Do you know why people refer to the gut as the second brain? Within the walls of your digestive system, this “brain in your gut” is revolutionizing medicine’s understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health, and even the way you think. Another area of interest is how signals from the digestive system affect metabolism, raising or reducing risk for certain health conditions. 

In today's episode of Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast, Dr. Kylie is joined by Sandy Wesson, a Registered Nurse, Detox Specialist and Neurofeedback Practitioner. Sandy has extensive clinical experience, which includes 10 years as an Intensive Care Nurse and 10 years of Palliative Care and Hospice nursing. She is also a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and a Certified Gluten-Free Practitioner (CGP).

If you want to understand how important the gut is and learn simple ways to heal an unhealthy gut, this episode will give you the answer.

“When we don't have enough good gut bacteria and we're deficient in serotonin, then sometimes there's more anxiety, depression, just some of those other things. Just like GABA and dopamine, we have to have good gut bacteria for that.”

Do you know someone dealing with health issues that don't make sense or someone with a severe heart condition? Can you imagine what they go through as they find the cure for their disease?

In today's episode of Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast, Dr. Kylie chats with Andrew Carlson, a Cellular Health & Brain Coach. He is the founder of LimitlessSuccess & a managing partner in Complete Cellular Detox.

Tune in to hear Andrew's story and discover how he found the solution that would finally restore his health. 

“When it comes to the cardiovascular system, I didn't even realize the level of impact that it would have on when you heal the cells. All of a sudden, the cardiovascular system was also operating properly.”

One of the hardest things for a parent is when their child gets sick or hurt, especially when they don't know what's causing the illness. It gets worse when the child is diagnosed with a chronic disease like Celiac disease, a condition where your immune system attacks your tissues when you eat gluten. This damages your gut (small intestine), so you cannot take in nutrients. So what would you do if doctors told you your two-year-old has it?

In today's episode of the Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast, Dr. Kylie interviews Laura Tate, founder and CEO of Empowering Health and Legacy. Laura pioneered the Empower-Mom Method, a step-by-step program to help moms with kids newly diagnosed with Celiac. She is a registered nurse and certified Natural Health professional who brings insight and knowledge from her 15+ years of experience in the medical field.

When her daughter was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Laura used her knowledge to support her child and her family through the tough times. Now she shares her knowledge and experience to help other families navigate their journey of Celiac while building a stronger foundation of health and happiness for people in different communities. 

Join Dr. Kylie and Laura as they discuss the basics of taking care of a child with a terminal condition while continuing to thrive. 

“You can't have a legacy without empowering your health.”

-  Laura Tate

In This Episode:

- What were the symptoms that indicated that Laura's child may be suffering from a chronic disease?

- How to navigate the journey when your young child gets seriously ill 

- 3 Recommendations for a parent whose child receives a dreadful diagnosis

Have you ever experienced waking up tired even after sleeping for 12 hours? Do you constantly feel terrible for no apparent reason? Then you may have chronic fatigue syndrome. If you're trying to figure out what's causing it, there's a simple test you can do. 

Get out of your house, take a vacation someplace else, and see if you feel better. If you do, it's almost certain that your environment is causing your sickness. Shocking but true! That's exactly what Lauren Nelson experienced, and she's here to share her story.

Lauren struggled for years with chronic illness. When she went to several doctors, they said everything “looked normal.” So she took healing into her own hands, went back to school, and learned everything she could about blood work and the emotional side of healing. Her determination and desire to heal led Lauren to become certified as a health consultant, blood work specialist, and MBSR Practitioner. 

Lauren talks about her journey to uncovering the root cause of her illness and her 3-step healing process to healing it in today's episode of the Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast with Dr. Kylie. 

If you've been suffering from chronic fatigue or any illness but you've been told that your blood work is normal and you want to know your options to heal completely, this episode is for you!

“I'm not going to let anybody–my family, friends, whoever I may come across–go through what I've gone through. So now I work with clients, I work with them to make sure their environment is clear, I assess their blood work, I assess their emotional healing. I think that emotions are 50% of what we go through with illness.”

-  Lauren Nelson

In This Episode:

- Is your house making you sick? What must you do?

- How to test for black mold toxicity

- How Lauren helps patients by healing not just the body

- 3 steps to determine what's causing your illness and how to support your body in healing

- Is there a marker in your blood work that would indicate mold infection?

Can you tell if someone is healthy just by looking at their overall appearance? Sometimes, a person's posture, muscle tone, body shape, hair, and nail qualities–and even how thick their eyebrows are–could indicate one's health condition. At other times, outward appearance can be deceiving. But there is probably no greater indicator of health than the skin, the largest organ in the body. So a person's skin quality is revealing. 

In this episode of Beyond the Diagnosis Podcast, Dr. Kylie interviews Abigail Maddox, a Skin Care Maven & Health Empowerment Practitioner. Abigail focuses on a non-invasive and holistic approach to health and believes that our bodies are resilient and can heal if we give them the right environment and support.

Tune in to discover what your skin is telling you about your overall health status and what you can do about it. Take advantage of the critical information discussed by Dr. Kylie and Abigail today.

“Having thick, bushy eyebrows is a sign of good health. I never thought of it that way. But in TCM, they say that when you're actually very vibrant, you actually have very thick eyebrows. I would have never thought of that before I learned about it.”

-  Abigail Maddox 

In This Episode:

- What the condition of your eyebrow means healthwise

- The color of your skin and its connection to the condition of your body

- What the area around your eyes say about your health

- How to apply the knowledge of skin-organ relationship to determine health issues

- Abigail shares her favorite client success story

Do you know what it's like to have an unhealthy gut? A breach in the gut wall allows bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and toxins to enter the bloodstream, leading to various unpleasant symptoms. When that happens, your immune system works continuously without rest. As a result, it eventually becomes overwhelmed, leading to immune problems that cause other health issues. But before you try to fix anything, you must heal your gut. 

Today's episode is Part 2 of the case study on a patient with a severely messed up gut. Picking up from Part 1 where Dr. Kylie reads the patient's lab results to determine what's going on, she then prescribes a 3-step treatment plan. 

If you or someone you know is suffering from gut health issues or experiencing symptoms of a messed up gut, tune in to this episode to learn how to start your healing journey using the blood work you already have.
