our welcome this is our third part to our welcome this is our third part to our gut series so we're actually going to be gut series so we're actually going to be gut series so we're actually going to be diving into you know just understanding diving into you know just understanding diving into you know just understanding the overall function of the gut why the overall function of the gut why the overall function of the gut why there is so many issues when it comes to there is so many issues when it comes to there is so many issues when it comes to different types of gut diseases and different types of gut diseases and different types of gut diseases and pathologies and then the other big focus pathologies and then the other big focus pathologies and then the other big focus is really understanding a little bit is really understanding a little bit is really understanding a little bit more about the root cause to GERD reflux more about the root cause to GERD reflux more about the root cause to GERD reflux indigestion heartburn because indigestion heartburn because indigestion heartburn because unfortunately there are so so many unfortunately there are so so many unfortunately there are so so many people that are dealing with those types people that are dealing with those types people that are dealing with those types of symptoms on a day-to-day and you know of symptoms on a day-to-day and you know of symptoms on a day-to-day and you know some of us are managing it through some of us are managing it through some of us are managing it through utilizing different types of antacids utilizing different types of antacids utilizing different types of antacids Tom's Rolaids over the counter you know Tom's Rolaids over the counter you know Tom's Rolaids over the counter you know some of us are using more intense some of us are using more intense some of us are using more intense prescriptions like nexium prevacid and prescriptions like nexium prevacid and prescriptions like nexium prevacid and prilosec and then some of us it's so prilosec and then some of us it's so prilosec and then some of us it's so severe that we can't even lay down and I severe that we can't even lay down and I severe that we can't even lay down and I know that one of my more recent clients know that one of my more recent clients know that one of my more recent clients she told me that she purchased a two she told me that she purchased a two she told me that she purchased a two hundred dollar pillow to prop her up so hundred dollar pillow to prop her up so hundred dollar pillow to prop her up so she can be in a seated position while she can be in a seated position while she can be in a seated position while sleeping because her reflux is that sleeping because her reflux is that sleeping because her reflux is that severe so with that being said we really severe so with that being said we really severe so with that being said we really want to uncover you know some of the want to uncover you know some of the want to uncover you know some of the reasons this is happening in the first reasons this is happening in the first reasons this is happening in the first place some of the reasons why you may place some of the reasons why you may place some of the reasons why you may have not gotten better with approaches have not gotten better with approaches have not gotten better with approaches you've already tried and then obviously you've already tried and then obviously you've already tried and then obviously giving you some tools to be able to take giving you some tools to be able to take giving you some tools to be able to take those steps to really resolve it all those steps to really resolve it all those steps to really resolve it all together together together and I think that's an important thing to and I think that's an important thing to and I think that's an important thing to start with is it can be resolved but start with is it can be resolved but start with is it can be resolved but most importantly is the reason why we most importantly is the reason why we most importantly is the reason why we have reflux is different have reflux is different have reflux is different person-to-person so we have to really person-to-person so we have to really person-to-person so we have to really understand you know what testing is out understand you know what testing is out understand you know what testing is out there that can give us the answers and there that can give us the answers and there that can give us the answers and then why maybe some of the approaches then why maybe some of the approaches then why maybe some of the approaches you've tried haven't been working you've tried haven't been working you've tried haven't been working because they potentially haven't been because they potentially haven't been because they potentially haven't been addressing the root cause at all so addressing the root cause at all so addressing the root cause at all so we're going to be touching on all of we're going to be touching on all of we're going to be touching on all of these really really important topics but these really really important topics but these really really important topics but just to introduce Who I am I am dr. just to introduce Who I am I am dr. just to introduce Who I am I am dr. Nicole I am one of the co-owners of Nicole I am one of the co-owners of Nicole I am one of the co-owners of integrated wellness group I own it with integrated wellness group I own it with integrated wellness group I own it with my husband dr. Nick and our facility is my husband dr. Nick and our facility is my husband dr. Nick and our facility is really geared towards uncovering the really geared towards uncovering the really geared towards uncovering the root cause of your symptoms and using root cause of your symptoms and using root cause of your symptoms and using integrative approaches to really work on integrative approaches to really work on integrative approaches to really work on them resolve them once and for all a big them resolve them once and for all a big them resolve them once and for all a big part of how we do things is it's not part of how we do things is it's not part of how we do things is it's not about giving you a more natural band-aid about giving you a more natural band-aid about giving you a more natural band-aid fix it's really about giving you a fix it's really about giving you a fix it's really about giving you a solution and it is giving you a solution solution and it is giving you a solution solution and it is giving you a solution that is sustainable and I think that's a that is sustainable and I think that's a that is sustainable and I think that's a really really important thing that we do really really important thing that we do really really important thing that we do not necessarily understand as possible not necessarily understand as possible not necessarily understand as possible but we also settle for just a reduction but we also settle for just a reduction but we also settle for just a reduction in our symptoms and we don't necessarily in our symptoms and we don't necessarily in our symptoms and we don't necessarily realize that with the right approach we realize that with the right approach we realize that with the right approach we can resolve it and we can also sustain can resolve it and we can also sustain can resolve it and we can also sustain the progress so that's a really big part the progress so that's a really big part the progress so that's a really big part of why we do what we do essentially so of why we do what we do essentially so of why we do what we do essentially so with that being said those of you just with that being said those of you just with that being said those of you just jumping on we're gonna dive into talking jumping on we're gonna dive into talking jumping on we're gonna dive into talking all about the gut talking about all about the gut talking about all about the gut talking about limitations with some of the testing limitations with some of the testing limitations with some of the testing that exists we're also going to uncover that exists we're also going to uncover that exists we're also going to uncover some of the root causes to GERD some of the root causes to GERD some of the root causes to GERD indigestion heartburn and then most indigestion heartburn and then most indigestion heartburn and then most importantly we are going to decipher importantly we are going to decipher importantly we are going to decipher what can you do to get answers number what can you do to get answers number what can you do to get answers number one and then also what can we do to one and then also what can we do to one and then also what can we do to start feeling better so I am going to start feeling better so I am going to start feeling better so I am going to jump in to my lovely PowerPoint that I jump in to my lovely PowerPoint that I jump in to my lovely PowerPoint that I made just because I will go off on many made just because I will go off on many made just because I will go off on many tangents so we will be here all night tangents so we will be here all night tangents so we will be here all night so I so I'm definitely gonna make sure so I so I'm definitely gonna make sure so I so I'm definitely gonna make sure that we stay on track and I give you all that we stay on track and I give you all that we stay on track and I give you all of the information that you need so I've of the information that you need so I've of the information that you need so I've already reiterated this at at this point already reiterated this at at this point already reiterated this at at this point but we want to what first establish that but we want to what first establish that but we want to what first establish that without the right testing you don't know without the right testing you don't know without the right testing you don't know what you don't know what you don't know what you don't know I think that's a really really important I think that's a really really important I think that's a really really important thing to take away is you may have no thing to take away is you may have no thing to take away is you may have no idea why you have indigestion you may idea why you have indigestion you may idea why you have indigestion you may have no idea why you actually have GERD have no idea why you actually have GERD have no idea why you actually have GERD you kind of think that it's maybe you kind of think that it's maybe you kind of think that it's maybe because you eat spicy food or maybe you because you eat spicy food or maybe you because you eat spicy food or maybe you have an allergy to Tomatoes or you you have an allergy to Tomatoes or you you have an allergy to Tomatoes or you you know you can't process alcohol because know you can't process alcohol because know you can't process alcohol because you're getting older and these are a lot you're getting older and these are a lot you're getting older and these are a lot of things that we tell ourselves or you of things that we tell ourselves or you of things that we tell ourselves or you know we read about but it's not know we read about but it's not know we read about but it's not necessarily the case when you really dig necessarily the case when you really dig necessarily the case when you really dig deeper and in addition to that is really deeper and in addition to that is really deeper and in addition to that is really breaking the false beliefs about why we breaking the false beliefs about why we breaking the false beliefs about why we have these gut problems you know the have these gut problems you know the have these gut problems you know the biggest thing that I hear all the time biggest thing that I hear all the time biggest thing that I hear all the time is like well I don't they don't it is like well I don't they don't it is like well I don't they don't it doesn't bother me all the time so it's doesn't bother me all the time so it's doesn't bother me all the time so it's just if I eat too much if I eat the just if I eat too much if I eat the just if I eat too much if I eat the wrong thing or you know if I didn't wrong thing or you know if I didn't wrong thing or you know if I didn't sleep and we have all of these reasons sleep and we have all of these reasons sleep and we have all of these reasons why we have these symptoms and at the why we have these symptoms and at the why we have these symptoms and at the end of the day there could be a deeper end of the day there could be a deeper end of the day there could be a deeper underlying problem that's causing it and underlying problem that's causing it and underlying problem that's causing it and then again we want to talk about what then again we want to talk about what then again we want to talk about what can you actually do to get your life can you actually do to get your life can you actually do to get your life back and get clarity so just a little back and get clarity so just a little back and get clarity so just a little bit about integrated Wellness Group so bit about integrated Wellness Group so bit about integrated Wellness Group so like I mentioned we really work to like I mentioned we really work to like I mentioned we really work to uncover the root cause and because of uncover the root cause and because of uncover the root cause and because of that just in establishing who we are we that just in establishing who we are we that just in establishing who we are we really you know we went against the really you know we went against the really you know we went against the grain in the sense that we wanted we grain in the sense that we wanted we grain in the sense that we wanted we didn't necessarily want to settle for didn't necessarily want to settle for didn't necessarily want to settle for okay so we're gonna do some fancy okay so we're gonna do some fancy okay so we're gonna do some fancy testing and then we're going to just testing and then we're going to just testing and then we're going to just give you a supplement regimen and you give you a supplement regimen and you give you a supplement regimen and you know make you eliminate all the bad know make you eliminate all the bad know make you eliminate all the bad stuff out of your diet and call it a day stuff out of your diet and call it a day stuff out of your diet and call it a day we found that as we worked with clients we found that as we worked with clients we found that as we worked with clients we continued to learn we continued to we continued to learn we continued to we continued to learn we continued to see voids and we also continue to see see voids and we also continue to see see voids and we also continue to see common threads with people hitting common threads with people hitting common threads with people hitting plateaus and it kept up evolving and the plateaus and it kept up evolving and the plateaus and it kept up evolving and the biggest thing is is we really wanted to biggest thing is is we really wanted to biggest thing is is we really wanted to allow people to get better sustained allow people to get better sustained allow people to get better sustained getting better and that is the reason getting better and that is the reason getting better and that is the reason why we have been able to do that is why we have been able to do that is why we have been able to do that is because we look beyond just the singular because we look beyond just the singular because we look beyond just the singular systems we look at your body from an systems we look at your body from an systems we look at your body from an integrative standpoint we're not integrative standpoint we're not integrative standpoint we're not necessarily looking that your gut is necessarily looking that your gut is necessarily looking that your gut is separate from your brain and you separate from your brain and you separate from your brain and you rain is suffer from your kidneys we're rain is suffer from your kidneys we're rain is suffer from your kidneys we're looking at everything all together and looking at everything all together and looking at everything all together and how it coordinates with each other and how it coordinates with each other and how it coordinates with each other and this is really the foundation as to why this is really the foundation as to why this is really the foundation as to why I work with so many different types of I work with so many different types of I work with so many different types of clients because when you understand the clients because when you understand the clients because when you understand the route and you have the technology and route and you have the technology and route and you have the technology and you have the strategy to figure out the you have the strategy to figure out the you have the strategy to figure out the root cause of the person's symptoms then root cause of the person's symptoms then root cause of the person's symptoms then it's kind of limitless with what you can it's kind of limitless with what you can it's kind of limitless with what you can work with and the amount of conditions work with and the amount of conditions work with and the amount of conditions that you can help heal so for me what I that you can help heal so for me what I that you can help heal so for me what I have personally found is that I really have personally found is that I really have personally found is that I really love digging digging digging and playing love digging digging digging and playing love digging digging digging and playing detective with my clients and being able detective with my clients and being able detective with my clients and being able to unravel the mystery behind their to unravel the mystery behind their to unravel the mystery behind their symptoms so I tend to work with a lot of symptoms so I tend to work with a lot of symptoms so I tend to work with a lot of complex cases and I also tend to work complex cases and I also tend to work complex cases and I also tend to work with a lot of clients that have been with a lot of clients that have been with a lot of clients that have been everywhere and nobody has necessarily everywhere and nobody has necessarily everywhere and nobody has necessarily been able to give them answers or give been able to give them answers or give been able to give them answers or give them a proper regimen to get them where them a proper regimen to get them where them a proper regimen to get them where they want to be and in addition to that they want to be and in addition to that they want to be and in addition to that I do personally feel that we need a I do personally feel that we need a I do personally feel that we need a massive massive evolution in the way massive massive evolution in the way massive massive evolution in the way health care is being done and that can health care is being done and that can health care is being done and that can be done by the way that I work with be done by the way that I work with be done by the way that I work with clients at my clinical practice but clients at my clinical practice but clients at my clinical practice but second to that is we really need to second to that is we really need to second to that is we really need to start evolving the way practitioners start evolving the way practitioners start evolving the way practitioners think about health care so that's really think about health care so that's really think about health care so that's really one of my biggest passions is educating one of my biggest passions is educating one of my biggest passions is educating and speaking and teaching other and speaking and teaching other and speaking and teaching other physicians about this integrative physicians about this integrative physicians about this integrative approach through what we call the approach through what we call the approach through what we call the Institute for Integrative wellness so Institute for Integrative wellness so Institute for Integrative wellness so it's really important to have other it's really important to have other it's really important to have other physicians doing what we do and thinking physicians doing what we do and thinking physicians doing what we do and thinking outside the box because that's the only outside the box because that's the only outside the box because that's the only way that as a society we're going to be way that as a society we're going to be way that as a society we're going to be able to get better because unfortunately able to get better because unfortunately able to get better because unfortunately right now a lot of us are just getting right now a lot of us are just getting right now a lot of us are just getting sicker and sicker and we're noticing sicker and sicker and we're noticing sicker and sicker and we're noticing family members getting sicker and sicker family members getting sicker and sicker family members getting sicker and sicker and we're also noticing our children and we're also noticing our children and we're also noticing our children that are sick and we really need a huge that are sick and we really need a huge that are sick and we really need a huge huge shift and we need doctors to start huge shift and we need doctors to start huge shift and we need doctors to start thinking outside of the box so just thinking outside of the box so just thinking outside of the box so just briefly on how I got into this is not briefly on how I got into this

