciate your analytical, but practical and caring approach. I also appreciate how you put yourself in the listener’s shoes. Every day, I try to learn more about the microbiome and natural health by reading, listening to podcasts, docuseries, etc. I am writing in to obtain your perspective and guidance. My family and I are on a health journey. We’ve made a lot of changes over the last 1 ½-2 years. I’ve suffered with some health conditions and have made many diet & lifestyle changes in order to improve my health. I still have some things to work on and my goal is to include as many natural/holistic methods as possible in order to regain my health and may write in about my health challenges at a later date. My husband is in the process of making changes too. Most importantly, our three daughters (ages 5, 8 and 12) have been the catalysts for our diet & lifestyle shifts. I am writing in about our girls, primarily my middle daughter. I apologize in advance for the length of this email but will try to condense everything. I’ve been able to look back in hindsight and realize some of the things that brought us to this point. In 2017-2018, we incorporated a lot of wheat in our diet. I thought that was the healthier thing to do so we traded white bread and pasta, etc. for wheat. This, along with an overall less than nutritiously dense diet, regular antibiotic prescriptions, hectic lifestyle, etc. more than likely, contributed to the decline of their gut and digestive health. Our children began to experience many health and digestive issues. Not long after this “wheat swap”, my oldest daughter began to randomly break out in hives. My youngest was diagnosed with GERD and then my middle was diagnosed with GERD along with other conditions. My middle daughter also experienced continuous reflux, stomach pain, bloating, nausea, headaches…you name it! These things heightened last spring; traditional medicine, doctors and specialists were not able to help us and may have set us back with acid blockers. This was a very hard time for our family and for me as a mother as I watched my children suffer. My middle daughter had a feeling of malaise, had low energy and was just not herself. She was also having moments of getting hot/flushed, with rapid heartbeat, headache, stomachache, dizziness, etc. We saw a naturopathic doctor in the spring 2019 and she was very helpful at the time. I also ordered a Diagnostic Solutions GI Map stool test from another practitioner for my middle daughter and the results showed high opportunistic bacteria, extremely low Sec IgA and low normal/”good” bacteria. We were put on a protocol and after treatment, things improved, but my younger two daughters take Miralax to prevent constipation. We removed gluten and dairy and embraced a whole-food, plant-based diet, incorporating organic, grass-fed & finished meats, etc. basically removed most candy & sugar, improved hydration and sleep, as well as slowed down our lifestyle. I thought that we were done with health issues, but my younger two daughters were diagnosed with lichen sclerosis (after many doctor & specialist visits) during the summer of 2019. We recently began seeing another holistic practitioner. She’s been helpful and we’ve incorporated supportive supplements to provide key nutrients that their bodies were missing, as well as some natural based prevention methods. This practitioner uses a Zyto energy scan. I’m skeptical of the scan and don’t fully understand it, but felt it had low risk and low cost so it was worth a try. My daughters and myself had the scan done and the results showed many different types of viruses (to include lyme and co-infections), bacteria, fungi, metals, parasites, microbes, mold, dysbiosis, etc. for all of us. However, my middle daughter is starting to experience some of the same symptoms as last spring, but to a lesser degree. I am very concerned to say the least. I feel that gut & digestive repair is a big piece to this puzzle. She’s had many other symptoms too, such as skin rashes, peeling and itching, an ulcer on her gum, and most recently, we’ve been referred to the children’s orthopedic department for unexplained ankle pain and knee pain that significantly impacts her mobility and to neurology for tingling on the bottom of her feet. I realize that this a lot of information, but I wanted to give you some background on my children. Another MRI was ordered, along with some labs. I’ve ordered your OAT for all of my girls, along with your stool, mold and toxicity tests for my middle daughter. We want to be through and comprehensive in our approach. We don’t want to return to this place of ill-health ever again. I know you can only give advice, but if this were you & your daughters, what would you do? We are desperate to rebalance the body and restore health to my child. We live in a rural community and there are not many practitioners that explore and practice natural-based medicine, along with comprehensive testing. Needless to say, our lives have been disrupted and we’re looking to find a place of peace. I realize you won’t be able to answer this immediately, but wanted your direct feedback.Concerning my middle daughter: *What else could/should we be evaluating or exploring-tests or labs? *What do we do in the meantime while we wait on test results? *Do some of these symptoms sound like an issue with the vagal nerve or gastroparesis? *What are your thoughts on the energy/Zyto Scan? *How would I know if we actually have all of the microbes, infections, bacteria and viruses, etc. reported from the energy scan and the best protocol to treat these things? Where do we start? Please help. Any guidance and/or direction is appreciated. Thank you for your time. ~Chanel Anthony: Hi Dr. Cabral, I’m a big fan and have been listening to you since you were interviewed by the MindPump crew. My wife is in her mid-40’s. She normally has difficulty sleeping however it has gotten worse over the past 6 months. Typically, it lasts around a week and is right before she gets her period. We both believe it is hormonal , common, but not normal. I searched previous podcasts and didn’t find anything. Hoping you can shed some light on the possible etiologies and point is in the right direction. Keep up the great work and thank you for all of the knowledge that you share. Happy Holidays! Anthony Rose: Does too much sugar in older mans diet effect his prostrate levels?? Anonymous: Dr. Cabral, I am writing to let you know that I would love to have you record a follow up to podcast #1306:Mystery Illness Solved:Client Case Study (TWT). My story is similar to your complicated client in that I was diagnosed with a Myeloproliferative cancer in January 2018. I have primary myelofibrosis with a component of Polycythemia Vera (needing an occasional phlebotomy due to hematocrit >45). I also have a history of Hashimotos Thyroiditis (currently on watch and wait) and reflux diagnosed a few years before. I have never had any other health problems in my life andI have been fairly active and healthy. November 2017 when my abnormal bloodwork was found I started an Anti-inflammatory diet and was ultimately able to bring my TPO antibodies from 150 to 70 and heal my reflux. Unfortunately as I continued trying for the next year to heal myself I was not able to improve my blood work with the myelofibrosis. In November 2018 I began working with a Functional Medicine practitioner and he found that I had high levels of mycotoxins, mercury, gut dysbiosis, and parasites. For the next year we worked to resolve and eradicate everything we found with the necessary protocols. I have been dry brushing, juicing, sauna sessions, coffee enemas, DCD, intermittent fasting, weekly 24 hour fast, supplementing, and on a anti-inflammatory diet. I even enrolled in IHP level 1 and 2 in January 2019 in order to further my education. I was trained in conventional medicine as a Physician Assistant and now I feel I could never practice the same way again due to what I have learned in experiencing this health journey. I feel better than I ever have in the past 20 years, the problem is, is that the Myelofibrosis continues to progress and we are at a point where my oncologist is suggesting I need to start on low dose chemotherapy. SO....I would love to hear what you found with your client and how you approached it and your results. I am so thankful for finding you and your wonderful community. Your positive demeanor and messages inspires me in my journey. Thank you for all you do. Rose: Hi, I had my thyroid removed over 25 years ago {goiter growth} I"m on thyroid med.

In this episode, Sharon Brown Keith will talk about the lessons she learned in 2019. She will also give updates on her blog site, and her newly published book, A Southern Girl Re-Belles.

Something as simple as pooping (or likely not pooping) has far reaching root causes that a bandaid like Miralax does not even begin to fix. Take a peek into the lens of an expert, Dr. Erica Peirson, a renowned Pediatric Naturopathic Doctor, with a global practice. 

What dietary changes should I make? Does a probiotic help? What about Miralax?

