In this episode, we detail the role of vitamin B1 (thiamine) in supporting gastrointestinal function, highlighting intestinal motility through vitamin B1's involvement in acetyl-CoA and acetylcholine synthesis. We discuss thiamine insufficiency as well as how small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can further affect thiamine availability. We further detail host defense mechanisms—including gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and gastrointestinal motility—that work in concert to regulate microbial balance in the small intestine.Topics: 1. Introduction- Focus on SIBO, intestinal motility, and vitamin B1 (thiamine) 2. Small Intestine and Microbial Regulation- Low bacterial load under healthy conditions - Protective mechanisms: gastric acid, enzymes, motility… 3. Overview of SIBO Subtypes - H₂-SIBO, hydrogen-producing bacteria - IMO, methane-producing archaea - H₂S-SIBO, hydrogen sulfide-producing bacteria - Subtypes can coexist, share underlying factors 4. Host Factors in Microbial Regulation - Gastric acid, motility, pancreatic enzymes, bile acids, and immune surveillance 5. Gastric Acid and Parietal Cells - Hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor - Acid environment supports digestion and microbial regulation - Protein denaturation and pepsin activation 6. Chief Cells and Enzyme Function - Pepsinogen and gastric lipase - Pepsinogen activated by acidic pH 7. Hypochlorhydria and Downstream Effects 8. Pancreatic Enzymes in the Small Intestine 9. Intestinal Motility and the Enteric Nervous System (ENS)- Coordinated smooth muscle contractions - Myenteric and submucosal plexuses 10. Intestinal Wall Anatomy - Epithelium and lamina propria - Submucosa contains the submucosal plexus - Myenteric plexus located between muscle layers 11. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Gastrointestinal Function - Acetylcholine synthesized from choline and acetyl-CoA - Acetyl-CoA formation, thiamine availability - Acetylcholine signaling 12. SIBO and Nutrient Availability- Bacterial overgrowth can affect nutrient absorption - Thiaminases 13. Conclusion - Root cause approach, multi-factorial Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

In this episode, we detail the cellular make-up of the gastric lining, highlighting hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion and its role in digestion, micronutrient absorption, and microbial defense. We discuss potential pathophysiological consequences of hypochlorhydria, including impaired digestive signaling, bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine (SIBO), and more. Lastly, we detail upstream microbial control, focusing on the influence of the oral microbiome and oral dysbiosis.Topics: 1. Introduction- Highlighting the stomach and hypochlorhydria / low stomach acid, as well as microbial balance, dysbiosis, and overgrowth.- Discussion of intestinal microbiome and oral microbiome. 2. Gastric Anatomy and Mucosal Layers- The stomach: cardia, fundus, body, pylorus.- The gastric mucosa: epithelial lining, lamina propria, muscularis mucosae.- The epithelial layer: mucous cells, parietal cells, chief cells, enteroendocrine cells.- Beneath the mucosa: submucosa and muscular layers that contribute to gastric motility, mechanical digestion, and more. 3. Mucous Cells - The surface epithelium and gastric pits.- Secretion of thick, viscous mucus.- Protecting the epithelium.- The mucus traps bicarbonate ions: neutral microenvironment that protects against acid-induced damage. 4. Parietal Cells and Gastric Acid Secretion- Secretion of hydrochloric acid (HCl): denatures dietary proteins, sterilizes ingested food.- Parietal cells produce intrinsic factor: binds vitamin B12 to facilitate absorption in the ileum. 5. Chief Cells and Pepsinogen- Secretion of pepsinogen: activated by low pH into the proteolytic enzyme pepsin.- Pepsin and protein digestion.- Release of gastric lipase. 6. Hydrochloric Acid: Digestive and Protective Roles- Immune defense.- Pepsinogen activation.- Adequate gastric acidity essential for properly acidified chyme.- Priming release of bile and pancreatic enzymes. 7. The Small Intestine, Stomach, and Microbial Regulation- The pyloric sphincter.- The stomach supports minimal microbial diversity.- Acidic barrier aids in limiting the entry of opportunistic microbes into the small intestine. 8. Hypochlorhydria, Low Stomach Acid- Hypochlorhydria can compromise one of the body's defense mechanisms.- Colonization of the small intestine.- Insufficient pepsinogen activation and possible protein digestion impairment.- Suboptimal chyme formation and downstream digestive capacity.- Possible symptoms of hypochlorhydria.- Possible impaired absorption of micronutrients including vitamin B12, iron, calcium, magnesium.- H. pylori infection, autoimmunity, aging. 9. The Oral Microbiome, Intestinal Microbiome, and Dysbiosis- Oral and environmental microbes.- Altered gastric pH, bile, digestive enzymes, and more.- The oral cavity as the gateway to the GI tract.- Oral microbial species.- Oral hygiene and oral microbiome health. 10. Conclusion- Root-cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsor:1. Shop Fresh Press Farms'Peach Cider Vinegar at Sprouts locations nationwide, and check out their full collection here.

Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers
In this week's episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about the often-overlooked role of the diaphragm. I bring this topic up because I see it often in my NFL athletes around this point in their season and how diaphragm stiffness starts to affect their performance. In the episode, you'll hear me talk about diaphragm anatomy and function, how stiffness of the diaphragm can lead to limited thoracic mobility and pain, and give you practical exercises that I use with my athletes to improve their diaphragm mobility. Regardless if you work with athletes or not, this episode can give you a lot of insight on understanding and treating the diaphragm if you think it's contributing to your client's thoracic spine or T6 costovertebral joint pain.Resources Mentioned In This EpisodeEpisode 48: Small Intestine and Mesenteric RootsVideo: Prone Breathing w/ Coregeous Ball Video: Diaphragmatic Breathing / VacuumVideo: DaVinci RollingVideo: Segmental BridgeLearn the LTAP™ In-Person in one of my upcoming coursesConsidering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

