Radio Naturopath Episode 544: Coffee and Gut Health, Cognition and Stress, Vitamin C and Cancer, IBS and Mast Cells
This week, it was a potpourri! We talked about how coffee can postively affect the microbiome. As long as you can tolerate it, it appears that coffee is a superfood! Then we found a shocker: chronic physiological stress leads to cognitive decline. So, stress reduction helps it! And did you know that Vitamin C can help to prevent cancer? Eat some lettuce and tomato with your cold cuts! And mast cells may be related to irritable bowel syndrome. So, if you're getting seasonal allergies, your IBS may be worse! We help you sort that out.
Radio Naturopath Episode 419: Long COVID and Low Serotonin, Weight Loss Surgery
This week, I talked about a study that came out suggesting that people with long COVID may have viral remnants, or even actual virus, in their guts, and this is preventing them from making adequate serotonin. Inadequate serotonin leads to mood disorders, poor digestion, pain, migraines, and all sorts of other issues! i suggested some naturopathic fixes for this.
Then we started on weight loss topics. beginning with the nature and effects of weight loss surgery. I'd rather people didn't do it but sometimes it can be a good choice!
Radio Naturopath Episode 348: All About Irritable Bowel Syndrome
This week is for the folks with tender bellies. We reviewed irritable bowel syndrome, which is always worth a discussion. We talked about what it is, how food intolerances are involved, what supplements to take, and of course, the most important item, stress reduction. Stress reduction can really reduce symptoms!
