Can addressing gut health significantly help improve the most common autoimmune thyroid diseases? The science would say so and so would my wife (who has Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). .Many of the common symptoms for thyroid issues are the same issues people have that struggle with IBS, IBD, SIBO, gluten intolerances, fatigue syndrome, etc. .Yes, it is important to improve your thyroid hormone levels. .But your problems may still remain unless you address your gut health issues too!.Addressing your thyroid and gut health needs together is BEST.

All our products can be emptied out and used away from the capsules. No problem. ⁠.⁠BUT the Upper GI Relief contains a ginger root extract with 4X more gingerols in it. Gingerols are what make ginger work. Because of this, the ginger in Upper GI Relief has a strong ginger flavor that can feel like it is burning if you just take it alone outside the capsule. Please mix it in really well with your meals or a smoothie. It works great outside of the capsule. ⁠.⁠You can mix the enzymes, probiotics, immunoglobulins (Cleanse), etc. in with foods/smoothies too.

Do you need someone that specializes in diarrhea issues? We've got you, literally! .What’s our secret? We recommend the correct dosing of immunoglobulins over the right period of time. Simple as that. 🤯.That's our super-secret (if you consider something that has 50+ human clinical studies supporting its effectiveness on bad diarrhea issues a secret.) .What are immunoglobulins? They are antibodies. And it turns out when a person takes the appropriate dosing of immunoglobulins (specifically IgG, IgA, IgM) they see bad diarrhea issues disappear..Immunoglobulins are intended to help manage bad diarrhea issues (as well as help with an overreactive immune system,...

If you think breastfeeding is good for newborns, you may want to look at immunoglobulins for children. One of the main reasons breastmilk is so good for infants is because it contains high levels of immunoglobulins. .Tiff and I have 5 children ranging from 8 to 18. Our children have used the immunoglobulins off and on for years since they were little. .When we travel with our children (especially out of the country) we require them to take the immunoglobulins daily along with kids' probiotics. Why? Because it helps keep things like traveller's diarrhea at bay..When should a child not...

Same rules apply for helping with diverticulosis as with issues like Crohn’s. ⁠1️⃣ Address motility with the right herbs and gentle fiber (if necessary)⁠2️⃣ Help clean the gut up with an aggressive dosing of immunoglobulins for 8 weeks⁠3️⃣ Help build up the gut with immunoglobulins and probiotics that have shown to work well with immunoglobulins ⁠4️⃣ Help build out the gut with probiotics and prebiotics shown to significantly increase short-chain fatty acids and key bacterium types – bacteria diversity.⁠.⁠With diverticulosis, I take a “go big approach” with my protocols to help. Massive gut corrections aren’t addressed in 30 days or...

I read a lot of information about how people don’t need any added daily vitamins. In some cases, I agree with that. I too believe nutrients are best sourced from foods. The problem is that a person would have to consume huge amounts of produce to get a full range of nutrients daily. .The data for Vitamin B6 helping with mood, brain health, etc. suggests a person needs to take a high daily dose (100 mg) of Vitamin B6 in order for it to help. A normal daily dose is between .3 mg and 1.7 mg. .Also, the research is...

Desperate to address IBD issues?

You can continue to mess around with SIBO related diarrhea issues OR you can clean it out aggressively. You can also do this without antibiotics. 🤯.The science says that high doses of immunoglobulins are very effective at addressing severe SIBO related diarrhea (along with all causes of diarrhea). .This requires high doses of immunoglobulins for 8 weeks. That’s what works and that's what the science supports.

Here are 2 big facts (that shouldn’t be surprising) about addressing bad diarrhea issues: 1️⃣ Bad underlying issues aren’t resolved in a week, and it isn’t resolved with a $25 product.2️⃣ If you rapidly remove all of the causes, the issues then go away and don’t come back.What about addressing C. diff, H. pylori, Candida, mold, E. coli, LPS, leaky gut, etc.? Immunoglobulins, immunoglobulins, immunoglobulins, immunoglobulins, and immunoglobulins. What are immunoglobulins?

What does the term "natural flavors" mean? What are companies hiding in their natural flavors?.One thought is that the company is secretly using preservatives and solvents to extract those natural flavors and don’t want anyone to know. That is a way to look at it. And I not saying that is not a valid concern. .BUT….What if those companies spend millions of dollars each year paying formulators to test various extracts all day long to come up with different flavor profiles that taste good, and they simply don’t want to share that proprietary information with competitors to prevent their competitors...

There is a method and reason to why we address gut issues in a certain order. The fast answer is that the other ways don’t work..I’m sure as most of you with severe constipation and bloating may know, quick gimmicks don’t solve the underlying problems of severe constipation and bloating. In fact, in many instances, laxatives cause more bloating. .Constipation is a sign of slow stomach emptying or slow motility. When the gut is slow it is really difficult to clean up. Bloating will be, in part, helped by addressing constipation issues. .I usually associate severe bloating to really bad...

