Yeast overgrowth is a real phenomenon, and one that conventional doctors are often skeptical and poorly informed about. But yeast paranoia is also a real problem, and sometimes people have to be discouraged from adopting a too severe diet that isn’t nourishing to their healthy microbes, or from over-treating for something that’s not actually a problem anymore. This episode tells you exactly what to do to eradicate yeast and restore your microbiome. We'd love to hear from you - send us a ...

Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the microbiome – the trillions of organisms that live in and on your body, mostly in your GI tract. This imbalance can lead to overgrowth of some organisms, undergrowth of others, and a change in the metabolic activity of the microorganisms. That metabolic activity determines the byproducts that your microbes are making; things like hormones, and vitamins, and neurotransmitters that are involved in virtually all of your bodily functions. And that’s why dysb...

Diverticulosis is the direct result of a diet that’s too low in fiber. When your colon has to contract more vigorously to expel small, hard stool that’s characteristic of a low-fiber diet, it causes a lot of pressure in the wall of your colon. This leads to small bulges, which eventually become diverticulosis. I’m seeing more and more patients in their twenties and thirties with diverticulosis, a disease that’s supposed to strike in your 60s and 70s, and the explanation is on our plate. In th...
1The gallbladder is often described as a nonessential organ, but our digestive system is carefully and thoughtfully designed, and there are no spare parts that can be removed without consequences - because every part of the GI tract serves a purpose. Can you live without your gallbladder? Absolutely, but there is a very good chance that you could end up more symptomatic after surgery than you were before. I’m going to be explaining why in this episode.We'd love to hear from you - send us a tex...

Parasites are a lot more common than most people realize, affecting a huge number of people worldwide. The good news is that many parasitic infections are asymptomatic, or the symptoms are short-lived and resolve on their own without any treatment. The bad news is that parasites like Giardia and several others can leave you with long-term symptoms like bloating, nausea, burping, and fatigue. Figuring out which parasites are actually causing the symptoms and how to treat them can be challengin...
If you want to banish your bloat, you need to figure out the specific reason WHY you’re bloated, so that you can apply a specific solution. And keep in mind, there could be multiple reasons – and multiple solutions. Bloating is one of the commonest problems I deal with as a gastroenterologist, and the most important thing for you to know, is that there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to bloating. In fact, the title of my 3rd book - The Bloat Cure: 101 Natural Solutions for Real...
Multiple scientific studies have made a connection between the gut microbiome and the brain in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although the line connecting the two is not a straight one, there's really nothing to be lost - and potentially a lot to be gained - from changing the diet in a way that can improve the diversity and composition of the microbiome in ASD. Learn which changes have the biggest impact.We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!Thank you for being a part of our community!...
It turns out Parkinson’s isn’t just a brain disease; it's also a gut disease. And the changes in the gut can occur before the changes in the brain, leading to what we now call the “gut first” theory of Parkinson's. If you’re eating the wrong foods, you can develop changes in your gut microbiome that lead to neuro-inflammation in the brain, and ultimately, diseases like Parkinson's. Learn what types of foods put you at risk - and which ones are protective.We'd love to hear from you - send us a...
Gut feelings and butterflies in the stomach are real sensations rooted in physiology: many of the neurotransmitters that our brain uses are actually made in our gut, and our digestive tract is home to about 500 million nerve cells. We call this 2nd brain in our gut the enteric nervous system. Your gut influences your stress levels, anxiety, mood, and behavior. And your brain influences your gut motility, enzyme secretion in your GI tract, absorption of nutrients through your gut lining, and y...
Could what’s showing up on your face be a direct result of something that you’re eating? When it comes to gluten - that's a definite YES. "Gluten face" can be induced by eating gluten containing foods like wheat, rye and barley, and can cause a bloated, puffy, red face. But the key to treating it is more complex than just choosing gluten-free products.We'd love to hear from you - send us a text!Thank you for being a part of our community!
