    -And what can hunter-gatherers teach us about living a more meaningful life?

    Please join us.

    More About Mark Hawkins:

    Mark A. Hawkins, Ph.D., is an author, educator, and clinical counselor. He has been interviewed by The New York Times, The Daily Telegraph, and several other news outlets and podcasts for his ideas. His research focuses on interdisciplinary understandings of meaning and purpose as they relate to human well-being. Mark was published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology and is the author of The Power of Boredom: Why Boredom is Essential for Creating a Meaningful Life, and The Mismatched Human: Our Fight for a Meaningful Existence.

    In this episode, I debunk the myth that probiotics are harmful.

    Recently, some thought leaders have been suggesting that lactobacillus probiotics should be avoided in those with SIBO.

    But the problem with this take is the research that was favored versus the data that was dismissed...

  • 822 - A Simple & Effective Leaky Gut Repair Protocol

    In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response.

    When the immune response is heightened, there's a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue.

    This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.

    In this episode, I cover updates to gut research. These updates are grouped into two main categories: gut dysbiosis and immune system.

    Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand, so it may not be so shocking to hear how lowering gut inflammation can boost immunity.

    What exactly works to improve digestive symptoms and immune function? This episode features studies that reveal the power of diet and the pitfalls of lab tests and environmental exposures.

  • 820 - A First Responder Health Program That Addresses Mental AND Physical Wellness

    In this episode, Dr. Sunjya Schweig—an expert in complex chronic illnesses—speaks about the first responder health program he devised for the Berkeley Fire Department.

    Exposure to extreme stressors leaves first responders prone to many health risks themselves. To date, the top two killers within this profession are cancer and suicide.

    Recognizing the need to help first responders with their physical and mental health, Dr. Schweig built a program that follows many of the best practices we use at our clinic.

    Hear what gut health, nutrition, stress management, and sleep techniques can help improve overall health.
