As it stands today, chronic pain affects more Americans than DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, and CANCER combined.   In fact, chronic pain is THE NUMBER ONE reason Americans access the Healthcare system today. However, many people believe their only option for pain relief is found in drugstore options such as Ibuprofen, Advil, and Tylenol (to name a few). Tragically, most people are unaware that these pain meds do more HARM than good.    Common side effects include Headaches, Liver and Kidney issues, High Blood Pressure, and in rare cases – even death. Not to mention, they are just masking your pain... Giving you temporary relief...   While this may sound all doom and gloom, I do have good news... There is an all-natural solution that addresses the root cause of your discomfort... A REAL solution that allows you to get back to being YOU!   And that solution is called Curcumin Gold made by my friends at Purality Health.

He is also a welcome returning guest to the Functional Nutrition Podcast. Today with Dr. Jockers, Dr. Ruscio is talking about probiotics and how they can help with leaky gut and inflammation.   What are some of the common misconceptions when it comes to probiotics? Do they need to be refrigerated? Do they need to be 'alive'? Are all probiotics the same? How should we go about categorizing them and knowing which ones are better for our gut mitochondria?    Our understanding of probiotics has increased greatly in recent years and it's no longer just a case of swallowing whatever you have in the fridge and seeing if it works. Dr. Ruscio has a fantastic strategy for how to use probiotics effectively so as to get the best anti-inflammatory results.    As always, we are confident that you will get a great deal of benefit from this episode. Please take a moment to share it with someone who is perhaps struggling with inflammation and eager to learn more about how to use probiotics for better gut health! Thanks, and let's dive into the show!   "One of the most underappreciated aspects of probiotics (well, there are multiple mechanisms, but one of the most underappreciated) is that probiotics are actually fairly potent anti-microbials." - Dr. Michael Ruscio Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode:   How do probiotics work?  The Hygiene Hypothesis and growing up in sterile environments How important is it to keep probiotics alive at the right temperature? What are the different categories and species of probiotics? Using a combination of probiotics to avoid using antibiotics What's the best way to take probiotics? What does the research say about the benefits of prebiotics?  Do prebiotics make probiotics work better? The difference between probiotics working for IBD and not IBS The effect that different diets can have on constipation Can you take a probiotic with an antibiotic? Reducing our microbial load to give our immune system a 'leg up' Looking at zonulin and its efficacy  Are probiotics effective for H. pylori? What is Dr. Ruscio's 'Triple Probiotic' strategy?  Is there a correlation between higher cost and a higher dosage of probiotics? Should you rotate your probiotics?  Where do you start if you have IBS and are looking to use probiotics?

If you’ve tried collagen for aging skin and haven’t gotten the results you want... It's because most collagen is missing a critical ingredient. And without this “missing link,” collagen WILL NOT WORK. With this "missing link" you can turn loose, saggy skin –– into tight, glowing, younger-looking skin! So what is that missing link I am talking about? VITAMIN C. Of course, you may know Vitamin C as a powerful immune-boosting nutrient... But did you know Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for anti-aging? You see, Vitamin C it's the "glue" that holds collagen together in your body. And if you're low in Vitamin C, well all of that collagen you're taking is pointless. And here's the thing, not all Vitamin C supplements are created equal… If you’re taking Vitamin C in capsule or tablet form, you are missing out on key nutrients as they will simply pass through your body without being absorbed (you can thank your stomach acid for that). However, our friends over at Purality Health have a patented formula that utilizes something called ‘MICELLE LIPOSOMAL’ technology which delivers the nutrients into your bloodstream – proven to be 800% more efficient! So, if your skin is looking older than you... And the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sagging skin, and otherwise “old-looking” skin frustrates you… Give Purality Health's Micelle Liposomal Vitamin C a try! It's backed by a 180-day money-back guarantee. And today, we have a 30% OFF coupon for you! Just visit puralityhealth.com and use the coupon DRJ to access 30% OFF your purchase today!   This podcast is sponsored by our friends at Paleovalley. And they have a great new product that I've been taking every morning that is called NeuroEffect.    NeuroEffect is an organic blend of 8 different mushrooms that will fuel your brain for all-day concentration, clarity, and enhanced brain function.    I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms – I take them daily to support my immune system and my brain health. But did you know that virtually every mushroom product on the market isn't actually the mushroom? It's the mycelium that they grow on grain. This means they barely contain any of the medicinal compounds that mushrooms have to offer and instead contain up to 50% starch! The grain can cause gut irritation and can interfere with the absorption of the little mushrooms they do have in it.    Paleovalley's NeuroEffect only uses whole mushrooms that are cultivated naturally and organically. They are then tested not once, but twice for quality, guaranteeing you get 2,100 mg of our neuro-supportive REAL mushrooms that have more than 26% beta-glucans ( the medicinal elements of a mushroom) in every serving, without the grains.   Paleovalley has added an organic whole coffee fruit that has been shown in clinical trials to stimulate the production of a protein vital for focus, memory, and clarity. Which means no caffeine jitters, or feeling like you need an afternoon cup of coffee.    Check out Paleovalley's Neuro Effect   For anyone looking to ignite their fat-burning metabolism, boost their energy, and transform how they look and feel, they must start taking care of their liver.

How does menopause affect the gut microbiome? Dr. Michelle Sands (a renowned naturopath, doctor of natural medicine, and anti-aging expert) is in conversation with Dr. Jockers today, and they’re discussing ways to optimize hormone and gut health during menopause.    They’re talking about what menopause is, perimenopause too, and the range of symptoms women experience during this time in their life, from hot flashes and low libido to weight gain and headaches.    The link between gut health and menopause is an important one for women wanting to age well. Getting good sleep and dealing with stress better are all related to our gut. The question of hormone replacement also comes up in this in insightful episode of Functional Nutrition. Please join us!      “Hormones are so much the chemical messengers of our body. So they’re involved in pretty much every aspect of our life, from everything we eat, everything we think about, to how we sleep, the environment we interact with. That all interacts with our hormones.

Women can derive great benefits from fasting, but they do need to me more cautious than men as they seek to avoid hormonal dysfunction.    Dr. Jockers has spoken on several occasions about intermittent fasting, a form of fasting where someone is fasting 12 to 16 hours or more per day. During this fasting window, you may not be consuming anything except for water or perhaps herbal tea. During the rest of the day, you would be eating a normal, healthy diet.    Crescendo fasting takes things up a notch, with a 16-hour fast two days per week on non-consecutive days. Fasting is an ancient healing strategy that has been used since the beginning of known history. And in this episode of Functional Nutrition, Dr. Jockers is providing a tailor-made approach for all women out there looking to be mindful of fasting in unison with their menstrual cycle and other hormonal considerations. Please join us.       "If you've never fasted, a great place to start is the simple fast. I would say 12 hours, overnight, between your last meal and your first meal."  -Dr. Jockers Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio In This Episode:   Understanding intermittent fasting for women Introducing crescendo fasting Crescendo fasting for adrenal fatigue What are the signs that you are insulin resistant?
