Ep 181Could Herbicides be Causing SIBO and Gluten Sensitivity with Dr. Greg Nigh
bonusDr. Nigh explains how and why glyphosate could be one of the causes of SIBO. Glyphosate has a way of interrupting the bodies natural process of converting sulfur into sulfate. The body adapts by calling on bacteria to do the job which can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria otherwise known as SIBO. https://drruscio.com/?p=26949 We touch on gluten sensitivity and the Europe phenomenon – why some people find it easier to consume gluten in Europe than here in the states. We also discuss sulfur sensitivity as a cause of inflammation and digestive distress. Many healthy foods contain sulfur so while it may be counterintuitive to remove them from your diet, the bottom line is … if you are symptomatic, it's worth trying a low-sulfur diet for a week to see if you notice an improvement.

Ep 166Choosing the Right Thyroid Medication – An Evidenced-Based Algorithm and a SIBO Study
What is the best thyroid medication? You may have heard that you require a special medication that combines T4 and T3, but this isn't true for most. The majority of people appear to respond best to T4 alone, although some may need a higher dose to feel optimal. For those who do not respond fully to this, there are other considerations including T4 plus T3 medications or even liquid T3. This is important because if you jump to a T4 plus T3 medication too quickly you could risk side effects, including cardiovascular symptoms. Let's discuss this and a SIBO case study illustrating why less treatment is often more effective. https://drruscio.com/choosing-the-right-thyroid-medication/ Get access to the Future of Functional Medicine Review, Clinical Newsletter at: https://drruscio.com/review/ My new book is finally available: Healthy Gut, Healthy You.
