        You know deep down that your child's brain should be functioning normally, and that your once healthy child, now showing neurological disorders like autism, anxiety, aggression and other symptoms is not normal - something must have happened.
And having your doctor tell you it's just genetic, or "normal" is not the answer. You and your family deserve to know the truth behind what's happening in your child's brain.

219: How to Fix Constipation Naturally - with Liz Roman
            
            
        When you think of constipation, you might think it's having to push really hard, but it can also be passing too little stool, or going too infrequently.
But constipation is more than just no pooping enough - it's a gateway to sysemic toxicity, immune issues, hormonal imbalances, bowel diseases, and so much more.If you're not having at least 2 bowel movements a day that pass with minimal effort, you're constipated.

218: Your Doctor Lied About Your Gut Disease (Crohn's, Colitis, Diverticulitis, IBS)
Your doctor lied. They may not have meant to, but they did. Bowel diseases like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's, Colitis, Diverticulitis, etc., are not at all what you've been told.

        Your brain weighs just three pounds, yet it's capable of storing 2.5 petabytes of information (around 3 million hours of high-def TV). It fires signals as fast as a Formula 1 car speeding at 268 miles per hour, and has roughly 100 billion neurons (as many as the stars in the Milky Way).
Your brain generates about 20 watts of power - enough to light a dim bulb. But the most interesting part about this is that half of your powerful brain is devoted entirely to vision, processing images in as little as 13 milliseconds. That's 10x faster than the blink of an eye.<...

        Modern dermatology is failing patients because the toolbox hasn't changed in decades: antibiotics, steroid creams, and ointments. These approaches may calm the surface symptoms, but they do nothing to address what's really going on underneath the skin (the root drivers of your condition.)
That's why this episode matters. We dig into the real causes of eczema, psoriasis, and acne and more importantly, the science-backed solutions that actually correct the problem at its source.
These aren't just band-aids for symptom management. They're pathways to true, lasting healing.

        SIBO is becoming more well known as it's a major driver of gut problems like IBD, Crohn's and Colitis. But your doctor isn't likely to have the foggiest clue what to do about it (if they even bother to test for it).
SIBO is responsible for 70% or more of all IBD cases, and is a major player in 60% or more cases of Crohn's and colitis. Needless to say, if you're not talking about it, you're not going to heal your gut.

A lot of things have been labelled "autoimmune" that have turned out to not actually be autoimmune... so the question has to be asked: "Does auto-immunity actually exist?"
To date, we do have evidence that autoimmune disease is very real, but most of these instances look to either be collateral damage, "molecular mimicry" where your body produces something that looks like an invader, or something else.
And the root causes of "autoimmunity" are well understood to be leaky gut, a trigger of some sort and genetic predisposition. And in this episode, we're challenging the paradigm...

        Your neck is the highway from your brain to your body, and one small instability (even if you don't feel it) can create a whirlwind of issues in your body below it: from low energy to gut issues, hip or knee pain, a weakened immune system, poor sleep, bad moods and so much more.
But what no one talks about is how you're likely dealing with this silent neck problem and how one simple movement or adjustment can correct this whole cascade of events that's slowly strangling the health and viltality out of your body.
