If your gut health isn't where you want it to be, today's Q&A will likely be of use to you. 

I'll be covering some great question submissions like: 

-I’ve tried water, prunes, and fiber, and nothing works for my constipation. What should I do? 

-My bloating and constipation are slowly getting better with your protocol, but are not resolved. What else can I do? 

-I have eczema, rosacea, and loose stool. I was wondering if my skin symptoms could be caused by a gut imbalance? 

To hear answers to these questions and more, please join me.

A Herxheimer reaction (aka die-off) is essentially when a new protocol makes you feel worse before you start to feel better. 

This often gets confused with intolerance, which makes sense when gauging how a new protocol makes you feel. But to make sure you aren’t jumping ship on a protocol that may actually be working for you, it’s important to learn how to recognize the difference between die-off and intolerance. 

Join me to learn how to best navigate Herxheimer symptoms and what you can do to manage them.

Dr. Bianco recently published the book, Rethinking Hypothyroidism: Why Treatment Must Change and What Patients Can Do. 

Today I'll be speaking to Dr. Bianco, whom I deeply respect,  about his approach to thyroid health—and mine. 

While we already had a lot of overlap in our approaches,  I walked away with new, incredible insights on hypothyroidism. 

I think you'll feel the same way.

Dr. Bianco received his MD from Santa Casa Medical School and a PhD in human physiology at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil. He’s the former president of the American Thyroid Association (2015-2016) and author of the book "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" . 

Currently, he’s a Professor of Medicine at University of Chicago in the research unit called the Committee on Molecular Metabolism and Nutrition which focuses on thyroid hormone metabolism, more specifically, how certain enzymes called deiodinases control thyroid hormone action & metabolism. This research forms the basis for his understanding of the variable response to thyroid hormone replacement among individuals. 

He has been published in over 200 peer reviewed papers.

Maintaining good gut health for kids and teens is crucially important to overall health. 

Today my guest, Dr. Elisa Song, explains how the developing gut impacts other body systems that are also in development like: 

-Immunity

-The brain

That means that however we support (or don’t) kids’ gut health may have profound effects on their current and future health.  

Please join us for a fascinating conversation about the significance of good gut health for infants, children, and teens.

Are your probiotic side effects a positive sign, or should you make a modification? 

It’s all too common that when people take a probiotic and experience some kind of side effect, they take it to mean that probiotics aren’t right for them. And that’s understandable.

But more often than not, these side effects can be signaling something good (that they’re going to work in your gut) or simply that a small adjustment needs to be made. 

Here’s how to know which side effects mean what.

Mast cell activation (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) are three often debilitating conditions on their own, but it seems they're likely connected to one another.

Join me and Dr. Weinstock as he explains the symptoms of these conditions, how they're linked, and what the future looks like for treatment. Even if you're only dealing with MCAS or POTS, this episode is worth a listen.

A low FODMAP diet is an extremely effective gut-healing tool. In fact, it's been studied for use in healing a wide range of conditions like IBS, IBD, fibromyalgia, anxiety, leaky gut, and more. 

But what exactly is it, what makes it so powerful, and how can you tap into its powers for yourself?   

Today we'll take a brief look at the data to illustrate the reparative ability of the low FODMAP diet, and then I'll give you guidelines for how you can do a low FODMAP diet on your own.