Advice for what to look for in CLINICAL EXPERIENCE and EVIDENCE-BASED STUDIES. 06:11 URIC ACID LEVELS - What is optimal, and is this necessary to keep an eye on this? 08:18:20 HEMOGLOBIN and its role in transporting IRON - Hemoglobin is a type of protein in your red blood cells that distributes the oxygen you breathe to muscles and tissues throughout your body. Without oxygen, your muscles would not have the energy they need to function normally.Hemoglobin also picks up carbon dioxide and returns it to your lungs for you to exhale. This essential process helps prevent toxic levels of carbon dioxide. 09:31 HEME IRON & PLANT-BASED IRON - how sourcing & BIOAVAILABILITY affects your body's iron levels and associated symptoms of deficiency. 11:07 Why VEGANS require more Vitamin C than carnivores! 16:39 FERRITIN is a BLOOD PROTEIN that stores iron. You usually get a ferritin blood test because your doctor suspects you have too little or too much iron in your body. Ferritin is everywhere - even in your bones! MUCOSAL FERRITIN exists within your SMALL INTESTINE which is stripped away regularly, especially by a plant based diet especially if it's high in fiber. 18:50 DO YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS of IRON DEFICIENCY or IRON OVERLOAD? You could be experiencing WEAK, TIRED, LOW SEX DRIVE, LACK OF INTEREST IN SEX, or TROUBLE WITH ERECTIONS? Foggy memory? Heart palpitations?

Coffees, teas, nicotine, and life stressors that may lead to heart palpitations and general advice on how to troubleshoot where this issue comes from. 46:16 Stephen's opinion on Lakanto Liquid Monk Fruit Extract Drops - Zero Calorie, Zero Sugar, Keto Drink Sweetener 47:59 QUESTION #1 - Donald, from London, UK. Questions around simple carbohydrates vs. artificially sweetened pre workout supplements concerning performance and fat adaptation. 53:55 Artificially-sweetened feeds and beverage that trigger a CEPHALIC RESPONSE - Tasting sweet food elicits insulin release prior to increasing plasma glucose levels, known as cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR). The characteristic of CPIR is that plasma insulin secretion occurs before the rise of the plasma glucose level.
So which is it? The length of our small intestines or the shortness of our colon that shows that our gastro-intestinal tract is most like carnivores. Or is how our stomach is laid out? Not only will you find this interesting to know, but, that deciding on a ‘Gut - appropriate' diet will also change your mental health and is used for Autistic children as well. ——————————— OUR COURSE —————————— PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge————WHERE WE GET OUR GENOME SNP ANALYSIS DONE—————Strategene https://bit.ly/3iqCfka ——————————WHERE WE GET YOUR LABS DONE—————https://www.UltaLabTests.com/ketonaturopath ————————— WHERE WE BUY OUR SUPPLEMENTS ——————https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/drgoldkamp/signupWhy get a Fullscript account to get your supplements?? 1.

Send us a textWhen it comes to iron deficiency, simply taking an iron supplement isn't always the solution. One key piece of the puzzle that's often overlooked is iron absorption. Without proper absorption, even the best iron-rich foods or supplements won't have the desired impact on your iron levels. In this episode, I dive into the importance of iron absorption and how you can improve your body's ability to absorb this essential mineral. In this episode, I discuss:How iron is absorbed in the body and the key factors that support optimal absorption.The importance of stomach acid in iron absorption and the common factors that can negatively impact stomach acid levels.Why taking iron every day may not be the best approach for everyone.The significance of choosing the right form of iron in a supplement and why more iron isn't always better.Why individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more prone to iron deficiency and what to consider for proper management.The difference between haem and non-haem sources of iron, and how to make sure you're getting enough from your diet. If you've been struggling with low iron levels despite taking supplements or eating iron-rich foods, this episode will help you understand what might be going wrong and give you practical tips to support your body's iron absorption.Episode Links: Download our free Kids Gut Health e-bookBook an appointment with one of our NaturopathsEpisode 113: Iron Deficiency in Children Episode 141: Exploring the Connection Between Fussy Eating, Constipation, and Iron Deficiency in ChildrenThis episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.

Ever wonder what insights could be gained from small intestine bacterial overgrowth testing when you've got IBS gut symptoms?Last week, Dr. Ken Brown and I discussed various reasons why Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a problematic diagnosis that has become a “catch-all” for any digestive symptoms. We also spoke about how SIBO inflammation can spread to other body systems including skin rashes like rosacea.In today's episode, we will dive into the reason why small bacterial overgrowth testing should be run by gastroenterologists. AND how it can lead to clarity on the type of SIBO you're struggling with (and may explain your constipation or diarrhea). Plus, SIBO constipation can lead to unwanted side effects that, unfortunately, worsen long-term constipation!And if you are struggling with SIBO symptoms and want to know how to get better, we'll also dive into conventional and natural SIBO treatment options.My friend and SIBO expert Dr. Ken Brown is back for Part 2 of this interview! He's a board-certified gastroenterologist and has been in practice for over 15 years with a clinical focus on inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Known as the host of the podcast “Gut Check Project”, Dr. Brown's mission is to bridge the gap between medical & natural science, leading to attainable improvements in quality of life for all.For over a decade, he conducted clinical research for various pharma companies but is now focused on natural solution product development for KBMD Health and KBS Research. Dr. Brown has a clinical and research practice based in Plano, Texas. And he is the creator of ATRANTIL, this FIRST proven solution for IBS and bloating, now available in over 20 countries.In This Episode:Methane versus hydrogen gas production (and associated SIBO symptoms)Can laxatives improve SIBO constipation?Can you become addicted to laxatives?Conventional and natural SIBO treatment optionsBenefits of polyphenols in a SIBO dietHow Atrantil could help your SIBO symptoms (as an alternative SIBO treatment option)Quotes“If somebody comes in and they sound like SIBO, and they eat a meal, and they bloat, that tells me that there's SIBO going on in the small bowel.”“If we were to look at what makes vegetables and fruits healthy for you, we know that they have insoluble fiber, they do have some vitamins, but the primary reason is these polyphenols, the things that make the fruits and vegetables colorful.”LinksFind Dr. Ken Brown Podcast | Instagram | TiktokGET ATRANTIL HERE!!TRY DR.

