If you experience chronic gas and bloating after meals and experience stool changes such as constipation or diarrhea, you may have Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
Why do you have it?
Is it an entity in and of itself or is it a symptoms of a deeper underlying issue?
How do you eliminate it?
Sleep impacts health in more ways that we can count. We are evolved to sleep in a circadian rhythm that is entrained with the light and dark cycles of the sun.
When we break from our evolutionary programming, we may develop circadian rhythm dysfunction. This can contribute to immune system issues, liver and metabolic issues, and/or gut microbiome disturbance (aka dysbiosis) to name a few.
New research out of Stanford helps reveal why some people infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience mild COVID symptoms while others experience a severe clinical course.
What is really exciting is that this research reveals immune targets that we can take action toward optimizing in order to prevent infection and/or optimize recovery if infected.
Parkinson's Disease is often termed idiopathic by conventional medical doctors. Idiopathic means unknown cause. If a disease is idiopathic, the patient is hopeless. No disease is idiopathic.
There is always a cause.
Treatment for Parkinson's disease should go far beyond just prescribing Levodopa. Levodopa only suppresses symptoms. What about healing? Healing can only occur by finding and addressing the cause(s) of the Parkinson's.
Let's dive into how to do that.

Biofilms are suggested by the research to be involved in up to 80% of infections. The common presentation of a biofilm-based infection is one that responds to the same antibiotic everytime, but always comes back.
What is a biofilm? Why aren't antibiotics effective? Where do biofilms occur? Are they involved in "die off" reactions (aka Herxheimer Reactions)?
Could biofilms be involved in SARS-CoV-2 virulence and COVID-19 infections?
See my video on biofilms at: Biofilms cause chronic sinus, UTI, respiratory, and gut infections (t.ly/oMFq)
If you suffer from heartburn or acid reflux you have probably been told by your doctor that you have GERD. You likely also received a prescription for a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Nexium, Prilosec (omeprazole), or Protonix.
How long have you been taking it? Did you know you are not supposed to take it for longer than 2 weeks at a time? Did you know that the list of potential serious side effects is quite long?

Glutathione status is thought to be the key determinant of whether someone with COVID is asymptomatic/mild or severe and possibly fatal. Every breathing human requires glutathione. Why?

Everyone knows we need oxygen to live, but did you know oxygen is a key anti-inflammatory?
Did you know oxygen is key for proper immune system function?
Asthma is considered to be a disease of Th2 Immune Dominance the majority of the time. Inhalers utilize corticosteroids and/or epinephrine to treat asthma symptoms. Corticosteroids and epinephrine are Th2 promoters. Do you see the potential problem?...
Gut complaints are SUPER common in clinical practice. Leaky Gut is also known as Intestinal Permeability and is a common driver of Constipation, Diarrhea, Gas, Bloating, Stomach Pain, and/or IBS.