mercury toxicity fascinating is I had mercury toxicity I'm lucky I guess I graduated but more I'm lucky I guess I graduated but more I'm lucky I guess I graduated but more seriously is you know when we have seriously is you know when we have seriously is you know when we have people that are struggling especially people that are struggling especially people that are struggling especially from a cognitive standpoint it's so easy from a cognitive standpoint it's so easy from a cognitive standpoint it's so easy to think that it's some type of internal to think that it's some type of internal to think that it's some type of internal defect or you know we're just not as defect or you know we're just not as defect or you know we're just not as good as the other person but it really good as the

transforms your results and it also gives you results in a and it also gives you results in a and it also gives you results in a fraction of the time that you would fraction of the time that you would fraction of the time that you would expect so it's not your fault that you expect so it's not your fault that you expect so it's not your fault that you haven't been able to get better and just haven't been able to get better and just haven't been able to get better and just being here and being present and being being here and being present and being being here and being present and being able to understand some of these able to understand some of these able to understand some of these principles will make you understand why principles will make you understand why principles will make you understand why you may have not been able to get where you may have not been able to get where you may have not been able to get where you want to be thus far so this may be you want to be thus far so this may be you want to be thus far so this may be one of the most important slides of the one of the most important slides of the one of the most important slides of the PowerPoint and I say this because this PowerPoint and I say this because this PowerPoint and I say this because this is not just about the gut this is really is not just about the gut this is really is not just about the gut this is really just about understanding some of the just about understanding some of the just about understanding some of the reasons why we are not necessarily reasons why we are not necessarily reasons why we are not necessarily getting better as a society and we are getting better as a society and we are getting better as a society and we are finding that we're having more and more finding that we're having more and more finding that we're having more and more prevalence of all different types of prevalence of all different types of prevalence of all different types of disease especially gastrointestinal disease especially gastrointestinal disease especially gastrointestinal disease and first and foremost is my disease and first and foremost is my disease and first and foremost is my personal opinion is the biggest personal opinion is the biggest personal opinion is the biggest detriment to medicine right now if the detriment to medicine right now if the detriment to medicine right now if the fact that there are these specialties fact that there are these specialties fact that there are these specialties and subspecialties so what I mean by and subspecialties so what I mean by and subspecialties so what I mean by that is we're segregating every system that is we're segregating every system that is we're segregating every system of the body we're assuming that the gut of the body we're assuming that the gut of the body we're assuming that the gut is separating or is functioning is separating or is functioning is separating or is functioning separately from all other organ systems separately from all other organ systems separately from all other organ systems but what's always so fascinating is just but what's always so fascinating is just but what's always so fascinating is just the basic principle of if we feel the basic principle of if we feel the basic principle of if we feel stressed which stress is going to stressed which stress is going to stressed which stress is going to effects affect us effects affect us effects affect us you know neurologically it's going to you know neurologically it's going to you know neurologically it's going to affect our adrenal glands because our affect our adrenal glands because our affect our adrenal glands because our adrenal glands pump out a bunch of adrenal glands pump out a bunch of adrenal glands pump out a bunch of stress hormones if we get really stress hormones if we get really stress hormones if we get really stressed there's a lot of us that we stressed there's a lot of us that we stressed there's a lot of us that we always say oh I feel it in my stomach always say oh I feel it in my stomach always say oh I feel it in my stomach you automatically have a stomachache and you automatically have a stomachache and you automatically have a stomachache and when we're we're talking about the when we're we're talking about the when we're we're talking about the connection of sense or systems it's just connection of sense or systems it's just connection of sense or systems it's just as simple as you can easily have a shift as simple as you can easily have a shift as simple as you can easily have a shift in how your gastrointestinal system is in how your gastrointestinal system is in how your gastrointestinal system is functioning because of a stress response functioning because of a stress response functioning because of a stress response and in addition to that that kind of and in addition to that that kind of and in addition to that that kind of brings me to the second point here brings me to the second point here brings me to the second point here is the lack of understanding basic is the lack of understanding basic is the lack of understanding basic physiology so if somebody presents to physiology so if somebody presents to physiology so if somebody presents to you to me as a physician and says okay I you to me as a physician and says okay I you to me as a physician and says okay I have gastrointestinal issues I have GERD have gastrointestinal issues I have GERD have gastrointestinal issues I have GERD I have reflux and I also have a history I have reflux and I also have a history I have reflux and I also have a history of irritable bowel syndrome and then in of irritable bowel syndrome and then in of irritable bowel syndrome and then in addition they also tell me how they're addition they also tell me how they're addition they also tell me how they're struggling with depression they might be struggling with depression they might be struggling with depression they might be dealing with anxiety and normally in the dealing with anxiety and normally in the dealing with anxiety and normally in the conventional system they're going to be conventional system they're going to be conventional system they're going to be working with a gastroenterologist and working with a gastroenterologist and working with a gastroenterologist and then they also might be working with a then they also might be working with a then they also might be working with a psychiatrist or a psychologist due to psychiatrist or a psychologist due to psychiatrist or a psychologist due to their depression and anxiety but what's their depression and anxiety but what's their depression and anxiety but what's fascinating about that is ninety to fascinating about that is ninety to fascinating about that is ninety to ninety-five percent of your serotonin ninety-five percent of your serotonin ninety-five percent of your serotonin which is your feel-good hormone is made which is your feel-good hormone is made which is your feel-good hormone is made in your gut so we are assuming that in your gut so we are assuming that in your gut so we are assuming that depression and anxiety and other types depression and anxiety and other types depression and anxiety and other types of mental health conditions all right of mental health conditions all right of mental health conditions all right from our gastrointestinal health and in from our gastrointestinal health and in from our gastrointestinal health and in fact they are a hundred percent tied fact they are a hundred percent tied fact they are a hundred percent tied together and this is in the research but together and this is in the research but together and this is in the research but unfortunately because our system is unfortunately because our system is unfortunately because our system is segregated and we have a specialist for segregated and we have a specialist for segregated and we have a specialist for each of the body systems your each of the body systems your each of the body systems your gastroenterologist is not versed on gastroenterologist is not versed on gastroenterologist is not versed on understanding that depression can start understanding that depression can start understanding that depression can start in the gut so when we're always seeking in the gut so when we're always seeking in the gut so when we're always seeking out the expert we need to kind of think out the expert we need to kind of think out the expert we need to kind of think twice is we of course want to work with twice is we of course want to work with twice is we of course want to work with somebody who has clinical experience in somebody who has clinical experience in somebody who has clinical experience in our condition but we also want to be our condition but we also want to be our condition but we also want to be working with somebody who's going to working with somebody who's going to working with somebody who's going to consider us as a whole and is going to consider us as a whole and is going to consider us as a whole and is going to consider all of the pieces because when consider all of the pieces because when consider all of the pieces because when you have a variety of different cyst you have a variety of different cyst you have a variety of different cyst symptoms they're not separate chances symptoms they're not separate chances symptoms they're not separate chances are you have one foundational problem are you have one foundational problem are you have one foundational problem that is creating a cascade effect of a that is creating a cascade effect of a that is creating a cascade effect of a variety of different symptoms so it's a variety of different symptoms so it's a variety of different symptoms so it's a matter of targeting what is that matter of targeting what is that matter of targeting what is that foundational problem so you can actually foundational problem so you can actually foundational problem so you can actually resolve things once and for all so resolve things once and for all so resolve things once and for all so another thing that usually comes up when another thing that usually comes up when another thing that usually comes up when people come to see us they often say wow people come to see us they often say wow people come to see us they often say wow you have so many amazing technologies you have so many amazing technologies you have so many amazing technologies why doesn't everybody look at the body why doesn't everybody look at the body why doesn't everybody look at the body this way this way this way and one thing that's really important to and one thing that's really important to and one thing that's really important to understand is that most of our testing understand is that most of our testing understand is that most of our testing especially in the United States is based especially in the United States is based especially in the United States is based on chemistry and what I mean by that is on chemistry and what I mean by that is on chemistry and what I mean by that is when you're looking at blood work you're when you're looking at blood work you're when you're looking at blood work you're looking at biochemistry you're looking looking at biochemistry you're looking looking at biochemistry you're looking at biology chemistry so what often at biology chemistry so what often at biology chemistry so what often happens is if all of our testing is happens is if all of our testing is happens is if all of our testing is based on chemistry and we find kinks in based on chemistry and we find kinks in based on chemistry and we find kinks in the chemistry or in the pathway then we the chemistry or in the pathway then we the chemistry or in the pathway then we are going to then find a solution that are going to then find a solution that are going to then find a solution that is going to manipulate that chemistry is going to manipulate that chemistry is going to manipulate that chemistry based pathway and that really allows our based pathway and that really allows our based pathway and that really allows our system to rely on pharmacology because system to rely on pharmacology because system to rely on pharmacology because if you have an alteration in your if you have an alteration in your if you have an alteration in your chemistry that is shown in your blood chemistry that is shown in your blood chemistry that is shown in your blood work then we are going to manipulate work then we are going to manipulate work then we are going to manipulate that by chemistry altering drugs so at that by chemistry altering drugs so at that by chemistry altering drugs so at the end of the day medicine is for the end of the day medicine is for the end of the day medicine is for profit and we all know that medication profit and we all know that medication profit and we all know that medication is for profit so it's business at the is for profit so it's business at the is for profit so it's business at the end of the day it's business and when we end of the day it's business and when we end of the day it's business and when we find ourselves defaulting onto the one find ourselves defaulting onto the one find ourselves defaulting onto the one pill fix or always looking for what pill pill fix or always looking for what pill pill fix or always looking for what pill is going to resolve my symptoms that's is going to resolve my symptoms that's is going to resolve my symptoms that's exactly what it's going to do is it's exactly what it's going to do is it's exactly what it's going to do is it's going to band-aid your symptoms and it's going to band-aid your symptoms and it's going to band-aid your symptoms and it's never gonna actually get to the root never gonna actually get to the root never gonna actually get to the root cause and we're pretty much relying on a cause and we're pretty much relying on a cause and we're pretty much relying on a system that only looks at us from a system that only looks at us from a system that only looks at us from a chemistry standpoint what about our chemistry standpoint what about our chemistry standpoint what about our emotions what about energy and I know emotions what about energy and I know emotions what about energy and I know energy can be so far into some people energy can be so far into some people energy can be so far into some people like what does that even mean you know like what does that even mean you know like what does that even mean you know that's hocus pocus but what's funny is that's hocus pocus but what's funny is that's hocus pocus but what's funny is that acupuncture is such a that acupuncture is such a that acupuncture is such a well-respected well-respected well-respected sought-out practice and acupuncture is sought-out practice and acupuncture is sought-out practice and acupuncture is energy medicine so we are going to energy medicine so we are going to energy medicine so we are going to acupuncture thinking we're going for acupuncture thinking we're going for acupuncture thinking we're going for fertility and we're going for our back fertility and we're going for our back fertility and we're going for our back pain but at the end of the day what pain but at the end of the day what pain but at the end of the day what that's doing is removing energetic that's doing is removing energetic that's doing is removing energetic blockages so if your problem is blockages so if your problem is blockages so if your problem is energetic you're gonna do great with energetic you're gonna do great with energetic you're gonna do great with acupuncture if your problem is not acupuncture if your problem is not acupuncture if your problem is not energetic you're not gonna have any energetic you're not gonna have any energetic you're not gonna have any change with acupuncture so again it's change with acupuncture so again it's change with acupuncture so again it's important to understand that there are important to understand that there are important to understand that there are so many reasons for why we might not be so many reasons for why we might not be so many reasons for why we might not be feeling our best and to look at it feeling our best and to look at it feeling our best and to look at it superlinear and say oh it's just a superlinear and say oh it's just a superlinear and say oh it's just a chemistry based problem that's chemistry based problem that's chemistry based problem that's usually when we will hit plateaus so usually when we will hit plateaus so usually when we will hit plateaus so this gun brings me to the inability to this gun brings me to the inability to this gun brings me to the inability to find the root cause is if we're only find the root cause is if we're only find the root cause is if we're only looking at one avenue of testing which looking at one avenue of testing which looking at one avenue of testing which is only evaluating the chemistry of the is only evaluating the chemistry of the is only evaluating the chemistry of the body we're never going to find the root body we're never going to find the root body we're never going to find the root cause because the root cause might be cause because the root cause might be cause because the root cause might be due to an emotional trauma it might be due to an emotional trauma it might be due to an emotional trauma it might be due to PTSD it might be due to a due to PTSD it might be due to a due to PTSD it might be due to a meridian problem it might be due to meridian problem it might be due to meridian problem it might be due to toxicity it could be so many different toxicity it could be so many different toxicity it could be so many different things and we need to start thinking things and we need to start thinking things and we need to start thinking outside of the box to really figure out outside of the box to really figure out outside of the box to really figure out what is the root cause because once you what is the root cause because once you what is the root cause because once you figure that out the healing process is figure that out the healing process is figure that out the healing process is so much easier and last but not least is so much easier and last but not least is so much easier and last but not least is the concept of the one pill cure-all and the concept of the one pill cure-all and the concept of the one pill cure-all and you know when I say one pill cure-all is you know when I say one pill cure-all is you know when I say one pill cure-all is we're always looking for what's going to we're always looking for what's going to we're always looking for what's going to be the new medication that's going to be the new medication that's going to be the new medication that's going to cure cancer or we're going to cure some cure cancer or we're going to cure some cure cancer or we're going to cure some other type of pathology but at the end other type of pathology but at the end other type of pathology but at the end of the day there's more and more of the day there's more and more of the day there's more and more research coming out about how dietary research coming out about how dietary research coming out about how dietary changes can vastly shift your health changes can vastly shift your health changes can vastly shift your health meditation and other types of stress meditation and other types of stress meditation and other types of stress management can vastly improve your