The gut microbiome is an important ecosystem of microbes that lives in each one of us, and its strength affects our overall health.However, the small intestine is an underappreciated part of the gut microbiome. Most of the research into our microbiomes has focused on the other end of the gastrointestinal tract, namely, the colon. And poop samples are an easy way to analyze the microbiome in that lower part of the gut.Better understanding microbiome disruptions in the small intestines may allow researchers to better understand disorders like irritable bowel syndrome, and celiac disease. Dr. Christopher Damman, associate professor of gastroenterology at the University of Washington, gives SciFri producer Kathleen Davis a crash course in the microbiome of the small intestine.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This is a 2-part interview coming next week so stay tuned!Did you know that many people diagnosed with IBS actually have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)?SIBO is unfortunately a rather under-diagnosed condition impacting your gut that often leads people to struggle for very long periods (sometimes several years!) without a clear answer of what's going on beyond just being told “you have IBS.”To be clear, digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea are not normal and can make you miserable. And being told that irritable bowel syndrome explains everything away isn't really all that helpful especially if you experience severe bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and/or gas – all of which can wreck your life and create food fear (as you try to avoid whatever triggers an issue).While small intestine bacterial overgrowth is slowly but surely becoming more accepted amongst doctors, we're still learning more about the different triggers of SIBO symptoms and how it can impact other body systems like your skin (especially for those dealing with rosacea).My friend and SIBO expert Dr. Ken Brown joins me today! He's a board-certified gastroenterologist and has been in practice for over 15 years with a clinical focus on inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

And when people come to me, they're like, well, I'm told I have IBS. I'm like, IBS, in my mind, should be viewed as the warning sign. And the most common symptom is bloating. So what I tell my patients is the bloating you're experiencing, although you think it's normal, because it's been normalized either by you accepting it or a doctor saying, it's perfectly fine, you have to live with it, that's the warning sign that you have gut inflammation.”“The skin is the outward manifestation. The skin is another warning sign, including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis. All of these things can actually start in the gut, and the skin is trying to say, hey, it's not right, something is wrong. And I do see a lot of people with skin issues.

Tune in to learn more!This week, Jenn is talking with certified health coach Lindsey Parsons about all things gut health. Lindsey walks through her story of dealing with chronic SIBO, as well as common GI upset such as candida, IBD, IBS, and more. She discusses how to handle bloating and how to understand the root cause of it. Lindsey explains what the “perfect stool” is and how to recognize if your stool might be off due to a larger issue. Jenn and Lindsey talk about weight loss resistance and fat loss resistance and how it is all connected to what's happening within the gut. Tune in to learn more about gut health, probiotics, fiber and more! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: ● [3:47] How did Lindsey get started with her specialty of stool and gut health? ● [5:40] Lindsey talks about the connection between gut health and the immune system/autoimmune issues.● [8:40] How do you handle bloating and what is the cause of it? ● [11:52] How do you manage chronic diarrhea or constipation? ● [13:37] What is the “perfect stool”?● [17:00] How is weight loss resistance or fat loss resistance connected to what's happening in the gut? ● [19:03] How does candida tie in to gut issues?● [22:02] What is slow motility in the small intestine and large intestine? ● [22:46] How do you know when you should add more fiber in your diet?● [25:32] When should you use probiotics? ● [28:05] How can people go about testing on their own?● [28:57] Lindsey talks about a few more items that help the gut. KEY TAKEAWAYS: ● [5:59] For an autoimmune issue to become active, generally the body has to become weakened in order for the autoimmune issue to flare up. This could be leaky gut or intestinal hyperpermeability, or a gut infection. ● [9:58] If you suspect that you have GI issues, first start with a gastroenterologist to clear any major issues such as cancer. Once that is cleared, then you test with a gastroenterologist who is educated in SIBO or find a functional medicine doctor who can run tests such as a GI Map. ● [23:47] Fruits and vegetables are the best source for fiber, but the real powerhouses diet-wise are going to be your beans, lentils and chickpeas. You're never going to get enough fiber unless you eat those foods in your diet regularly. QUOTES: “A leaky gut is allowing out these antigens, be they parts of gram negative bacteria called lipopolysaccharides, which create inflammation, or they might be partly digested food particles like gluten, which is something that really resembles your thyroid gland. So therefore, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is one of the most common autoimmune disease because the body sees that thing come out of your intestines, not digested, full protein, and thinking that doesn't belong here, attacks it, and then says what else looks like that in the body, oh well your thyroid gland, so let me attack that too.” - Lindsey Parsons “When I'm at my worst, I can look six months pregnant easily. So, bloating is very much associated with SIBO. If somebody says they're bloated and it's every day, and usually unless they're following a very strict diet that doesn't have any high FODMAP foods, then typically you're going to be looking at SIBO and that may have been diagnosed as IBS because it may then go along with diarrhea or constipation or other GI issues.” - Lindsey Parson“If you're just a generally healthy person who maybe is just a little bit constipated, you probably do need to add some more fiber to your diet. Fruits and vegetables being the best source, but really the powerhouses diet-wise are going to be your beans and your lentils and your chickpeas, those kinds of foods.” - Lindsey Parsons"If you have low stomach acid and you're not breaking apart your proteins properly then you're probably not getting enough l-carnitine...one of the two essential nutrients needed to take fatty acids and...turn them into energy." - Lindsey Parsons"Typically it starts with some sort of trigger, like a stressful period in your life or a period of antibiotics, which weakens your immune system, raises your cortisol, which raises your blood sugar and then...you see dysbiosis, too many pathogenic bacteria and not enough commensal bacteria and then you start to see overgrowths of candida...which may cause sugar cravings or carb cravings." - Lindsey Parsons"The symptoms you're experiencing are your body communicating with you...let's listen and support it because our gut health translates into our overall health." - Jenn Trepeck RESOURCES:Down and Dirty Part 1Down and Dirty Part 2Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:High Desert Health Coach WebsiteGut Healing Facebook GroupHigh Desert Health Facebook PageHigh Desert Health Instagram PageHigh Desert Health YouTubeLindsey's SupplementsFree E-Booklet “Finding Your Root Cause Through Stool and Organic Acids Testing” Free Quiz to see Which Stool or Functional Medicine Test Will Help You Find the Root Cause of your Gut Health IssuesLindsey's Rupa Health Lab StoreBIO:Lindsey Parsons, EdD is a Certified Health Coach working out of Tucson, Arizona.

