Laxative dependence is causing more issues than you may think

Laxative dependence is causing more issues than you may think

When someone tells me their regularity is good as long as they take ______________ (fill in the blank) every night before bed I think to myself, “That’s not really regularity. That’s assisted regularity. That doesn’t count.”⁠.⁠When someone tells me they live on laxatives and then later on mention they have bloating, cramps, gas, headaches, etc. I usually think to myself, “We really need to get motility going again without the laxatives.”⁠.⁠Getting off of laxatives is usually step 1 in resolving gut health problems. We have protocols to help people get off of laxatives. Regular unassisted motility helps A LOT. ⁠.⁠Our...

How are bone health and gut health connected? - Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3

How are bone health and gut health connected? - Vitamin K2, Vitamin D3

Why should bone health be a focus for those with poor gut health?⁠🔹Overtreatment of thyroid issues can cause bone loss. If anyone has ever had thyroid issues, they know that thyroid levels bounce around a lot.⁠🔹Weakened bones lead to problems with posture.⁠🔹Bloating and constipation are signs of digestive problems and digestive problems lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients for bone health.⁠🔹Antidepressants are found to cause lower bone mineral density.⁠🔹If nails are brittle, then likely so are the bones.⁠.⁠The good news is that gut health can be improved, and studies show that combining Vitamins K2 and D3 together can significantly increase...

Even Benadryl can cause constipation.🤯 Blood pressure medications can cause constipation. You likely don’t have to look much further than medications you take to find where your constipation issues started. When you started having constipation issues, you most likely turned to laxatives. (I’m not referring to bulk forming laxatives like Metamucil, Citrucel, Benefiber, etc.) The “Overuse of laxatives (other than bulk formers) can result in the intestines losing muscle and nerve response, which can lead to dependency on laxatives to have a bowel movement.”https://www.healthline.com/health/laxatives-side-effectsWhen I am trying to help people with their constipation issues, I find in many instances that...

How do you get a better gut cleaner than a pure concentration of antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM)? Immunoglobulins are antibodies. They are the same thing. This is by far better than colostrum. Yes, colostrum contains antibodies, but it is not a concentration of antibodies. ImmunoLin® is a concentration of immunoglobulins. The body naturally attacks foreign invaders by sending out antibodies/immunoglobulins. “Won’t loading up on antibodies spike the antibodies in my blood?

How does poor gut health effect weight gain? - probiotics, metabolism, weigh loss

Wondering how the gut causes weight/fat gain? This cycle feeds on itself AND when it keeps being reinforced a person can’t exercise and diet themselves into weight/fat loss. Let's talk stress and high cortisol. They also cause bacteria imbalances. But since gut bacteria manage stress responses, leaky gut and inflammation can make stress reactions worse by driving up cortisol levels even more. Stress/high cortisol levels and dysbiosis feed off of each other in a vicious cycle. There are genetically skinny people that can make skinny and gut problems co-exist. Lucky people. I'm jealous.

If you have frequent or chronic bloating mixed with either constipation, diarrhea, or constipation and diarrhea coupled with more bloating from healthy foods and fibers it's easy to assume you have some form of SIBO.

Yes, you can count calories burned and calories consumed. That does work for some. But what if it isn't working for you? Or what if there is a better way?

There is a colossal difference between common reseeding probiotic strains (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) and gut managerial strains (B. coagulans, B. subtilis, B. claussi, P. acidilactici, and S. boulardii). Yes, they are technically both probiotics (just like a riding lawnmower and a jet are both modes of transportation), but how they function and what they do is pretty dramatically different. To be blunt, there is a HUGE difference between reseeding probiotics found in yogurt and $20 probiotics found at the store and the heavily researched reseeding strains shown to survive digestion sold by reputable brands.

4 gut health goals that affect everything else - gut health, probiotics, constipation, inflammation, bacteria imbalance, leaky gut

Does taking the right probiotic matter? Absolutely. There is massive noise about probiotics suggesting that all probiotics are the same. If this were the case, the $12 probiotic at the grocery store would be fantastic. The truth is that not only can the strains in a probiotic be totally different (which should indicate a big difference just there), but how the strains function and what they do can be totally different. Therefore, probiotic supplements are not the same. Most people assume more (CFUs) is better, right? Wrong! “CFU amounts are usually in the billions, but the NIH cautions that just...

An alternative to acid blockers that helps with so many more issues - gut health, reflux, heartburn, indigestion

An alternative to acid blockers that helps with so many more issues - gut health, reflux, heartburn, indigestion

What if there is another option that is natural, works very well, works quickly (under 30 days with most people noticing in the first 5 days if not immediately), is not expensive, helps with a lot of other stomach issues, and doesn’t have all the long-term concerns? You can always choose acid blockers. They are super easy to get. Every convenient store on the planet has them. They are super cheap. They work (until they don’t). Acid blockers are an option. That’s true. Here is my suggestion. Just try it once for 30 days. If you have bad reflux (the...

Reflux helps with all your reflux/indigestion/heartburn/etc needs

I may be more excited about this product than anyone else. I get asked about reflux/heartburn all day long. I’ve been loading people up with Upper GI Relief for years to help with reflux. I've felt horrible about the time our past protocols took, the cost, and that they only worked for about 80% of people. To say that Reflux-Mucosa Support is long overdue is a massive understatement. That’s right. After 2 years, Reflux – Mucosa Support is out!!!https://www.silverfernbrand.com/collections/digestive-relief/products/reflux-mucosal-supportYes, it works. Yes, it works fast. Yes, it is natural. It contains prickly pear cactus polysaccharides and olive leaf polyphenols. These...

Histamine Intolerance is known to originate in the gut - gut health

Histamine Intolerance is known to originate in the gut - gut health

If “Histamine Intolerance Originates in the Gut” then does fixing the gut help resolve histamine intolerances? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8069563/#.I'm going to suggest the answer is "yes." .It is clearly a GI disorder. It's caused by a reduction of a gastrointestinal enzyme called DAO. Therefore, it can be assumed that by helping the gut one would help reduce histamine intolerances. .Intestinal mucosal damage (for example) is directly related to reduced DAO activity. When the mucosa is negatively affected histamine issues occur. ."However, DAO activity has been proposed as a marker of the integrity of intestinal mucosa.""...reduced DAO activity was related to the degree...
