The Microbiome Report

Sometimes IBD and IBS get rolled up into one explanation, but the truth is that while IBS can be caused by inflammatory bowel disease, they are wildly different diagnoses.

Andrea (@dreeats) talks to Dr. Ilana Gurevich, a licensed acupuncturist and a naturopathic physician, about her struggle with Crohn's, what she sees most commonly in her practice, and how to marry conventional and functional medicine to achieve the best results for remission.

It can be frustrating when you feel like you’re “doing everything right” and still not improving. 

On this episode, Dr. Ami Kapadia joins Andrea to talk about persistent yeast overgrowth when all obvious factors have been ruled out. Andrea and Dr. Kapadia discuss why stool testing isn't a good depiction of yeast/Candida overgrowth, how Dr. Kapadia tests for yeast in her practice, and what steps she takes to get someone on the path to healing.

Typically, we don’t think about picking up the waste byproducts of another species and using them to our advantage. But when it comes to short chain fatty acids - the metabolites of byproducts of our microbes - there’s actually a lot we humans benefit from.

On this episode, Stephen Fleming, president of Traverse Science, talks to Andrea about what short-chain fatty acids are, what they do, what they mean in the body, and where we can find them.

Your musty basement. That rainstorm where you forgot to roll up the windows on your car. That persistent fatigue that you can’t kick no matter how many hours you spend under the covers. Turns out, toxic mold is a big problem.  

In fact, our guest, Dr. Ann Shippy, calls toxic mold exposure an epidemic. On this re-aired episode, we dig into how toxic mold and environmental exposure to chemicals such as glyphosate are disturbing our guts and causing chronic disease.

When we talk about food that are good for the gut, the conversation often revolves around fiber and probiotics. But the world of health- and gut-supportive foods goes far, far beyond those two categories.

On this episode, Meghan Telpner talks to Andrea about two very surprising recipes that can help you heal: a decadent chocolate treat and crackers you can make at home.

When estrogen is in balance, it creates harmony in the body. When it's out of balance, however, it can contribute to everything from PMS to cancer, endometriosis to infertility, mood, heart disease, heavy periods, and so much more. 

This mini-episode features nutritional therapy practitioner Andrea Wien and Emily Sadri, founder of Holistic Women’s Cleveland (@holisticwomenscle) and certified nurse midwife, talking about what estrogen is, why Emily sees this excess of estrogen in her practice, and the importance of the microbiome in keeping estrogen in check.

Can regular people use yoga to improve their gut health with just a moment or two of practice each day? 

Eddie Stern says yes. Eddie is a NYC-based yoga teacher, author and lecturer whose clients have included Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mike D, Lou Reed, and many more.

On this episode, Eddie and Andrea discuss what yoga is (it’s not just poses!), the easiest entry point into yoga and how you might expect your gut to improve with a regular practice. 

They also discuss Eddie’s belief that long-term, life-changing practices start with teeny, incremental daily steps, and he introduces us to a way that nearly guarantees success in starting a yoga and mindfulness practice.