In this episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about the Mesenteric Roots of the small intestines and their significance in cases of low back pain. I dive into the anatomy and function of the mesenteric root, including its relationship with the duodenal jejunal flexure and the ligament of Treitz. I also talk about the reflexive connections between the mesenteric root, blood flow, lymphatic flow, and nervous system tension. Lastly, I provides some insights to treating the Mesenteric Roots, including spinal mobilization and mobilizing the route itself with the use of soft massage tools, such as the coregeous ball.Resources mentioned:Janet Yiu's IG: https://www.instagram.com/optimizepelvichealth/IG Post on Mesenteric Roots: https://www.instagram.com/p/CyL-IcELnmtRadial breathing: https://vimeo.com/454465809/c8eb8ce5a8Visceral massage video: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/348696597/5d7a2f4538Coregeous ball: https://www.tuneupfitness.com/?rfsn=3901938.c151c3Other episodes:Episode 15: Hard No To Hard Tool In The Gut Episode 9: Left Side Sciatica or Right Side Shoulder Pain?Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

T., Das, S., Andersson, S., Pentinmikko, N., Villablanca, E. J., Goldenring, J. R., Jokitalo, E., Coffey, R. J., Katajisto, P. Abstract: Cell-to-cell signalling between niche and stem cells regulates tissue regeneration. While the identity of many mediating factors is known, it is largely unknown whether stem cells optimize their receptiveness to niche signals according to the niche organization. Here, we show that Lgr5+ small intestinal stem cells (ISCs) regulate the morphology and orientation of their secretory apparatus to match the niche architecture, and to increase transport efficiency of niche signal receptors. Unlike the progenitor cells lacking lateral niche contacts, ISCs orient Golgi apparatus laterally towards Paneth cells of the epithelial niche, and divide Golgi into multiple stacks reflecting the number of Paneth cell contacts. Stem cells with a higher number of lateral Golgi transported Epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) with a higher efficiency than cells with one Golgi. The lateral Golgi orientation and enhanced Egfr transport required A-kinase anchor protein 9 (Akap9), and was necessary for normal regenerative capacity in vitro. Moreover, reduced Akap9 in aged ISCs renders ISCs insensitive to niche-dependent modulation of Golgi stack number and transport efficiency. Our results reveal stem cell-specific Golgi complex configuration that facilitates efficient niche signal reception and tissue regeneration, which is compromised in the aged epithelium.

"The whole point of the Shen is to be our compass on earth, not to fly back up to heaven, because the Shen will do that. But it's really, can I call the Shen down and have the Shen and it's rhythm inform my life?" Oh, heavenly Shen! The ultimate expression of true intelligence and Joy, the bridge between heaven and heart, where wisdom lives and love reigns supreme. As we sit in the balmy heat of the hottest (and last) month of Summer- the Heart Fire element, we want to take a moment to journey to the core of this season and explore its equally soulful and outward Yang expression. Guiding us through this conversation, bridging the esoteric and physical nature of the Heart Fire element so gracefully, is Medical Qigong therapist, Yin Yoga teacher, psychotherapist and 5 Element educator Stephanie Nosco. Stephanie explores the apex of expression, which is the Fire Element- when the sun is at its highest point, nature is bursting with life, and the ascending energy of excitement fills the air. Stephanie also discusses the practices, protectors and boundaries to be mindful of in Heart Fire season and why balance is essential. This conversation is a divine exploration of how we can show up shining and expressing our full potential in the Summer season without soaring too high in the excitement and losing that soul connection to self and consciousness. Mason and Stephanie discuss: -The Shen Treasure. -Meditation and Shen -The expression of Shen. -Heart resonance and Shen. -Protectors of the Heart. -Boundaries of the Heart. -Practices for Heart Fire season. -The Small Intestine and discernment. -Listening to the compass of the Heart. -How the Heart Fire Element is expressed. -The difference between excitement and joy. -Shen and the relationship with ourselves. -Gratitude practices to nourish Heart Shen. -Speech is the centre of the Heart and the Shen. -The physical and energetic purpose of the triple burner.

Join us on one of my favorite discussions on the podcast so far with two of my favorite guests!We'll be discussing the Utility of MRI-based motility analysis in small bowel Crohn's disease, MRI vs. ultrasound for small bowel crohn's follow up.Are all strictures born equal? What can MRI tell us about stricturing disease? How should physicians approach disruptive technologies? What are the cornerstones of medical innovation?
"This is probably the first time we've talked about the San Jiao meridian- the invisible Yang Organ System. The San Jiao is responsible for the transportation of fluids through the body. It's responsible for the functional relationship between various Organs involved with fluid metabolism and metabolism in general. It's between the Lungs, Spleen, Kidneys, Small Intestine, and Bladder, and it's paired with the pericardium. It helps the body transport lymphatic fluid and prevents toxic build up". - Mason Taylor Today on the podcast, we're taking a moment to observe and acknowledge the ancient healing tradition of Gua Sha. A healing technique that spans ages and cultures, bridging the gap between the practitioner's office and the home through direct engagement with the physicality of our bodies. Mason runs through the specific techniques and details of using the SuperFeast Bian stone Yin/Yang Gua Sha tools- how to engage, use them safely and feel connected to this ancient wisdom and ancient lore. Mason explains the function of eliminating internal heat and stagnation through the gentle scraping of the Gua Sha tool, supporting and assisting the movement of lymphatic fluids through the San Jiao meridian system. The Gua Sha tool offers profound benefits when incorporated into a daily facial-beauty routine, offering lasting radiance and buoyancy to the skin. But it is far more than just an elegant beauty tool for the face- it is a safe and gentle way of moving Qi around the body and preventing disease in our daily lives. "The San Jiao meridian is the regulatory capacity for the body to move between the lower dantian, the middle dantian, the upper dantian, and the three burners-the three centres. And when they're in sync, you're connecting the Three Treasures, the Jing, the Qi, and the Shen. Everything's being regulated, harmonised, and connected, and the waters are moving on". - Mason Taylor Mason discusses: -Facial Gua Sha for detox. -Why Bian Stone for Gua Sha? -Chi Nei Tsang organ massage. -Immune function and Gua Sha. -How long do we use Gua sha for? -Gua Sha and the lymphatic sytem. -Gua Sha and the meridian systems. -San Jiao- the invisible Yang organ system. -How to use SuperFeasts Yin Yang Gua Sha tools. -The distinction between facial Gua Sha and body Gua Sha. -Gua Sha and the distribution of Qi through the Gallbladder. -Why the San Jiao meridian system is essential for detoxification. -Stagnation-an indication of disease and disharmony within organ systems.

