Pre-, Pro-, and Post-Biotics... A recipe for a healthy gut!
What’s the formula to a healthy gut? In this article I’ll explain the differences in all the “biotics” you may be hearing about, how they work to keep your gut in tip-top condition, and how they boost your overall health!
“I’m leaking from where, now?”
In this episode we will discuss Intestinal Permeability... aka. "Leaky Gut." We will detail the physiology of Leaky Gut and some very common mechanisms which promote the development of the condition, and the inflammatory cascades which can create a viscous cycle that drives itself over time.
Listen and learn how a breech in the gut barrier can have so much to do with autoimmunity, food sensitivity, joint pain, brain fog, and much much more.
The Cholesterol Misconception
In this episode we discuss some basic fundamentals around cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Is LDL Cholesterol the only thing that matters? I think not. There is more to the story. To get started we will talk about vascular inflammation, LDL particle size and number, a few of the other possible contributing factors in cardiovascular disease, and some easy to obtain laboratory testing which can expand on the typical "Lipid Panel" normally ordered.

Let's Talk Immune System, Plus New COVID-19 Antibody Test Available
I find the approach of simply sheltering in place to be short sighted and not giving justice to the abundant literature that is already published around optimizing immune function. Remember, sheltering in place only helps people avoid exposure to the virus. It does nothing to help a person have a more robust immune response, and it is a healthy and robust immune response that we want to not only fight off this virus if infected, but to provide a person and the community at large a natural immunity to the virus.
Also - I now offer Covid-19 antibody testing. Find out if you’ve already been exposed and have immunity!
My Trip into Hellhole Canyon – A piece about goal setting for ultimate success
Goal setting can be self-sabotaging if not done carefully and mindfully. My much-needed solo trip to the desert ended up filled with valuable lessons about that. I hope my story sheds some light on this very important concept. It easily applies to those of you looking to set healthcare goals or major life changes.
