Thanksgiving Survival Guide: Stop Bloating, Leaky Gut & Metabolic Chaos

Is Thanksgiving the "Super Bowl" of overeating?

 Let’s be honest: Thanksgiving is a day filled with gratitude, family, and usually, a heroic amount of food. But unfortunately, your gut usually ends up being the losing team.

If you are dreading the post-dinner "food coma," the button-popping bloating, or the brain fog that lasts all weekend, this episode is your survival guide.

 In this special Holiday Edition of the Rebel Reset Podcast, Dr. Infantino breaks down exactly why the average 4,000-calorie Thanksgiving meal sends your body into "metabolic chaos"—and how to fix it. We aren't telling you to eat like a rabbit; we are teaching you how to be strategic so you can enjoy the feast without the inflammation.

 In this episode, you will learn:

* The "Starvation" Myth: Why "saving calories" for dinner is actually the fastest way to wreck your digestion.

* The Deadly Duo: Why combining Sugar + Alcohol destroys your liver detox pathways and kills the gut bacteria responsible for 95% of your serotonin (hello, holiday depression).

* Gravy & Gut Health: The hidden chemicals in store-bought gravy and Dr. Infantino’s 2-ingredient "Arrowroot Hack" for a cleaner alternative.

* The Tryptophan Lie: Why the turkey isn't actually what’s making you tired (and what the real culprit is).

* The 7-Step Survival Blueprint: Practical tips on hydration, protein pacing, and the one thing you must do 15 minutes after dinner to slash your blood sugar spike by 40%.
 
 Smart Thanksgiving Swaps Mentioned:

* Mashed Potatoes ... 50/50 split Cauliflower Mash (with butter!)

* Canned Cranberry ... Fresh berries with honey/stevia

* Traditional Stuffing ... Wild Rice Stuffing

* Dessert ... Dr. Infantino’s "Perfect Balance" Chocolate Pudding

Say goodbye to the "food baby" and hello to a high-energy holiday.

If your kitchen cabinet is stuffed with half-used vitamins, probiotics, magnesium, and “metabolism boosters,” this episode is your reset. Dr. Infantino breaks down how to stop guessing with supplements, what actually works (and why), and how to test whether a product is doing anything for your body. You’ll learn why most people use supplements to chase symptoms instead of fixing root causes, how to spot junk (and mislabeling), and the minimal “foundation” stack worth considering while you repair the real problem.

In this episode we cover:
• Why many supplements “work” only as symptom managers (and what to do instead).
• The big quality problem with supplements and mislabeled formulas
• Magnesium for constipation: why it’s like “drinking salt water” (osmosis explained)
• Can’t lose weight doing “all the right things”? Think hormone balance, not “metabolism boosters” 
• The most common root cause: gut and/or liver imbalance (and how to approach it) 
• A practical way to test if a supplement plan is working (reintroduce trigger foods) 
• A minimalist “foundation” stack: multi/minerals, periodic probiotics, salmon oil, antioxidants — and when they help 
• How to use herbals as a short-term tool to cleanse/repair, not a forever crutch 

The key takeaway is use supplements strategically and temporarily to help your gut and liver heal, confirm progress with simple tests, then keep only the bare minimum for maintenance.

You’ll learn:

• The truth about yeast and candida (and how they hijack your gut)
• Why chronic fatigue, brain fog, and weight gain often start in your microbiome
• How antibiotics, sugar, and stress feed the problem
• A simple, natural game plan to rebalance your gut and restart fat-burning mode

If you’ve been trying to get healthy but something still feels “off,” this episode connects the dots.

We trace stubborn symptoms back to a damaged gut lining and an overworked liver, showing why probiotics, keto, and fasting stall without rebuilding the villi. A practical plan emerges: scrub the biofilm, restore the gut, repopulate good bacteria, and free the liver to burn fat.

• why supplements manage symptoms but miss causes

• how antibiotics, NSAIDs, and chemicals flatten villi

• biofilm and yeast turning digestion into fermentation

• leaky gut driving food sensitivities and fatigue

• reflux as bubbles, not excess acid

• ethanol and acetaldehyde burdening the liver

• insulin spikes from poor digestion blocking fat loss

• the sequence: scrub, regrow villi, repopulate, support liver

• minimalist supplement strategy that actually works

• signs your gut-liver axis is back online

Head over to join.drinfantino.com. In there, there's a video where I explain all of this in more detail. There's actually also an opportunity to book a consultation so we can dive into what's going on with you, see if this is actually something I can help you with.

Welcome back to the Rebel Rest Podcast with Dr.Infantino. Today we are diving into the topic of environmental toxins and poisons.  Could these toxins be making you fat?

Just to kick off the debate . . . body sprays, perfumes, and fragrances . . . these are hormone disrupters and they are full of toxins which collect in Fat Cells. The average American has about 600 toxins in one fat cell and every time you go to spray this to smell good you are telling your body to increase its fat cell storage to dilute the toxins you are putting into your body. Ditch the spray and go with all natural non toxic solutions.

I will share with you how my family avoids bad items and provide the simple solution to know what exactly is in the product you are buying from the store.