The Motivation: End my Migraines! The idea for CD Seasons of the Soul came from my own healing experience. I had struggled for years with all sorts of mysterious illnesses. None of my symptoms added up to a specific diagnosis, and so none of the treatments I tried worked completely. When the mystery illness evolved into a migraine that wouldn't stop, I became a gentle warrior for my own health. I worked with a talented acupuncturist on Hawai'i Island, and when I became too sensitive for needles, she taught me how to adjust my energy, and reduce the headaches, by what foods I ate. Connecting Food to SeasonsI ate what she recommended, and then gradually wanted to know why she was recommending these foods to me. She pointed me to a wonderful book called, Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. It is a tome and dominates the cookbook shelf in the kitchen. As I began eating in order to stop the headaches, I began to notice that the foods that my acupuncturist was suggesting were following the seasons. My body actually wanted to eat what was in season. Eating foods that were out of season or shipped from somewhere else were contributing to my headaches.I continued to eat, following my body and following the seasons. I began to notice other patterns that followed the seasons, too. Different emotions or parts of myself seemed to step forward at certain times of year, and they seemed to be in a regular cycle. I began to regain my health when I allowed my body to follow the seasons. Enter the HarpWhen I got to the point where I was trying Reiki to treat the migraines, my Reiki master suggested that I connect with something in my childhood that was happy. I remembered a dream of playing the harp and gave it a try. I loved it. And when I discovered that it was possible to connect certain keys and styles of harp playing with various emotions, this was about the same time I was making the connection between the seasons, food, and my emotional and physical health. Research and ExperimentationI started improvising around the idea of creating musical seasons according to ancient traditional Chinese thinking. This idea excited me tremendously. And isn't this what composers are doing anyway? Translating their vision of the emotional and energetic world into sound and music? I felt right at home. As I learned the harp, I began studies with the International Harp Therapy Program in San Diego. It was through this program that I learned how to play the modes and how I learned to improvise on the harp. I am thankful to Susan Zevenbergen, my first teacher, and to Christina Tourin, who is the founder and director of IHTP. I worked with the modes while I was reading about Healing with Whole Foods. I discovered that I had a different musical landscape than what I found while researching Paul Pitchford. ~~~~~~~~~~Early SummerJune 21-Aug. 1 FireHeartExpansion, growth, lightness and outward activity.