a project where you check your ego at the door and nothing is off the table we are here with Dr. Ken Brown what's up what's up Eric where you have a really really fun show for I guess this week when second who did you look for I guess it's week old man we got a start become organized knobs to this week we got so many cool topics that were just gonna roll with it because there's a lot of stuff going on in science stuff in the news Edward is learning so much every time we start going to these different meetings which you just came back from a meeting in we've done different meetings recently so which to keep bringing all that knowledge into this room and shared it with everybody and definitely we would so even just this last week number one thank you to everybody who began to ride into a so it seems like were very iTunes heavy in terms of subscriptions and people that are lacking in sharing the show so it was noticed thank you very much in case you happen to have forgotten all you have to do is like and subscribe to the gut check project on either iTunes or on YouTube and then you will be entered into the contest where you can win a free month supply of the signature protection package signature protection package which is all Tron tail and either KB MD sentiment or KB MD natural after you subscribe you simply have to go to get your project.com go to contact choose an email that says I subscribe to GCP we had several hundred last week and thank you for all the comments down there to there's lots people who just want to know more about trying to heal and know more about CBD they say that either or both of them are already working and that's that's great and would several guest suggestions as well think I've ever had the advice to be contacted by several patients who said that they were taking CBD and that after adding upfront feel that they notice that they feel like they are little bit better improvement is a placebo or is there something else going on and actually got some science behind it the reason why we called the signature package once you explain the science well long long ago is getting so I have CBD of course works as a supplementary micronutrient for your Indo cannabinoid system which is something that really we need to get onto the website it's a little bit about the meeting that we just went to Swint's last week talking about how to better convey this information but essentially the way the website looks awesome developed by a cRNA for cRNA doing a website it's pretty dang good yes if for a cRNA doing a website that's right that's basically the way we get away with saying it's a terrible website but were trying to make it better I promise so that was a little bit of the of the meeting that I went to for the last day and 1/2 and dad it's some great people out there want to say hey to donate and to Sarah and to to Brad great group of people out there in Phoenix but in Jake's charging only the Sarah Silverman yeah Bradley Cooper they were all there there into their there into web stuff and Nate McGillicuddy that there there all they are three people yeah I work so hard as you will never know they work there anyway but so the CBD will actually augment or work as an micronutrient fear Indo cannabinoids system and that's it that seriously is like any other system that we have in our bodies it's over 600 million years old evolutionarily speaking through all types of animals if you're a bird of vertebral meaning that you have a backbone you're guaranteed to have any CS so essentially what happens is taking CBD allows our ECS are you know can have annoyed system to better regulate and function as the governor between our immune system in our nervous system you've all heard of those systems so essentially whenever you have chronic inflammation it's either one of those two that's kind of working out about CBD doesn't yeah so I think one of the biggest issues that people are having with the CBD stores are popping up everywhere that I was I have news this and that's going on but nobody really understands why what so I get my patients a command and will say things like oh I've tried to be do nothing happened but I'll just say well here's part of the problem there's a lot of companies out there that even even the people that are making some CBD don't really understand the science behind it and once they try to BMD CVD the electrical back and say oh my gosh I took X, Y, and Z did notice anything now I'm able to my back pain is gone my neuropathy is gone and then I can explain why what's actually happening we all have an Endo cannabinoid system I keep coining the term and end of Caleb and all just because I really feel like the more and more I read about it the more it is really complex and there's some really cool science out there but the signature packages there because all trying to kind of stops in enzyme that breaks down your own endogenous and a cannabinoids meaning your body makes CBD you called Ananda my and that's part of the issues that we start going on these rabbit holes of explaining stuff but it's really easy you just have to realize that when you take CBD presses the reset gets everything back in balance and that's a come I think it's more than adapted you meaning that when you take it in your body will figure out what to do with it that's why you can't overdose on it that's why so many people can have incredible results that's why some people takes longer because maybe you need more of this what would you call micronutrient or an adapted you because I can go by a lot of different terms but people of your left and be my my goals to really try to explain a lot of the science and once I can put together good signature talk that is sort of as we always say bridges the gap between this complex science and natural solutions then were, to get out there and were to put that on the website on this evolving website yeah what you want and nothing's off the table of course so through that research and and I was there firsthand as you began to have patients who used CBD and then use a couple different brands and manufacturers not seen that the different changes in terms of once I finally have a high quality CBD so up I do want to say that what we offer the KPD health is not the only awesome CBD that's out there but what I can tell you is it does check all the boxes so if you're hunting for CVD to make a difference begin with a legitimate COA certificate of authenticity if they can't do that then move onto the next one that's if you can't check that box there is no reason to continue the discussion did you see I saw a news article where somebody got fired from their job because they were drug tested and they tested positive they were fired the personally got fired knew that they were doing anything all are doing CBD that it starts going around that CVD can cause false positives sure that person send it to a third-party analysis and as it turned out and even that particular one so that the amount of THC was none came back actually very high level so unfortunately somebody lost her job over this and now they're suing the CBD manufacturer for all of that so will CLA's can unfortunately date they now are the new fraud document right that's what somebody else is doing there just trying to play off of the something else and oversupplied coattails of somebody else and make it look legitimate that's what the people who commit fraud do they just they do that so ultimately I can say that if you want to trusted product that I know that Dr. Brown certainly endorses KB MD CVD is at least as safe choice in terms of quality price and and what you're after in terms of CVD so speaking of me that's that's that we took the high road with upfront heal from day one trip when we started looking at ingredients when we started looking about where were to manufacture we took at KBS research with our team over there we took off trying to only send it through different certifications one that I'm really proud of is this NSF which is certified for sport reason why I think that is so important is because working to start seeing that the combination of all trunk tools polyphenols helping with both sports performance and helping with sports recovery plus the stress of doing athletic performances automatically can going to deplete your own end of cannabinoids and so that signature package right there I think is going to be really critical in any contact sport making sure that the polyphenols that go through of that what make about her until we we develop trying to yield for digestive health were learning more and more the complexities probably feels like it's a great science in an article today that kinda ties a lot of this together but that's what I think is going end up being such a cool thing the signature package which almost all my patients are on that that combo right there my mom all my staff everybody and with this I can just see this being the future of Howard to start treating trauma Hogan start making sure that anybody a contact sport you prevent the inflammatory response before it actually starts causing some damage and some long-term consequences then this is its awesome information and we seen it firsthand where people have written to us again tons of email even just that as people have signed up and subscribed and shared gut check project it on YouTube or iTunes and just written this little notes I think also much mail trying to heal and CVD it worked great for me even common certainly appreciate them but if you just want to enter to get your own free month supplier chance that we have at least five winners coming up in July so simply go to get check project.com let us know that you signed up under the contact tab and will take care of the rest of your summary of soda purchase to be in the CBD and you just what I'm trying to outrun ~I almost make the fatal mistake that the nobody Arnaz is a writer development and you just want to add the signature pack to increase your own addendum I'd use trying to yield to augment your CBD death even if you don't have got issues even if you're not real interest in the polyphenols in the antiaging and anti-inflammatory effect but you want to make your CBD better go to love my tummy.com/spooky use code spinning saves money so eight Dr. Brown what is on the topic in terms of what happened with you on Father's Day how is Father's Day with his fathers it was also it wasn't found there was no tennis of course it rained like crazy but there is no tennis I did have a meeting there was it was awesome so Saturday great weather did just one of those old school hang out in the pool float I throw the ball we're just having fun and just if I felt like it was no like when the kids were four and five we would do that all day everyday so that was awesome and then on Sunday did something a little different we drilled Lloyd out shoes not too excited to do it it rained all night okay and muddy and everything and she had to laugh because I was wearing some pretty old grubby clothes she's like you to go out like that like area because Lucas and I have discovered kind of a fun little thing we found a cool park with Frisbee golf went out as a family played frisbee golf you have the putter and then that of the different discs for the different shots or is it just one desk per person much like my regular golf game much-needed driver drive no matter what we just use drivers there were some other people in the course in July, we that it's like to you're watching people to really know what they're doing now but would have thought it was really cool so it was a hot muggy and muddy and it was a resume just punch those little things I mean I think that we don't get out enough just do silly stuff get yourself back in nature is really cool park it's over East Plano and just really one of those silly unplanned witches do this not whereby they nobody's looking at phones or just out there slinging a desk have a little fun again no I love unloved days like that and said that's good stuff how was your father's death as it was good it at the one of those things where the actual Father's Day on Sunday namely the boys not to get together on Monday because Kate's out of town shoot hoop that was also in a tournament and it's quite the normative use have busy kids that are teenagers and dad but we did get together Monday I guess nice new kicks which the boys are great at picking out and issues for dad I'm terrible at it and then they surprised me by buying me my first opportunity to go and do a tandem skydive jump so I asked the boys and Marie they wanted to do with me Marie said sure I mean I'm I'm nervous but I want to do it gauges like yeah love can't wait and Max response was nope and I think all three also different different planes of the don't have a good feeling about sales exactly how I would be you guys do that let me know me and macro go catch a movie that only think he wants to come watch e-zines want to hear of it that it's all okay when it's over but looking forward to it I do have to own something when you said you get some new pixels and this is like what happened that I'm I have been on the slight run of losing things, so the family got a really cool wallet had bag two cards got the wallet out that's awesome then we went and did the whole Frisbee golf and got all muddy and got busy and everything have the card sitting there I can't find this wall really yeah so thanks family for dinner three but find it and switch out everything Ireland beat up wallet here so it's a great gift that's a habit of things can turn that things just turn up months later after I ordered three more from Amazon now let's deftly believe also remaining in the show today we got a bunch of topics that people have written about that we decided we wanted to counter framed this particular episode around everything from what what's experience a bit of or what's it like to have a near-death experience and kind of how your brain adjusts is that we with Dr. Brown has a really cool article on point sanded ins and have the get the gun actually reacts to that yet another topic of their also yeah so we had those few things there's I'm in a be doing a live Facebook at 530 today central standard time 630 Eastern with the Siebel SOS crew massive community sure Siobhan Sartre asked me to do this and it's in it are very classic and she laughed about this case you realize how this works you notionally go through usual text your email you you and I'll be working and I'll just go and what yeah whatever sure I didn't realize my commitment to this and how big of an audience this is so I'm doing in our Facebook tonight and then on July 2 second I'm doing a three hour live lecture series followed by Q&A check out