Dr. Todd Watts is a national board certified Chiropractic Physician in Idaho & a Functional Wellness Practitioner Dr. Watts’ passion for helping others restore their health so that they can live their true purpose stems from his journey in overcoming his health struggles. His journey began at the age of 28 when he had Epstein Barr Virus and by the time he was 40 he struggled with arthritic pain in his hands, wrists, low back and shoulders, along with chronic headaches and muscle tightness in neck, shoulders and back. He also struggled with food and seasonal allergies, chronic fatigue, night sweats, muscle fatigue and twitches, brain fog and memory issues. Attending a medical conference on Lyme disease, he identified with many of the symptoms of Lyme and its coinfections. He later tested positive with a blood test for a chronic Lyme infection. On his journey with treating Lyme disease, he seemed to go through cyclical patterns of feeling good and then crashing. He met another practitioner who told him he had parasites which was causing many of his symptoms as well as the cyclical pattern. Having gone through many Lyme protocols, he realized that addressing the parasites was vital in overcoming the Lyme disease and the rest of his symptoms. Dr. Watts’ professional and post-doctorate training includes True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Neuromodulation Technique, Acupuncture, Bio-resonance Therapy, Sacro-occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Medical IV Infusion Therapy,and Live Cell Microscopy. He has taken courses on Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Brain Chemistry, The Neuroendocrine Immunology of Environmental Triggers, and has trained with several Lyme disease and parasitology experts   We Discuss: Dr Todd Watts’ personal health journey with parasites, lyme disease, allergies & more Why parasites are not often spoken about in the medical world Symptoms/conditions that could actually be CAUSED by parasites How common parasites really are. Are we only at risk if we’ve done extensive travel to undeveloped countries? Dr Watts’ thoughts on testing for parasites Why some people are symptomatic and others aren’t Some of the most common parasites and their unique symptoms How parasites affect our immune system & the virus connection How environmental toxins play a role Where parasite treatment comes in the order of operations when healing The importance of bile flow & liver detox Dr Watt's favourite herbs/supplements for treating parasites   Mentioned: Mimosa Pudica Seed https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/microbe-formulas-mimosa-pudica Formula 1 https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/microbe-formulas-formula-1 Formula 2 https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/formula-2 TUDCA https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/tudca-plus BioActive Carbon BioTox Binder https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/bioactive-carbon-biotox BioActive Carbon MetChem https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/bioactive-carbon-metchem MitoRestore https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/mitorestore BioActive Carbon Minerals https://microbeformulas.com/collections/all-products/products/bioactive-carbon-minerals Additional Microbe Formulas products and resources https://microbeformulas.com   -------- MY LINKS:   Try my favourite ORGANO KING coffee   Grab my favourite BluBlox glasses   Buy Queen of the Thrones CASTOR OIL PACK with 10% discount using code HORMONES10     ------- Got a podcast question?
