ENCORE: The Role of the Digestive Tract in Determining Overall Health, Part 1
January 25, 2022
Liz Lipski, Ph.D., CNS joins us to discuss the latest edition of her authoritative book, "Digestive Wellness." First written in 1995 when I first interviewed her, she just updated it (5th edition!) in light of all the recent new developments in GI science. She discusses the pervasive role of the digestive tract in determining overall health; there are ramifications for the heart, the brain, and even bones and skin. Dr. Lipski weighs in on leaky gut syndrome, small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), fecal transfer, probiotics, gluten intolerance, food allergy, the role of stress, and the low-FODMAP diet. She discusses protocols for GERD, IBS, and colitis as well as key supplements to support GI health. There’s no one-size-fits-all diet for GI problems; protocols need to be individualized to suit patients’ unique characteristics and may require detective work. Empowering breakthroughs can be achieved through proper natural interventions. Click HERE for part 2.

ENCORE: Combating America’s Diet-Related Disease Epidemics, Part 1
January 11, 2022
Learn all about the newly-launched American Nutrition Association’s (www.theANA.org) efforts to revolutionize science-based nutrition to combat America’s diet-related disease epidemics. ANA’s co-founder Corinne Bush, MS, CNS is on a mission to change our health care paradigm by harnessing Personalized Nutrition. The ANA offers training and certification to licensed health professionals via the CNS (Certified Nutrition Specialist) credential. Underlying Personalized Nutrition is the notion that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to food and supplement prescribing. New advances enable skilled practitioners to precisely target recommendations. The ANA offers conferences and learning modules that are intended to address critical knowledge gaps that limit health practitioners from leveraging the full curative potential of nutrition. Proper nutrition and supplementation have the potential to save our floundering healthcare system from the burdens of preventable disease. Click HERE for part 2.