SEBO SOS Summit damages Google and SIB oh SOS if you want to catch Dr. Brown this is it said this is a really big group now document a few years ago to get started not not as massive hits you – ugly big group but I'm looking at the other speakers there you got Mark Pimentel Santos Rao Allison C Becker Mike Roos COM and all the big players in this whole Siebel community and I had to laugh because I'm like well I need to learn some stuff that they would talk about them all I think I'm the last lecture in the whole series and so the cycle how to why top any of the stuff that they've done there so try to find some unique things and I did bring an article that will probably talk about tonight was Siobhan because one of the things everybody does talk about are these different gases that these bacteria produce okay so how do you start looking into a little different way if you're unfamiliar with what were talking about see both small intestinal bacterial overgrowth if you get sick take antibiotics or have an infection then you have a chance of the motility in your intestines changing and bacteria can start growing where they shouldn't be stopped the bacteria good or bad the destroyed or they shouldn't. Then whenever you eat that's what creates all the bloating that's why we developed ultra until to help those people that get bloated and we initially were basing on the science behind how methane is produced today's articles really cool about how molecules are trying to interact with hydrogen sulfide which a lot of people have always asked the essence of this community is a very knowledgeable community and so I imagine such as Facebook live somebody's going to say that I'm ready to start talking hundred sulfide and the Pro at the sign additions a.k.a. upfront to ethical thing is it does it just because I think it it what's happened without trying to heal that we've been able to at least begin to address methane production but that's not where is our everything ends so it's it's kinda cool I think to have people see that you've continued the research and we just keep knocking down the hurdles that are that are before us and hopefully start coming up with some better answers is with us and because these other speakers right just completely respects her a lot of them are on the the lecture circuit lot of them or know primarily researchers and knowing what I did pharmaceutical research my office was consistently one of the highest enrolling sites being a private practice office in the Dallas area and when we do this I facts and studies it was Cedars-Sinai Mount Sinai Mayo Clinic Johns Hopkins and you know being number one is not always the best this is how I know that we enrolled most because the FDA said wait a minute what is this little tiny spot Plano to enroll all these people so they came and gave you a good thorough audit for two weeks that was so much fun to have as a redo your car note yes that's I know that so the thing about it is is that we want to bring to the table is real world just completely real world experience of people that are frustrated that they've done a lot of things so it isn't so much saying that this is my protocol this is this because all the others to see Becca protocol Pimentel program protocol there's always people to open protocols sure and know that I meds they really really work for them I can't because everybody has Artie done one of these protocols and shows up just a high-volume practice so when I bring is okay let's be practical about it I don't really want to spend that much more money because you've Artie spent a lot of money we don't need to scope you for the fourth time and if you ever had any issues like this then you can understand what I'm talking about by the time you end up seeing a doctor and so it'll be interesting because I'm one of the few really traditional – are all just talking and this community kind of doing the whole bridge the gap thing try them both sides lease of an active patient pool to yes very activation pool and I'm always learning for my patients and then when I'm in a go on something like this I know they're going to throw some questions will give me curveballs and that just makes me better sure just continue to grow so later in the show we also are going to address we had several questions this last week about while air if you are a member of KB in the health you more than likely received an email it talked about the KPMG health box which I didn't really know that we were going to get to today but it looks like it we have to because we had tons of people sign up and then we've had more people with with statements like this is great but what is X, Y, and Z so in the second hour were going to go straight to what is the KB the health boxes can't touch on it probably won't take up the whole time but deftly kind of the unmask a little bit of the yeah start unmasking that yeah absolutely and of course my baila company digestive health Associates of Texas D hat still going to launch that will work a few kinks up it's a little bit different when you're launching with 90 doctors versus one we already have a community that's listening and we can talk to them in the way that I'm used to talking to them so little learning curve so if you happen to be a digestive health associate patient and you go see your doctor gray ones that box coming up but looked like a little fire under it is asked by many else it's like anything is no one's fault it's want to have the yeah the coined phrase of the of too many chefs now so sometimes you have a lot of input and things can slow down the will we will figure that part out also to add on to the near-death experience talk that'll come lead into little bit about superstitions to talk about about the science superstitions and why humans may actually benefit from them even though there's no scientific explanation on the outset or the perception of them we might have a little bit of it to talk about the woman start looking at these different things ever silicone what in the world where the goal of this will the dealers is that when you can start making scientific sense of things you could start taking control for instance if you if your worrier I was a central podcast this morning about different things you can do to help control the worry how you can sit there and either embrace it control it visualize something different but it all comes down to doing something to get your mind under your control right and that you can call that meditation you can call it whatever but it's a practice we discussed that where I was telling you about the whole NLP were you can do some sort of movement associated with the memory or emotion and you can put yourself in that a motion that's what Tony Robbins does before he goes on stage or visit minutes that's weird she gets on the trampoline or does this routine yeah that a superstition that no neurolinguistic programming all these different things start to make sense when you start looking at it because when we are doing all these things you're moving Marcus Aurelius the yeah the Stoic philosopher I like to read that daily stoic yesterday it was so pertinent because this and you know that now that we've been doing business for little while you you understand my brain works which when you start feeling overwhelmed and you pause be in the moment and stick 1 foot in front of the other and then when Ryan Holliday interpreted that is what he saying is when it looks really daunting look at the one hurdle that you have to get over first yeah and you know that's how my brain works because I'm just like you think about anything until I get this one thing done and then I'll move there's other people that like to try to get half a thing done of many things I'm much more that's what starts bringing in a lot of anxiety and a lot of depression for a lot of people in learning how to be in the moment just take the one step in front of the other I think that that's were CBD can really help people out also work because it actually we showed in one episode how CBD can bond to the serotonin receptors prime directly I think that allows you to really get getting control of your emotions and do that we can talk about a lot of stuff and tie it all together and why all of this is related to gut health yeah I think that today shows it has really cool basically things you can begin to apply to your daily routine to hopefully alleviate anxiety and if you have just even mild depression start finding something some tools that you can incorporate as soon as today speaker tools.org or open up the next half-hour yeah yeah what's that I'm not telling that sound scary gut check project episode number 15 we will be back

anesthesia for all my colonoscopies turned on through the night myself and my patients thank you very much as you do an excellent job at your out-of-town flag I got a chance to work with somebody new for the first time I have a moment oh yeah moment great guy and it was really interesting because you you forget that you spend so much time with one person that don't have a chance to talk but in these if you've never had a colonoscopy anybody or if you've never actually seen what happens basically the gastroenterologist and the cRNA or anesthesiologist are in the same room for eight hours and the lights are off and Everett everybody's pain attached to the: not the butt but the: on the screen and talking a little bit you'd learn stuff about people learn quite a bit about it so Mo and I reset the talk and he didn't really know a lot about me and Connor hinted at something and he said he was you know what you would really like this podcast and super into it I'm like yeah what is it goes Peter Addie had had like yeah yeah listen to several of his stuff and just you know I learned about him through another guy you should meet Dan Ben Greenfield like okay so you are listening to similar projects contents of this led to him asking me all kinds of things as we started to move on is like he was waiting at your end of the stuff so no what you think of this sauna infrared sauna things will onto a sauna topic and we talked about that Charles Rison in his studies with that the finish guy and all the estate so it turned into a bio hacking day while Anna and I started telling him and live pictures of everything and of course I just about bring everything that I try out the X.3 bar vibration plates MiraLAX sauna I sent you bring it all to work and make everybody do it right they want to write well I'm sure that the they have a full say baby I feel obligated yet so then we got to talking what all he's like oh my gosh I need get them what will you be like me were you to start ordering stuff that you do hear a podcast that all of a sudden everything starts showing up at your house think about that I was like wow since you left this is my newest attempt to hack okay I got these BFR bands BF armband blood flow restriction. Okay so the idea behind these are that you put these proximally on a joint and then you do low weight high repetition to increase blood flow and it prevents the venous blood flow from coming back K penetrates deeper into the muscle because the pressure starts build up in there so you not restricting arterial blood flow but not restricted venous blood flow okay and the theory is that this can actually increase muscular hypertrophy increase muscle growth growth hormone goes up but not just in the limb the body has a systemic response really is so that sounds kind of crazy though knowing that that venous blood can I be carrying back that waste gas CO2 the lactic acid so is it is all of that extra dilation and pressure together helping to penetrate the tissues at the idea I think the idea is that it helps to put penetrate the tissue that when you relieve it there is a compensatory dilation can flushes the lactic acid little experiment pair oh that autumn okay yeah that sounds fun so wanted to slap this on your right arm right on it way up and then all you do is just tighten it like this okay so it's like a flex turn okay here is how you can go as high as I can get okay aren't you listening and adjusting band with one arm now on the way Brown has a much bigger arm than the show is all about science were doing to get it if you his attention just if you just lift up will pitch ready so I brought a resistance band you can sit in your chair okay put it on your foot just do a few bicep curls as we keep talking okay were to look and see if one arm is been has that this is a this is a rubbery rope I have is from when you're handing it to me I thought it was so I'm holding here is just basically a yeah a plastic or robbery braided rope and I'm going to apply tension and then begin to to make curls essential while although no doable thoughts on both yeah and so this way we have a comparison we have it we have a placebo are okay yeah you like that placebo are dorky joke okay hold I'm having to flip the hand around because the yeah the the butt of the handles, banging his wrist little bit no yeah I think you have to speak back little bit and do that but I was so go ahead and keep doing that as were going to do this is our Instagram post for the day for sure just great audio so what so what Eric is doing right now some occult blood flow restriction I think it kinda makes its way through different weightlifting circles periodically and the idea is that you can increase venous pressure port your to decrease venous return resulting in increased blood flow to the muscle and so you don't have to use as heavy of weight but then you just do multiple repetitions and you can get some outcome so this all stemmed from me working with Mo we just about bio hacking and different things it dawned on me how much stuff I'm willing to try you try a lot of things I see no idea member that movie tin cup whenever he had anything you know he's got days get a hat on and has the ball hanging down ladies get the medication just walked in here age the trailer can't get him out of it yeah the shakes like a virus well that there is interest is only keep trying to to do this while we have this discussion we look more I just am I'm looking to see if one you deafly have more venous distention and the right arm that's actually that's on has this one has the a lot more actual which call BFR Yep bit well yeah the brand is BFR blood flow restriction okay yeah I mean I can necessarily feel the difference but it it is different so is interesting I actually have leg ones also I put a lot of those doing logistic air squats also stuff to try to figure out skills hey if you do that enough aren't you going to cause varicose veins oh Mike can't stand when a 14-year-old sitting something I'm not yeah I mean there's gotta be a