management can vastly improve your management can vastly improve your health so we're kind of drawing at health so we're kind of drawing at health so we're kind of drawing at straws thinking that we're just gonna straws thinking that we're just gonna straws thinking that we're just gonna one day how this one you know this one one day how this one you know this one one day how this one you know this one pill that's going to fix all of our pill that's going to fix all of our pill that's going to fix all of our issues at the end of the day you have to issues at the end of the day you have to issues at the end of the day you have to take charge of your health and you have take charge of your health and you have take charge of your health and you have to be a huge player in the healing to be a huge player in the healing to be a huge player in the healing process and last but not least is this process and last but not least is this process and last but not least is this concept of if there's something bad just concept of if there's something bad just concept of if there's something bad just kill it kill it kill it we've overused antibiotics in our we've overused antibiotics in our we've overused antibiotics in our society we've overused it in our society we've overused it in our society we've overused it in our livestock it's in most of the food that livestock it's in most of the food that livestock it's in most of the food that we are eating especially animal-based we are eating especially animal-based we are eating especially animal-based protein and dairy protein and dairy protein and dairy and we've also overused it as an and we've also overused it as an and we've also overused it as an approach to illness you know a lot of approach to illness you know a lot of approach to illness you know a lot of times when you're going in and oh I have times when you're going in and oh I have times when you're going in and oh I have a sore throat antibiotic oh I have a a sore throat antibiotic oh I have a a sore throat antibiotic oh I have a sinus infection antibiotic oh I have sinus infection antibiotic oh I have sinus infection antibiotic oh I have diarrhea antibiotic and we're just diarrhea antibiotic and we're just diarrhea antibiotic and we're just defaulting on antibiotics we're actually defaulting on antibiotics we're actually defaulting on antibiotics we're actually not figuring out is it viral is it not figuring out is it viral is it not figuring out is it viral is it stress is it a bad diet and because of stress is it a bad diet and because of stress is it a bad diet and because of this we are developing more and more this we are developing more and more this we are developing more and more antibiotic resistant infections which antibiotic resistant infections which antibiotic resistant infections which I'm bringing this up because this is so I'm bringing this up because this is so I'm bringing this up because this is so so important when it comes to so important when it comes to so important when it comes to gastrointestinal health especially gastrointestinal health especially gastrointestinal health especially reflux GERD and heartburn reflux GERD and heartburn reflux GERD and heartburn which I'm going to elaborate further on which I'm going to elaborate further on which I'm going to elaborate further on it's very very important to understand it's very very important to understand it's very very important to understand that a big part of our gastrointestinal that a big part of our gastrointestinal that a big part of our gastrointestinal issues stems from things being in our issues stems from things being in our issues stems from things being in our gut that should not be there at all that gut that should not be there at all that gut that should not be there at all that includes infections and it also includes includes infections and it also includes includes infections and it also includes toxicity from a lot of the things that toxicity from a lot of the things that toxicity from a lot of the things that we're consuming on a day-to-day basis so we're consuming on a day-to-day basis so we're consuming on a day-to-day basis so I put this image in here because I think I put this image in here because I think I put this image in here because I think that just understanding how elaborate that just understanding how elaborate that just understanding how elaborate the gastrointestinal system is is is a the gastrointestinal system is is is a the gastrointestinal system is is is a huge part of what we're going to talk huge part of what we're going to talk huge part of what we're going to talk about tonight about tonight about tonight and number one is the mouth is and number one is the mouth is and number one is the mouth is technically part of your technically part of your technically part of your gastrointestinal system so for those of gastrointestinal system so for those of gastrointestinal system so for those of you that are listening because you're you that are listening because you're you that are listening because you're really struggling with your GERD your really struggling with your GERD your really struggling with your GERD your indigestion your heartburn you actually indigestion your heartburn you actually indigestion your heartburn you actually need your doctor and even yourself to need your doctor and even yourself to need your doctor and even yourself to acknowledge do you have a lot of dental acknowledge do you have a lot of dental acknowledge do you have a lot of dental work have you had a ton of root canals work have you had a ton of root canals work have you had a ton of root canals have you had a bad dental infection did have you had a bad dental infection did have you had a bad dental infection did you have an abscess have you had really you have an abscess have you had really you have an abscess have you had really intense dental surgeries have you had intense dental surgeries have you had intense dental surgeries have you had receding gumline bleeding gums an receding gumline bleeding gums an receding gumline bleeding gums an infection from your wisdom teeth being infection from your wisdom teeth being infection from your wisdom teeth being removed these are extremely important removed these are extremely important removed these are extremely important because if you think about just the because if you think about just the because if you think about just the anatomy and you also think about the anatomy and you also think about the anatomy and you also think about the downward stream of gravity your mouth downward stream of gravity your mouth downward stream of gravity your mouth will continuously create issues in your will continuously create issues in your will continuously create issues in your stomach because the mouth is connected stomach because the mouth is connected stomach because the mouth is connected to the stomach which is where a to the stomach which is where a to the stomach which is where a digestion and GERD stem from so digestion and GERD stem from so digestion and GERD stem from so sometimes you have a stomach problem and sometimes you have a stomach problem and sometimes you have a stomach problem and sometimes you actually have a mouth sometimes you actually have a mouth sometimes you actually have a mouth problem problem problem so understanding that and having your so understanding that and having your so understanding that and having your physician be able to also understand physician be able to also understand physician be able to also understand that is a huge part of getting to the that is a huge part of getting to the that is a huge part of getting to the root cause number one and obviously root cause number one and obviously root cause number one and obviously being able to fix the root cause if the being able to fix the root cause if the being able to fix the root cause if the root causes your mouth and you keep root causes your mouth and you keep root causes your mouth and you keep addressing your stomach your stomach addressing your stomach your stomach addressing your stomach your stomach your stomach you're gonna keep falling your stomach you're gonna keep falling your stomach you're gonna keep falling flat with your results flat with your results flat with your results and in addition to that just kind of a and in addition to that just kind of a and in addition to that just kind of a side note is when you're talking about side note is when you're talking about side note is when you're talking about the stomach which is where a lot of the stomach which is where a lot of the stomach which is where a lot of these gastrointestinal or I'm sorry GERD these gastrointestinal or I'm sorry GERD these gastrointestinal or I'm sorry GERD and reflux symptoms stem from your and reflux symptoms stem from your and reflux symptoms stem from your stomach is actually shaped like this and stomach is actually shaped like this and stomach is actually shaped like this and your pancreas is embedded so your your pancreas is embedded so your your pancreas is embedded so your pancreas in your stomach work pancreas in your stomach work pancreas in your stomach work hand-in-hand with each other so hand-in-hand with each other so hand-in-hand with each other so unfortunately because your pancreas is unfortunately because your pancreas is unfortunately because your pancreas is what regulates your blood sugar when you what regulates your blood sugar when you what regulates your blood sugar when you have pancreatic issues you tend to crave have pancreatic issues you tend to crave have pancreatic issues you tend to crave more sugar you tend to crave more more sugar you tend to crave more more sugar you tend to crave more carbohydrates and then you have this carbohydrates and then you have this carbohydrates and then you have this perpetuating process because the more perpetuating process because the more perpetuating process because the more you crave those foods the more you you crave those foods the more you you crave those foods the more you consume them and the more likely those consume them and the more likely those consume them and the more likely those sugars are to create more inflammation sugars are to create more inflammation sugars are to create more inflammation that can create more GERD and more that can create more GERD and more that can create more GERD and more heartburn and more indigestion so it's heartburn and more indigestion so it's heartburn and more indigestion so it's important to know kind of how it all important to know kind of how it all important to know kind of how it all works together works together works together but for this topic tonight specifically but for this topic tonight specifically but for this topic tonight specifically issues in the mouth will play such a issues in the mouth will play such a issues in the mouth will play such a significant role in your stomach which significant role in your stomach which significant role in your stomach which can play a role in your gastrointestinal can play a role in your gastrointestinal can play a role in your gastrointestinal reflux disorders your indigestion and reflux disorders your indigestion and reflux disorders your indigestion and your heartburn okay so often on a your heartburn okay so often on a your heartburn okay so often on a day-to-day basis I find myself blowing day-to-day basis I find myself blowing day-to-day basis I find myself blowing people's minds and I usually can tell people's minds and I usually can tell people's minds and I usually can tell when their mouth drops and their eyes when their mouth drops and their eyes when their mouth drops and their eyes open wide so some of the things that open wide so some of the things that open wide so some of the things that come up often come up just in our come up often come up just in our come up often come up just in our consultation and it's really because we consultation and it's really because we consultation and it's really because we spend seventy five minutes during our spend seventy five minutes during our spend seventy five minutes during our consultation digging digging digging to consultation digging digging digging to consultation digging digging digging to really understand the timeline of when really understand the timeline of when really understand the timeline of when this all started and asking questions this all started and asking questions this all started and asking questions that most of the time your physician that most of the time your physician that most of the time your physician your physician is not asking and one of your physician is not asking and one of your physician is not asking and one of them is actually in reference to the them is actually in reference to the them is actually in reference to the moon cycles so those of you that are moon cycles so those of you that are moon cycles so those of you that are watching just you know we have a massive watching just you know we have a massive watching just you know we have a massive full moon that started yesterday into full moon that started yesterday into full moon that started yesterday into today so if your mood has been today so if your mood has been today so if your mood has been dramatically affected or you are finding dramatically affected or you are finding dramatically affected or you are finding that your gastrointestinal system has that your gastrointestinal system has that your gastrointestinal system has been more upset over the past two days I been more upset over the past two days I been more upset over the past two days I will tell you that you have not been will tell you that you have not been will tell you that you have not been diagnosed properly but you more than diagnosed properly but you more than diagnosed properly but you more than likely have parasites so I know that's likely have parasites so I know that's likely have parasites so I know that's crazy crazy crazy but parasites are organisms that we get but parasites are organisms that we get but parasites are organisms that we get supposed to a lot more often than people supposed to a lot more often than people supposed to a lot more often than people realize these are different types of realize these are different types of realize these are different types of organisms that can come from raw fish organisms that can come from raw fish organisms that can come from raw fish like sushi can also come from like sushi can also come from like sushi can also come from contaminated meat dairy it can come from contaminated meat dairy it can come from contaminated meat dairy it can come from swimming and contaminated river it could swimming and contaminated river it could swimming and contaminated river it could be from so many different things but I be from so many different things but I be from so many different things but I will tell you you do not have to go to will tell you you do not have to go to will tell you you do not have to go to Mexico to get parasites they are right Mexico to get parasites they are right Mexico to get parasites they are right here in the US they are right here in here in the US they are right here in here in the US they are right here in our backyard and the interesting thing our backyard and the interesting thing our backyard and the interesting thing about it is parasites have a tendency to about it is parasites have a tendency to about it is parasites have a tendency to hijack our behaviors I'm not saying that hijack our behaviors I'm not saying that hijack our behaviors I'm not saying that that happens all the time but if you've that happens all the time but if you've that happens all the time but if you've heard that phrase Oh everyone's acting heard that phrase Oh everyone's acting heard that phrase Oh everyone's acting crazy I wonder if it's a full moon there crazy I wonder if it's a full moon there crazy I wonder if it's a full moon there is validity behind that statement and it is validity behind that statement and it is validity behind that statement and it is because the parasites under a full is because the parasites under a full is because the parasites under a full moon are the most active and they will moon are the most active and they will moon are the most active and they will hijack our behaviors and also if the hijack our behaviors and also if the hijack our behaviors and also if the parasites reside in our gastrointestinal parasites reside in our gastrointestinal parasites reside in our gastrointestinal system it will make our gastrointestinal system it will make our gastrointestinal system it will make our gastrointestinal system more upset so this is not you system more upset so this is not you system more upset so this is not you know my opinion this is science and I'm know my opinion this is science and I'm know my opinion this is science and I'm actually going to talk a little bit more actually going to talk a little bit more actually going to talk a little bit more about parasites and some of the about parasites and some of the about parasites and some of the limitations with testing them because limitations with testing them because limitations with testing them because there are many many limitations on how there are many many limitations on how there are many many limitations on how you can properly diagnose them so in you can properly diagnose them so in you can properly diagnose them so in addition to that a lifetime of addition to that a lifetime of addition to that a lifetime of constipation and gut issues I wanted to constipation and gut issues I wanted to constipation and gut issues I wanted to make note of this because this applies make note of this because this applies make note of this because this applies to constipation but it also applies to to constipation but it also applies to to constipation but it also applies to our ability to break down food as a our ability to break down food as a our ability to break down food as a whole which definitely can the starts in whole which definitely can the starts in whole which definitely can the starts in the stomach so when people have embarked the stomach so when people have embarked the stomach so when people have embarked on so many different types of therapies on so many different types of therapies on so many different types of therapies to get their gastrointestinal system to get their gastrointestinal system to get their gastrointestinal system working better and they constantly hit working better and they constantly hit working better and they constantly hit plateaus or don't see any results at all plateaus or don't see any results at all plateaus or don't see any results at all sometimes it's actually a brain problem sometimes it's actually a brain problem sometimes it's actually a brain problem and the reason I say that is because and the reason I say that is because and the reason I say that is because your brain is connected to your your brain is connected to your your brain is connected to your gastrointestinal system via your vagus gastrointestinal system via your vagus gastrointestinal system via your vagus nerve so if you start to have issues nerve so if you start to have issues nerve so if you start to have issues with your vagus nerve then it can with your vagus nerve then it can with your vagus nerve then it can definitely create a lot of issues with definitely create a lot of issues with definitely create a lot of issues with your gut that are not being resolved your gut that are not being resolved your gut that are not being resolved through your conventional approaches so through your conventional approaches so through your conventional approaches so one of the ways to kind of know if you one of the ways to kind of know if you one of the ways to kind of know if you potentially have a vagus nerve issue is potentially have a vagus nerve issue is potentially have a vagus nerve issue is if you get very lightheaded if you get very lightheaded if you get very lightheaded dizzi maybe even potentially a vertigo dizzi maybe even potentially a vertigo dizzi maybe even potentially a vertigo in addition you either have a very very in addition you either have a very very in addition you either have a very very overactive gag reflex or you have no gag overactive gag reflex or you have no gag overactive gag reflex or you have no gag reflex at all so that kind of indicates reflex at all so that kind of indicates reflex at all so that kind of indicates that there's dysfunction in the vagus that there's dysfunction in the vagus that there's dysfunction in the vagus nerve so those are a couple of things to nerve so those are a couple of things to nerve so those are a couple of things to keep in mind when you're struggling with keep in mind when you're struggling with keep in mind when you're struggling with gut issues because it