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.
Understanding Microbiome Tests and Reports
The field of the microbiome, and its proven impact on our health is fascinating. We have a whole other foreign ecosystem inside of us, and the pieces of the puzzle are coming together. It’s such a new field, that there are only a handful of people at the tip of its spear. Some of those people offer at-home microbiome testing services. And as more and more of the public and medical institutions learn about the power of the microbiome, it becomes more popular. You yourself may have already used one of these kits, or perhaps you are thinking about it. Which one should you choose? Is it even beneficial? Can anyone truly translate the report for you?
Probiotics – Don’t waste your time or your money
Stop wasting your time and money on probiotics! There’s a more intelligent way to support your microbiome.
There are various products in the marketplace which contain “probiotics”. Drinks, foods like yogurt and of course dietary supplements. Many millions of people follow the uninformed heard, consuming these products in the hopes of addressing rampant gastrointestinal issues. But have they been helping you?
