But to make sure you aren’t jumping ship on a protocol that may actually be working for you, it’s important to learn how to recognize the difference between die-off and intolerance.  Join me to learn how to best navigate Herxheimer symptoms and what you can do to manage them.    Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32491752/#:~:text=It%20usually%20manifests%20as%20fever,and%20exacerbation%20of%20skin%20lesions.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23632012/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28078798/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21381407/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29508268/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29460487/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24891990/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32020750/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29493919/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31935866/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33380301/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31680558/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35094209/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29763052/#:~:text=Vitamin%20C%20is%20a%20water,intake%20of%20fruits%20and%20vegetables.  Related Resources Probiotic Side Effects & How to Fix Them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbHCR6esOuY  My articles: https://drruscio.com/blog/ My book: https://drruscio.com/getgutbook/  Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  02:37 Symptoms of die off 03:34 The prevalence of die off 05:32 How to distinguish die off from intolerance  08:16 The protocol  11:25 Other die off supports 14:46 Antimicrobial die off   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, I debunk the myth that probiotics are harmful.  Recently, some thought leaders have been suggesting that lactobacillus probiotics should be avoided in those with SIBO.  But the problem with this take is the research that was favored versus the data that was dismissed...  Tune in to hear more.  Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34724979/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F1UxBbPthSGWZf9IlUejgnvHP1dzln6B/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=100741720065499617900&rtpof=true&sd=true  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34724979/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35433498/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33828554/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28267052/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37168869/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28045137/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28866243/   Other Sources How to use probiotics for stomach issues: https://drruscio.com/probiotics-for-stomach/  All about probiotics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7OSa1zh760&t=634s Probiotics for IBS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jZ80EIgCpU&t=5s  Probiotics for SIBO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKUk5Vc1Lxw&t=1s    Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:26 A myth based on bad science 02:27 What the data ACTUALLY shows 03:59 What data should you trust? 05:34 Keep an eye out for bias 06:22 Data shouldn’t be dismissive 07:17 Probiotics for SIBO: The truth 07:50 Smart doesn’t mean unbiased 08:58 No need to avoid lactobacillus   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response.  When the immune response is heightened, there’s a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue.  This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.    Featured Studies  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S221295881730160X#:~:text=Results,and%2017%E2%80%9365%25%20respectively. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37168869/    Featured Products:  Lacto-bifido Probiotic Blend: https://store.drruscio.com/products/lacto-bifido-probiotic-blend   Soil-Based Probiotic: https://store.drruscio.com/products/soil-based-probiotic   Other Sources Symptoms of leaky gut: https://drruscio.com/symptoms-of-leaky-gut/  Should you get a leaky gut test?: https://drruscio.com/leaky-gut-syndrome-test/  Leaky gut diet plan: https://drruscio.com/leaky-gut-diet-plan/  How to use probiotics for leaky gut: https://drruscio.com/probiotics-for-leaky-gut/   Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:55 What is leaky gut? 03:16 How prevalent IS leaky gut? 04:10 Factors that increase risk 05:58 Symptoms aren’t just digestive 06:39 Can probiotics help leaky gut? 09:35 An important finding 10:57 What’s the best protocol? 13:18 Probiotic formulas 15:37 You don’t have to keep testing   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, I cover updates to gut research. These updates are grouped into two main categories: gut dysbiosis and immune system.  Gut health and immune health go hand-in-hand, so it may not be so shocking to hear how lowering gut inflammation can boost immunity. What exactly works to improve digestive symptoms and immune function?