reason but well you know I think it's working why can definitely see basically the bulging here in this particular vein you can see here it's not Councilman Reo here nearly as much so obviously it's restricting return back to the heart in that and one limb so just another little little things I will let you know for from seeing some significant difference here but that's what yeah and just pulled off oh no there's a combination it's a lot yeah I know you get it now see you will very very interesting and I don't know how would we measure that is penetrated better but what kind of parameters of the user that she has studies on this and like but I did look up in his studies on the South Bend strengths if I get you do that live on the UN probably happen again note no doubt well so earlier in the show we we had a few people who rode in and wanted to know about the traumatic events and in having traumatic events we had a couple people who said you know does near-death experience affect me or affect someone who's had it and how does it affect the relationship with other people in their lives and in you and I started talking and then you rent another you reminded me but you brought up that now we've even you and I both have had a couple of the strange experiences growing up as is a lot of different people doing you've asked me to to counter retail this story here will if it was wonder why we went here last week we had Cooper read on correct and we would talk about suicide and suicide is currently being studied at Johns Hopkins for both depression and PTSD right so the stopper got brought up and there note people that have had near-death experiences that is a profound cause of PTSD and people can ruminate on death and it did definitely has in it I can say from my own experience and it stuck with me pretty well and there's there's a couple things my life they were kind of weird whenever I experienced in that the but this one in particular was probably the only time that I actually thought that I was more than likely going to die and what happened in the year 2000 exactly one week to the day before Anne-Marie and I were to get married we were down in Galveston were down some friends Dave and will and another guy named Cameron Cameron lived in Galveston and rain at the time lived just south Houston what we went down to the beach and Cameron had a new surfboard anyone is that you want to show us how how cool it was and how he could certainly gallows to visit Hawaii were now or it takes real skill to get up and that in those low energy wave is I was thinking of Cabo where the word the ocean to be very dangerous with the huge undertone sure you now there are jetties though because it obviously is is eroding the beach and so if you've ever been to Galveston or down towards Jamaica Islander things they call it that had the St. Louis bridge there is there's these long jetties whatever the interval is that shoot out from the beach out to after the golf and we were right next to the area over there was a jetty on our left into our right was the old flagship hotel that you don't believe there anymore and had a really bad storm couple years ago took it out but regardless and in you can see people of it the hotel it was built on top of these peers that went all the way out into the Gulf and son is is that going down and were just standing in water can control my brain if I can go word or not it's one thing out and then I get to that next thing the next week because when you start looking it's about now thigh deep so it's it's not big waves: there is now nothing even think about what to figure out how this is a near-death experience so far it sounds so far as I like hanging out sound like silliest run up with a gun yeah and and they didn't fortunately but that Cameron goes out on his surfboard and Dave and Marine will and I understand it is watching and he's catching some waves and where you just casually drinking a beer to while he's out there doing it and that I do remember looking back that as we're watching Cameron serve that a wave came in it was probably bigger than the others not huge though Andy, wash upon us and then a few seconds goes by and then suddenly I'm not on my feet anymore and I'm underwater coaches and on base I can feel myself just kind of being I don't know's scurried underneath water and water go to my nose in such a huge undertow cam upper exactly what was I not terrifying how quickly something like that can happen it was out of nowhere maybe I had no expectation that there was even any element of danger of us standing there and then when I popped up notes so whenever we were standing on the 81 in the thigh deep water we were only about 20% annual court of the way down the length of the jetty that was on our left and we were good I don't know 4050 yards away from it now to laterally and so the water came it sweat me out and when I popped up I quickly realize that even further out was Dave and Marie there back behind me and were not even where the waves are crashing yet we can be we went underneath where all the waves were crashing up against the jetties and we popped out and you all we have is the waves as they are building up hello there crashing over and I can remember Dave yelling in the distant saying bellringer don't go towards the jetty I might yeah yeah did you say go to the judge's so I am comforted that Marie is close to today but I don't see will anywhere that I have no idea what will is and I keep trying to swim laterally that's really the only thing that I'm I knew away from the Jenny he was doing no good though I just did kidnap power the wave was pushing me and it ends up pushing right to the end of this Jenny rock right at the very very tip and I can remember as well I'm riding a wave and you hear crash the closer you get the louder the sound gets and then the wave pick up any of the crash will then I can remember distinctly that the water in the wave just before the storm to the rock crashes on the edge the very tip of the jetty and it just goes and is it goes down I could see all way down I could see him exhibiting muscles and whatever LOL although the rocks on my and in my mind since Marie now living in southeast and often times on the local news are talking about people who who died on the weekend just hanging out on the beach and I sent in my mind I remember thinking your to be on the knees and you not gonna make it to the wedding your wedding and but they should family together I guess you know and so then the head though the my my turn comes apparently so your watch so you know it's, I there is nothing you could do about it you look at all these rocks and muscles and sharp objects skip looking back on gigantic pieces or red granite stonelike – consider square cube but they deftly been cut right so they could build these jetties so they been stacked along the end and so then my wave comes in a seat I'm thinking it's it's can be head injury now because that you being hurled into jagged large wall so just a big wall of stone I choose so the moment I hit my first surprise is I in him head and then the crazy thing was I then just felt my body being pulled down and I quickly saw the scar from a nominee as quickly jammed my my leg between two of those gigantic stone dry and water is crashing up and basically coming over my head with each successive wave and had to get energy try to think about the timing it really could believe that I was still there and finally as I began to peace together I really haphazard but it worked strategy to get out of there I crested the top and the moment that I get to the top I thankfully I see Dave and then what he's doing is he's retrieving Marie I thought I was a bad spot they actually washed up on close to the the tip of the jetty but actually on the side and that is nothing like a underwater washing machine boat shoes and she every time she tried to step up Dave said she was being sucked you see video having that of tourists and in Hawaii there's a state of the get sucked up and then they can't get out of that little whirlpool all awful Gallic when the crime got crashing and that the big stones and Dr. of I got back a big cliff it's it's very very similar day in appearance the way it looked but think thankfully for Dave he's right there he pulls Marie up and inward which is all cut up right and the week goes but we made it obviously and we found will will have like 11 Nick about his bellybutton Sally have scary and then he got it he didn't get pushed annually as far as we did but regardless we were fine but I still remember having for brief a time lots of thoughts about that eyelids already kind of now should say comfortable but I accepted the idea that was coming it and the weird thing is though you are forced to begin to reconsider your life choices where you what your direction is what is it you're going to do in and I I would say that when you were clinging with your knees right essentially you clamp your knees right really thankful that you have that Suzanne Somers thigh Master yeah down the runway that's the one time readers like I'm happy about that life choice yet there's no saving my life that and the little finger good machine that I had there that I was always now I've done that I don't know that I have a thigh master anymore but I just imagine just clinging to a wall waiting for wave after wave of the way when they hit you just like his heavyweight just one dance pulling down on all parts of your body sent just like your bathing suits everything right and I mean I still wear my my shirt I think anyway being Labor Day was torn and that we are broken up pretty good and read and you know we we laughed it to the third series was behind us we all went on to enjoy each other's company and hung out's, talked about it people in this nobody bar restaurant across the street were looking at us as were still bleeding and yellow came like that you know yeah and and dad but what Marie and I both went through together going through that was comes bombing expansive we made we had several conversations about just that one evening that just that one 30 minutes that said they kinda form the way that we both were able to Kelly Golding and reevaluate where you are in life and then didn't really occur to me until a few years ago day what was what was that coping mechanism what allowed these different things to happen and I'll enough as I began to look through it I learned that Marine are actually fortunate that we did it together because people often times it have near-death experiences alone or away from all of their significant others or close family members they actually end up being not perceived well by those who don't understand their experience I can actually build up a wall lots of times there are people who have near-death experiences that they have a significant other that didn't go through the same sequence of events are the same expense at all and they actually have a hard time relating until the other person has time to recoup from that and I found that fascinating that just by complete block it number one we survived it in number two that we did it together that that wasn't something that became a barrier wall action was a bonding experience and others actually lots of the dopaminergic activity or dopamine release it happens and the realization of the things that you did right you get past the trauma and so which of course not I don't I just think it's fascinating because that is the way that you said that you enumerated note through through life you're going through other things and you you go back you can reflect on that you we came out of that so we can we can fix we can basically get through anything else that's not a life-and-death situation I really think that that's a lot of our veterans feel yes which is why they find community amongst other veterans because you don't look at the Vietnam era look at the rock era were people come back and third misunderstood get the PTSD that got traumatic brain injury all that kind of stuff and if you don't find your sense of community were other people can get it it can be a very lonely an anxiety provoking time without question into make it even more lucky and to bring and they the veterans it is exactly what I was moves on the misers reading through this we didn't lose anybody in our party out of the five of us that were together we all five left had someone been hurt whatever did net the scenario recovery would have been far more different that the same thing plays out people who have automobile accidents they have a plane crash or whatever but when a band of people go through something together it's traumatic and life-threatening with and that's one thing if somebody survives and someone doesn't it can actually really really way and that's what gives way to the survivor's guilt and different things like that so I just had a patient that told me that her functional medicine psychiatrist was at the national of PTSD meeting and in the meeting were a bunch of gastroenterologists around the country no kidding – it's good I was like wow I didn't think and choose like yeah will first of all in the intake for now you know that was throwing some intake form you do smoke do whatever is commendable to address certain things so I think that one of the criteria Medicare now was asking his have you been a victim of any trauma that you start going on the PTSD route and it makes total sense as a gastroenterologist if you are not able to get past an event in your life that's how come so many G.I. issues are tied to childhood abuse no joke and we've learned that forever that when you start looking at these different things that that could really be tied to something like that because the serotonin in the gut there's more certainly got that in the brain and then anytime you have any type of dopaminergic depletion or any type of cortisol rise that affects your intestines so all these kinds of things it's interesting because I'm trying to think about wow if I had the perfect practice it would include both the addressing not just using proper diet not just using some some bio hacking tools right like sauna like CBD but then also offering the environment where meditation can be taught mindfulness meditation so in article just came out this fits right and I just read this were they published that and realize how far you have to go mindfulness meditation can actually help with rumination not food rumination rumination of thought thoughts yeah so rumination of thought you look that many of the way it's that thing where you just go man can't get that out of my head why do I keep thinking about the negative thing why does this happen why am I worried about this why is this it's