After years of struggling with chronic health issues, Craig Brockie found himself questioning the effectiveness of traditional Western medicine, particularly after experiencing the disruptive effects of antibiotics like tetracycline on his microbiome. Craig joins us to share his personal journey from battling acne and anxiety to embracing naturopathic medicine and other holistic practices. Together, we explore the limitations of Western medical paradigms focused on medication and surgery, and advocate for alternative solutions that promote long-term wellness.

Our conversation dives deep into the complex relationship between gut health and overall wellness, highlighting how anxiety and chronic pain can be linked to what we consume. I recount my own struggles with chronic pain and anxiety, which led me to seek help from a naturopathic doctor, revealing issues like leaky gut syndrome and Candida overgrowth. We emphasize the importance of maintaining balanced gut flora disrupted by antibiotics and processed foods, offering insights into managing one's health through education and self-care, citing resources like Dr. William Davis's "Super Gut."

We also venture into the intriguing realms of allergy testing, peptides, and GMOs. Craig provides insights into the benefits of amino acids and the concerns surrounding agricultural practices, while we touch on the evolving trend towards integrative medicine. Our discussion is filled with practical advice and personal stories that inspire listeners to take control of their health journey, challenging conventional approaches and exploring holistic pathways to wellness.