might not be gut issues because it might not be gut issues because it might not be you're good at all it might actually be you're good at all it might actually be you're good at all it might actually be cognitive and be a brain issue so cognitive and be a brain issue so cognitive and be a brain issue so another big thing too stems from enzyme another big thing too stems from enzyme another big thing too stems from enzyme deficiencies so a lot of times people deficiencies so a lot of times people deficiencies so a lot of times people are trying to you know block their acid are trying to you know block their acid are trying to you know block their acid and take these antacids everything from and take these antacids everything from and take these antacids everything from your tums to your role aids to your your tums to your role aids to your your tums to your role aids to your prilosec and your premises and your neck prilosec and your premises and your neck prilosec and your premises and your neck seems and sometimes what's happening is seems and sometimes what's happening is seems and sometimes what's happening is that you don't have proper excuse me that you don't have proper excuse me that you don't have proper excuse me amounts of enzymes and enzymes break amounts of enzymes and enzymes break amounts of enzymes and enzymes break down all the different components of down all the different components of down all the different components of your food they break down your sugars your food they break down your sugars your food they break down your sugars they break down your cards they break they break down your cards they break they break down your cards they break down your fats they break down your down your fats they break down your down your fats they break down your proteins and if you have these enzyme proteins and if you have these enzyme proteins and if you have these enzyme deficiencies you can easily have these deficiencies you can easily have these deficiencies you can easily have these really really persistent gut issues that really really persistent gut issues that really really persistent gut issues that are not going away so like as an example are not going away so like as an example are not going away so like as an example more recently I actually had a patient more recently I actually had a patient more recently I actually had a patient who had all of these different who had all of these different who had all of these different gastrointestinal issues and she's like gastrointestinal issues and she's like gastrointestinal issues and she's like there's no rhyme there's no reason no there's no rhyme there's no reason no there's no rhyme there's no reason no matter what I do from a dietary matter what I do from a dietary matter what I do from a dietary perspective nothing makes a difference perspective nothing makes a difference perspective nothing makes a difference and it was actually so severe that she and it was actually so severe that she and it was actually so severe that she was having massive massive bleeding and was having massive massive bleeding and was having massive massive bleeding and but every time she would go for a but every time she would go for a but every time she would go for a colonoscopy they're like we don't you colonoscopy they're like we don't you colonoscopy they're like we don't you don't technically have hemorrhoids so we don't technically have hemorrhoids so we don't technically have hemorrhoids so we really don't understand where the really don't understand where the really don't understand where the bleeding is coming from and one of our bleeding is coming from and one of our bleeding is coming from and one of our technology is called the bio resonance technology is called the bio resonance technology is called the bio resonance is such a fascinating technology that is such a fascinating technology that is such a fascinating technology that I'm going to show you guys later but I'm going to show you guys later but I'm going to show you guys later but what it actually uncovered was that she what it actually uncovered was that she what it actually uncovered was that she had a disaccharide enzyme issue so had a disaccharide enzyme issue so had a disaccharide enzyme issue so pretty much what that means is she had pretty much what that means is she had pretty much what that means is she had zero capabilities to break down lactase zero capabilities to break down lactase zero capabilities to break down lactase or I'm sorry lactose sucrose and or I'm sorry lactose sucrose and or I'm sorry lactose sucrose and galactose these are all different types galactose these are all different types galactose these are all different types of dairy related sugars and the best of dairy related sugars and the best of dairy related sugars and the best part was as she loves dairy and she part was as she loves dairy and she part was as she loves dairy and she never came up allergic to dairy so she never came up allergic to dairy so she never came up allergic to dairy so she kept eating it but it wasn't an allergy kept eating it but it wasn't an allergy kept eating it but it wasn't an allergy it was the fact that she had zero it was the fact that she had zero it was the fact that she had zero capability to break down the components capability to break down the components capability to break down the components of the dairy so this is something that of the dairy so this is something that of the dairy so this is something that was just so eye-opening and allowing us was just so eye-opening and allowing us was just so eye-opening and allowing us to to decipher you know the root of the to to decipher you know the root of the to to decipher you know the root of the problem and since she's been able to cut problem and since she's been able to cut problem and since she's been able to cut out obviously the dairy but then fix the out obviously the dairy but then fix the out obviously the dairy but then fix the root cause she's been able to recover root cause she's been able to recover root cause she's been able to recover from these gut issues that she had for from these gut issues that she had for from these gut issues that she had for 20 years so in addition to that 20 years so in addition to that 20 years so in addition to that sometimes when you I work with clients sometimes when you I work with clients sometimes when you I work with clients they come in with a specific complaint I they come in with a specific complaint I they come in with a specific complaint I had a patient that I was working with a had a patient that I was working with a had a patient that I was working with a lot of respiratory complaints and a lot lot of respiratory complaints and a lot lot of respiratory complaints and a lot of my testing kept uncovering that he of my testing kept uncovering that he of my testing kept uncovering that he had a lot of gastrointestinal issues and had a lot of gastrointestinal issues and had a lot of gastrointestinal issues and he had a lot of issues specifically in he had a lot of issues specifically in he had a lot of issues specifically in his stomach his stomach his stomach and he was like well I used to have GERD and he was like well I used to have GERD and he was like well I used to have GERD I don't have it anymore so I really I don't have it anymore so I really I don't have it anymore so I really don't think that that's part of the don't think that that's part of the don't think that that's part of the puzzle puzzle puzzle but the problem was is that all the but the problem was is that all the but the problem was is that all the inflammation that was in his inflammation that was in his inflammation that was in his gastrointestinal system was pushing up gastrointestinal system was pushing up gastrointestinal system was pushing up on his diaphragm and respiratory on his diaphragm and respiratory on his diaphragm and respiratory distress he was actually having spasms distress he was actually having spasms distress he was actually having spasms in his respiratory system and it was in his respiratory system and it was in his respiratory system and it was causing shortness of breath and it was causing shortness of breath and it was causing shortness of breath and it was even inducing sleep apnea so sometimes even inducing sleep apnea so sometimes even inducing sleep apnea so sometimes the it's when you're working with the it's when you're working with the it's when you're working with certain symptoms it can stem back to a certain symptoms it can stem back to a certain symptoms it can stem back to a problem that would you wouldn't problem that would you wouldn't problem that would you wouldn't necessarily tie together so another necessarily tie together so another necessarily tie together so another really really important fact here which really really important fact here which really really important fact here which I'm going to dive a little bit deeper I'm going to dive a little bit deeper I'm going to dive a little bit deeper into is GERD and GERD is gastro into is GERD and GERD is gastro into is GERD and GERD is gastro esophageal reflux disorder so we can esophageal reflux disorder so we can esophageal reflux disorder so we can call it reflux for short but one of the call it reflux for short but one of the call it reflux for short but one of the biggest things is that oh it's because biggest things is that oh it's because biggest things is that oh it's because you have too much acid and at the end of you have too much acid and at the end of you have too much acid and at the end of the day one of the biggest connections the day one of the biggest connections the day one of the biggest connections proven by research to GERD is actually proven by research to GERD is actually proven by research to GERD is actually an infection called H pylori so H pylori an infection called H pylori so H pylori an infection called H pylori so H pylori is a bacteria that can get into the is a bacteria that can get into the is a bacteria that can get into the gastrointestinal system and cause a lot gastrointestinal system and cause a lot gastrointestinal system and cause a lot of symptoms in relation to reflux of symptoms in relation to reflux of symptoms in relation to reflux heartburn as well as GERD so I'm here to heartburn as well as GERD so I'm here to heartburn as well as GERD so I'm here to tell you that you don't know what you tell you that you don't know what you tell you that you don't know what you don't know so don't know so don't know so if you have had GERD for many years and if you have had GERD for many years and if you have had GERD for many years and you've been to many doctors and many you've been to many doctors and many you've been to many doctors and many gastroenterologist and nobody has once gastroenterologist and nobody has once gastroenterologist and nobody has once said the word h pylori that is okay but said the word h pylori that is okay but said the word h pylori that is okay but it's because they're not always thinking it's because they're not always thinking it's because they're not always thinking that it is going to be infection based that it is going to be infection based that it is going to be infection based and that is because the person who is an and that is because the person who is an and that is because the person who is an expert in infections is actually an expert in infections is actually an expert in infections is actually an infectious disease doctor infectious disease doctor infectious disease doctor so when we are working with our so when we are working with our so when we are working with our gastroenterologist they're usually gastroenterologist they're usually gastroenterologist they're usually looking at some of the chemistry of our looking at some of the chemistry of our looking at some of the chemistry of our gut do you have enough stomach acid do gut do you have enough stomach acid do gut do you have enough stomach acid do you not but they're not always you not but they're not always you not but they're not always necessarily looking at the infectious necessarily looking at the infectious necessarily looking at the infectious agents that can be playing a role so agents that can be playing a role so agents that can be playing a role so when we use this example of how many of when we use this example of how many of when we use this example of how many of us actually have indigestion and us actually have indigestion and us actually have indigestion and heartburn the numbers are actually heartburn the numbers are actually heartburn the numbers are actually staggering and one of the biggest things staggering and one of the biggest things staggering and one of the biggest things that we are attributing these symptoms that we are attributing these symptoms that we are attributing these symptoms to is a high amount of stomach acid so to is a high amount of stomach acid so to is a high amount of stomach acid so we've now established that potentially we've now established that potentially we've now established that potentially there could be an infection that is there could be an infection that is there could be an infection that is playing a role here but more importantly playing a role here but more importantly playing a role here but more importantly what I will tell you is if there is an what I will tell you is if there is an what I will tell you is if there is an infection or not the most common cause infection or not the most common cause infection or not the most common cause for reflux indigestion and heartburn is for reflux indigestion and heartburn is for reflux indigestion and heartburn is a lack of stomach acid a lack of stomach acid a lack of stomach acid so you might be confused because if you so you might be confused because if you so you might be confused because if you obviously feel that burning sensation obviously feel that burning sensation obviously feel that burning sensation and you feel that acid coming up the and you feel that acid coming up the and you feel that acid coming up the esophagus which I know is very painful esophagus which I know is very painful esophagus which I know is very painful then you would take your antacid again then you would take your antacid again then you would take your antacid again it could be Rolaids tums heartburn or it could be Rolaids tums heartburn or it could be Rolaids tums heartburn or I'm sorry prevacid prilosec etc you take I'm sorry prevacid prilosec etc you take I'm sorry prevacid prilosec etc you take these things and you feel better so you these things and you feel better so you these things and you feel better so you then you assume oh of course I am then you assume oh of course I am then you assume oh of course I am dealing with too much acid so this is dealing with too much acid so this is dealing with too much acid so this is obviously my best remedy but what obviously my best remedy but what obviously my best remedy but what actually happens is if you have a lack actually happens is if you have a lack actually happens is if you have a lack of acid then when food goes into the of acid then when food goes into the of acid then when food goes into the system what's gonna happen is it's not system what's gonna happen is it's not system what's gonna happen is it's not gonna be broken down properly so it is gonna be broken down properly so it is gonna be broken down properly so it is going to sit there for extended amounts going to sit there for extended amounts going to sit there for extended amounts of time so if your food is sitting there of time so if your food is sitting there of time so if your food is sitting there for extended amounts of time not to be for extended amounts of time not to be for extended amounts of time not to be gross but it can start to break down and gross but it can start to break down and gross but it can start to break down and decompose and if it's going to decompose decompose and if it's going to decompose decompose and if it's going to decompose it's going to give off what we call it's going to give off what we call it's going to give off what we call rancid ass rancid ass rancid ass and these rancid acids are what induce and these rancid acids are what induce and these rancid acids are what induce the heartburn indigestion symptoms so the heartburn indigestion symptoms so the heartburn indigestion symptoms so it's not that your stomach is producing it's not that your stomach is producing it's not that your stomach is producing too much acid it is that you have a too much acid it is that you have a too much acid it is that you have a production of rancid acids due to the production of rancid acids due to the production of rancid acids due to the inability for you to break down your inability for you to break down your inability for you to break down your food which circles back to the low acid food which circles back to the low acid food which circles back to the low acid so when you take your antacids it's so when you take your antacids it's so when you take your antacids it's going to actually reduce the amount of going to actually reduce the amount of going to actually reduce the amount of those ramps and acids and make you feel those ramps and acids and make you feel those ramps and acids and make you feel better but the longer you use the better but the longer you use the better but the longer you use the antacids the more you might find that antacids the more you might find that antacids the more you might find that you're grabbing for them more frequently you're grabbing for them more frequently you're grabbing for them more frequently you also might find that you're taking a you also might find that you're taking a you also might find that you're taking a higher dose or you're taking more pills higher dose or you're taking more pills higher dose or you're taking more pills and it's because you're not resolving and it's because you're not resolving and it's because you're not resolving the problem you're potentially making it the problem you're potentially making it the problem you're potentially making it worse but again you don't know what you worse but again you don't know what you worse but again you don't know what you don't know so it's a matter of if that's don't know so it's a matter of if that's don't know so it's a matter of if that's been the cycle that you're in it's time been the cycle that you're in it's time been the cycle that you're in it's time to look further to see do I have low to look further to see do I have low to look further to see do I have low stomach us to do I have an infection do stomach us to do I have an infection do stomach us to do I have an infection do I have something more going on that I have something more going on that I have something more going on that hasn't been found yet so mind blowing hasn't been found yet so mind blowing hasn't been found yet so mind blowing two-thirds of the world's population has two-thirds of the world's population has two-thirds of the world's population has h pylori so what I'm sitting here h pylori so what I'm sitting here h pylori so what I'm sitting here talking to you about h pylori this is talking to you about h pylori this is talking to you about h pylori this is not a few people this is not oh maybe not a few people this is not oh maybe not a few people this is not oh maybe this is part of the puzzle there is a this is part of the puzzle there is a this is part of the puzzle there is a high high high probability that this is high high high probability that this is high high high probability that this is part of the puzzle if you are struggling part of the puzzle if you are struggling part of the puzzle if you are struggling with reflux indigestion heartburn so with reflux indigestion heartburn so with reflux indigestion heartburn so it's very important for you to kind of it's very important for you to kind of it's very important for you to kind of understand everything we just talked understand everything we just talked understand everything we just talked about in the prior slide because if you about in the prior slide because if you about in the prior slide because if you are taking these h2 blockers antacids are taking these h2 blockers antacids are taking these h2 blockers antacids these acid blockers that these are never these acid blockers that these are never these acid blockers that these are never going to get rid of the infection if going to get rid of the infection if going to get rid of the infection if anything the infection can grow because anything the infection can grow because anything the infection can grow because acid you have acid in your stomach by acid you have acid in your stomach by acid you have acid in your stomach by the way not just to break down your food the way not just to break down your