Understanding H. Pylori Infections and Gastric Ulcers

Erin was inspired to create this episode after sharing her recent stool test with clinically high levels of H. Pylori. She dives into the hotly debated topic within the industry: is H. Pylori an integral part of our health or is it something that needs to be completely eradicated? Learn the nuances behind how to test for H. Pylori, when we should treat it, and when it may be best left alone.