the rumination it can be OCD level Richard be over here but when you start doing a mindfulness meditation then you can ask you start taking control of some of that stuff and I want to hear I want to talk about how athletes can cope without penalty but my near-death experience okay super quick death I was driving home from but I was out of town knows to head the Google maps on that said turn right and I turned right it was paying attention but I turned right right before I should've and I ended up in a McDonald's drive through what yes that a car pulled up behind me and I was stuck in the drive-through I pulled right up there and she was hate what I get you then I was like panic that it will to do this with Joe I hope KB McDonald's it was in my car thankfully I was able pull over right away and throw it out yeah it's too bad Lloyd when they were younger than together I don't talk about it Donald you weren't there as there alright so let's use that same idea try to control your brain and control his thoughts let's talk about what you want to talk about what they the interesting thing the title of the together is how to get past how do you regain control heady because I never felt out of control in my thoughts and I wasn't struggling to find a happy place treating us like that and don't think that severely severed since just that one incident but it it made me want to kind of explore what is it that people are doing and what kind of routine do they get into and I was reminded just this last weekend while watching the College World Series Texas Tech within and I noticed that one player for instance Josh Young he always talks to his bat before he plays this guy was drafted by the Rangers I think number eight while and absent successful hitter etc. any eve we've all seen the guys are about to batten a buckle and then buckle and the buckle and buckle there are gloves right before they hit and they all have the routine so often times we dismiss superstition as dumb or inexplicable but we just do it and the truth is there's lots of research that shows that establishing a routine actually no matter how silly can allow your brain to administer the right amount of dopamine to where you find the focus necessary to achieve the task and even though it may set expectations unrealistically high for what the outcome is when those achievements don't happened or don't occur the level of depression is is less it's basically like well we can do it again next time but the times of people are withheld from doing their superstitions they almost inevitably always blame the fact that they didn't do the routine there so this all tied back to some really basic stuff that Tim Ferris and several others have said find your morning routine to establish your mode of success and I could start with making your bed every day or your routine for meditation or your routine on how you make your breakfast or just your routine on how you greet your family members but your routine matters you set up your routine you take control of your day that way and then it is you've set it in motion a mean Arnold Schwarzenegger Tony Robbins talks about it superset dilemma super successful people all have his morning routine with a get up and they do the stuff I think that you start using this morning routine and augmenting it by getting out and earth in general being to get outside little bit special with the sun shining start your circadian rhythm going right by doing that you can drink a big glass water start your hydration routine and then if you're capable to be really cool to do a meditation every day before we do the show I was go to the Colleyville lifetime I have got a little routine where I ended it by being in the sauna and during 15 minutes of mindfulness meditation and I think that that is a way to control even if this show sometimes you know we just go okay hope the show goes well least I have control of that portion of having contracts like a grounding it's it's it's as is a level familiar familiarity that you can embark upon something new and you you know that you have just like you said that level of control to move forward and and has encompass so key take away today if you're experiencing even just modest amounts of overwhelming feelings of anxiety start I just mapping out a new routine it's beneficial to you and that you can commit to not how small a really back in the next half hour and as promised Dr. Brown is going to address a little bit of the questions around hitting the box we'll

are now syndicating really yeah yeah good for him absolutely so take the time Dave to check out trades chow down on the spinning at work it's a great show it's a it's a it's a terrific show so anyhow gradually stray and more continued success as the spinning network continues to grow there's a cassette last week just tons of great shows around spinning network and these need to do so if they were taken out so Dr. Brown we had hinted last hour that you are going to address some of the questions we had come into the email that only those have Artie signed up with Katie in the health box but there's a few who like a this sounds great they had some some some more I guess articulated questions the things that you would Artie plan on getting to so before we sent out the email to do some acclamation we figure we went to the show and it will send out later today yeah so were really excited we work on something we brought up a few episodes before about the digestive health associate member box and what this is is a curator a cultivated box where I want to put things to augment your life that have been vetted that I have seen as a physician my work in my patient population and we have teamed up with a great guy Stephen Roselle started this company called member box because he realized that we can deliver health to your house and that's our goal and so we are launching the KB MD health member box what that means is that when you sign up for this you will be able to get physician vetted products delivered to your home at a huge cost savings so I teaming up with member box were able to purchase these things in massive bulk or they are and then you can cultivate the box with the first month is really the month that I'm going to be my boxes to be the the I guess will be the mid-June box stripped and so in this box arrives at your house your health has arrived there what it does arrive make sure that you reuse recycle share very excited because one thing we did was we told everybody to this were to be launching this and a lot of people signed up which is awesome but a lot of you also asked what could be in the first month your fire to have everything so let's talk about right the first month now that being said something we've not been able to talk about in the other emails we sent out right that first month is going to be what I have seen work but a patient yesterday was asking me will you know I take this supplement for my eye health is there anything to be there for Isaac is that something I would like absolutely great question because what you be able to do once you become a member of this very exclusive community you can go on and there's gonna be a store where you can build different things if you need and I think if you want this these are all going to be vetted products and what I mean by that is we know that a lot of a lot of different supplements and things like that such as supplements or some food products and really really really cool stuff through DNA analysis they show that almost well almost 80% of them do not have what they say it has in their so in this box we know that these have all been third-party tested we know that the bees are very reparable companies and I have seen them actually work on people and so that's what's really cool working to be able to deliver health to your house and you know that you're getting something that's actually real and you're getting to huge discount to win win win it is definitely a win and another added benefit that you kinda hinted and hinted about there is that when you go and you you become a member of the KPD health box you have access basically to a marketplace and for lack of a better analogy think of Cosco you don't get to see the advertised prices of Costco but you more or less pay a membership with this one is really required membership the mom that you buy you get if you want to pause your your receiving stuff you just posit however as long as you are a member the KPD health box you can look at the marketplace and you will have basically pricing on goods that they cannot make public and that's why you don't see Costco run ads they have agreements with their suppliers not to advertise what their low costs are same for Sam's Club this essentially is an online more or less avenue for you to not only save money but to get it delivered to your home and then you get to have a physician show your lease and health space these are the supplements that I know have science to back them you can save money on and this is how it works for you and the outcome which you touch on is also there's some things you didn't put in there that a lot of people commonly take I seen when people come through the clinic or the G.I. suite and they say love taking so-and-so and so-and-so what's it doing for me and often times I've seen you say I don't know I don't know what that's doing for you coming, hint on that what's not here yet so this in the first month there's a few things that I don't see really good success with I don't see really good success with your run-of-the-mill probiotics for instant night everyone comes in my clinic is Artie been on five or six different ones and there's some science to show why traditional probiotics over a long-term have not been much more beneficial than than a placebo and a lot of evidence points to the fact that most of those probiotics get destroyed through the stomach acid into the bio and pancreatic issues next week were having a microbiologist to talk about this and probably sounds that sort of work and we hit it that I do see a lot of people that take unnecessary vitamins when I checked her blood recheck micronutrients it's all there not not really something that I would put a whole lot of people on because traditionally the diet a lot of people are taking poorly absorbed ingredients so there, wasting the money my big thing for this is to talk about the science talk about things that have been shown to benefit people get it for a savings and more importantly really get my patients not waste money I mean we talked in the last half-hour about how love the life pack and how I try to get into these different things sure one of those things is really trying that a lot of the different products that I take and see the benefit that I can get from them so that's why we chose in the first month and I will say this that to put it in perspective complete cost analysis on this box and I want to go through all these products and why your digit over $250 worth of product for the membership fee of $147 right so it's already $100 savings that you did anyplace else you can go to Amazon and build the spot you can't go to Cosco and find the six right is a very unique vetted products that are going to make a difference is a big point so when that let's say that you do go to Amazon or that you do go to Cosco you do go to any other traditional retailer that they were all familiar with generally what you see on the endcap which is the other the end there or what you see on the on them on the most visible shelves always but generally what that is it's not about them being the best product it's about them having the most marketing dollars is about them having the best placement in this particular scenario utilizing KB in the health box the physician has gone through and said this is irreparable manufacture and the declarations over the application of this supplement has a real benefit and you was really exciting this marketplace over talk about it's only going to keep growing yeah it's all you keep growing with reputable things I pay certain registration fees so that I can have access to different certificates of analysis like consumer labs is one of them picture I just read a recent one with a look that melatonin melatonin's and almost all of them had varying amounts when I talk to patients just every thought about the first half-hour or tried CBD didn't work 00 I tried melatonin didn't work so I tried this it didn't work it's both probably because what was on the label was 1/10 of what was on the label or vice versa or there's a whole of things we did also talk about that in the certain categories an article just came out warning parents do not purchase items for their teens associated with sports performance weight loss or energy because Racine team death now from supplements and when they analyze it it's because there's a lot of weird stuff in there it didn't and that's that's what this that's one of the many purposes this serves and that is basically to help the end user get real products with a real purpose with the real savings and quite honestly one of the biggest complaints or the worries that we have in the patient's come through the G.I. suite is well I've already spent this money on this and now I added this is this when working is this a good mix the cool thing is is what were putting in here can be taken together and it relieves anxiety so just think I'm not only saving money I'm saving time and I'm saving a trip to the store I'm not having to go in piecemeal all of this together I know that the physician has gone through and see Miss you already trust him with a I with a prescription we trust him with the regimen that you leave the clinic with now you get it with a with a consumer supplement level purchase well yeah so it is it's it's can be a physician this is what I would tell my patients to go drive someplace and purchase it what we do is taking the convenience out of that and so this is not good it's not prescriptions noted on his Christian all its over-the-counter things that I have seen that help me right I have seen it work on my patients and we know that it's it's a recommendation and if it doesn't fit you like man I like four of these items keep those for next month you want that I product yet that I product you you want something else you want to go beyond that and getting to skincare and beauty lots of stuff like that you want to get the advice of a holistic plastic surgeons products that are available there you can do that a lot some books to get there so if if you happen to be someone who says you I like God the way that Dr. Brown suggested this this and this but I actually want this other thing that someone else has in the marketplace you can do that there's nothing wrong and you coul