food the way not just to break down your food but you also have acid in your stomach but you also have acid in your stomach but you also have acid in your stomach to help you to ward off infections so to help you to ward off infections so to help you to ward off infections so the lower the stomach acid is the more the lower the stomach acid is the more the lower the stomach acid is the more inclined you are to acquire more and inclined you are to acquire more and inclined you are to acquire more and more infections so it's very very more infections so it's very very more infections so it's very very important for you to understand that important for you to understand that important for you to understand that that is a huge part of the puzzle and that is a huge part of the puzzle and that is a huge part of the puzzle and another thing too is there's many people another thing too is there's many people another thing too is there's many people that get different that get different that get different types of surgeries like the gastric types of surgeries like the gastric types of surgeries like the gastric sleeve gastric bypass and people that sleeve gastric bypass and people that sleeve gastric bypass and people that have a tendency to have a lot more have a tendency to have a lot more have a tendency to have a lot more complications with those types of complications with those types of complications with those types of surgeries are usually due to having an surgeries are usually due to having an surgeries are usually due to having an infection in their stomach on h pylori infection in their stomach on h pylori infection in their stomach on h pylori being the most common being the most common being the most common so the point of what I'm saying here is so the point of what I'm saying here is so the point of what I'm saying here is we need to stop accepting you know this we need to stop accepting you know this we need to stop accepting you know this normal we need to stop accepting that oh normal we need to stop accepting that oh normal we need to stop accepting that oh if I eat out I need to make sure to if I eat out I need to make sure to if I eat out I need to make sure to bring my tums I need to make sure to bring my tums I need to make sure to bring my tums I need to make sure to bring my my antacids because I know that bring my my antacids because I know that bring my my antacids because I know that I'm gonna feel sick or I know I'm gonna I'm gonna feel sick or I know I'm gonna I'm gonna feel sick or I know I'm gonna eat the tomato sauce but I know that I'm eat the tomato sauce but I know that I'm eat the tomato sauce but I know that I'm gonna need to take my antacids to make gonna need to take my antacids to make gonna need to take my antacids to make me feel better because it's a hundred me feel better because it's a hundred me feel better because it's a hundred percent gonna cause heartburn it's percent gonna cause heartburn it's percent gonna cause heartburn it's really just a matter of stop adapting to really just a matter of stop adapting to really just a matter of stop adapting to these different changes and thinking these different changes and thinking these different changes and thinking that it's just a normal part of the that it's just a normal part of the that it's just a normal part of the aging process and it's really trying to aging process and it's really trying to aging process and it's really trying to dig deeper and understand that you can dig deeper and understand that you can dig deeper and understand that you can actually resolve this and obviously not actually resolve this and obviously not actually resolve this and obviously not put yourself at risk for something more put yourself at risk for something more put yourself at risk for something more serious developing because there is a serious developing because there is a serious developing because there is a huge correlation to these chronic huge correlation to these chronic huge correlation to these chronic long-standing h pylori infections and long-standing h pylori infections and long-standing h pylori infections and gastric cancers so if you're able to gastric cancers so if you're able to gastric cancers so if you're able to decipher do I have this infection and/or decipher do I have this infection and/or decipher do I have this infection and/or you're able to resolve it not only are you're able to resolve it not only are you're able to resolve it not only are you gonna get rid of these symptoms that you gonna get rid of these symptoms that you gonna get rid of these symptoms that you're dealing with but you also you're dealing with but you also you're dealing with but you also decrease the risk of something more decrease the risk of something more decrease the risk of something more serious down the line so some of the serious down the line so some of the serious down the line so some of the biggest myths about gut issues number biggest myths about gut issues number biggest myths about gut issues number one is that gut issues are or gut one is that gut issues are or gut one is that gut issues are or gut conditions are genetic number two is conditions are genetic number two is conditions are genetic number two is that the testing that you've already had that the testing that you've already had that the testing that you've already had is always going to be accurate and is always going to be accurate and is always going to be accurate and number three is that your gut issues number three is that your gut issues number three is that your gut issues your autoimmune gut issues your your autoimmune gut issues your your autoimmune gut issues your inflammatory gut issues that they're inflammatory gut issues that they're inflammatory gut issues that they're irreversible and we're gonna bust irreversible and we're gonna bust irreversible and we're gonna bust through these different myths because through these different myths because through these different myths because it's very very important to understand it's very very important to understand it's very very important to understand why you potentially haven't got any why you potentially haven't got any why you potentially haven't got any answers in the first place and also why answers in the first place and also why answers in the first place and also why you may be hit plateaus with what you've you may be hit plateaus with what you've you may be hit plateaus with what you've been trying to do already so when it been trying to do already so when it been trying to do already so when it comes to genetics they're not comes to genetics they're not comes to genetics they're not necessarily doing genetic testing for necessarily doing genetic testing for necessarily doing genetic testing for all gut conditions but some of the big all gut conditions but some of the big all gut conditions but some of the big ones is SLAC disease and ones is SLAC disease and ones is SLAC disease and we are looking at genetics in order to we are looking at genetics in order to we are looking at genetics in order to decipher are you at risk and one very decipher are you at risk and one very decipher are you at risk and one very important thing for you to understand is important thing for you to understand is important thing for you to understand is this concept of epigenetics epigenetics this concept of epigenetics epigenetics this concept of epigenetics epigenetics means that no matter what your genetics means that no matter what your genetics means that no matter what your genetics say that epigenetics say that your genes say that epigenetics say that your genes say that epigenetics say that your genes will express differently based off of will express differently based off of will express differently based off of your lifestyle choices so you may have a your lifestyle choices so you may have a your lifestyle choices so you may have a specific gene mutation but that gene can specific gene mutation but that gene can specific gene mutation but that gene can express differently based off of your express differently based off of your express differently based off of your health your stress level your sleep and health your stress level your sleep and health your stress level your sleep and all of the other things in your life so all of the other things in your life so all of the other things in your life so you're not doomed to your genetic you're not doomed to your genetic you're not doomed to your genetic predispositions and when it comes to predispositions and when it comes to predispositions and when it comes to celiac we focus on utilizing this HLA celiac we focus on utilizing this HLA celiac we focus on utilizing this HLA marker and first of all it's a very marker and first of all it's a very marker and first of all it's a very small percentage of people that actually small percentage of people that actually small percentage of people that actually have the HLA marker that will ever have the HLA marker that will ever have the HLA marker that will ever develop celiac but again this can be develop celiac but again this can be develop celiac but again this can be completely avoided based off of having a completely avoided based off of having a completely avoided based off of having a healthy diet and having a low stress healthy diet and having a low stress healthy diet and having a low stress level and you know really being able to level and you know really being able to level and you know really being able to avoid inflammatory foods and things like avoid inflammatory foods and things like avoid inflammatory foods and things like that but an important point that I want that but an important point that I want that but an important point that I want to make is the HLA DQ two is the to make is the HLA DQ two is the to make is the HLA DQ two is the specific marker that we're using to specific marker that we're using to specific marker that we're using to dictate are you at risk for celiac dictate are you at risk for celiac dictate are you at risk for celiac disease but the HLA gene group is disease but the HLA gene group is disease but the HLA gene group is actually called the human leukocyte actually called the human leukocyte actually called the human leukocyte antigen so just to keep this as simple antigen so just to keep this as simple antigen so just to keep this as simple as possible as possible as possible the last line here the HLA complex helps the last line here the HLA complex helps the last line here the HLA complex helps the immune system to distinguish between the immune system to distinguish between the immune system to distinguish between the body's own proteins and proteins the body's own proteins and proteins the body's own proteins and proteins made from foreign invaders viruses and made from foreign invaders viruses and made from foreign invaders viruses and bacteria so the point I'm trying to make bacteria so the point I'm trying to make bacteria so the point I'm trying to make here is that when we think of here is that when we think of here is that when we think of autoimmunity we think that one day the autoimmunity we think that one day the autoimmunity we think that one day the body just turns on itself and that the body just turns on itself and that the body just turns on itself and that the immune system just starts targeting a immune system just starts targeting a immune system just starts targeting a tissue for no good reason but when we're tissue for no good reason but when we're tissue for no good reason but when we're talking about celiac what celiac is is talking about celiac what celiac is is talking about celiac what celiac is is when the immune system is attacking the when the immune system is attacking the when the immune system is attacking the villi of our gastrointestinal lining villi of our gastrointestinal lining villi of our gastrointestinal lining and the villi is pretty much what moves and the villi is pretty much what moves and the villi is pretty much what moves your food along and helps you to break your food along and helps you to break your food along and helps you to break it down and digest it so if you start to it down and digest it so if you start to it down and digest it so if you start to have massive damage to the villi it's have massive damage to the villi it's have massive damage to the villi it's thought to be oh you just have celiac thought to be oh you just have celiac thought to be oh you just have celiac and we don't really know why it and we don't really know why it and we don't really know why it developed but it's probably based off of developed but it's probably based off of developed but it's probably based off of your genetics but wouldn't it make sense your genetics but wouldn't it make sense your genetics but wouldn't it make sense especially because this marker the HLA especially because this marker the HLA especially because this marker the HLA gene group is specifically for targeting gene group is specifically for targeting gene group is specifically for targeting foreign invaders so what does it make foreign invaders so what does it make foreign invaders so what does it make sense that if you had foreign invaders sense that if you had foreign invaders sense that if you had foreign invaders in your gut like bacteria like this h in your gut like bacteria like this h in your gut like bacteria like this h pylori or you had parasites or you had pylori or you had parasites or you had pylori or you had parasites or you had fungus in your gut like Candida that if fungus in your gut like Candida that if fungus in your gut like Candida that if your immune system was going to the area your immune system was going to the area your immune system was going to the area to fight those infections that it could to fight those infections that it could to fight those infections that it could potentially cause damage to the potentially cause damage to the potentially cause damage to the surrounding environment because just so surrounding environment because just so surrounding environment because just so you know is a an immune system attack or you know is a an immune system attack or you know is a an immune system attack or an immune system reaction is an an immune system reaction is an an immune system reaction is an inflammatory reaction so when we have inflammatory reaction so when we have inflammatory reaction so when we have inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and all disease and ulcerative colitis and all disease and ulcerative colitis and all different types of inflammatory bowel different types of inflammatory bowel different types of inflammatory bowel disease that is because of an immune disease that is because of an immune disease that is because of an immune reaction and it's more than likely reaction and it's more than likely reaction and it's more than likely because your immune system is fighting because your immune system is fighting because your immune system is fighting things in your gut that should have things in your gut that should have things in your gut that should have never been there in the first place and never been there in the first place and never been there in the first place and if you think like well how the heck if you think like well how the heck if you think like well how the heck would I get bacteria in my gut and how would I get bacteria in my gut and how would I get bacteria in my gut and how the heck would I get you know Candida the heck would I get you know Candida the heck would I get you know Candida and how would I get parasites every and how would I get parasites every and how would I get parasites every single time you eat something I don't single time you eat something I don't single time you eat something I don't care if it's healthy or not I don't care care if it's healthy or not I don't care care if it's healthy or not I don't care if it's broccoli if it's broccoli if it's broccoli if aids bees every single thing that we if aids bees every single thing that we if aids bees every single thing that we eat has some level of organisms on it eat has some level of organisms on it eat has some level of organisms on it some level of bacteria some level of some level of bacteria some level of some level of bacteria some level of fungus and that's just because it's fungus and that's just because it's fungus and that's just because it's grown outside it's grown in the dirt grown outside it's grown in the dirt grown outside it's grown in the dirt there's bugs that crawl on it so not too there's bugs that crawl on it so not too there's bugs that crawl on it so not too totally creeped out every single one of totally creeped out every single one of totally creeped out every single one of you that are germaphobe but that's the you that are germaphobe but that's the you that are germaphobe but that's the reality of it so we're constantly reality of it so we're constantly reality of it so we're constantly getting exposed to different organisms getting exposed to different organisms getting exposed to different organisms but what happens is that sometimes if but what happens is that sometimes if but what happens is that sometimes if we're super stressed out or we're not we're super stressed out or we're not we're super stressed out or we're not sleeping or we got a lot going on in our sleeping or we got a lot going on in our sleeping or we got a lot going on in our lives and we're burning the candle at lives and we're burning the candle at lives and we're burning the candle at both ends maybe your immune system is both ends maybe your immune system is both ends maybe your immune system is down and you get exposed to a bacteria down and you get exposed to a bacteria down and you get exposed to a bacteria that normally you would fight off but that normally you would fight off but that normally you would fight off but because the immune system is down now because the immune system is down now because the immune system is down now you can acquire you can acquire you can acquire infection and it can get into the gut infection and it can get into the gut infection and it can get into the gut and stay so there's a lot of variables and stay so there's a lot of variables and stay so there's a lot of variables that play a role in this it's not super that play a role in this it's not super that play a role in this it's not super cut and dry so one of the more cut and dry so one of the more cut and dry so one of the more interesting patient presentations that I interesting patient presentations that I interesting patient presentations that I had was I had a client that I was had was I had a client that I was had was I had a client that I was working with that he came in he was working with that he came in he was working with that he came in he was dealing with gut issues for he would he dealing with gut issues for he would he dealing with gut issues for he would he said he was dealing with better shoes said he was dealing with better shoes said he was dealing with better shoes for about five years when we dug a for about five years when we dug a for about five years when we dug a little bit deeper it really turned out little bit deeper it really turned out little bit deeper it really turned out he was dealing with gut issues most of he was dealing with gut issues most of he was dealing with gut issues most of his life they just got really bad in the his life they just got really bad in the his life they just got really bad in the past five years and particularly in the past five years and particularly in the past five years and particularly in the past six months before he came to me past six months before he came to me past six months before he came to me they were so bad that he really wasn't they were so bad that he really wasn't they were so bad that he really wasn't able to leave his house for good for able to leave his house for good for able to leave his house for good for hours because he was in and out of the hours because he was in and out of the hours because he was in and out of the bathroom so it was really starting to bathroom so it was really starting to bathroom so it was really starting to compromise his life it was it was compromise his life it was it was compromise his life it was it was affecting getting to work on time and we affecting getting to work on time and we affecting getting to work on time and we were doing all of our tests on him we do were doing all of our tests on him we do were doing all of our tests on him we do a variety of different tasks we actually a variety of different tasks we actually a variety of different tasks we actually collaborate everything from blood work collaborate everything from blood work collaborate everything from blood work to a couple of our in-house technologies to a couple of our in-house