Ever wondered why your doctor does your blood work and tells you that it’s “normal, even though you still feel like trash? 

This is because "normal" reference ranges do not mean "optimal". 

We’re talking about the difference between “normal” and “optimal”, how you can easily understand your blood or other lab results without going back to school to become a doctor, and what other options there are to see what’s ac...

One of the biggest contributors to long term bowel disease, and your inability to heal, is nutrient deficiencies.  This is dangerous because your body needs raw materials – nutrient deficiencies disrupt cellular signalling, weaken your ability to repair, and they force your immune system to operate in a constant state of chaos and breakdown, which is one of the reasons IBD appears to be autoimmune, even though it isn’t.

There's nothing quite as comforting as being gaslit by your doctor when they say that the symptoms all over your body are not connected to your gut. Of course they are - your doctor just doesn't understand it.

This episode is going to help you understand how and why the symptoms you're experiencing all over (skin, headaches, allergies, depression/anxiety, hormone issues, etc.) are NOT just in your head.

Your doctor lied. They may not have meant to, but they did. Bowel diseases like Crohn's, Colitis, Diverticulitis, and IBS, are not at all what you've been told.

In this episode, I'll break down the research in a very simple and easy to understand way, to dismantle the 4 biggest lies your doctor told you about your gut issues. 

They say it's genetic, autoimmune, random (no known cause) or the only options are medic...

Can IBD actually be healed, or even cured? To say "no" would be to assume that inflammation is a random occurrence, which isn’t possible. So we have to say “yes”, because once you know what’s causing it, you can remove the problem and inflammation should stop. 

I do believe that we will see a true cure in the coming years.

SIBO, Parasites and Candida are some of the biggest drivers in Crohn's and Colitis, but your doctor may never test for them. Even if they do, their answer is usually antibiotics, which doesn't fix the problem or answer the question "how did they gut in my gut in the first place?"
