The Trust Your Gut Podcast

Low back pain is the number one cause for disability in America. And for many of those people, spinal surgery feels like their only option.

However, only a very small number of people with spinal problems should ever get surgery. This goes for disc issues, or stenosis, or most other causes of back pain. 

So, if you’re considering spinal surgery, please do your due diligence and ask all of these questions at a minimum before considering any surgery whatsoever.

In general spinal surgery does NOT come with a high success rate, and you MUST exhaust all conservative options before giving it a shot!

I hear way too many stories of people trying to detox from things like parasites, mold, heavy metals, and all the other things, and they make themselves more sick than they started. Why?

Because their body wasn’t draining properly in the first place and that’s why it got locked up with biotoxins to begin with!

So how do you open your drainage pathways? Stop adding more toxins - so eat a healthy diet and clean up your environment; drink lots of clean water; get lymphatic drainage regularly; and sweat a lot through exercise and sauna.

But, you also need to support your detox pathways - mainly the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. And the best way to do that in my opinion is using the cellcore jumpstart kit for 1-3 months.

When you’re dealing with chronic illness and you feel inflamed, then you need to do the right testing to see how bad the inflammation is.

The level of inflammation gives you a good idea of how your body is handling whatever illness is going on - from cancer to autoimmune disease.

So the best panel I recommend is the fatty acid panel, and make sure it includes the AA/EPA ratio. Here’s a link to a really good quality test that you can do at home with a simple blood spot - https://www.zinzino.com/shop/2012993781/US/en-US/products/shop/home-health-tests/309000

If you want to do that test and then get help understanding the results, comment below and I’ll help you analyze them!

Before you waste time and money on expensive skin treatments or medications to clear up skin breakouts, make sure your gut is functioning properly!

We have 4 detox pathways - our poop, pee, breath, and skin. If the first 2 pathways aren’t working properly, then the skin is where our body will try to force out toxins. If it can’t get out the gut, it will come out in the skin!

Start with eating a diet that helps seal the gut instead of creating more leaky gut. Also work on opening your drainage pathways by sweating more while supporting the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, and gut.

If you fix the gut, you’ll almost always notice a difference in skin health and appearance!

Out of the millions of women around the world who are prescribed birth control every year, how many are told about the serious long term risks associated with taking birth control?

Taking birth control can lead to imbalance hormones, increased inflammation, destroy the gut, and even increase the chance of strokes and heart conditions. They can also cause long term fertility issues.

So, taking birth control for any other reason than contraceptive reasons is never the right move in my opinion. You’re far better off finding the root cause of the hormonal imbalance issues and fixing those properly rather than slapping a bandaid on it.

With regards to contraception, there’s also better options that aren’t as big a danger to your health. So it’s really hard to find any reason why taking the birth control pill has more benefits than risks!

This was one of the most fascinating interviews I've ever been a part of!

Tom Paladino is changing the world by tapping into something that Tesla himself was researching - scalar enrgy.

On the surface, it might sound very "airy fairy" when we talk about using a technology that can tap into the energy source of the universe - the light and energy emitted by the sun and all of the other stars.

But, when you hear Tom break this down in a simple way, it makes so much sense. He can use his machine to help improve people's health, even if you live on the other side of the world.

And this scalar energy may be the answer we are looking for if we are worried about our energy sources on this planet running out.

Trust me when I say this is an interview you don't want to miss! And if you have any questions about this interview, either send me a message, or you can reach Tom here:

DIGESTION DOESN'T START IN YOUR GUT. DIGESTION STARTS IN YOUR BRAIN – before food even enters your mouth! When you anticipate or smell food, your brain sends signals to stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and gastric juices in the stomach.

This is why stress can cause digestive issues! During the fight-or-flight response, triggered by stress, the body directs resources away from internal systems like reproduction, immunity, and digestion to deal with the threat our body thinks is there. This happens whether the threat is real or not - as long as the brain perceives it to be real, to your body it is real!

This nervous system response can lead to reduced blood flow to the digestive organs and decreased enzyme secretion, impacting proper digestion. As a result, the digestive process becomes compromised, leading to symptoms such as constipation, bloating, and food intolerances.

This is why we say that your fight/flight actually fights the gut!

So what can you do about it? It is crucial to activate the brain through relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices. By engaging in activities that induce a state of relaxation, like deep breathing exercises, meditation, singing, humming, or gentle movement, we can move our body out of the fight-or-flight mode and into a rest and digest state. This allows the body to redirect resources back to the digestive organs, improve blood flow, and enhance enzyme secretion.

I had such a great interview with Dr. Cori last time that we decided to connect again on her show (https://www.youtube.com/@dr.coristern).

This time we discussed parasites and the fact that nearly every human is dealing with them.

We talked about why they're so damaging to our health, and our favorite methods for managing and eliminating them.

We will be teaming up to do more episodes together on a range of different health topics so stay tuned for those!

Hearing the word “cancer” come out of your doctor’s mouth can be one of the most scary things you’ll ever hear.

So, you somehow have to pull yourself out of the emotions of fear to be able to make the best decision regarding treatment and how you’ll move forward.

There’s a very long list of questions that you need to ask any cancer doctor (integrative or oncological) before you commit to any kind of treatment. In this video I try to cover the most important ones, but there’s many more you can add!

If you’re struggling with digestive problems then you’ve probably already tried almost everything - from changing diet, to different supplements, maybe even some medications.

But, if you’ve literally tried everything and still haven’t found any success, then you might be missing one of the most important causes that is so often missed - stress!

Both short term acute stress and long term chronic stress will ruin gut and intestinal function because stress keeps you trapped in a fight/flight nervous system response.

The problem with this is there’s 3 major body systems that won’t function properly during this state - the immune system, reproductive system, and GI system. Especially when you’re stuck in this state for long periods of time.

In this episode, I discuss how to know if this is you, and what you can do to unlock your nervous system.
