This episode is not meant to be a long one, but as I tried to keep it as short as possible, I kept adding a little here, and a little there. I wanted to touch on Epsom salts, SIBO - Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fasting, and the migrating motor complex. Some people may not be aware but our body has this built-in mechanism called the Migrating Motor Complex that is only triggered when you are in a fasted state for around 4 hours. This mechanism has 4 phases and some people get theirs activated a little earlier, some a little later, and others very infrequently (Think IBS and SIBO sufferers). You need this migrating motor complex to keep your body functioning optimally. It's just one of many processes that need to function to keep your machine well-oiled. Once it starts to fall apart, you can expect lots of downstream problems as well. I believe that a lot of autoimmune diseases that affect the gut also affect the MMC and therefore fixing this is one of the keys to returning your health.