technologies to a couple of our in-house technologies we actually do look at meridian systems we actually do look at meridian systems we actually do look at meridian systems we look at a variety of different things we look at a variety of different things we look at a variety of different things but one of the specific technologies but one of the specific technologies but one of the specific technologies that i used was called our bio resonance that i used was called our bio resonance that i used was called our bio resonance scan which i'm going to show you in just scan which i'm going to show you in just scan which i'm going to show you in just a minute but the bio resonance is a very a minute but the bio resonance is a very a minute but the bio resonance is a very interesting technology because it has interesting technology because it has interesting technology because it has the ability to scan the body down to the the ability to scan the body down to the the ability to scan the body down to the DNA level and when it does this it picks DNA level and when it does this it picks DNA level and when it does this it picks up on DNA changes so when you have a up on DNA changes so when you have a up on DNA changes so when you have a tissue that is unhealthy your DNA will tissue that is unhealthy your DNA will tissue that is unhealthy your DNA will change not a lot just slightly so when change not a lot just slightly so when change not a lot just slightly so when it picks up on these DNA changes it it picks up on these DNA changes it it picks up on these DNA changes it tells me hey this is what's going on in tells me hey this is what's going on in tells me hey this is what's going on in the tissue and it also tells me is there the tissue and it also tells me is there the tissue and it also tells me is there an infection that's associated with it an infection that's associated with it an infection that's associated with it and is there an allergy that is and is there an allergy that is and is there an allergy that is associated with it so this technology is associated with it so this technology is associated with it so this technology is just mind-blowing because it's able to just mind-blowing because it's able to just mind-blowing because it's able to uncover the mystery behind people's uncover the mystery behind people's uncover the mystery behind people's symptoms in just a very very short symptoms in just a very very short symptoms in just a very very short amount of time so one of the interesting amount of time so one of the interesting amount of time so one of the interesting things that came up as I was digging things that came up as I was digging things that came up as I was digging through his scan and piecing it together through his scan and piecing it together through his scan and piecing it together with the rest of his testing was he had with the rest of his testing was he had with the rest of his testing was he had this drug coming up it was called a Zito this drug coming up it was called a Zito this drug coming up it was called a Zito thymidine and the drug was coming up as thymidine and the drug was coming up as thymidine and the drug was coming up as a major a major a major irritant to his body little on his irritant to his body little on his irritant to his body little on his gastrointestinal system dine is gastrointestinal system dine is gastrointestinal system dine is traditionally used as a tuberculosis traditionally used as a tuberculosis traditionally used as a tuberculosis drug it's a very very very high dose drug it's a very very very high dose drug it's a very very very high dose antibiotic so this is the reason why antibiotic so this is the reason why antibiotic so this is the reason why it's used in tuberculosis because it's it's used in tuberculosis because it's it's used in tuberculosis because it's it's an aggressive approach to deburr q it's an aggressive approach to deburr q it's an aggressive approach to deburr q Llosa's so it came up so many times that Llosa's so it came up so many times that Llosa's so it came up so many times that I was like you know I really need to ask I was like you know I really need to ask I was like you know I really need to ask this guy if he ever had tuberculosis and this guy if he ever had tuberculosis and this guy if he ever had tuberculosis and trust me I you know it did not come up trust me I you know it did not come up trust me I you know it did not come up in conversation and his initial in conversation and his initial in conversation and his initial consultation so he wasn't like oh I had consultation so he wasn't like oh I had consultation so he wasn't like oh I had TV TV or I have a lot of respiratory TV TV or I have a lot of respiratory TV TV or I have a lot of respiratory issues so when he came in I decided I issues so when he came in I decided I issues so when he came in I decided I was like okay let me just ask and see I was like okay let me just ask and see I was like okay let me just ask and see I was like so this might seem a little was like so this might seem a little was like so this might seem a little far-fetched but have you ever had any far-fetched but have you ever had any far-fetched but have you ever had any run-ins with tuberculosis anybody in run-ins with tuberculosis anybody in run-ins with tuberculosis anybody in your family have you ever had a really your family have you ever had a really your family have you ever had a really really bad respiratory infection that really bad respiratory infection that really bad respiratory infection that was never you know necessarily tested was never you know necessarily tested was never you know necessarily tested for and he's like no I actually have it for and he's like no I actually have it for and he's like no I actually have it and I was like okay I always thought the and I was like okay I always thought the and I was like okay I always thought the ass thing in their ass things in various ass thing in their ass things in various ass thing in their ass things in various ways so I asked I was like okay did you ways so I asked I was like okay did you ways so I asked I was like okay did you ever have a skin test that bubbled up ever have a skin test that bubbled up ever have a skin test that bubbled up that stayed stayed bubbled for a couple that stayed stayed bubbled for a couple that stayed stayed bubbled for a couple of days and he looked at really funny of days and he looked at really funny of days and he looked at really funny and he goes hold on and he it was and he goes hold on and he it was and he goes hold on and he it was actually texting his mom so by the way actually texting his mom so by the way actually texting his mom so by the way he's in his 50s so he texts his mom and he's in his 50s so he texts his mom and he's in his 50s so he texts his mom and she actually got back to him rather she actually got back to him rather she actually got back to him rather quick and she goes oh my gosh I can't quick and she goes oh my gosh I can't quick and she goes oh my gosh I can't believe you remember that believe you remember that believe you remember that but when you were about seven or eight but when you were about seven or eight but when you were about seven or eight years old we had you in camp and you years old we had you in camp and you years old we had you in camp and you actually tested positive for actually tested positive for actually tested positive for tuberculosis and we had to take you out tuberculosis and we had to take you out tuberculosis and we had to take you out of camp and get you treated so he's of camp and get you treated so he's of camp and get you treated so he's looking at me like how the heck in the looking at me like how the heck in the looking at me like how the heck in the world would you know this and I'm also world would you know this and I'm also world would you know this and I'm also just like oh I love my technology so just like oh I love my technology so just like oh I love my technology so it's very very fascinating because this it's very very fascinating because this it's very very fascinating because this was a man who was very well into his 50s was a man who was very well into his 50s was a man who was very well into his 50s that had a drug that was still creating that had a drug that was still creating that had a drug that was still creating residual effects that he received when residual effects that he received when residual effects that he received when he was not even a teenager so it's very he was not even a teenager so it's very he was not even a teenager so it's very important to understand that there is important to understand that there is important to understand that there is such a snowball effect that gets us to such a snowball effect that gets us to such a snowball effect that gets us to where we are and secondarily is there's where we are and secondarily is there's where we are and secondarily is there's so many limitations so many limitations so many limitations and what our traditional testing tells and what our traditional testing tells and what our traditional testing tells us that we'll never necessarily uncover us that we'll never necessarily uncover us that we'll never necessarily uncover that there was a reaction like this that that there was a reaction like this that that there was a reaction like this that was still happening in the body so was still happening in the body so was still happening in the body so talking about this technology I actually talking about this technology I actually talking about this technology I actually want to show you guys a video to just want to show you guys a video to just want to show you guys a video to just give you a visual of what this give you a visual of what this give you a visual of what this technology is so as I show you the video technology is so as I show you the video technology is so as I show you the video I am NOT going to be able to speak so I I am NOT going to be able to speak so I I am NOT going to be able to speak so I will just have you watch it and then I will just have you watch it and then I will just have you watch it and then I will just kind of explain a little bit will just kind of explain a little bit will just kind of explain a little bit more about what you're seeing so I'm more about what you're seeing so I'm more about what you're seeing so I'm gonna play that it's only going to be gonna play that it's only going to be gonna play that it's only going to be about 30 seconds or so alright I'm back so with the technology alright I'm back so with the technology alright I'm back so with the technology and give you guys a glimpse of that and give you guys a glimpse of that and give you guys a glimpse of that what's really interesting about it is what's really interesting about it is what's really interesting about it is obviously I was showing you the heart obviously I was showing you the heart obviously I was showing you the heart and the vasculature of the hand you can and the vasculature of the hand you can and the vasculature of the hand you can scan the gastrointestinal system as well scan the gastrointestinal system as well scan the gastrointestinal system as well you can scan everything from the stomach you can scan everything from the stomach you can scan everything from the stomach to the large intestine small intestine to the large intestine small intestine to the large intestine small intestine and you can get very deep into even the and you can get very deep into even the and you can get very deep into even the cells that make up the gut but what's cells that make up the gut but what's cells that make up the gut but what's really interesting about it is obviously really interesting about it is obviously really interesting about it is obviously the photos that you are seeing in the the photos that you are seeing in the the photos that you are seeing in the technology are not images of the actual technology are not images of the actual technology are not images of the actual patient they are images of those organs patient they are images of those organs patient they are images of those organs but the icons that will overlay during but the icons that will overlay during but the icons that will overlay during the scan are representative of where the the scan are representative of where the the scan are representative of where the dysfunction is so each color in each dysfunction is so each color in each dysfunction is so each color in each shape is representative of something shape is representative of something shape is representative of something different so as it goes through and it different so as it goes through and it different so as it goes through and it scans those different systems you know I scans those different systems you know I scans those different systems you know I wanted to show the heart primarily wanted to show the heart primarily wanted to show the heart primarily because there's such limitations with because there's such limitations with because there's such limitations with the amount of testing that is available the amount of testing that is available the amount of testing that is available for the cardiovascular system when we're for the cardiovascular system when we're for the cardiovascular system when we're talking cardiovascular we're really talking cardiovascular we're really talking cardiovascular we're really looking at you know echos we're looking looking at you know echos we're looking looking at you know echos we're looking at EKGs you know we're looking at stress at EKGs you know we're looking at stress at EKGs you know we're looking at stress tests we're looking at things that are tests we're looking at things that are tests we're looking at things that are going to be able to see if there's going to be able to see if there's going to be able to see if there's significant amounts of heart damage but significant amounts of heart damage but significant amounts of heart damage but we don't always have the capabilities to we don't always have the capabilities to we don't always have the capabilities to see if there are subtle changes that see if there are subtle changes that see if there are subtle changes that potentially can become a bigger problem potentially can become a bigger problem potentially can become a bigger problem later on and that's really the beauty of later on and that's really the beauty of later on and that's really the beauty of some of the technologies that we have an some of the technologies that we have an some of the technologies that we have an integrated wellness group is we're able integrated wellness group is we're able integrated wellness group is we're able to see things before they fully manifest to see things before they fully manifest to see things before they fully manifest as a huge huge problem and the same as a huge huge problem and the same as a huge huge problem and the same thing goes for gastrointestinal issues thing goes for gastrointestinal issues thing goes for gastrointestinal issues is we're able to detect if there are is we're able to detect if there are is we're able to detect if there are infections that are really hard to infections that are really hard to infections that are really hard to diagnose through conventional testing diagnose through conventional testing diagnose through conventional testing we're also able to decipher is there we're also able to decipher is there we're also able to decipher is there different types of allergies because different types of allergies because different types of allergies because when we do these blanketed food allergy when we do these blanketed food allergy when we do these blanketed food allergy tasks we're looking at okay what is the tasks we're looking at okay what is the tasks we're looking at okay what is the you know body having a reaction to well you know body having a reaction to well you know body having a reaction to well what if your stomach gets irritated and what if your stomach gets irritated and what if your stomach gets irritated and I say stomach I mean like left ribcage I say stomach I mean like left ribcage I say stomach I mean like left ribcage up here but what if your stomach has up here but what if your stomach has up here but what if your stomach has issues digesting some things like your issues digesting some things like your issues digesting some things like your large intestine has issues digesting large intestine has issues digesting large intestine has issues digesting other things you know you need to kind other things you know you need to kind other things you know you need to kind of know that information to understand of know that information to understand of know that information to understand the bigger picture because the bigger picture because the bigger picture because these systems they do work together but these systems they do work together but these systems they do work together but they could easily be negatively affected they could easily be negatively affected they could easily be negatively affected by different things it's not all going by different things it's not all going by different things it's not all going to be super black and white so it's to be super black and white so it's to be super black and white so it's really trying to kind of uncover what is really trying to kind of uncover what is really trying to kind of uncover what is going on in each system and how what going on in each system and how what going on in each system and how what type of support does each system type of support does each system type of support does each system actually need so as we kind of get back actually need so as we kind of get back actually need so as we kind of get back into looking at some of these other into looking at some of these other into looking at some of these other pieces of the puzzle is this really pieces of the puzzle is this really pieces of the puzzle is this really brings us to the limitations and testing brings us to the limitations and testing brings us to the limitations and testing is we usually will have some type of is we usually will have some type of is we usually will have some type of gastrointestinal discomfort and we'll gastrointestinal discomfort and we'll gastrointestinal discomfort and we'll seek out some type of testing and then seek out some type of testing and then seek out some type of testing and then that testing will rule in or out that testing will rule in or out that testing will rule in or out something and we kind of leave it at something and we kind of leave it at something and we kind of leave it at that that that we don't necessarily go for the second we don't necessarily go for the second we don't necessarily go for the second opinion we don't necessarily seek out a opinion we don't necessarily seek out a opinion we don't necessarily seek out a different type of test but I want to go different type of test but I want to go different type of test but I want to go through this because it's so important through this because it's so important through this because it's so important to understand like what what is testing to understand like what what is testing to understand like what what is testing what and when it comes to colonoscopy what and when it comes to colonoscopy what and when it comes to colonoscopy and endoscopy something that's really and endoscopy something that's really and endoscopy something that's really really significant that not many people really significant that not many people really significant that not many people know is when you do a colonoscopy or an know is when you do a colonoscopy or an know is when you do a colonoscopy or an endoscopy that is imaging so imaging endoscopy that is imaging so imaging endoscopy that is imaging so imaging does not have the ability to tell us if does not have the ability to tell us if does not have the ability to tell us if there is an infection because you have there is an infection because you have there is an infection because you have to culture the tissue and put it under a to culture the tissue and put it under a to culture the tissue and put it under a microscope to be able to determine that microscope to be able to determine that microscope to be able to determine that so these different types of imaging and so these different types of imaging and so these different types of imaging and scopes are going to tell us do we have scopes are going to tell us do we have scopes are going to tell us do we have polyps do we have inflammation do we polyps do we have inflammation do we polyps do we have inflammation do we have ulcers - we have curls do we have have ulcers - we have curls do we have have ulcers - we have curls do we have cancer it's not able to uncover do you cancer it's not able to uncover do you cancer it's