They will STOP asking you questions about Medicare, because they WILL Find the answer by listening to Medicare Nation episodes! Let’s give YOU back some time…. So that YOU can have more time for yourself   Today…..I’m going to be talking to you about the Differences Between Multi Target Stool DNA Test  vs. Fecal Occult Blood Test Medicare offers these Preventative Tests to determine if you have blood in your stool and/or suspected cancerous characteristics. ColoRectal  cancer (CRC) is the second most frequent cause of cancer DEATH in the United States.  The Most Frequent Cause of Cancer Death is…… Lung Cancer. This year, an estimated 145,600 adults in the United States will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. According to Cancer.net…… an estimated 51,020 of the 145,600 adults will die this year…..due to ColoRectal Cancer. When colorectal cancer is found early, it can often be cured. CURED Nation! This is due to improvements in treatment and increased screening….. which finds colorectal changes before they turn cancerous and cancer at earlier stages. Medicare Part B offers TWO Preventative Screening Tests The First…. Is a Fecal Occult Blood Test “Fecal Occult” Blood Test is just a scary way of saying….. “ Looking for Blood in your Poop.”  The test ONLY detects the “presence” or “absence” of blood in your stool. The test does not indicate potential sources of bleeding and it does not “Diagnos” disease. “Fecal” means……“Stool” or “Poop”….and…. “Occult Blood” means you can’t see the blood in your stool with the “naked eye,” so….. the specimen is sent to the lab for a closer look. Blood in the stool may indicate polyps…. or it may indicate cancer in the intestine or rectum….though not all cancers or polyps bleed. If blood is detected through the “Fecal Occult Blood Test,” additional tests may be needed to determine the source of bleeding as well as “diagnosing” an ailment or disease. Blood in the stool could also mean Hemorrhoids….which are swollen veins in the lowest part of your rectum and anus. Sometimes the walls of these blood vessels stretch so thin….. that the veins bulge and get irritated, especially when you poop! Straining while pooping is a major factor in Hemorrhoids.  EAT more Fiber Nation! Eat More Vegetables….try Metamucil or Miralax. Straining to poop is not good. Drink more water! You should try to drink at least 96 oz. a day. I use a 24oz bottle I fill 4 x a day….. to get my 96 oz of water. You can do it. It’s important. Hemorrhoids can cause itching & pain.  Hemorrhoids can also bleed. There are several types of Fecal Occult Blood Tests, I’m going to discuss the “newer version,” which is called a “ Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Test,” (aka iFOBT or FIT) The IFOBT or FIT test is less of a mess and easy to administer. Typically, you have a “spoon-like” device to collect the sample of stool and you place the device into a collection container then seal it. You either return the collection container to your doctor’s office, or you mail it. There are no dietary restriction with the iFOB-IT and the test can be performed on any random sample of your stool. Your Doctor will review the results and there are just two options: Negative Result, which means no blood was detected in the stool sample you provided. OR…….. Positive Result, which means blood WAS detected in the stool sample you provided.   This type of test ISN’T ALWAYS accurate. Your fecal occult blood test could show a negative test result when cancer is present (false-negative result) if your cancer or polyps don't bleed. If you had the test to screen for colon cancer and you're at average risk — you have no colon cancer risk factors other than age — your doctor may recommend waiting one year and then repeating the test.  If you have a “positive result,” You may need additional testing — such as a colonoscopy — to locate the source of the bleeding. Under Medicare…… The Fecal Occult Blood Test…. can be given ONCE every 12 months if you’re 50 or older, at ZERO Cost to you.        Now….. let’s take a look at Mult-Target Stool DNA Tests. You will know the “Multi-Target Stool DNA Test” more commonly known as “ColoGuard.” ColoGuard …….   addresses several barriers to colorectal screening. Patient concerns with colonoscopy. Include…having to schedule a separate and lengthy appointment at the testing facility. The need to undergo a “Stay Close to my Bathroom” bowel preparation the exposure to sedation or anesthesia……and the discomfort associated with an invasive imaging process…. Of sticking either the “colono-scope” during a colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoud device up your butt.   By comparison, the “Multi Target Stool DNA” screening test is a noninvasive, “multi-marker”, stool-based ColoRectal Cancer screening test….. that detects altered De-oxyribo-nucleic Acid (DNA), , as well as a fecal immunochemical test (FIT)… for blood released from cancer and precancerous lesions of the colon. The presence of fecal hemoglobin….. even in the absence of elevated DNA markers…..can lead to a positive result given the weighted nature of the Multi Target Stool DNA algorithm. Patients may collect and mail stool specimens from their homes with no bowel preparations and no dietary or medication restrictions.   Medicare covers this at-home multi-target stool DNA lab test…. once every 3 years…if you meet ALL of these conditions:   You’re  between the age of  50-85. You show NO CURRENT symptoms of colorectal disease including, but not limited to one of these: Lower gastrointestinal pain Blood in stool Positive Guaiac fecal occult blood test….which is an older version of the Immunochemical Test… where you “smear” stool onto a TEST Card with a wooden applicator or brush. The Guaiac test has dietary restrictions and you are required to collect “TWO” or more samples from the same Stool Sample for the test. Much Messier than the Immunochemical Fecal Blood Occult Test. OR…… A Positive Result from a Fecal Blood Occult Test ALSO    YOU NEED TO BE….. at average risk for developing colorectal cancer, meaning: You have no personal history of  (adenomateous ) polyps”  which are …..  a common type of polyp. They are gland-like growths that develop on the mucous membrane that lines the large intestine. They are also called adenomas: You have no personal history of  … colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s Disease and ulcerative colitis. OR…… You have no family history of colorectal cancers or adenomatous polyps, familial adenomatous polyposis, or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.   If you meet the above criteria….. You pay nothing for this test if your doctor…. or other qualified health care provider accepts Medicare.   So that’s the difference between Multi Target Stool DNA Tests vs. Fecal Occult Blood Test.   If you haven’t had one of these preventative tests, speak to your primary doctor and get one. It could very well SAVE YOUR LIFE!   If you have any questions about Medicare…. Send me an email to – Support@TheMedicareNation.com   I answer ALL my emails.

While you may feel it’s taboo to talk about the big B.M. (bowel movement), it’s actually a very important point of discussion in the Power Foods Lifestyle, and a topic I bring up frequently with my clients. I hope you have a great take-away from this information and say to yourself: “I need to listen to what’s going on in my body. Abnormal bowel movements and/or flatulence are my body saying, ‘Look, we have some problems. I can’t handle this.’ I need to change up what I’m eating to honor what it’s telling me.” Regular Bowel Movements BM happens in the first 2-3 hours of the day naturally Regular means 2-4x/day Well formed stools that are not difficult to pass There is not much wiping that needs to happen Dive right into the toilet bowl without much splash S-shaped as the lower part of the rectum is moving nutrients along well Should not be super stinky at all If you have constipation or diarrhea-like bowel movements, this episode is for YOU!!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started! Eliana: Hello, I would first like to say that I absolutely love your Podcasts and everything you have taught me thus far! I am a 21 year old personal trainer who is extremely interested in natural health and this podcast has changed my world! I have been struggling with a hiatal hernia for years. It feels like something is pressed up against my diaphragm or sometimes my left rib cage (it switches between those 2 places so sometimes I wonder if my diaphragm is out rather than it being a hiatal hernia). I have received chiropractic treatment for this and while the manual adjustment of pushing it back into place does help, it does not last. My mom, grandma, and twin sister also struggle with this. I had lymes disease 3-4 years ago (so did mom and sister) and was treated with a combination of homeopathy, Chinese herbs and glandulars by a lymes specialist in Maine. Also had H pylori and Epstein bar and was treated for those coinfections as well. Since then I feel great, had a feeling of relapse a year ago and cut out all food sensitivities. I feel great again but my hiatal hernia comes and goes in long phases. It is back now and I have not noticed any pattern to when it comes and goes. It causes me extreme stress and anxiety, especially at night. Also causes bloat. I have eaten extremely healthy (organic Whole Foods) since I was born thanks to my parents, and I pay attention to deficiencies, eat 3 meals a day, have a smoothie in the morning, fast for 12-13 hours, etc. I also exercise 5 days a week (lifting, cardio, mobility work, etc) and avoid crunching movements due to the hernia. I take zinc, B12, D3, and am a pescatarian/gluten, dairy, corn free, no processed foods, no antibiotics, don’t eat late at night, don’t overeat, eat tons of veggies and fruit. Please let me know what you know and suggest regarding hiatal hernias. Thank you so much! Christie: Good morning. Sorry for the long post but I’m hoping you can help. My mom started with diverticulosis in 2007 and in 2012 it became “moderate” diverticulitis. It got continually worse and then in 2017 she had a bowel resection done. They removed a foot of her colon. Ever since then she has dealt with horrible gas and constipation. She just had endoscopy done a few weeks ago because she felt like things weren’t passing through and the doctor said her stomach was red and inflamed but she does not have h. pylori. She also has Gastroparesis. The doctor then put her on Zantac two times a day for 4 weeks and Miralax at night. She also takes the Beachbody digestive boost. Her doctor has also mentioned putting her on Linzess. She can’t afford testing because my parents are retired and on a limited income so I’m wondering if you think doing a certain protocol would help her without testing first. Can you recommend anything? I would appreciate any suggestions. I’m not happy with how things are going for her and really want to see her healthy again.  Laura: Hi I have a couple of questions. I have only been listening for around a month so I may have just missed this. I haven’t heard dr Cabral talk much about beans and legumes, is the a reason why hey aren’t recommended or not at the top of the list! I’m primarily veggie and eat a lot of veg, however I do like to add lentils, beans or chickpeas to my food to add in protein and other nutrients! I was just interested to find out what your take is on this. Also, I’m going to start a naturopath nutritional therapy course in the UK next month so maybe I will find all this out for myself. However I have taken nutritional supplements before and I use to really be bought into juicing detoxing. However I have read various things that suggests that a supplements can actually shorten your life and aren’t as good as they seem. Also taking butrioanl shakes with condensed nutrients can actually be difficult for your body to digest all at once. For example you would eat a whole meal in a few minutes, therefore how is it ok for your body to process nutritional supplement shakes in such a short amount of time! Thanks Laura Katherine: Hi there, I'm from Windsor, Ontario, Canada and I'm wondering if there is a ND over here that you would recommend? I have benefits through my work that would cover my appointments so that's why I was wondering if Dr. Cabral would recommend someone over here? Thank you so much for your time, Katherine Meg: Hi Stephen, Being located in Australia, I don’t have easy access to wild salmon as all Australian salmon is farmed. Therefore I wanted your advice in regards to the best salmon choices. Would you recommend consuming wild tinned salmon over fresh farmed salmon? Is tinned salmon equally as nutritious? Renae: Hello Dr Cabral, My Mum was diagnosed with hemolytic anaemia a couple of years ago and has been taking pharmaceutical medication daily to manage this. We both believe that there must be a way of finding the root cause and getting to the bottom of it so that she can feel well and be medication free again. Other symptoms she experiences separate from the anaemia are under active thyroid, osteo arthritis, IBS, foggy brain and really bad memory loss. She is only 62. She has tried to improve on things like diet to help herself and has seen a naturopath briefly but has not seen a change in her blood levels or other symptoms. I gratefully discovered your work a few months ago and I am very hopeful that with your advice on what labs she should run and where to start that she can finally find her path to wellness again. In the meantime I have given her a copy of your book. I did write in to your team who recommended the HTMA and OAT (thank you team :)), however given this is not a common auto immune condition I just wanted to be sure if there were any other recommendations you would make. Huge gratitude for your work. Warmest regards, Renae. Julie: Do you have any protocols to address nighttime bed wetting in children? I have read that there may be imbalances or constipation that could cause this, but my pediatrician says it’s normal for boys and he will likely outgrow the issue (6 yr old boy) I have 3 children, 2 no longer had night time issues once potty trained and did not have to be “taught” to make it through the night.

I have noticed a theme when it comes to questions patients ask and have decided to address these questions by getting back to the basics. I’ll talk about the essential macronutrients, what they do for your body and why they’re so important to your digestion. Women specifically are not getting enough of some of these nutrients and this is a huge reason why women get hot flashes and other issues I talk about.

