In today’s episode, we are happy to hear from our clinic’s Dr. Scott and one of his patients, Keith about his successful experience tackling gut health issues. Keith’s case posed a very common conundrum that we’ve seen in many with gut health issues - are we dealing with bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), fungal overgrowth (candida) or potentially both? We’ll walk through some of the key indications that Keith’s initial SIBO diagnosis was actually a candida case, and we’ll cover the best testing and treatments that led to Keith’s recovery.

A fascinating new study has found that bad breath, or “halitosis” may be correlated with gut issues. In the study, 99% of those who were given treatment for their gut health actually fixed their bad breath! In this episode, I’ll break down the connection between conditions like SIBO and bad breath, and I’ll recommend an effective probiotic protocol to treat bad breath.

Today I’m joined by Dr. Henry Lindner, who has done tremendous work in researching and treating vector borne illnesses, specifically bartonella and babesia. We discuss symptoms, testing, and several treatment options that can support you in fighting the parasites that may be causing your underlying gut issues, fatigue and insomnia. Dr. Lindner also shares his personal experience with vector illnesses and what he is doing now to create more effective solutions.

We often work with people who may need to restrict their diet at some point during their treatment. However, this should not last forever. In fact, too much restriction can reduce the amount of key nutrients one can get from diet! In this insightful episode, I sat down with Dr. Sarah Ballantyne who has done extensive research on nutrient density! She shares resources for determining nutritious foods and how to avoid nutrient deficiencies.