Okay, so a number of you have reached out to ask me whether I'm going to talk about my next steps for SIFO treatment, which I wasn't originally going to do as I have an expert in mind to invite onto the show, but as a number of you asked, I hope that sharing my story will be somewhat helpful for you! So, unlike with SIBO where I had quite a long-term plan in mind, this I am more so feeling out my journey because as I discussed in my previous update, I'm not 100% sure if the issue is gut dysbiosis or SIFO. So, to recap, let's start with what SIFO is. SIFO stands for small intestine fungal overgrowth and it's when fungus like yeast (or other fungi) grow in the small intestine. We do have some normal, non-harmful levels of fungus and yeast in the large intestine, but they become a problem either when they overgrow or when they're found I the small intestine. Unfortunately, the symptoms of SIFO are exactly the same as SIBO, so it can be very tricky to identify between the two. What makes it harder is that testing for SIFO is unreliable. Often the fungus hides in biofilms, which are protective mucosal-like layers, so they don't show up on tests and even if they do, there's no way, without a very invasive biopsy, to tell whether the fungus is in the large intestine or small intestine. What we do know is that the organic acids test tends to be the most reliable test, at least according to the practitioners I've trained with. We also know the candida tends to be the culprit behind SIFO in many cases, and just to be clear, that's the type of yeast which causes thrush, and we also know that about xxx of SIBO cases. Now there are some extra tell-tale signs of candida specifically, if that's the fungus behind the problem, and those are… · Allergies · Yeast overgrowth (vaginal, oral or on the skin) · Nasal congestion and excess mucus or phlegm · Rashes · Joint pain · Brain fog and chronic fatigue · Headaches The difficulty is that unless you have the obvious thrush, whether oral, vaginal or on your skin, this symptoms are also typical of histamine intolerance, which you know if you listen to my podcast, is very common with our community and is also very common with SIBO, and hydrogen sulphide SIBO specifically. As I had suspected hydrogen sulphide and for sure, have histamine intolerance, any possible SIFO really wasn't obvious. Until more recently. As you may know, about two months ago, I cleared my SIBO! But unfortunately, I still had the majority of the SIBO symptoms. I also had an unusual test result, which showed no hydrogen gas in my large intestine, which is where it should be. In a healthy negative result, you should see little hydrogen gas in the small intestine and then a rise in the large intestine, but I had a flat line. So, this indicates two possible issues – either hydrogen sulphide or a bacterial imbalance in my large intestine, essentially, the bacteria in my gut having been wiped out. Because I'd done so many treatment rounds and most of them would target all three types of SIBO, I felt it unlikely it was still hydrogen sulphide remaining, and my colleagues agreed. Secondly, I had done a round of antibiotics, and I react quite badly to them, having lots of diarrhoea, fatigue, and headaches, and after I finished the course, I got shingles, which you only get when you're very immune compromised. And 70% of the immune system is in and around the gut. If your healthy microbiome in the large intestine is wiped out, you can bet your immune system will be too. So, for sure, I was certain that there was some gut dysbiosis happening. But I didn't believe it was enough to cause all my symptoms. And a few clues made me suspect SIFO. Firstly, I was doing pretty well with symptom reduction until the third week of the elemental diet, which is full of simple sugars. Suddenly, I began to bloat up again. I also had a strong white film throughout the entire elemental diet, which indicated the sugars were feeding bacteria or yeast in my mouth, and secondly, I started having thrush symptoms during the elemental diet. Then, from the elemental diet, I went onto the antibiotics, and I got thrush symptoms again! Now Dr Siebecker warns that the elemental diet may cause yeast or fungal overgrowth in people who already have it, in contrast, Dr Ruscio uses the elemental diet for candida overgrowth, because he says the simple sugars are absorbed too quickly for the yeast to eat it. I think it's probably the case that both doctors are right, but that it depends on the individual and that they see different types of patients. Either way, it seemed quite clear to me that I had some yeast overgrowth as a result. I went to my doctor at Vala, and they agreed that it looked like candida overgrowth in my mouth. Additionally, I've always had a white film on my tongue, honestly ever since I could remember. I used to ask dentists about it, but they would shrug it off, and tell me it was down to what I had eaten, but I was waking up with it before I had eaten a thing. Back then I just took what they said as gospel. Then a few years ago, my boyfriend and I went through a real sweet tooth phase, long before I had gotten on top of my endo and eating an anti-inflammatory diet, and we were eating a lot of sugar. At that point, I got full on oral thrush, which thankfully was cleared with 24 hours of taking the medication – or so I thought! I've only ever had vaginal thrush a handful times, so again, initially, I really didn't think candida was an issue for me! However, the fact that I then started getting the symptoms from two things which we know may cause yeast overgrowth – the elemental diet and antibiotics – made me think that maybe I have had SIFO all along, but the white film never got out of control, and it wasn't really affecting my vagina too much. Now having said this, according to Dr Jacobi, candida can also cause a burning bladder pain, and for sure, that's what my pain feels like inside my bladder. Like I have a fire going on in there, and there's also a few rusty knitting needles sticking through it too! So, alongside my colleagues who I trained with in SIBO and my doctor, I concluded I do likely have SIFO and gut dysbiosis. The problem is, if you have SIFO, its usually quite hard to clear SIBO or to stay in remission, and even though I still had all the symptoms of SIBO, I felt like I relapsed about 2 weeks into my all clear. The changes were subtle, but they were there. I was still having bloating and loose stools, that hadn't changed. But what had improved is I could no longer feel fermentation happening in my gut, like active bubbles forming and moving around in my gut, which I used to get all the time – and that returned. The second issue was that my stools changed, and I won't go into the detail, but it was reminiscent of when my SIBO used to be really bad. Then I started getting the burping back, which was a new symptom originally, that started I think in 2019, but it went during treatment, and came back around the same time as these other symptoms. So, this occurred whilst I was in my prevention of relapse phase. So, when you clear your SIBO, you move into a three-to-six-month period where you put in place meal spacing, prokinetics (which are supplements or drugs which stimulate your migrating motor complex in the small intestine overnight, to clear out bacteria) and some kind of SIBO diet. There are also some additional extras you can do, which I was doing. I was pretty much doing everything perfectly, but I relapsed. So, I was two weeks in, whilst deciding what treatment to start for SIFO. And at that point, sometime after my relapse, is when we decided to go to Greece. Now originally, you'll know my plan was to do a very specific reintroduction of foods, following the usual elimination diet reintroduction phase, where you try one new food basically a week. But now I had relapsed, and I was at a point where I never didn't have symptoms. I bloated after every meal, despite being on the SIBO bi-phasic, so I couldn't get any more restrictive. So, trying to tell what I was specifically going to react to was going to be incredibly difficult and frustrating. Also, we have been wanting to travel for years, but in addition to COVID, we hadn't because of my SIBO. I didn't want to be in a position where I had to eat outside of a SIBO diet and ended up relapsing. But now I had relapsed. And part of what may cause relapse is chronic stress and an elevated nervous system. I won't go into it now, but many of you know that I have felt very, very stressed and unsafe in our current home in Margate, but we've had continual circumstances that have prevented us from moving – one of them being that we didn't want to just move to a new flat, we really wanted to move overseas and roam around for a while. Additionally, we had mould, which we've cleared as much as we can, but there's likely a lot of hidden mould as the entire flat was flooded not long after we first moved in, and it was after that that I got very sick with histamine intolerance, which can flare up from mould triggering the immune system. But this is a stressor on the body and nervous system, and additionally, can cause relapse if your immune system is being compromised by something like mould. On top of that, I'd worked really hard, for really, really long and it had been a tough few years. So, we made quite an overnight decision to go to Greece for six week. You know, our original vision was to pack up, leave the flat entirely and just travel Europe for six months, because that's all we're allowed to do thanks to Brexit, but because of the restrictions with COVID, etc. it was just all so limited and so fingers crossed, we can do that this year. But we both decided enough was enough and we wanted a break from the house and a change of scenery, of course it was something we just wanted to do in life, but in a large part for me, my health was my motivation and my therapist even called it an intervention, and that's for sure what it felt like. So, I made the decision to go to Greece, knowing full well I wouldn't have total control about the reintroduction of food, but by this point I was pretty certain I had relapsed and giving that I still had the SIFO road ahead of me, a break away seemed not just like it wouldn't do much more damage, but that it would be good for me. So, my plan for SIBO and SIFO basically revolved around Greece because I would have to take all my treatment with me. And I established three goals, I mean I didn't, I'm not that organised, but that's this is what I focused on – · Keeping SIBO at bay and continuing the prevention of relapse to the best of my ability so it didn't progress rapidly. · Beginning to take on SIFO, but gently, to avoid any die off reactions whilst away. · And to rebuild my microbiome and improve my gut lining, which I was already working on anyway. So as a result, here's what my current protocol looks like: Diet Before we went away, I began expanding