There is a big reason we are careful to start people on probiotics (of any kind). ⁠.⁠Dumping reseeding probiotic strains (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, etc.) can be the equivalent to inflating a balloon that’s already full or like spraying gas on a fire💥. Too many bacteria in the wrong place with a huge variety of stomach issues is NOT a good thing, and it can make things worse. ⁠.⁠If you are always in pain, bloated, and uncomfortable think about dropping the reseeding probiotic. (I am not saying reseeding probiotics are bad. But for people with stomach issues, reseeding probiotics can make things...

Heartburn?🔥Reflux? Bloating? Constipation? Indigestion? Gas? .PPIs and H2 blockers offer temporary relief for upper GI issues but they were never created for long term use and when used long term can compound issues. .Upper GI Relief helps calm heartburn & reflux and helps increase bile production (yep, bile is a good thing). Plus, it helps increase the wave -like movements of the intestines, getting that 💩 moving through (at a regular pace).

Should probiotics be part of the protocol to help restore gut health? Yes!!!!Are probiotics the best place to start with these big issues? No..🔹S. boulardii alone has been shown to be approximately 33% effective at helping with SIBO issues. .🔹Immunoglobulins have been shown in higher doses to be roughly 75% effective with SIBO issues? What is my personal experience? When a person follows the right protocol for their situation and includes both the immunoglobulins and the right probiotics in the right order the percentage of success is much higher than either alone. Success is always the goal. .🔹Bacillus spore strains...

The World Health Organization defines probiotics as “live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.”(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1479485/#).Based upon this definition, the key for probiotics to be probiotics is that they need to live to provide benefits to the person taking them, right?“…traditional probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidbacterium species, show outstanding probiotic activities, but their survival is generally low, in the order of 1–15%, with some strains performing even more poorly.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1756464619305675#.Because of this, special coatings, capsules, and high CFU counts are used to help overcome the natural tendency common reseeding probiotics have to die...

All gut health protocols should lead to aggressive use of true environmental probiotics. They may not start with probiotics for some people with severe stomach issues, but they should try to get people there ASAP. .Why?.Because they can really help A LOT! And long-term gut health management comes with the use of the right gut management probiotic strains (not to be confused with reseeding lactobacillus & bifidobacterium type strains). .For those of you looking for an amazing probiotic, I strongly recommend having the mighty three Bacillus strains (B. coagulans, B. subtilis, B. clausii) in your probiotic supplement. .These strains are...

Here’s the secret to addressing recurring UTIs: B. subtilis. .The fact is that it is really convenient and inexpensive to get an antibiotic for UTIs. Here’s the problem. The infections keep coming back. .Studies show B. subtilis probiotic administration along with antibiotics was significantly more effective than antibiotics alone in reducing the recurrence of UTIs. B. subtilis reduces the pH of urine, which can inhibit unwanted bacteria species. Further, B. subtilis inhibits the growth of unwanted species (like E. coli). E. coli accounts for 85% of UTIs. .Are there other reasons to use B. subtilis? Absolutely! Bacillus subtilis has been...

Many companies include a tiny amount of a number of popular herbs, nutrients, and new fad ingredients to their labels, but they don’t actually use enough of the ingredient to be effective. The ingredients being used may not even include the compounds necessary to help make the ingredient work (like ginger without a decent amount of gingerols in it).

We do have robust protocols that:✔️Are aggressive ✔️Are thorough✔️Start in the right spot for gut issues (not with probiotics)✔️Work really well when...

Diarrhea/loose stools & bloating protocols start upfront being pretty aggressive with the use of immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are a key to helping with both. So, for those that have rapid motility issues and bloating you are at an advantage over those with slow motility issues in that you can jump to the high doses of immunoglobulins sooner. ⁠.⁠If you do have any form of slow motility and rapid motility (constipation & diarrhea/loose stools), please start with the slow motility issues first. Rapid motility issues are frequently caused by slow motility issues (the system is slow, bad things grow, the body wants...

While there are many reasons and benefits to consuming a high protein diet (animal or plant based), it is also smart to be aware of the potential disadvantages of a high protein diet. .Why should you be aware of the cons of a high protein diet?

Work on constipation/slow motility issues first and then work on bloating, food intolerances, leaky gut, and inflammatory issues second. .There is an order to gut health. When observed and followed, these issues are helped. If a person jumps to part 2 before addressing part 1, issues aren’t helped as well. In fact, if we don’t address motility issues first when they exist the other issues and problems keep coming back. That’s why most gut issues keep sticking around. .I know many of you are anxious to get bloating behind you. I’m very aware of that from the DMs I get...