In this episode, Dr. Sunjya Schweig—an expert in complex chronic illnesses—speaks about the first responder health program he devised for the Berkeley Fire Department.  Exposure to extreme stressors leaves first responders prone to many health risks themselves. To date, the top two killers within this profession are cancer and suicide.  Recognizing the need to help first responders with their physical and mental health, Dr. Schweig built a program that follows many of the best practices we use at our clinic.  Hear what gut health, nutrition, stress management, and sleep techniques can help improve overall health.    Featured Studies  https://rudermanfoundation.org/white_papers/police-officers-and-firefighters-are-more-likely-to-die-by-suicide-than-in-line-of-duty/ https://www.wshu.org/news/2019-04-01/suicide-the-leading-cause-of-death-for-police-officers-data-show#stream/0 https://www.nami.org/Advocacy/Crisis-Intervention/Law-Enforcement https://www.police1.com/police-products/fitness-mental-health-wellness/articles/tackling-the-obesity-epidemic-in-law-enforcement-Wjww8YOny7DXry6Z/    Featured Resources Effects of Stress on the Brain: https://drruscio.com/effects-of-stress-on-the-brain/  California Center of Functional Medicine’s Project Wellness Program: https://www.ccfmed.com/functional-medicine/first-responders  HeartMath Biofeedback App: https://www.heartmath.com/  Buddify Meditation App: https://buddhify.com/  Align Podcast: https://www.alignpodcast.com/  Neuroplasticity Healing: https://drruscio.com/neuroplasticity-healing/  Breath by James Nestor: https://www.amazon.com/Breath-New-Science-Lost-Art/dp/0735213615  Gupta Program for Brain Retraining: https://www.guptaprogram.com/ Zemedy IBS & Gut Health Care App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/zemedy-ibs-gut-health-care/id1442789941  Timestamps 00:00 Intro  05:33 What the Right Care Looks Like  09:30 The First Responder Program 14:00 EMS Stress Management 18:35 Hallmark Symptoms of PTSD 22:00 Effective Stress Tools  24:27 Useful Apps 26:48 The Impact of Breathwork 29:07 EMS Cancer Risks 32:28 Structuring Shiftwork 37:39 The Conditions Being Seen 39:41 The Tools Being Used 42:30 Ketamine & Psilocybin 45:36 Avoiding Burnout 46:59 Time in Nature   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Weight loss is a perennial struggle for many people, and it’s not because they haven’t tried every approach available (including counting calories, restricting carbs, and increasing the amount of exercise they get). Today’s podcast guest, obesity expert Dr. Barbara Corkey, explains that many people have difficulty losing weight due to factors that go beyond behavioral change. These include the changing macronutrient content of food, additives in carbs that may be affecting our metabolism, and the resulting rise in metabolic disease. We discuss how individual differences affect the ability to lose weight, the role of genetics and heredity, and how to sort through all of the noise to find the weight loss approach that works best for you. https://drruscio.com/why-some-people-cant-lose-weight My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook  If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com  Looking for more?

In this episode, I share one proven and simple supplement for depression. Depression rates continue to climb, with one out of ten adults and one out of five children experiencing the condition.  To counteract depression, research reiterates the value of taking probiotics—a supplement widely used for digestive disorders. Having a healthy gut can help balance mood.  Listen in to discover why probiotics and other simple, non-supplemental interventions are worth adding to your mental health toolkit.    Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36272761/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32905958/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36573969/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537102/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26767708/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28483500/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34620373/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29995348/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32528399/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35348020/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33872182/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31197192/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36059042/  The serotonin theory of depression (the recent study that’s changing the conversation): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0    Featured Probiotics SuperSmart: https://www.amazon.com/Supersmart-Probiotics-Prebiotics-Bifidobacterium-Microbacteria/dp/B00LPJLBPS/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=bifidobacterium+longum&qid=1684164085&sr=8-7  Life Extension: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Balance-Vegetarian-Capsules/dp/B007GAQOJ8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=bifidobacterium+longum&qid=1684164085&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE5Wlg5TUpZSjRSVk0mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAzNzY0NzQzSDBEMTBHNzY2Wlk5JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzOTUyMDUxNFlaSUlHN05DT09WJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Functional Medicine Formulations: https://store.drruscio.com/products/lacto-bifido-probiotic-blend?variant=28700115468340 Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:42 What is Depression? 01:59 The Limbic System 06:59 A Word About SSRIs 07:47 Study: Probiotics & Brain Health 11:04 The Protocol  13:15 Doing the Math on Probiotics 14:42 Non-Supplemental Mood Boosts 16:29 Summary   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, Kyle—a patient at our clinic—shares his gut healing story from beginning to end. When Kyle first came to the clinic, he was already putting in the work with another clinician to resolve his insomnia, upset stomach, diarrhea, vertigo, SIBO, and heart flutters.  In working with him, I was able to see he was missing basic gut support and needed to focus more on treating his symptoms rather than lab values.  Kyle’s gut healing story was a success.