Children the world over are fascinated with what can possibly “fit” in their orifices.  Diagnosis is often delayed.  Anxiety abounds before and during evaluation and management.     Most common objects:1,2 Food Coins Toys Insects Balls, marbles Balloons Magnets Crayon Hair accessories, bows Beads Pebbles Erasers Pen/marker caps Button batteries Plastic bags, packaging Non-pharmacologic techniques Set the scene and control the environment.  Limit the number of people in the room, the noise level, and minimize “cross-talk”.  The focus should be on engaging, calming, and distracting the child. Quiet room; calm parent; “burrito wrap”; guided imagery; have a willing parent restrain the child in his or her lap – an assistant can further restrain the head. Procedural Sedation Most foreign bodies in the ear, nose, and throat in children can be managed with non-pharmacologic techniques, topical aids, gentle patient protective restraint, and a quick hand.  Consider sedation in children with special health care needs who may not be able to cooperate and technically delicate extractions.  Ketamine is an excellent agent, as airway reflexes are maintained.3  Remember to plan, think ahead: where could the foreign body may be displaced if something goes wrong?  You may have taken away his protective gag reflex with sedation.  Position the child accordingly to prevent precipitous foreign body aspiration or occlusion. L’OREILLE – DAS OHR – вухо – THE EAR – LA OREJA – 耳 – L'ORECCHIO Essential anatomy: The external auditory canal. Foreign bodies may become lodged in the narrowing at the bony cartilaginous junction.4  The lateral 1/3 of the canal is flexible, while the medial 2/3 is fixed in the temporal bone – here is where many foreign bodies are lodged and/or where the clinician may find evidence of trauma.  Pearls: Ask yourself: is it graspable or non-graspable?5 Graspable: 64% success rate, 14% complication rate Non-graspable: 45% success rate, 70% complication rate5 If there is an insect in the external auditory canal, kill it first. They will fight for their lives if you try to dismember or take them out.  “In the heat of battle, the patient can become terrorized by the noise and pain and the instrument that you are using is likely to damage the ear canal.”5,6  Use lidocaine jelly (preferred), viscous lidocaine (2%), lidocaine solution (2 or 4%), isopropyl alcohol, or mineral oil. Vegetable matter? Don’t irrigate it – the organic material will swell against the fixed structure, and cause more pain, make it much harder to extract, and may increase the risk of infection. Pifalls: Failure to inspect after removal – is there something else in there? Failure to assess for abrasions, trauma, infection – if any break in skin, give prophylactic antibiotic ear drops Law of diminishing returns: probability of successful removal of ear foreign bodies declines dramatically after the first attempt   LE NEZ – DIE NASE – ніс – THE NOSE – LA NARIZ – 鼻 – IL NASO Essential anatomy: Nasopharyngeal and tracheal anatomy. Highlighted areas indicate points at which nasal foreign bodies may become lodged.4 Pearls: Consider using topical analgesics and vasoconstrictors to reduce pain and swelling – and improve tolerance of/cooperation with the procedure. Use 0.5% oxymetolazone (Afrin) spray and a few drops of 2 or 4%   Pros: as above.  Cons: possible posterior displacement of the foreign body.7 Be ready for the precipitous development of an airway foreign body Pitfalls: Beware of unilateral nasal discharge in a child – strongly consider retained foreign body.8 Do not push a foreign body down the back of a patient's throat, where it may be aspirated into the trachea. Be sure to inspect the palate for “vacuum effect”: small or flexible objects may be found on the roof of the mouth, just waiting to be aspirated.   LA GORGE – DER HALS – горло – THE THROAT – LA GARGANTA – 喉 – LA GOLA Before we go further – Remember that a foreign body in the mouth or throat can precipitously become a foreign body in the airway.  Foreign body inhalation is the most common cause of accidental death in children less than one year of age.9,10 Go to BLS maneuvers if the child decompensates. Infants under 1 year of age – back blows: head-down, 5 back-blows (between scapulae), 5 chest-thrusts (sternum).  Reassess, repeat as needed. Children 1 year and up, conscious – Heimlich maneuver: stand behind patient with arms positioned under the patient’s axilla and encircling the chest. The thumb side of one fist should be placed on the abdomen below the xiphoid process. The other hand should be placed over the fist, and 5 upward-inward thrusts should be performed. This maneuver should be repeated if the airway remains obstructed.  Alternatively, if patient is supine, open the airway, and if the object is readily visible, remove it.  Abdominal thrusts: place the heel of one hand below the xiphoid, interlace fingers, and use sharp, forceful thrusts to dislodge.  Be ready to perform CPR. Children 1 year and up, unconscious – CPR: start CPR with chest compressions (do not perform a pulse check). After 30 chest compressions, open the airway. If you see a foreign body, remove it but do not perform blind finger sweeps because they may push obstructing objects further into the pharynx and may damage the oropharynx.  Attempt to give 2 breaths and continue with cycles of chest compressions and ventilations until the object is expelled. Chest films are limited: 80% of airway foreign bodies are radiolucent.11  Look for unilateral hyperinflation on expiratory films: air trapping.  Essential anatomy: Most esophageal foreign bodies in children occur at the level of the thoracic inlet / cricopharyngeus muscle (upper esophageal sphincter).  Other anatomically narrow sites include the level of the aortic arch and the lower esophageal sphincter. Coin en face – in the esophagus – lodged at the thoracic inlet.12  The pliable esophagus accommodates the flat coin against the flat aspect of the vertebra.11 Beware the “double-ring” sign: this is a button battery13 This is an emergency: the electrolyte-rich mucosa conducts a focal current from the narrow negative terminal of the battery, rapidly causing burn, necrosis, and possibly perforation.  Emergent removal is required. Button batteries that have passed into the stomach do not require emergent intervention – they can be followed closely. Not a button battery, not a sharp object, not a long object? If there is no obstruction, consider revaluation the next day – may wait up to 24 hours for passage.14  Sharieff et al.15 found that coins found in the mid to distal esophagus within 24 hours all passed successfully. What conditions prompt urgent removal? Size Infants: objects smaller than 2 cm wide and 3 cm long will likely pass the pylorus and ileocecal valve10 Children and adults: objects smaller than 2 cm wide and 5 cm long will likely pass the pylorus and ileocecal valve9 Character Sharp objects have a high rate of perforation (35%)1 Pearls: History is essential. Believe the parents and assume there is an aspirated/ingested foreign body until proven otherwise. History of choking, has persistent symptoms and/or abnormal xray? Broncoscopy! Cohen et al.16 found that of 142 patients evaluated at a single site university hospital, 61 had a foreign body. Of the 61 patients, 42 had abnormal physical exams and radiographs and 17 had either abnormal physical exams or radiographs, and 2 had normal physical exams and radiographs, but both had a history of persistent cough.  Bottom line: history of choking PLUS abnormal exam, abnormal films, or persistent symptoms, evaluate with bronchoscopy. For patients with some residual suspicion of an aspirated foreign body (mild initial or improving symptoms; possibly abnormal chest x-ray; low but finite risk), consider chest CT with virtual bronchoscopy as a rule-out strategy.17,18 Outpatients who have passed a small and non-concerning object into the stomach or beyond: serial exams and observing stools – polyethylene glycol 3350 (MiraLAX) may be given for delayed passage19 Pifalls: A single household magnet will likely pass through the GI tract, with the aforementioned dimensional caveats. Two or more magnets, however, run the risk of attraction and trans-bowel wall pressure necrosis. Not all magnets are created equal. Neodymium magnet toys (“buckyballs”) were recalled in 2014 (but are still out there!) due to their highly attractive nature.  These magnets must be removed to avoid bowel wall ischemia. 19–21 Patients should avoid wearing belt buckles or metallic buttons in case of single magnet ingestion while waiting for the single magnet to pass DES OUTILS DU MÉTIER – DIE HANDWERKSZEUG – Знаряддя праці – TOOLS OF THE TRADE – LAS HERRAMIENTAS DEL OFICIO – GLI ATTREZZI DEL MESTIERE –  仕事のツール It’s best to keep your armamentarium as large as you can.   Curette A small foreign body in the lateral 1/3 of the auditory canal may be amenable to a simple curettage.  Hair beads (if the central hole is accessible) may be manipulated out with the angled tip of a rigid curette.  Steady the operating hand by placing your hypothenar eminence on the child’s zygoma or temporal scalp, to avoid jutting the instrument into the ear canal with sudden movement.  There is a large selection of disposable simple and lighted curettes on the market. Right-angle Hook Various eponymous hooks are available for this purpose; one in popular use is the Day hook, which may be passed behind the foreign body.22  An inexpensive and convenient alternative to the commercially available right-hooks is a home-made version: make your own by straightening out a paperclip and bending it to a right angle23 at 2-3 mm from the end (be sure not to use the type that have a friable shiny metallic finish, as the residue may be left behind in the ear canal).  If it is completely lodged, use of a right-angle hook will likely only cause trauma to the canal. Alligator forceps Alligator forceps are best for grasping soft objects like cotton or paper.  Smooth, round or oval objects are not amenable to extraction with alligator forceps.  When using them, be sure to get a firm, central grip on the object, to avoid tearing it into smaller, less manageable pieces.  Pro tip: Look before you grip! Be careful to visualize the area you are gripping, to avoid pulling on (and subsequently avulsing) soft tissue in the ear canal. Cyanoacrylate (Dermabond®, SurgiSeal®) Apply cyanoacrylate to either side of a long wooden cotton swab (the lecturer prefers the cotton tip side, for improved grip/molding around object).  Immediately apply the treated side to the object in the ear canal in a restrained patient.  Steady the hypothenar eminence on the child’s face to avoid dislodgement of the cotton swab with sudden movement.  Apply the treated swab to the foreign body for 30-60 seconds, to allow bonding.  Slowly pull out the foreign body.  Re-visualize the ear canal for other retained foreign bodies and abrasion or ear canal trauma. Did the cyanoacrylate drip?  Did the swab stick to the ear canal? No problem – use 3% hydrogen peroxide or acetone.24  Pour in a sufficient amount, allow to work for 10 minutes.  Both agents help to dissolve ear wax, the compound, or both.  Repeat if needed to debond the cyanoacrylate from the ear canal.24,25 Irrigation Irrigation is the default for non-organic foreign bodies that are not amenable to other extraction techniques.  Sometimes the object is encased in cerumen, and the only “instrument” that will fit behind the foreign body is the slowly growing trickle of water that builds enough pressure to expulse it.  Do not use if there is any organic material involved: the object will swell, causing much more pain, difficulty in extraction, and possibly setting up conditions for infection. Position the child either prone or supine, gently restrain (as above).  Let gravity work for you: don’t irrigate in decubitus position with the affected ear up.  It may be more accessible to you, but you may never get the foreign body out. To use a butterfly needle: use a small gage (22 or 24 g) butterfly set up, cut off the needle, connect the tubing to a 30 mL syringe filled with warm or room-temperature water. Insert the free end of the tubing gently, and “secure” the tubing with your pinched fingers while irrigating (think of holding an ETT in place just after intubation and before taping/securing the tube).  