Colorectal cancer and the microbiome
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers there are globally and increasing rapidly in non-elderly adults in the United States. However, there is good news. This cancer takes years to develop, so regular screening can help. Second, only about 5% is genetic in origin, so there are many proven modifiable lifestyle […]
Getting Started in life with an Optimal Microbiome
In all of my interactions in helping people, whether it´s with an individual directly, a patient of another practitioner or a subject in a trial, they are always adults. I can make tremendous progress in people, and I have the testimonials to show it. Just visit that tab in my website. I’m always doing the […]
Stomach acid blockers and their effects on the microbiome
I built a very interesting free presentation entitled, “Stomach Acid Blockers and their Effects on the Microbiome”. It really focuses on one particular kind of stomach acid blocker in particular, the PPI – or proton pump inhibitor. This is a topic relevant for many millions of people, given the popularity of these products. So, if […]
Pectin and the microbiome
We all know the saying, “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”, well, I’m going to show you that there’s proof to that statement. Pectin is a wonderful prebiotic, which feeds several of the most beneficial bacteria within your microbiome, including the superstar of the gut, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.
pH and the Microbiome
Usually when someone hears about pH, it’s in science class or when someone is touting a diet to decrease the acidity in your body. In my free presentation entitled, “pH and the Microbiome,” I cover those two, plus the real purpose of the presentation, which is the pH of the vaginal and intestinal microbiome.
Resistant Starch and the Microbiome
The food you eat is usually just thought of as protein, carbohydrates and fats. But the reality is, that it’s much more complicated than that. The fats alone have a variety of different forms and end results. There are phytochemicals (plant compounds) found in whole foods, which can have a myriad of beneficial effects on the body. And of course there’s fiber as well. Or should we say prebiotics?
Unlocking Longevity: The Microbiome Connection
Sadly, we are all mortal. So the question becomes, “how long can we live.” An equally important question is, “how long can we live well?” What´s the point of living to 100, if the last ten or twenty years of your life are spent in misery. People spend absolute fortunes to try to look better. […]
Covid and the Microbiome
COVID-19, what a nightmare that didn’t have to happen. I don’t want to get into government corruption, stupidity and lies, but instead do my best to educate you. It’s up to you to apply my knowledge or not. Like influenza, tuberculosis, recurrent respiratory tract infections and community-acquired pneumonia, COVID-19 drives significant change for the worse […]
Parkinson’s Disease and the Microbiome
Parkinson’s disease, another in a long list of terrible conditions seen more in “developed” countries than in “third-world” countries. Nearly 90,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the United States each year. The incidence of Parkinson’s is far higher in North America and Western Europe than in Latin America and Africa. Why is that? There’s […]
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and your Microbiome
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is a bit of a diagnosis when other possible causes of your symptoms have been eliminated. We can also easily include all of those given a diagnosis of constipation or diarrhea. Therefore, the acronym IBS includes tens of millions of people. And whoever you are, you really don’t care about how you´re labeled, or at least you shouldn´t. You should care about how to resolve your symptoms and go on to lead a more enjoyable life.
