Episode 391: Microplastics

Bloating is so common that it is often accepted as the norm, but we’re here to tell you it is NOT normal to feel bloated, distended, and uncomfortably full all the time. Bloating can indicate a deeper root cause of microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme inadequacy and more. In this episode, we unpack some of the drivers of bloat as well as tried and true solutions, plus we’ll talk through a typical day of eating on a gut cleanse. 
 
In this episode, we discuss 5 ways to beat the bloat, including of course our Beat the Bloat Gut Cleanse. You still have time to join us if you’re listening live (and if not, there’s always the archive option!). Learn about the function of digestive enzymes and whether replacing them will cause your body to produce less on its own, how probiotics in and of themselves can reduce bloating, and how to discern whether food sensitivities might be causing your bloat.

Episode 390: 5 Ways to Beat the Bloat

Do you have a parasite? Are all parasites bad and does everyone need to do a parasite cleanse? In this episode we talk all about parasites! We cover what they are, symptoms of infection, how to treat them…and quite frankly how many people in the wellness space are going overboard with the topic! 
 
In this episode, we cover how common parasitic infections are, types of parasites, and symptoms of infection. We discuss testing for parasites, how some can actually benefit the human body, and our favorite research backed natural compounds to treat a parasitic infection. Plus we discuss our thoughts on coffee enemas, colonics, and how many cleanses are too harsh or go on for too long and can wreak havoc on the microbiome!