In this episode, you’ll learn the best way to take probiotics. Probiotics are a staple for many in their gut-healing journey—and for good reason. They have been shown to help improve digestive and non-digestive symptoms, ranging from diarrhea to brain fog.  While the benefits of probiotics are known, there remains uncertainty about how long to take them for, if they should be taken with or without food, and how often to take them.  Tune in to the episode to get clarity on how to take probiotics to improve your health.  Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28008787/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31277101/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35433498/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35820261/ https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/90-98.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35659967/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34287081/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36705359/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32317962/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27296254/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35433498/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35355730/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9631772/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35255819/  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9076325/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35545584/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37032411/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35578355/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36630947/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28267052/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32005532/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34385227/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28008787/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28653751/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36178333/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9163095/pdf/41398_2022_Article_1977.pdf https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32524647/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35663980/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30854594/  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34955840/  Continue Learning Breaking Down the Different Types of Probiotics: https://drruscio.com/types-of-probiotics  Why Multi-strain Probiotics Are More Effective Than Singular Strains: https://drruscio.com/multi-strain-probiotic/  Signs You Need Probiotics: https://drruscio.com/what-are-the-signs-you-need-probiotics/  Using Probiotics with SIBO: https://drruscio.com/sibo-probiotics/  Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  01:05 How Often Should You Take Probiotics? 03:02 With or Without Food? 06:39 How Long to Take Probiotics 16:57 Formulas & Dosing 21:42 Recommended Doses 22:54 What Type Should You Take? 26:19 Why Use Multiple Strains?  28:18 Summary of Recommendations Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, Dr. Lucy Mailing answers the question, “Does exercise impact gut health?” Inspired by her journey with chronic eczema, Dr. Mailing started looking into the gut-skin connection to improve her symptoms.  Seeing this connection spurred her research and career in gut health, the microbiome, and nutrition science.  When it comes to improving gut health, evidence shows exercise can help. But, how much exercise is needed? What type of exercise intensity is most effective? What diets and supplements can be paired with exercise to enhance gut health?  Join the discussion with Dr. Mailing and me as we discuss fine-tuning your exercise regime to benefit your gut microbiome.  Featured Studies  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30883471/    Continue Learning Finding your exercise frequency: https://drruscio.com/should-i-workout-every-day/  On too much fiber: https://drruscio.com/can-you-eat-too-much-fiber/  Gut-healing diets: https://drruscio.com/gut-healing-diet/  A butyrate breakdown: https://drruscio.com/what-is-butyrate/  Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources   Timestamps 00:00 Intro  04:31 If You’re Not Exercising Enough 09:42 If You’re Exercising Too Much 18:30 Exercise Benefits on the Microbiota 24:20 Optimal Frequency, Intensity, & Duration 25:22 Fiber: Overhyped? 31:36 Diets 34:30 Butyrate 38:50 Results Take Time 42:16 Fungus Isn’t Always Bad 44:18 The Best Fungal Testing   Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelrusciodc/   DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, I answer the question, “Is your thyroid diagnosis correct?” Surprisingly, this question is asked more commonly than you think. Even in the functional medicine sphere, thyroid issues are overdiagnosed and overtreated, often leading patients down the wrong treatment path.  Rather than being shoehorned into a thyroid diagnosis, it’s important to look at the scientific evidence that explains why it may not be your thyroid causing symptoms of fatigue, digestive issues, or brain fog. Listen in to hear when thyroid medication and interventions are necessary, what TPO and TSH levels indicate a thyroid issue, and what steps you can take to discover the true root cause of your health issues.

In this episode,  the spotlight is on Sally’s successful gut healing story. While Sally tried a low histamine diet and other remedies on her own, she didn’t find relief of her chronic GI and histamine-related symptoms until working with Dr. Hannah Hamlin from our clinic.  Taking note of Sally’s symptoms, labs, medical history, and previous treatments she’s tried, Dr. Hamlin devised a plan with two of our clinic’s most effective therapies: triple therapy probiotics and an elemental diet.  Hear how these remedies helped Sally feel more confident about what she can eat and provided her with the healing she was looking for.  Featured In This Episode  My Book, Healthy Gut, Healthy You: https://store.drruscio.com/products/healthy-gut-healthy-you  Triple Therapy Probiotic powder sticks: https://store.drruscio.com/products/triple-therapy-probiotic  Elemental Heal: https://store.drruscio.com/pages/elementalheal  Continue Learning Courses, free guides, and more: https://drruscio.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=drruscio.com_resources Timestamps 00:00 Intro  01:12 Sally’s Gut Symptoms 06:49 Sally’s Treatment Plan 16:42 How Sally’s Feeling Now 22:42 Light at the End of the Tunnel Get the Latest Updates Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrRusciodc Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drrusciodc/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/drmichaelruscio/ DISCLAIMER: The information on this site is not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. David Jockers about what really works for healing leaky gut syndrome. When your gut is “leaky,” symptoms from diarrhea to joint pain to brain fog can occur.  These symptoms point to a larger issue of an overreactive immune response, which can be calmed down with the right tools in place.  At the clinic, we follow the scientific evidence and listen to how our patients respond to various treatments. With healing leaky gut, we’ve found one supplement that works across the board for patients. We’ve also found what doesn’t work, despite the hype around these modalities.  Listen to the episode to hear the best ways to get a healthier gut and you. https://www.drruscio.com/leaky-gut-inflammation       

In this episode, I share how one of our patients, Amy, struggled to find success with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for symptoms of anxiety and depression and instead found relief with probiotics.  As she worked through these issues with our clinic’s Dr. Scott, she was able to see the connections between her mood, hormones, and gut health. Amy’s other symptoms were gas, bloating, loose stools, and insomnia.  While there’s not one magic bullet that resolves everyone’s symptoms, probiotics made a substantial difference in Amy’s overall health.  Tune in to hear more about her health journey and how probiotics improve cortisol, gut dysbiosis, sleep, and more. https://www.drruscio.com/hrt-for-symptoms  My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com Looking for more?