not able to uncover do you have cancer do you have Crohn's do you have cancer do you have Crohn's do you have cancer do you have Crohn's do you have inflammation due to an infection have inflammation due to an infection have inflammation due to an infection due to an allergy so there's massive due to an allergy so there's massive due to an allergy so there's massive limitations with just relying on imaging limitations with just relying on imaging limitations with just relying on imaging for our diagnosis and there's for our diagnosis and there's for our diagnosis and there's limitations on all tests there's limitations on all tests there's limitations on all tests there's limitations on celiac testing there's limitations on celiac testing there's limitations on celiac testing there's limitations on stool testing there's limitations on stool testing there's limitations on stool testing there's limitations on blood testing parasite limitations on blood testing parasite limitations on blood testing parasite testing etc so one of the things that I testing etc so one of the things that I testing etc so one of the things that I want to show you here is one avenue of want to show you here is one avenue of want to show you here is one avenue of really deciphering do you have really deciphering do you have really deciphering do you have inflammatory bowel disease inflammatory bowel disease inflammatory bowel disease do you have Crohn's do you have do you have Crohn's do you have do you have Crohn's do you have ulcerative colitis all of the markers ulcerative colitis all of the markers ulcerative colitis all of the markers for those conditions look different and for those conditions look different and for those conditions look different and one of the best ways of testing in one of the best ways of testing in one of the best ways of testing in l'm a shim in the gut specifically is a l'm a shim in the gut specifically is a l'm a shim in the gut specifically is a stool analysis and you're not going to stool analysis and you're not going to stool analysis and you're not going to be able to focus and hone in on gut be able to focus and hone in on gut be able to focus and hone in on gut inflammation through blood work I know inflammation through blood work I know inflammation through blood work I know there are panels for Crohn's I know there are panels for Crohn's I know there are panels for Crohn's I know there are panels for inflammatory bowel there are panels for inflammatory bowel there are panels for inflammatory bowel through the blood I know I use them through the blood I know I use them through the blood I know I use them sometimes but I don't rely on them sometimes but I don't rely on them sometimes but I don't rely on them because there are certain tasks that are because there are certain tasks that are because there are certain tasks that are better than others and when you're truly better than others and when you're truly better than others and when you're truly trying to decipher inflammation in the trying to decipher inflammation in the trying to decipher inflammation in the bowel the stool analysis is going to be bowel the stool analysis is going to be bowel the stool analysis is going to be the best and this is doctors data the best and this is doctors data the best and this is doctors data doctors data is one of the stool doctors data is one of the stool doctors data is one of the stool analysis that I do personally think is analysis that I do personally think is analysis that I do personally think is one of the best so something that I want one of the best so something that I want one of the best so something that I want to show you in the next slide is is to show you in the next slide is is to show you in the next slide is is something that I think is really really something that I think is really really something that I think is really really really eye-opening and I I want to show really eye-opening and I I want to show really eye-opening and I I want to show you this because we had a specific you this because we had a specific you this because we had a specific scenario with our dog actually our dog scenario with our dog actually our dog scenario with our dog actually our dog ended up developing an autoimmune skin ended up developing an autoimmune skin ended up developing an autoimmune skin condition called pemphigoid pemphigoid condition called pemphigoid pemphigoid condition called pemphigoid pemphigoid by the way is so painful in humans and by the way is so painful in humans and by the way is so painful in humans and in any any living organism but it's so in any any living organism but it's so in any any living organism but it's so painful that a lot of people end up painful that a lot of people end up painful that a lot of people end up committing suicide because of the committing suicide because of the committing suicide because of the massive amount of pain so our dog massive amount of pain so our dog massive amount of pain so our dog developed this and fortunately we were developed this and fortunately we were developed this and fortunately we were able to treat him and he was able to able to treat him and he was able to able to treat him and he was able to recover in a very very short amount of recover in a very very short amount of recover in a very very short amount of time but when it first manifested it was time but when it first manifested it was time but when it first manifested it was very very extreme and it was very very very very extreme and it was very very very very extreme and it was very very difficult to watch you know your dog or difficult to watch you know your dog or difficult to watch you know your dog or you know an animal that you loved in so you know an animal that you loved in so you know an animal that you loved in so much pain but when we were going through much pain but when we were going through much pain but when we were going through this process of dealing with his this process of dealing with his this process of dealing with his condition and this was an autoimmune condition and this was an autoimmune condition and this was an autoimmune skin condition and obviously it was skin condition and obviously it was skin condition and obviously it was visible to the human eye because it was visible to the human eye because it was visible to the human eye because it was on his skin it really made me think on his skin it really made me think on his skin it really made me think about all of my clients and all of my about all of my clients and all of my about all of my clients and all of my patients that I work with I have patients that I work with I have patients that I work with I have autoimmune conditions internally autoimmune conditions internally autoimmune conditions internally everything from you know Hashimoto's everything from you know Hashimoto's everything from you know Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune thyroid condition which is an autoimmune thyroid condition which is an autoimmune thyroid condition you know Crohn's disease celiac disease you know Crohn's disease celiac disease you know Crohn's disease celiac disease etc etc etc and it made me realize what his skin and it made me realize what his skin and it made me realize what his skin looked like was what people's insides looked like was what people's insides looked like was what people's insides look like and this I feel like was very look like and this I feel like was very look like and this I feel like was very eye-opening because it's very easy for eye-opening because it's very easy for eye-opening because it's very easy for us to just take the anti-inflammatories us to just take the anti-inflammatories us to just take the anti-inflammatories or take the immunosuppressants to shut or take the immunosuppressants to shut or take the immunosuppressants to shut down the immune system in an autoimmune down the immune system in an autoimmune down the immune system in an autoimmune condition and it's very easy to go that condition and it's very easy to go that condition and it's very easy to go that route and just keep powering on with our route and just keep powering on with our route and just keep powering on with our lives because we're busy and we have too lives because we're busy and we have too lives because we're busy and we have too much going on and you know we have to much going on and you know we have to much going on and you know we have to take care of everybody else and we can't take care of everybody else and we can't take care of everybody else and we can't take care of ourselves and I'm showing take care of ourselves and I'm showing take care of ourselves and I'm showing you this for that reason to really open you this for that reason to really open you this for that reason to really open your eyes the way that my eyes were your eyes the way that my eyes were your eyes the way that my eyes were opened when this happened and I know opened when this happened and I know opened when this happened and I know that this is really really disturbing that this is really really disturbing that this is really really disturbing but this was what his skin looked like but this was what his skin looked like but this was what his skin looked like and you know I feel so grateful and you know I feel so grateful and you know I feel so grateful unfortunate for what we do for a living unfortunate for what we do for a living unfortunate for what we do for a living because he was able to recover and this because he was able to recover and this because he was able to recover and this is something that they say has no cure is something that they say has no cure is something that they say has no cure and has no ability to recover and we and has no ability to recover and we and has no ability to recover and we actually found that this was due to a actually found that this was due to a actually found that this was due to a massive toxicity that he was exposed to massive toxicity that he was exposed to massive toxicity that he was exposed to from landscaping chemicals that he got from landscaping chemicals that he got from landscaping chemicals that he got exposed to and with that being said he exposed to and with that being said he exposed to and with that being said he was able to recover but during that was able to recover but during that was able to recover but during that process of watching the what his skin process of watching the what his skin process of watching the what his skin looks like that is happening inside of looks like that is happening inside of looks like that is happening inside of us when we were dealing with an us when we were dealing with an us when we were dealing with an autoimmune condition and if anything I autoimmune condition and if anything I autoimmune condition and if anything I show that to help people to take action show that to help people to take action show that to help people to take action because this is what makes us more because this is what makes us more because this is what makes us more susceptible to the colon cancers and the susceptible to the colon cancers and the susceptible to the colon cancers and the gastric cancers and it makes us you know gastric cancers and it makes us you know gastric cancers and it makes us you know obviously just live a life of just obviously just live a life of just obviously just live a life of just settling for being in pain and settling settling for being in pain and settling settling for being in pain and settling for sleeping upright because our for sleeping upright because our for sleeping upright because our gastrointestinal system is so stressed gastrointestinal system is so stressed gastrointestinal system is so stressed and we're dealing with such bad reflux and we're dealing with such bad reflux and we're dealing with such bad reflux and you know for him like I said this and you know for him like I said this and you know for him like I said this was partly a massive chemical exposure was partly a massive chemical exposure was partly a massive chemical exposure that caused this condition for him and that caused this condition for him and that caused this condition for him and this is the reason for this next slide this is the reason for this next slide this is the reason for this next slide is this is not just about what you're is this is not just about what you're is this is not just about what you're eating you know so many of us are eating you know so many of us are eating you know so many of us are constantly like racking our brains about constantly like racking our brains about constantly like racking our brains about our gut thinking what did I eat today our gut thinking what did I eat today our gut thinking what did I eat today you know what you know what food you know what you know what food you know what you know what food triggered this response and sometimes triggered this response and sometimes triggered this response and sometimes it's not the food sometimes it's the it's not the food sometimes it's the it's not the food sometimes it's the chemicals on the food sometimes it's the chemicals on the food sometimes it's the chemicals on the food sometimes it's the additives in the food sometimes it's the additives in the food sometimes it's the additives in the food sometimes it's the the chemicals that were being exposed to the chemicals that were being exposed to the chemicals that were being exposed to from gum or chewing or you know a riot e from gum or chewing or you know a riot e from gum or chewing or you know a riot e of other things so it comes down to of other things so it comes down to of other things so it comes down to really understanding that this is not really understanding that this is not really understanding that this is not just singular and linear this is not just singular and linear this is not just singular and linear this is not just about one thing and these are some just about one thing and these are some just about one thing and these are some of the chemicals that I see all the time of the chemicals that I see all the time of the chemicals that I see all the time affecting the gut affecting the gut affecting the gut I see everything from different types of I see everything from different types of I see everything from different types of pesticides to herbicides I see pesticides to herbicides I see pesticides to herbicides I see glyphosate glyphosate is the active glyphosate glyphosate is the active glyphosate glyphosate is the active chemical that is found in roundup which chemical that is found in roundup which chemical that is found in roundup which is found in our genetically modified is found in our genetically modified is found in our genetically modified foods glyphosate is one of the biggest foods glyphosate is one of the biggest foods glyphosate is one of the biggest connections to leaky gut syndrome then connections to leaky gut syndrome then connections to leaky gut syndrome then on top of it we're constantly getting on top of it we're constantly getting on top of it we're constantly getting exposed to chloroform chloroform you exposed to chloroform chloroform you exposed to chloroform chloroform you might be thinking like is that the stuff might be thinking like is that the stuff might be thinking like is that the stuff that people like put over people's faces that people like put over people's faces that people like put over people's faces to make them pass out and you're right to make them pass out and you're right to make them pass out and you're right yes but chloroform is also happening yes but chloroform is also happening yes but chloroform is also happening we're getting exposed to it every time we're getting exposed to it every time we're getting exposed to it every time we take a shower reason being is because we take a shower reason being is because we take a shower reason being is because they use chlorine and ammonia to clean they use chlorine and ammonia to clean they use chlorine and ammonia to clean our city water and then when you turn on our city water and then when you turn on our city water and then when you turn on your shower and it's hot and you have your shower and it's hot and you have your shower and it's hot and you have steam it creates the compound chloroform steam it creates the compound chloroform steam it creates the compound chloroform so we're getting little doses of so we're getting little doses of so we're getting little doses of chloroform every single time with shower chloroform every single time with shower chloroform every single time with shower then we have gluten which is not the then we have gluten which is not the then we have gluten which is not the gluten you get in Italy it's not the gluten you get in Italy it's not the gluten you get in Italy it's not the gluten you're getting in France our gluten you're getting in France our gluten you're getting in France our gluten in the u.s. is hybridized and it gluten in the u.s. is hybridized and it gluten in the u.s. is hybridized and it is very very different than what nature is very very different than what nature is very very different than what nature intended which is one of the major intended which is one of the major intended which is one of the major reasons why so many of us are having reasons why so many of us are having reasons why so many of us are having reactions to it so gluten is very much reactions to it so gluten is very much reactions to it so gluten is very much manipulated it is not true gluten manipulated it is not true gluten manipulated it is not true gluten anymore anymore anymore another thing too is called manganese another thing too is called manganese another thing too is called manganese manganese peroxide so manganese peroxide manganese peroxide so manganese peroxide manganese peroxide so manganese peroxide is actually very interesting because it is actually very interesting because it is actually very interesting because it is part of the decomposition of fungus is part of the decomposition of fungus is part of the decomposition of fungus so this is really eye-opening because so this is really eye-opening because so this is really eye-opening because people are if we ever even have mold or people are if we ever even have mold or people are if we ever even have mold or fungus on our radar we think of molds fungus on our radar we think of molds fungus on our radar we think of molds that's visible in our home because of a that's visible in our home because of a that's visible in our home because of a leak or you know some type of water leak or you know some type of water leak or you know some type of water damage but what's fascinating is that damage but what's fascinating is that damage but what's fascinating is that there is mold on a lot of the foods that there is mold on a lot of the foods that there is mold on a lot of the foods that we eat and I will tell you an we eat and I will tell you an we eat and I will tell you an interesting story because when I was in interesting story because when I was in interesting story because when I was in France I was watching the news France I was watching the news France I was watching the news and one of the interesting things that and one of the interesting things that and one of the interesting things that came up was a segment on agriculture I'm came up was a segment on agriculture I'm came up was a segment on agriculture I'm sorry technology in agriculture it was sorry technology in agriculture it was sorry technology in agriculture it was called Agrotech and one of the things called Agrotech and one of the things called Agrotech and one of the things that they were showcasing was artificial that they were showcasing was artificial that they were showcasing was artificial intelligence in the vineyards of France intelligence in the vineyards of France intelligence in the vineyards of France so they literally have these cameras so they literally have these cameras so they literally have these cameras that are hovering over the vineyards and that are hovering over the vineyards and that are hovering over the vineyards and what their job is is to screen the vines what their job is is to screen the vines what their job is is to screen the vines for fungus mold and if they ever find for fungus mold and if they ever find for fungus mold and if they ever find any traces of it it goes back to a any traces of it it goes back to a any traces of it it goes back to a technology and they're able to go in and technology and they're able to go in and technology and they're able to go in and rip that vine out so it doesn't spread rip that vine out so it doesn't spread rip that vine out so it doesn't spread so this was very eye-opening to me so this was very eye-opening to me so this was very eye-opening to me because this just validates that there because