Episode 210: Herxheimer Reaction and Coping with a Cleanse
Have you attempted a gut cleanse or functional medicine treatment and felt terrible? So bad that you weren’t able to complete the protocol? In this episode we cover the topic of Herxheimer Reactions which are setbacks or symptom flares that occur during a treatment plan. In a gut cleanse, this is due to the endotoxins released by yeast and microbes when they break down during antifungal or antibiotic treatment. When the body becomes overburdened or overwhelmed by a sudden release of toxins the immune system goes on high alert, triggering systemic inflammation.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss how to cope with a gut cleanse as well as elimination diets and other functional approaches that can drive Herxheimer Reactions. They will cover the influence of the microbiome on disease and what can happen when pathogenic organisms are not regulated. Learn about the importance of anti-inflammatory and detox supporting compounds in supplements and diet as well as lifestyle support to aid in successful outcomes.

Episode 206: Diabetes Part 1: Where We Went Wrong
Have you or a family member been diagnosed with diabetes or told you are pre-diabetic? Want to know more about signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment and where things have gone off course? Curious about the influence of food subsidies and pharma funding for diabetes research? Tune in as Ali and Becki peel off the veil on Type 2 diabetes, exposing some serious room for improvement in the treatment of this preventable lifestyle disease.
It is estimated that 34.2 million people in the US or at least 10% of the population is diabetic and the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes in the US has more than doubled in the past 20 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has truly shone a light on the influence of insulin resistance on immune health with diabetes as one of the most common comorbidities leading to severe outcomes and death, exposing a pandemic within a pandemic. In this episode, Ali and Becki drill down on diabetes and insulin resistance, from risk factors to diagnostic criteria and focus primarily on where we have gone wrong with management of this reversible condition. Don’t worry, this episode is not all doom and gloom and part 2 will focus on functional approaches and solutions for truly getting diabetes into remission.