For optimal healing, a patient needs their symptoms, not their lab test results, to be treated. In this episode, I offer dietary and lifestyle solutions for people looking to improve their gut microbiome and overcome digestive and non-digestive symptoms caused by small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and gut dysbiosis.  Listen in to hear the answers to these specific questions:  What test do you recommend for gut dysbiosis, even if you've already been tested for SIBO and it was negative? I have SIBO-related symptoms. Can I do treatments without getting tested for SIBO?  What are your thoughts on using the Food Marble for monitoring the efficacy of SIBO treatment and food intolerances?  I have had chronic SIBO for 10 years which was not diagnosed until approximately 4 years ago. I feel like I have to stay on antimicrobials indefinitely. I react to most foods when I add them in, therefore my diet is extremely limited. Why am I so reactive to food?  I understand that Dr. Ruscio likes to try the triple probiotic therapy first with SIBO before trying antibiotics or antimicrobials. However, from what I learned you want to avoid lactobacillus species since they are hydrogen-producing and like to live in the small intestine. For that reason, should I just try S. boulardii, bifidobacterium, and soil based?  How long should I take herbal antimicrobials when treating SIBO? I have tested positive for SIBO, methane predominant, and I tried Rifaximin and neomycin. These improved my SIBO breath test but had major gas and belching, brain fog, and fatigue after treatment. I then tried antimicrobial herbs, and SIBO test results were much worse. However, since I’ve stopped herbals, my brain fog and fatigue are much better, but I’m having indigestion/belching with really smelly stools. What is going on?  I’m currently experiencing symptoms of dysbiosis and leaky gut, and I’m not entirely sure if herbal antimicrobials would help my dysbiosis or make it worse. Do antimicrobial herbs kill good bacteria as well? My goal is to rebalance my microbiome in favor of the beneficial bacteria. https://www.drruscio.com/listener-questions-healing-sibo-dysbiosis-food-reactions My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com Looking for more?

As a pelvic floor physical therapist, Dr. Jandra Mueller digs deeper into the root cause of chronic pelvic pain. For some women, it’s explained by endometriosis—an inflammatory condition where endometrial-like tissue lives outside of the uterus. Other symptoms of endometriosis go beyond the pelvic floor, causing painful periods, gut health issues, infertility, and more. While getting a diagnosis for endometriosis is often complex, Dr. Mueller simplifies what women can do to determine if it is driving their symptoms.  https://www.drruscio.com/endometriosis-causes-abdominal-pain-bloating-constipation  My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook  If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com  Looking for more?

I’m so excited to announce that I have finally put together a course on thyroid health. I developed this course because of what I see in my clinical practice every single week: patients who have seen conventional doctors and alternative or functional medicine doctors, who have done their own research, and who still have symptoms. My clinical team and I have learned so much by obsessing over all of the latest thyroid, gut, and autoimmunity research, and by working with patients every day. I’m proud to say that we have developed a practical, evidence-based model for treating patients with persistent thyroid problems, and it works. Now, I’m sharing everything we’ve learned with you, to empower you to take back control of your thyroid, your gut, your overall health, and your life. https://drruscio.com/thyroid-course/  In today’s episode, I’ll walk you through the first four modules of my new thyroid course, which focus on the current state of thyroid care, some of the most pervasive myths in the thyroid community, real cases studies from our clinic, how to really define your thyroid condition and interpret your labs, where the gaps are in both conventional and alternative medicine, and more. Later, we’ll cover the treatments and diets that do and don’t work, and how to properly sequence them and put them into action so that you can feel better. https://drruscio.com/how-to-diagnose-hypothyroid-and-hashimotos-and-reliable-symptoms  My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook  If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com  Looking for more?

Did you know that there are over 100 healthy foods rich in prebiotics? Prebiotics help feed the good bacteria in our gut and have been shown to reduce inflammation, repair leaky gut syndrome, bolster short-chain fatty acid production, improve constipation and mood, prevent migraines, and so much more. While I advise to eat the widest array possible from the food list we provide, I also exercise caution as consuming too many prebiotic-rich foods (especially with a sensitive gut) may increase symptoms of gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Watch the video to learn more about prebiotic foods and if they can help get your gut microbiome in healthy shape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8YJ_WNE6Hc  My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook  If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com  Looking for more?

Struggling with brain fog (brain inflammation) or chronic fatigue (which tends to go hand-in-hand with brain fog)?
