ENCORE: Connecting the Dots Between Your Gut Health and Many Common Ailments, Part 1
January 4, 2024
Dr. William Davis, author of the best-selling Wheat Belly series, focuses on the microbiome in his new book "Super Gut: Reprogram Your Microbiome to Restore Health, Lose Weight, and Turn Back the Clock." Dr. Davis relates how the limitations of his conventional cardiology training led him to explore natural alternatives, which fundamentally altered his patients’ trajectory to heart disease. He describes the rationale for gluten avoidance as a path, not just to weight loss, but also to overall health restoration. Dr. Davis goes beyond mere gluten avoidance; it’s necessary to curtail many other offending grains and embrace a low-carb diet. His research has revealed that homemade yogurts, made with specific starters, have a wide range of benefits. A polyphenol and prebiotic-rich diet, probiotic replacement, as well as certain nutraceuticals are critical to restoration of gut integrity. Click HERE for part 2.

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.
