Fun facts about our gut microbiome: . 🦠 We have Fun facts about our gut microbiome: . 🦠 We have 1000 times more bacterial DNA in our digestive tract than there is in our human DNA! 🦠 It’s all about balance and symbiosis… We can’t live without them and they can’t live without us. 🦠 When our gut bugs are out of balance, it can be too few of the good guys, too many of the bad guys, or a combination of both! 🦠 Gram-negative gut bacteria release byproducts called liposaccharide (LPS)endotoxins that can leak through our intestinal lining and cause systemic toxemia and inflammation. If the gut is hyperpermeable, this can be worse. This can even cause inflammation in our brains, think anxiety and brain fog. 🦠 Stress can suppress the growth of the good guys and stimulate the growth of gram-negative bacteria! 🦠 Gut bacteria also send signals to our brains. 🦠There’s over 100 papers that come out about the gut microbiome on a weekly basis! We are learning so much. 🦠 Our approach in functional medicine is to not take random probiotics with no specific proof any longer, but to take researched strains for specific purposes. The research is growing like crazy therefore the applications are growing, on specific strains for mood, weight loss, metabolism, cholesterol, constipation, diarrhea, and on and on… . Test your gut microbes with the G.I. MAP, figure out if you have dysbiosis and what kind, and treat appropriately! Book a discovery call with me if you want to talk more about this and order the G.I. MAP, or go right to my website and order the G.I. MAP today! Easy to do, one small sample at home, send it off with FedEx, results in a week. DNA PCR analysis of your gut microbes. . #Microbiome #Microbiomehealth #Probiotics #FunctionalMedicine #RootCauseMedicine #RootCause #gutmicrobiome #guthealth #PsychoBiotics #VagusNerve #PolyVagalTherapy #gutbrainaxis #gutbrainconmection
Constipation hacks! . 👉🏼 First make sure you Constipation hacks! . 👉🏼 First make sure you’re getting enough fluids, fiber, and movement, these are the basics. 👉🏼 Try adding a pancreatic digestive enzyme, 1-3 with meals. This is good if you have indigestion or a sense of fullness an hour or more after eating or see undigested food in your stool or your stool is floating or greasy. 👉🏼 Try betaine HcL with pepsin to increase stomach secretions - especially if you feel a sense of fullness right after meals, or have difficulty digesting protein. 👉🏼 Magnesium - magnesium deficiency is widespread because it’s depleted in today’s soils. I like malate or glycinate, up to 1000 mg per day in divided doses. Experiment with what amount makes you poop easily! The Calm brand is also good. Magnesium is also good for anxiety and sleep. Especially before bed. Your body can only absorb up to about 500 mg at one time - and most people don’t need that much! Start with 200 - 300 mg before bed. 👉🏼 Bifidobacteria - this is a great bacteria to have in abundance in your colon and will not exacerbate small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or histamine reactions (lactobacillus strains can exacerbate these). Brands that make bifidobacteria only include Align and Klaire Factor 4. 👉🏼 Up your fiber with a powdered supplement. Heather’s Tummy Fiber and Thorne Fibermend are good choices. Drink water with these. Sometimes you need to try a few different ones to find the right fit. Start with soluble fibers like apple pectin, acacia, arabinogalactan, ground flax or chia seeds, or a mix. Bonus is that these are food for good gut bacteria! . Sometimes trying more than one of the above is the perfect “cocktail.“. These are all safe to take except don’t take Betaine HCl if you have an ulcer or gastritis! .

When we shift to a Functional Medicine mindset, we When we shift to a Functional Medicine mindset, we don’t focus on symptom and disease management. which is what Conventional and even Naturopathic medicine can do. A pill for an ill and a supplement for a symptom…. . Instead we rebalance body systems, get labs in optimal ranges, and align the pillars of lifestyle medicine - food, sleep, rest, joy, social support, movement… and as a SIDE EFFECT nagging and unresolved symptoms clear. . It’s a lifestyle-first approach. In my intake forms I ask “Which lifestyle aspects do you feel need help?” ❓Food ❓Movement ❓Support system ❓Fun and play ❓A greater sense of purpose, connection to nature or spirit ❓Sleep ❓A stress reduction practice like meditation, breathwork, yoga, tai chi, prayer, gratitude journal. . Now we have evidence and data piling up that shows lifestyle medicine improves health and longevity and reverses disease as a side effect. ❤️ . #lifestylemedicine #rootcause #rootcausemedicine #functionalmedicine #functionalmedicinedoctor #functionalnutrition #functionalnutritionist #functionalnutritioncoach #functionalhealthcoach #healthcoach #wellness #holistic
More talk about 💩 and constipation …. Here’ More talk about 💩 and constipation …. Here’s how we evaluate with the #bristolstoolchart!
Time to talk about 💩. . New blog on taking a ro Time to talk about 💩. . New blog on taking a root-cause approach to constipation! This is another example of how we address a symptom or issue in Functional Medicine… By asking what is the root cause for the individual. And then when we find the root cause asking why that thing is happening. . So for example here is, constipation may be caused by low stomach acid for one person and small intestine bacterial overgrowth for another person. Then our next question is.. WHY low stomach acid? WHY small intestine bacterial overgrowth? .

Last post in our theme on how to eat more nutrient Last post in our theme on how to eat more nutrient-dense, colorful and yummy starches in the form of vegetables.⁠ This is what humans used to eat… before processed grains were everywhere. The fruit-disguised-as-veggie family has so much to offer! They are full of colorful phytonutrients, antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and A.⁠ Many veggies are actually fruits - like zucchini and tomatoes. Here we focus on the starchy ones that can sub for grains - both for those people who need to go grain free or eat less grains, but also for people who just want to expand their nutrient dense plant foods. .⁠ My latest blog post (link in bio) goes more in-depth into this subject and has a lot of delicious recipe links for these starch “fruit” veggies that may be new to you. Check it out by going to link in bio then clicking on "blog."⁠ - it’s called “Where’s the Bread?” . #glutenfree #healthy #cleaneating #realfood #nutrition #primal #grainfree #whole30 #healthyeating #plantbased #wellness #paleo #paleodiet #aip #autoimmuneprotocol #autoimmunepaleo #rootvegetables #tubers #rootveggies #squash
This is from the Institute for Functional Medicine This is from the Institute for Functional Medicine. . Yay, it’s official. I actually only have two more modules to complete before qualifying for the certification exam. I took the majority of the modules before taking this last step to apply for certification and commit. It’s because I’m scared of the exam! I won’t be taking it until next fall. So once I’m done with the coursework I have a good six months to study. I look at it as an opportunity to keep reviewing and brushing up on my knowledge and skills in a structured way. But my MD friends say the exam is really hard so… I am intimidated nonetheless. . I’m really proud of myself for doing this because IFM is the highest and most respected level of training and certification in the functional medicine field. At least in my opinion! I’ve done a lot of functional medicine training over the past decade, and IFM has always been on my bucket list. The learning never stops! . #ifm #instituteforfunctionalmedicine #functionalmedicine #functionaltraining #functional medicinedoctor #FunctionalMedicineTraining #functionalnutrition #functionalhealthcoach