Gently and slowly increase the pressure you exert as you irrigate. To use an IV or angiocatheter: use a moderate size (18 or 20 g) IV, remove the needle and attach the plastic catheter to a 20 mL syringe, and irrigate as above. Acetone Acetone has been used successfully to remove chewing gum, Styrofoam, and superglue from the ear canal24,26,27  Use in cases where there is no suspicion of perforation of the tympanic membrane. Docusate Sodium (Colace®) Cerumen is composed of sebaceous ad ceruminous secretions and desquamated skin.  Genetic, environmental, and anatomical factors combine to trap a foreign body in the external canal.  Use of a ceruminolytic such as docusate sodium may help to loosen and liberate the foreign body.28  Caveat medicus: Adding docusate sodium will make the object more slippery – this may or may not be an issue given the nature of the foreign body. In the case where loosening the ear wax may aid extraction (and will not cause a slippery mess), consider filling the ear canal will docusate sodium (Colace), having the child lie with the affected side up, waiting 15 minutes, and proceeding.  This is especially helpful when planning for irrigation. Magnets Rare earth magnets (a misnomer, as their components are actually abundant) such as neodymium can be useful in retrieving metallic foreign bodies (e.g. button batteries in the nose or ears).29,30  Magnetic “pick-up tools” – used by mechanics, engineers, and do-it-yourselfers – are inexpensive and readily available in various sizes, shapes, and styles such as a telescoping extender.  Look for a small tip diameter (to fit in the ear canal as well as the nose) and a strong “hold” (at least a 3-lb hold). Alternatively, you may purchase a strong neodymium bar magnet (30- to 50-lb hold) to attach to an instrument such as an alligator forceps, pick-up forceps, or small hemostat (a pacemaker magnet may also work).  The magnetic bar, placed in your palm at the base of the instrument, will conduct the charge (depending on the instrument) and allow you to retrieve many metallic objects.31  Although stainless steel is often said to be “non-magnetic”, it depends on the alloy used, and some may actually respond to the strong rare earth magnet.  Most stainless steel has a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which gives the steel its 'stainless' properties (essentially corrosion resistance).  A basic stainless steel has a “ferritic” structure and is magnetic.  Higher-end stainless steel such as in kitchen cutlery have an “austenitic” structure, with more chromium added, and so less magnetic quality.  (Ironically, the more “economical” instruments in the typical ED suture kit have less chromium, and so are more magnetic – use these with your neodymium bar magnet to conduct the magnetic charge and extract the metallic foreign body.) Bottom line: if it’s metal, it’s worth a try to use a magnet.  Even if the metal is very weakly magnetic, the strong neodymium magnet may still be able to exert a pull on it and aid in extraction. Snare Technique A relatively new method, described by Fundakowski et al.32 consists of using a small length of 24-gauge (or similar) wire (available inexpensively online, and kept in your personal “toolkit”; see Appendix B below) to make a loop that is secured by a hemostat (the 24-gauge wire is easily cut into strips with standard trauma scissors).  After treatment with oxymetolazone (0.05%) and lidocaine (1 or 2%) topically, the loop is passed behind the foreign body (in the case report, a button battery).  Pull the loop toward you until you feel that it is sitting up against the button battery.  Now, turn the hemostat 90° to improve your purchase on the foreign body.  Pull gently out.  This technique is especially useful when the foreign body has created marked edema, either creating a vacuum effect or making it difficult for other instruments to pass. Balloon Catheters (Katz extractor®, Fogarty embolectomy catheter) Small-caliber devices (5, 6, or 8 F) originally designed for use with intravascular or bladder catheterization may be used to extract foreign bodies from the ear or nose.7,33  A catheter designed specifically for foreign body use is the Katz extractor.  Inspect the ear or nose for potential trauma and to anticipate bleeding after manipulation (especially the nose).  Deflate the catheter and apply surgical lubricant or 2% lidocaine jelly. Insert the deflated catheter and gently pass the device past the foreign body.  Inflate the balloon and slowly pull the balloon and foreign body out.  Re-inspect after extraction. NB, from the manufacturer of the Katz extractor, InHealth: “the Katz Extractor oto-rhino foreign body remover is intended principally for extraction of impacted foreign bodies in the nasal passages. This device may also be used in the external ear canal, based upon clinical judgment.” Mother’s kiss The mother’s kiss was first described in 1965 by Vladimir Ctibor, a general practitioner from New Jersey.34 “The mother, or other trusted adult, places her mouth over the child’s open mouth, forming a firm seal as if about to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. While occluding the unaffected nostril with a finger, the adult then blows until feeling resistance caused by closure of the child’s glottis, at which point the adult gives a sharp exhalation to deliver a short puff of air into the child’s mouth. This puff of air passes through the nasopharynx, out through the non-occluded nostril and, if successful, results in the expulsion of the foreign body. The procedure is fully explained to the adult before starting, and the child is told that the parent will give him or her a “big kiss” so that minimal distress is caused to the child. The procedure can be repeated a number of times if not initially successful.”34 Positive Pressure Ventilation with Bag Valve Mask This technique is an approximation of the above mother’s kiss technique – useful for unwilling parents or unsuccessful tries.10,25  The author prefers to position the child sitting up.  A self-inflating bag-mask device is fitted with a very small mask: use an abnormally small mask (otherwise inappropriately small for usual resuscitative bag-mask ventilation) to fit over the mouth only.  Choose an infant mask that will cover the child’s mouth only.  Occlude the opposite nostril with your finger while you form a tight seal with the mask around the mouth. Deliver short, abrupt bursts of ventilation through the mouth – be sure to maintain good seals with the mask and with your finger to the child’s nostril – until the foreign body is expulsed through the affected nostril. Beamsley Blaster (Continuous Positive Pressure) Technique For the very uncooperative child with a nasal foreign body amenable to positive pressure ventilation who fails the mother’s kiss and bag-mask technique, a continuous positive pressure method may be used. Connect one end of suction tubing to the male adaptor (“Christmas tree”) of an air or oxygen source.  Connect the other end of the suction tubing to a male-to-male adaptor (commonly used for chest tube connections or connecting / extending suction tubes).  Insert the end of the device into the child’s unaffected nostril.  The air flow will deliver positive pressure ventilation continuously. With this technique there is a theoretical risk of barotrauma to the lungs or tympanic membranes.  However, there is only one case reported in the literature of periorbital subcutaneous emphysema. To minimize this risk, some authors recommend limiting to a maximum of four attempts using any positive pressure method.10 Nasal speculum Optimize your visualization with a nasal speculum.  The nostrils, luckily, will accommodate a fair amount of distention without damage.  Hold the speculum vertically to avoid pressure on and damage to the vessel-and-nerve-rich nasal septum.  Hold the handle of the speculum in the palm of your hand comfortably and while placing your index finger on the patient’s ala.  This will help to control the speculum and your angle of sight. Your other hand is then free to use a hook or other tool for extraction. Lighting is especially important when using the nasal speculum: a focused procedure light or head lamp is very helpful.  The author keeps a common camping LED headlamp in his bag for easy access. Suction tips / catheters Various commercial and non-commercial suction devices are on the market for removal of foreign bodies.  All connect to wall suction, and vary by style, caliber of suction, and tip end interface.  A commonly available suction catheter is the Frazier suction tip (right), a single-use device used in the operating room. A modification to suction can be made with the Schuknecht foreign body remover (left; not to be confused with the suction catheter of the same name): a plastic cone-shaped tip placed on the end of the suction catheter to increase vacuum surface area and seal.  Laryngoscope and Magill Forceps If a child aspirates and occludes his airway, return to BLS maneuvers (as above).  If the child becomes obtunded, use direct laryngoscopy to visualize the foreign body and remove with the Magill forceps.  Hold the laryngoscope in your left hand as per usual.  Hold the Magill forceps in your right hand – palm side down – to grasp and remove the foreign body.  Take-home Points  Beware the “vacuum palate”: a flat (especially clear plastic) foreign body hiding on the palate Take seriously the complaint of foreign body without obvious evidence on initial inspection – believe that something is in there until proven otherwise Control the environment, address analgesia and anxiolysis, have a back-up plan Motto Like a difficult airway: plan through the steps MERCI – DANKE – Дякую – THANK YOU – GRACIAS –  ありがとう— GRAZIE Appendix A: Prevention At the end of the visit, after some rapport has been established, counsel the caregivers about age-appropriate foods and “child-proofing” the home.  This is a teachable moment – and only you can have this golden opportunity! Age-appropriate foods 0-6 months: breastmilk or formula 6-9 months: introduce solid puree-consistency foods 9-12 months: small minced solids that require no chewing (well cooked, soft, chopped foods) Although molars (required for chewing) erupt around 18 months, toddlers need to develop coordination, awareness to eat hard foods that require considerable chewing. Not until 4 years of age (anything that requires chewing to swallow):             Hot dogs             Nuts and seeds             Chunks of meat or cheese             Whole grapes             Hard or sticky candy             Popcorn             Chunks of peanut butter             Chunks of raw vegetables             Chewing gum Child-proofing the home Refer parents to the helpful multi-lingual site from the American Academy of Pediatrics: http://www.healthychildren.org/English/safety-prevention/at-home/Pages/Childproofing-Your-Home.aspx An abbreviated list: use age-appropriate toys and “test” them out before giving them to your child to verify that there are no small, missing, or loose parts.  Secure medications, lock up cabinets (especially with chemicals), do not store chemicals in food containers, secure the toilet bowl, and unplug appliances. Parents should understand that “watching” their child alone cannot prevent foreign body aspiration: a recent review found that in 84.2% of cases, incidents resulting in an airway foreign body occurred in the presence of an adult.35 Best overall tip: get down on all fours and inspect your living area from the child’s perspective.  It is amazing what you will find when you are least expecting it. Appendix B: The Playbook's ENT Foreign Body Toolkit Although your institution should supply you with what you need to deal with routine problems, we all struggle with having just what we need when we need it.  High-volume disposable items such as cyanoacrylate (Dermabond), curettes, supplies for irrigation, alligator forceps, and the like certainly should be supplied by the institution.  However, some things come in very handy as our back-up tools. NB: we should be cognizant of the fact that tools that must be sterilized or autoclaved are not good candidates for our personal re-usable toolkits. These items can all be found inexpensively – shop around online, or in home improvement stores: Head lamp, LED camping style: $5-15 Neodymium magnet “pick-up tool”: $5-15 Neodymium bar magnet: $6-20 Wire, 24-gauge, spool of 25 yards (for snare technique): $6 Day hook: $15-20 References Chapin MM, Rochette LM, Annest JL, Haileyesus T, Conner KA, Smith GA.
