What Your Physician Never Told You About Heartburn/GERD & PPI's.

SIBO Explained

On today’s podcast, we're diving into a recap of last week’s discussion and exploring the three types of SIBO and IBS, along with practical strategies to address them. We’ll also cover symptoms of leaky gut and discuss what dysbiosis means and how it relates to gut health. So, let’s get started!

First, we’ll review the three types of gut dysbiosis we discussed last week: low diversity dysbiosis, digestive insufficiency dysbiosis, and inflammatory dysbiosis. All three are precursors to leaky gut, an issue we’ll explore in greater detail today. Remember, last week’s episode is available under the “Radio” tab as a podcast, and also as a blog post.

Dysbiosis refers to an imbalance in the gut microbiome, which can compromise the intestinal barrier, allowing bacteria and toxins to enter the bloodstream. We’ll also hear from Dr. Mark Hyman on this topic, a conventional doctor turned functional nutrition advocate, who emphasizes the impact of nutrition on health beyond traditional medicine.

Gut Dysbiosis:  3 Types That Can Lead to Leaky Gut

At Harmony with Food, my goal is to help clients identify and address the root causes of digestive issues through functional nutrition. Using advanced testing, personalized nutrition coaching, and customized anti-inflammatory meal plans, we can address conditions at their source, whether it's food sensitivities, microbiome imbalances, or even genetics through nutrigenomics—eating in tune with your genes. Later in the show, we’ll dive into a trending topic: hydrogen water. Many patients ask me about it, and since it’s generating a lot of buzz, I’ll share my insights—stay tuned! We'll also pick up where we left off last week, covering the three main types of gut dysbiosis: low diversity dysbiosis, digestive insufficiency dysbiosis, and inflammatory dysbiosis. Understanding each type can help pinpoint what’s really going on in your gut, and functional nutrition testing can provide essential insights on how to resolve it.

The Latest In Microbiome Research and Success Stories

It's no secret that most medical doctors don't receive extensive training in nutrition, the microbiome, food sensitivities, micronutrients, or the chemicals in our food supply.

Today, we’re going to dive into some of the latest research on the microbiome and how it impacts your health.

Are Food Sensitivities Causing Your Symptoms

You've probably heard the saying, "Let food be your medicine." But what if certain foods are actually working against you? Many people unknowingly consume foods that their bodies can't tolerate, leading to issues like inflammation, weight loss resistance, and digestive problems. You may have sensitivities to foods high in oxalates, gluten, or other compounds, and you may not even know it.

Diet-related diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States, yet many doctors receive little to no nutrition education in medical school. This isn't surprising; I’ve been talking about this for over 20 years. Today, we're going to dive into a new study on the issue.

Are Your Supplements Safe?

Today we are going to talk about supplements. Are your supplements safe? Is it safe to buy from online places like Amazon? How do you know what are taking is safe? Where do you get your information from? Do you get your information from marketing departments from these big companies, from television ads, from radio ads, from podcasts from commercials and magazines, maybe from salespeople. It's very difficult to navigate these waters alone. Today, we will talk about supplement safety and how to know where your supplements come from.