with one to three new foods a week. Just some of the key ones that I thought I should try before we went, that I would likely rely on in restaurants, like lentils and some nuts. Then, as we planned for Greece, my aim was to eat as expanded as possible, so basically the more lenient end of a SIBO diet, which looks more like the expanded version of the low FODMAP diet and the paleo diet. This is fine by the way; you won't relapse if you expand. The point of the prevention of relapse phase is to expand to tolerance as rapidly as possible. Of course, I had no bloody idea what I was and wasn't tolerating, so I just decided to follow the low FODMAP serving guidance to help me to stay within some kind of relatively low carb (that's the basis of a SIBO diet) protocol. So, before we went, I basically started transitioning from the bi-phasic, which is very, very restrictive, to low FODMAP. Because we are here for six weeks, I had the advantage of not eating out all the time. So, I my plan was, and what I have implemented whilst here, was to eat low FODMAP during the week at home, and then at the weekend, to eat as low FODMAP or paleo friendly as I could manage whilst out and about, but also allowing for treats and just basically enjoying and appreciating a different cuisine. Now my doctor, who is a functional medicine doctor, sent me a candida diet. There are a few different versions, but essentially, it's a low carb diet to a degree, that removes yeasts and sugars. I had a look through it and because in terms of servings, it's generally less restrictive than the low FODMAP, I was essentially doing it, other than when I have some bread or ice cream over the weekend. But I didn't really want to go down a rabbit hole with that, especially as I'm not sure how suitable the candida diet is for SIBO and equally, some practitioners debate whether the candida diet is even necessary. So that's going to be a bridge that I cross when I get home. But for the most part, I am naturally doing it anyway. So, we've been here for about two weeks now and I've settled into a routine of this kind of pattern. The first weekend we were in Athens for 48 hours and were travelling and didn't really have time to seek out gluten free and dairy free, etc. We did stumble across a few places, thankfully, so that was great. But I ended up eating quite a bit of gluten, and by the third day I felt really nauseas and started getting an upset stomach. I also had dairy too, once, or twice, because it turns out that in Greece, it's really hard to eat vegan and gluten free in general restaurants. The protein options are mainly meat, fish or dairy and often the fish was things that I just wouldn't be able to stomach, like octopus, and as you know, I was hoping to transition back off of meat after having to eat on the bi-phasic, so I had some cheese every now and then, as being a health coach, blood sugar is important to me and so you do need protein with every meal. Also, my blood sugar is very suspectable to lows, so just having a plate of carbs would really mess me up and ruin the rest of the day, so I had to make choices about having enough fat and protein and that sometimes looked like a little dairy. Now I know I'm intolerant to dairy, which actually might be due to having SIBO, because it causes temporary lactose intolerance until you clear it, so I wasn't eating huge amounts and I tried to choose cheeses that I know I tolerate better, and I avoided cow's dairy and milk for the most part – except for a scoop of ice cream here or there, but in Athens I could get vegan. So, because I was nervous about eating foods out, that I hadn't eaten for a long time, I took with me betaine HCL, which is stomach acid support; digestive enzymes; FODMATE, which is digestive enzymes specifically for FODMAP foods and charcoal capsules, which absorb gas if you have bloating and can also be helpful with diarrhea, and all of these have been really handy when out. I've still not had the happiest bowel movements, but I wasn't having sudden severe reactions whilst out and needing to dash to the loo, which is what I used to get and what I was scared of. So that's the diet side of things. SIFO For SIFO, I didn't want to go in too hard core now and then have lots of die off reactions whilst away, which would leave me feeling really unwell. So instead, I started subtle. I have a one-week course of an anti-fungal from my doctor, but I am also taking a high dose of saccharomyces boulardii, which is a healthy yeast probiotic that competes with candida for space in the gut and has been shown to be very effective. I am also taking another probiotic called lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, which creates candida antibodies to kill it off. I am also taking immunoglobulins, which are naturally a part of our immune system and line our gut, but I am very low on these. They bind to toxins and help expel them, and when they're low, we're more suspectable to infections, parasites, yeast, etc. So, I am taking them to help with both the SIBO and SIFO. Additionally, I am taking glutathione, which is an antioxidant that's absolutely essential to liver function, and so this is supporting my liver to clear out all the toxins as the candida, fungus, etc. clears, helping me by lessening the die off. SIBO For SIBO, I am keeping it at bay with the strongest prokinetic, called prucalopride. This is a pharmaceutical drug, but unfortunately, the natural prokinetics aren't normally strong enough and this was certainly the case for me. I tried them all, and they just didn't do the job. Whilst doing that, I am of course doing the diet 80% of the time, and then meal spacing as much as possible. So that's 4 hours between meals and 12 hours overnight. Sometimes I can't manage the 4 hours between meals because I'm hungry or I need to support my blood sugar, but at a minimum we're required to do 12 hours over night. I think maybe three days I ended up doing less than that because of travelling, maybe 10 hours or something. And alongside that I am taking low dose allicin, which is an extract from garlic, and I use multiple times in my SIBO treatment with success, and allicin also kills off fungus. It's reportedly not strong enough alone to kill fungus and yeast, but it can help and in combination with the probiotics, I think it's a nice combo to keep the SIFO at bay at least, if not begin killing it off. So, I am taking the allicin at a low dose to keep the SIBO at bay, and this is a common approach. Dr Siebecker doesn't use it, but some other doctors do use it between treatment rounds instead of a prokinetic, and it does work. So, it may not be enough to kill the SIBO, in fact I know it's not, but it just sort of keeps it from growing like crazy. Then of course, the immunoglobulins help too. Microbiome and gut lining repair So, I am taking high dose fish oil, about 2000mg, which helps to repair the gut lining. I am taking 2000mg of quercetin, which again helps to repair the gut lining, and also lowers inflammation in the body and gut and is a natural antihistamine. I was taking l-glutamine before I left, which is the best leaky gut healer, but the tub was huge and was open, and is a white powder, so I thought I might get arrested for that one! Additionally, the saccharomyces boulardii also helps to repair the gut lining, and the lactobacillus acidophilus also contains two other strains which have been shown to repopulate the gut and increase levels of beneficial bacteria. Now normally, I wouldn't take so many probiotics with SIBO, because taking too many can cause a flare up and even cause it to grow, but it's about testing your tolerance. If you take a probiotic and you're bloating or SIBO symptoms get worse, it's probably not the best one for you because it's feeding your SIBO. In contrast, certain single strains are better tolerated. I like to build people up to a few strains, and I was already on two, so with this combo I'm on four, and I tested them out before I left to make sure I wasn't reacting. But essentially, I couldn't find a single strain of lactobacillus acidophilus for the life of me, so this was the best I could find! And the immunoglobulins help to rebuild the gut lining and support the microbiome too. Additionally, in general, I have been supporting my gut by using the app. Nerva, which improves the gut-brain connection and using Arvigo massage at night to stimulate the migrating motor complex overnight. Both of these also help to lower stress, which damages the gut lining and microbiome, so addressing a stressed nervous system and an anxious gut is really important too – and I see Greece as part of that. I have to say, I haven't been able to be consistent with the massage and the Nerva with all the travelling, but we're a week into our new temporary home now and we're here for another three weeks, so I can get back into my routine. So that's my current protocol. When I return to the UK, I am going to move into a high dose of oregano and another yeast antimicrobial, likely Candibactin AR, but continue with the probiotics, and I'll of course retest for SIBO. If I am positive, I may do the elemental diet again, whilst taking anti-fungals, as that should kill it at the same time. I may then need to continue with the candida treatment for several months, as it can take some time to clear. But I think that will be judged on whether I am seeing any improvements, because if it's not candida, then I don't want to waste time treating the wrong issue. I'm hoping to do an organic acids test too, to see if any candida shows up. What I'll do is take an anti-biofilm for two weeks ahead of the test, and that will hopefully break up the biofilm so it can be detected. It doesn't always work, but we'll see. But there are plenty of natural anti-fungals to rotate through and I have all the doses from my course with Dr Jacobi, so I'll let you know which ones I'm doing as I go through the treatments. If it's not candida, I may be still having symptoms because of possible Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which I am being assessed for when I return, and I've been talking about that over on Instagram if you want to learn more about its connection to endo and SIBO. And it could also be that I am just rapidly relapsing and severely reacting because of an upregulated nervous system, in which case, there are two great courses for rewiring your brain if your body is very reactive, one is called DNRS and the other is the Gupta Programme, so I may consider those too. I see a lot of this with my clients, an upregulated nervous system from years of pain, inflammation, etc. It's really too early to say which route I'm going to go down until I see what my SIBO results say, and I see how I respond to the candida treatment that I try when I get back. So that's it. I hope that sharing my journey has given you some insight into your own, has maybe offered you some hope or some motivation to keep going.

