Episode 21 - The Healthy Gut Protocol: Part 2- Supplements

Everyone wants to know which supplements they should take to restore the health of their digestive system.

This episode provides the answers.

We start by discussing the specific diet we believe will help restore your gut's health… along with the 3 core supplements you should consider taking EVERY day.

We then describe a 10 Day Gut Reset Protocol that is intended to act as a "framework" you can be used with the guidance of a health care professional. (It is NOT intended to to be used as a treatment or program without such guidance.)

There are three phases in this protocol process, each involving specific supplements:

Phase 1: Digestion

In this phase the emphasis is on digestion… breaking down your foods into usable parts.

Supplements: digestive enzyme (Zypan, AF Betafood, and/or Diaplex) and natural laxative (Colax)

Phase 2: Elimination

In this phase the emphasis is on eliminating parasites and other unhealthy bugs from your digestive system.

Supplements: Parasite Cleansing Herbs (Wormwood and Zymex 2)

Phase 3: Restoration

In this phase the emphasis is on restoring the good bugs into your digestive system.

Supplements: Prebiotic (GI Stability) and Probiotic (Lact-Enz)

————————

By the end of this episode you should have clarity on the direction you want to go with regard to gut health.

Episode 20 - The Healthy Gut Protocol WHY, HOW, WHAT On this episode we begin discussing a protocol that you can implement to improve the health of your gut. We start by addressing three questions: 1) WHY is Gut Health important? 2) HOW do Gut Problems develop? 3) WHAT can be done to correct Gut Problems?

1) WHY is Gut Health important? Because it influences the health of every system of your body! The Immune System, The Hormone System, The Nervous System and, of course, the Digestive System. In addition, EVERY Autoimmune Disorder appears to begin in the gut… and the big "killers" - Heart Disease, Cancer and Type 2 Diabetes - all are negatively impacted by gut dysfunction.

2) HOW do Gut Problems develop? Poor dietary choices… and stress.

3) WHAT can be done to correct Gut Problems? Eat better and work on reducing/eliminating stress. (Yes, we know that's easier said than done). Supplements also play a huge role… and will be the topic of our next episode.

Needless to say, we dive deeper into each of these question in an episode that flows quickly and is full of good information.

Episode 19 - The Role of the Microbiome in Health and Disease

On the past seven episodes we have talked about the Digestive System… literally from top to bottom.

Today, we take a look at the millions of "bugs" that line most of the digestive tract. Bugs that include bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and parasites.

Collectively, these bugs are know as the "Microbiome" and they play a huge role in determining a person's overall level of health and disease.

For example, your brain, your hormones, your immune system, your skin, your digestion, your heart, and even your pain levels are ALL strongly impacted by the health of your Microbiome.

Amazing, right?

So, how does one maintain a healthy Microbiome?

What things damage it?

How can I repair it?

These, and many other topics, including Probiotic supplements are discussed on this week's episode.

You don't want to miss it!

Episode 18 - More Than Just A "Pathway For Poop"

Did you know that the food you eat has a job… and it's NOT to "make you feel good?"

The food you eat is meant to nourish you.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good meal but the primary reason I eat isn't for the food to make me happy.

It's for the food to nourish me!

"How" it does that is through a process called digestion.

Digestion starts with food entering the mouth. It is chewed and then sent to the stomach where it is broken down into small, usable pieces.

When the stomach finishes its job, the food passes into the Small Intestine for further breakdown.

Once the food is completely broken down, the "good" parts of the food - the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars - are ABSORBED into the body so that they can be taken to the muscles, glands and organs.

This is all great, but I have a question:

What happens to the parts of the food that were NOT needed by the body?

The parts that were deemed "not good?"

It's actually quite simple:

The "unwanted" food - along with toxins and dead bacteria - continues down the digestive tract and enters the Large Intestine (also known as the "colon") before eventually being eliminated via a bowel movement.

Not very exciting, right?

Well, actually it is.

You see, a lot actually goes on in the Large Intestine. So much so that it takes about two full days for this unwanted "food" to pass through the Large Intestine.

What happens during that time and how does it impact your health?

THAT is the topic of this episode.

Specifically, we will discuss:

The importance of making sure that whatever enters the Large Intestine LEAVES the Large Intestine. (Toxins laying around can lead to colon cancer)

The first question every doctor should ask a patient

The importance of the "fiber-water" combination

Our favorite herb for dealing with constipation

Our favorite supplements for dealing with hemorrhoids

Our suggestion for eliminating parasites

We also discuss how the Large Intestine is home to so much of our body's microflora… the bacteria that has a profound impact on our health.

Episode 17 - Understanding Leaky Gut

The body is amazing… especially the Digestive System!

Food goes in one end (the mouth) and out the other (the anus). Along the way, the nutrients the body needs to nourish the cells, muscles and organs are taken into the body through a process called absorption.

Specifically absorption occurs in the part of the digestive tract known as the Small Intestine.

The nutrients that are absorbed from the digestive system into the blood stream do so through "tight junctions". These tight junctions only allow "good" nutrients to pass through.

Unfortunately, a poor diet, NSAID's, antibiotics, gluten, dairy, sugar, pesticides, and stress can all create "holes" in these tight junctions, allowing "bad" particles to pass into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body.

These "holes" are referred to as a Leaky Gut and the bad particles that pass into the bloodstream can result in a bunch of health problems… most notably, skin disorders, AutoImmune Disease and neurological disturbances.

Understanding Leaky Gut is vital to maintain and achieve good health.

Be ready to take some notes :)
