Join me to hear more about SIBO and how you can help improve it with a simple, research-backed protocol.

In this episode, I debunk the myth that probiotics are harmful. 

Recently, some thought leaders have been suggesting that lactobacillus probiotics should be avoided in those with SIBO. 

But the problem with this take is the research that was favored versus the data that was dismissed...

In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response. 

When the immune response is heightened, there’s a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue. 

This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.

In this episode, I cover updates to gut research. These updates are grouped into two main categories: gut dysbiosis and immune system. 

Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand, so it may not be so shocking to hear how lowering gut inflammation can boost immunity.

What exactly works to improve digestive symptoms and immune function? This episode features studies that reveal the power of diet and the pitfalls of lab tests and environmental exposures. 

Listen in to better understand how to build a healthier gut.

In this episode, Dr. Sunjya Schweig—an expert in complex chronic illnesses—speaks about the first responder health program he devised for the Berkeley Fire Department. 

Exposure to extreme stressors leaves first responders prone to many health risks themselves. To date, the top two killers within this profession are cancer and suicide. 

Recognizing the need to help first responders with their physical and mental health, Dr. Schweig built a program that follows many of the best practices we use at our clinic. 

Hear what gut health, nutrition, stress management, and sleep techniques can help improve overall health.

Weight loss is a perennial struggle for many people, and it’s not because they haven’t tried every approach available (including counting calories, restricting carbs, and increasing the amount of exercise they get).

Today’s podcast guest, obesity expert Dr. Barbara Corkey, explains that many people have difficulty losing weight due to factors that go beyond behavioral change. These include the changing macronutrient content of food, additives in carbs that may be affecting our metabolism, and the resulting rise in metabolic disease.

We discuss how individual differences affect the ability to lose weight, the role of genetics and heredity, and how to sort through all of the noise to find the weight loss approach that works best for you.

In this episode, I share one proven and simple supplement for depression. Depression rates continue to climb, with one out of ten adults and one out of five children experiencing the condition. 

To counteract depression, research reiterates the value of taking probiotics—a supplement widely used for digestive disorders. Having a healthy gut can help balance mood. 

Listen in to discover why probiotics and other simple, non-supplemental interventions are worth adding to your mental health toolkit.

In this episode, you’ll learn from myself, Dr. Hannah Hamlin, and Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi about Elemental Protein Bar—our clinic’s protein bar that’s gut friendly. 

I developed the Elemental Protein Bar based on the success of our Elemental Heal meal replacement shake, which helps reduce gut inflammation and symptoms associated with IBS, SIBO, and other digestive disorders. 

Compared to traditional protein bars on the market, our Elemental Protein Bar is made without prebiotic sweeteners that cause gut irritation and blood sugar swings. 

Hear how our protein bar that’s gut-friendly has eased Dr. Scott and I’s digestive woes and helped Dr. Hannah stabilize her blood sugar.

In this episode, Kyle—a patient at our clinic—shares his gut healing story from beginning to end. When Kyle first came to the clinic, he was already putting in the work with another clinician to resolve his insomnia, upset stomach, diarrhea, vertigo, SIBO, and heart flutters. 

In working with him, I was able to see he was missing basic gut support and needed to focus more on treating his symptoms rather than lab values. 

Kyle’s gut healing story was a success. Hear from him personally what worked best for him.

In this episode, you’ll learn the best way to take probiotics. Probiotics are a staple for many in their gut-healing journey—and for good reason. They have been shown to help improve digestive and non-digestive symptoms, ranging from diarrhea to brain fog. 

While the benefits of probiotics are known, there remains uncertainty about how long to take them for, if they should be taken with or without food, and how often to take them. 

Tune in to the episode to get clarity on how to take probiotics to improve your health.

In this episode, Dr. Lucy Mailing answers the question, “Does exercise impact gut health?” Inspired by her journey with chronic eczema, Dr. Mailing started looking into the gut-skin connection to improve her symptoms.  Seeing this connection spurred her research and career in gut health, the microbiome, and nutrition science. 

When it comes to improving gut health, evidence shows exercise can help. But, how much exercise is needed? What type of exercise intensity is most effective? What diets and supplements can be paired with exercise to enhance gut health? 

Join the discussion with Dr. Mailing and me as we discuss fine-tuning your exercise regime to benefit your gut microbiome.

In this episode, I answer the question, “Is your thyroid diagnosis correct?” Surprisingly, this question is asked more commonly than you think. Even in the functional medicine sphere, thyroid issues are overdiagnosed and overtreated, often leading patients down the wrong treatment path. 

Rather than being shoehorned into a thyroid diagnosis, it’s important to look at the scientific evidence that explains why it may not be your thyroid causing symptoms of fatigue, digestive issues, or brain fog. Listen in to hear when thyroid medication and interventions are necessary, what TPO and TSH levels indicate a thyroid issue, and what steps you can take to discover the true root cause of your health issues.

In this episode,  the spotlight is on Sally’s successful gut healing story. While Sally tried a low histamine diet and other remedies on her own, she didn’t find relief of her chronic GI and histamine-related symptoms until working with Dr. Hannah Hamlin from our clinic. 

Taking note of Sally’s symptoms, labs, medical history, and previous treatments she’s tried, Dr. Hamlin devised a plan with two of our clinic’s most effective therapies: triple therapy probiotics and an elemental diet. 

Hear how these remedies helped Sally feel more confident about what she can eat and provided her with the healing she was looking for.