Welcome to The Nutritional Pearls Podcast! Focusing on topics that include digestion, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, supplementation, electrolytes, stomach acid, and so much more, “The Nutritional Pearls Podcast” features Christine Moore, NTP and is hosted by Jimmy Moore, host of the longest running nutritional podcast on the Internet. Sharing nuggets of wisdom from Christine's training as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Jimmy's years of podcasting and authoring international bestselling health and nutrition books, they will feature a new topic of interest and fascination in the world of nutritional health each Monday. Listen in today as Christine and Jimmy talk all about carbohydrates in Episode 9. Here's what Christine and Jimmy talked about in Episode 10: – 1. Review of Digestion –– A. Digestion happens north to south –– B. Proper stomach pH is supposed to be between 1.5 and 3 –– C. Zinc and B6 are needed to produce stomach acid – 2. Dysfunction in digestive process –– A. Dysfunction in the brain: Sympathetic State—doing other activities or being stressed while eating –– B. Dysfunction in the mouth: Not chewing food thoroughly (for about 30 seconds); signal not received from the brain to have the mouth release salivary amylase. –– C. Dysfunction in the stomach: Not having enough stomach acid. 90% of Americans don't produce enough stomach acid (Jonathon Wright, MD came up with this using the Heidelberg Gastrotelemetry equipment to check the stomach pH on thousands of patients AND Dr. George Goodhart, a chiropractor, came to the same conclusion using kinesiological and functional assessment). ––– 1. Food, especially protein doesn't get broken down ––– 2. Allows foreign invaders to pass through to the rest of the digesting system. Helicobacter (H) Pylori (stomach ulcers caused by bacteria) happens because of inadequate stomach acid ––– 3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) actually happens because of too little stomach acid. Poorly digested foods cause a back-up in the esophagus oftentimes because the cardiac sphincter is weak. Since the acid content is higher in the stomach, the back flow burns the esophagus. ––– 4. If stomach pH is not right, the pyloric sphincter won't release the stomach contents into the duodenum Remember: Carbs ferment, proteins putrefy and fats rancidify –– D. Dysfunction in the Pancreas: If pH of chime (digested food) is not correct, Secretin won't be released to trigger the pancreatic juices needed to further break down food. –– E. Dysfunction in the Gallbladder: If pH of chime is not correct, then CCK won't be released to trigger bile to digest the fats we eat. –– F. Dysfunction in the small intestine: Undigested foods will cause gut flora to become imbalanced and it will also cause irritation to the intestinal lining causing increased permeability leading to Leaky Gut and therefore, autoimmune conditions. –– G. Dysfunction in the large intestine: Undigested food can clog the ileocecal valve (valve leading from the small intestine to the large intestine) Undigested food can cause inflammation leading to colitis, irritable bowl syndrome, Crohn's Disease, Celiac Disease Nutritional Pearls For Episode 10: 1. Being in a parasympathetic state when eating is very important . 2. Proper stomach acid is imperative.
