![The Hidden Link Between Brain Fog, Fatigue, and Your Gut
Youve probably heard that gut health matters, but did you know your gut problems might not show up as digestive symptoms at all?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Ruscio to uncover the hidden connections between your gut and your overall health.
Dr. Ruscio is a clinical researcher and bestselling author of Healthy Gut, Healthy You. Hes spent years cutting through the dogma in both conventional and alternative medicine to find what actually works. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he speaks at integrative medical conferences around the world.
Today, we dive deep into why common gut tests might be misleading, how to figure out what diet actually works for YOUR body, and the practical steps you can take starting today to heal your gut.
This episode was initially released in September 2018
In this podcast, Dr. Ruscio and I discuss:
How gut problems can manifest as non-digestive symptoms like joint pain, insomnia, and anxiety
Why most gut tests are not clinically validated and what to do instead
The truth about gluten sensitivity
Why listening to your body is more powerful than relying on test results
The difference between SIBO and other forms of gut dysbiosis and what the science actually shows
How to determine if a Paleo diet or low FODMAP diet is right for your unique gut