this just validates that there because this just validates that there is a ton of problems with fungus on the is a ton of problems with fungus on the is a ton of problems with fungus on the food that we eat wine being one a lot of food that we eat wine being one a lot of food that we eat wine being one a lot of nuts seeds wheat quinoa rice all of nuts seeds wheat quinoa rice all of nuts seeds wheat quinoa rice all of these different foods if they're not these different foods if they're not these different foods if they're not monitored properly are high mold foods monitored properly are high mold foods monitored properly are high mold foods which can also create a lot of negative which can also create a lot of negative which can also create a lot of negative effects on our gastrointestinal system effects on our gastrointestinal system effects on our gastrointestinal system so again this is not just about so again this is not just about so again this is not just about infections this is not just about acid infections this is not just about acid infections this is not just about acid problems there is a bigger picture problems there is a bigger picture problems there is a bigger picture behind the things that we're being behind the things that we're being behind the things that we're being exposed to so some of the other pieces exposed to so some of the other pieces exposed to so some of the other pieces of the puzzle when it comes to testing of the puzzle when it comes to testing of the puzzle when it comes to testing is what you're seeing on the left is is what you're seeing on the left is is what you're seeing on the left is actually the celiac test that's done actually the celiac test that's done actually the celiac test that's done through lab court so you can see that through lab court so you can see that through lab court so you can see that there are six items that are being there are six items that are being there are six items that are being tested by the lab cork test and one of tested by the lab cork test and one of tested by the lab cork test and one of them is deaminated gliadin them is deaminated gliadin them is deaminated gliadin so if you look to the right this is so if you look to the right this is so if you look to the right this is actually a true comprehensive celiac actually a true comprehensive celiac actually a true comprehensive celiac panel that's done by a company called CX panel that's done by a company called CX panel that's done by a company called CX labs so what you're gonna see here is labs so what you're gonna see here is labs so what you're gonna see here is that there is alpha gliadin gamma that there is alpha gliadin gamma that there is alpha gliadin gamma created Omega Glee then there's glutenin created Omega Glee then there's glutenin created Omega Glee then there's glutenin and this is actually breaking down all and this is actually breaking down all and this is actually breaking down all the different types of gliadin because the different types of gliadin because the different types of gliadin because there's all different types there's not there's all different types there's not there's all different types there's not just the Omega gliadin or just alpha just the Omega gliadin or just alpha just the Omega gliadin or just alpha gliadin so the point of this is that you gliadin so the point of this is that you gliadin so the point of this is that you could easily be suffering with all could easily be suffering with all could easily be suffering with all different types of gastrointestinal different types of gastrointestinal different types of gastrointestinal issues you go and you get a celiac issues you go and you get a celiac issues you go and you get a celiac my LabCorp and they tell you oh no you my LabCorp and they tell you oh no you my LabCorp and they tell you oh no you definitely don't have an issue with definitely don't have an issue with definitely don't have an issue with celiac and you clearly don't have an celiac and you clearly don't have an celiac and you clearly don't have an issue with gluten so you continue eating issue with gluten so you continue eating issue with gluten so you continue eating gluten and you're actually perpetuating gluten and you're actually perpetuating gluten and you're actually perpetuating your problem so this just shows you that your problem so this just shows you that your problem so this just shows you that these six items that are being ran these six items that are being ran these six items that are being ran there's a lot more that needs to be there's a lot more that needs to be there's a lot more that needs to be looked at to truly decipher does a looked at to truly decipher does a looked at to truly decipher does a person have celiac or not person have celiac or not person have celiac or not so I already briefly mentioned this is so I already briefly mentioned this is so I already briefly mentioned this is when it comes down to the concept of when it comes down to the concept of when it comes down to the concept of using an endoscope an endoscope is they using an endoscope an endoscope is they using an endoscope an endoscope is they show up a camera down into the show up a camera down into the show up a camera down into the gastrointestinal system and they're gastrointestinal system and they're gastrointestinal system and they're looking around to see if there is any looking around to see if there is any looking around to see if there is any problems and one of the things that they problems and one of the things that they problems and one of the things that they will do to confirm if there is celiac is will do to confirm if there is celiac is will do to confirm if there is celiac is they're going to then biopsy the tissue they're going to then biopsy the tissue they're going to then biopsy the tissue and they're going to verify are is there and they're going to verify are is there and they're going to verify are is there damage to the villi and what's very damage to the villi and what's very damage to the villi and what's very interesting about this is depending on interesting about this is depending on interesting about this is depending on where the biopsies or the samples of where the biopsies or the samples of where the biopsies or the samples of tissue are being taken from this could tissue are being taken from this could tissue are being taken from this could either be celiac or this could be a either be celiac or this could be a either be celiac or this could be a different condition called autoimmune different condition called autoimmune different condition called autoimmune pernicious anemia and this is very very pernicious anemia and this is very very pernicious anemia and this is very very important for those of you that are important for those of you that are important for those of you that are dealing with the GERD the indigestion dealing with the GERD the indigestion dealing with the GERD the indigestion the reflux symptoms because autoimmune the reflux symptoms because autoimmune the reflux symptoms because autoimmune pernicious anemia stems from the stomach pernicious anemia stems from the stomach pernicious anemia stems from the stomach and what I mean by that is you have very and what I mean by that is you have very and what I mean by that is you have very very specific cells in your stomach very specific cells in your stomach very specific cells in your stomach called parietal cells if you get an called parietal cells if you get an called parietal cells if you get an infection in those parietal cells like infection in those parietal cells like infection in those parietal cells like the h pylori and the immune system is the h pylori and the immune system is the h pylori and the immune system is going to the area to try to kill off going to the area to try to kill off going to the area to try to kill off that infection it could start to damage that infection it could start to damage that infection it could start to damage your parietal cells if your parietal your parietal cells if your parietal your parietal cells if your parietal cells become damaged you can no longer cells become damaged you can no longer cells become damaged you can no longer absorb b12 and then you develop what we absorb b12 and then you develop what we absorb b12 and then you develop what we call pernicious anemia pernicious anemia call pernicious anemia pernicious anemia call pernicious anemia pernicious anemia is not an iron deficiency this is a b12 is not an iron deficiency this is a b12 is not an iron deficiency this is a b12 deficiency so if you're someone who's deficiency so if you're someone who's deficiency so if you're someone who's been dealing with gut issues and in been dealing with gut issues and in been dealing with gut issues and in addition you're very b12 deficient no addition you're very b12 deficient no addition you're very b12 deficient no matter what you do you might need to matter what you do you might need to matter what you do you might need to explore do you have autoimmune explore do you have autoimmune explore do you have autoimmune pernicious anemia and this can be done pernicious anemia and this can be done pernicious anemia and this can be done by a very very simple blood test called by a very very simple blood test called by a very very simple blood test called anti parietal cell antibodies so I mentioned parasites early on in the so I mentioned parasites early on in the so I mentioned parasites early on in the the webinar so for those of you that are the webinar so for those of you that are the webinar so for those of you that are just hopping on one of the things that I just hopping on one of the things that I just hopping on one of the things that I said was we are currently in a full moon said was we are currently in a full moon said was we are currently in a full moon it started yesterday so if your stomach it started yesterday so if your stomach it started yesterday so if your stomach issues have been worse issues have been worse issues have been worse over the past two days or your mood has over the past two days or your mood has over the past two days or your mood has been worse been worse been worse you might be dealing with a parasite you might be dealing with a parasite you might be dealing with a parasite issue and if you have been working with issue and if you have been working with issue and if you have been working with all different types of physicians even all different types of physicians even all different types of physicians even functional medicine or integrative functional medicine or integrative functional medicine or integrative medicine physicians I know personally it medicine physicians I know personally it medicine physicians I know personally it took me a long time to learn this is took me a long time to learn this is took me a long time to learn this is that parasites are very very difficult that parasites are very very difficult that parasites are very very difficult to diagnose and the reason they're to diagnose and the reason they're to diagnose and the reason they're difficult to diagnose is because in your difficult to diagnose is because in your difficult to diagnose is because in your stool sample so after your bowel stool sample so after your bowel stool sample so after your bowel movement leaves your body is twenty movement leaves your body is twenty movement leaves your body is twenty minutes after your bowel movement leaves minutes after your bowel movement leaves minutes after your bowel movement leaves your body any parasites that would have your body any parasites that would have your body any parasites that would have been in your stool sample will been in your stool sample will been in your stool sample will self-destruct so by the time you package self-destruct so by the time you package self-destruct so by the time you package up your sample and you send it off to a up your sample and you send it off to a up your sample and you send it off to a lab to analyze it chances are all of the lab to analyze it chances are all of the lab to analyze it chances are all of the parasites in your sample will parasites in your sample will parasites in your sample will self-destruct and they will detect no self-destruct and they will detect no self-destruct and they will detect no parasites and I learned this the hard parasites and I learned this the hard parasites and I learned this the hard way because I was working with a young way because I was working with a young way because I was working with a young boy who was about seven years old he had boy who was about seven years old he had boy who was about seven years old he had a lot of sensory issue news so he was a lot of sensory issue news so he was a lot of sensory issue news so he was unable to take any supplement orally so unable to take any supplement orally so unable to take any supplement orally so mom decided that the best approach was mom decided that the best approach was mom decided that the best approach was to use a suppository which is inserted to use a suppository which is inserted to use a suppository which is inserted into the rectum to help him with his into the rectum to help him with his into the rectum to help him with his detox process so as she was doing that detox process so as she was doing that detox process so as she was doing that one night she saw a worm and at this one night she saw a worm and at this one night she saw a worm and at this point I already did a stool sample which point I already did a stool sample which point I already did a stool sample which deemed him free of parasites we did deemed him free of parasites we did deemed him free of parasites we did another stool sample which deemed him another stool sample which deemed him another stool sample which deemed him free of parasites again and at that free of parasites again and at that free of parasites again and at that point she's like I've seen worms three point she's like I've seen worms three point she's like I've seen worms three times what are we gonna do about it times what are we gonna do about it times what are we gonna do about it and I started to really dig into the and I started to really dig into the and I started to really dig into the research to understand more about this research to understand more about this research to understand more about this and I then uncovered how difficult it is and I then uncovered how difficult it is and I then uncovered how difficult it is to diagnose parasites so with that being to diagnose parasites so with that being to diagnose parasites so with that being said if you are someone who has been said if you are someone who has been said if you are someone who has been struggling with your gastrointestinal struggling with your gastrointestinal struggling with your gastrointestinal system and you've done supplements and system and you've done supplements and system and you've done supplements and you've done dietary changes and you've you've done dietary changes and you've you've done dietary changes and you've done an elimination diet and you've done an elimination diet and you've done an elimination diet and you've worked with integrative in functional worked with integrative in functional worked with integrative in functional doctors they may potentially have missed doctors they may potentially have missed doctors they may potentially have missed this part of the puzzle because this part of the puzzle because this part of the puzzle because they're testing did not allow for a they're testing did not allow for a they're testing did not allow for a proper diagnosis so it's very important proper diagnosis so it's very important proper diagnosis so it's very important to understand that because parasites are to understand that because parasites are to understand that because parasites are a lot more prevalent than we may think a lot more prevalent than we may think a lot more prevalent than we may think it's actually proven that one in four it's actually proven that one in four it's actually proven that one in four people have parasite issues okay so a people have parasite issues okay so a people have parasite issues okay so a very very interesting story about very very interesting story about very very interesting story about someone who was struggling with someone who was struggling with someone who was struggling with irritable bowel syndrome in addition to irritable bowel syndrome in addition to irritable bowel syndrome in addition to struggling with migraines they actually struggling with migraines they actually struggling with migraines they actually came in mainly because of the migraines came in mainly because of the migraines came in mainly because of the migraines because the migraines were so frequent because the migraines were so frequent because the migraines were so frequent and so bad that they were really missing and so bad that they were really missing and so bad that they were really missing a lot of work it was almost getting to a lot of work it was almost getting to a lot of work it was almost getting to the point that they were gonna have to the point that they were gonna have to the point that they were gonna have to go on a leave of absence so during the go on a leave of absence so during the go on a leave of absence so during the consultation one of the things that was consultation one of the things that was consultation one of the things that was uncovered by the patient was that she uncovered by the patient was that she uncovered by the patient was that she was dealing with a lot of pain in her was dealing with a lot of pain in her was dealing with a lot of pain in her right ribcage area which is actually right ribcage area which is actually right ribcage area which is actually where your liver and gallbladder is where your liver and gallbladder is where your liver and gallbladder is located and she also disclosed that she located and she also disclosed that she located and she also disclosed that she was lactose intolerant so a lot of times was lactose intolerant so a lot of times was lactose intolerant so a lot of times with patients when they tell me they're with patients when they tell me they're with patients when they tell me they're lactose intolerant I often start lactose intolerant I often start lactose intolerant I often start thinking okay are they truly lactose thinking okay are they truly lactose thinking okay are they truly lactose intolerant or do they actually have an intolerant or do they actually have an intolerant or do they actually have an issue with breaking down fats which issue with breaking down fats which issue with breaking down fats which stems from the gallbladder stems from the gallbladder stems from the gallbladder so I already kind of had a red flag so I already kind of had a red flag so I already kind of had a red flag there's something going on with this there's something going on with this there's something going on with this person's gallbladder so we actually did person's gallbladder so we actually did person's gallbladder so we actually did all of our different tests and one of all of our different tests and one of all of our different tests and one of the things that ended up coming up was the things that ended up coming up was the things that ended up coming up was she was definitely dealing with some she was definitely dealing with some she was definitely dealing with some infections in her gut parasites were one infections in her gut parasites were one infections in her gut parasites were one of the pieces of the puzzle but one of of the pieces of the puzzle but one of of the pieces of the puzzle but one of the things that the parasites were the things that the parasites were the things that the parasites were actually affecting was her gallbladder actually affecting was her gallbladder actually affecting was her gallbladder so the lactose intolerance the pain in so the lactose intolerance the pain in so the lactose intolerance the pain in the right ribcage area was actually the right ribcage area was actually the right ribcage area was actually stemming from her gallbladder so just so stemming from her gallbladder so just so stemming from her gallbladder so just so you know for those four people that are you know for those four people that are you know for those four people that are dealing with gallbladder issues they dealing with gallbladder issues they dealing with gallbladder issues they have a tendency to fluctuate between have a tendency to fluctuate between have a tendency to fluctuate between loose bowel movements and constipation loose bowel movements and constipation loose bowel movements and constipation because what happens is is depending on because what happens is is depending on because what happens is is depending on the gallbladder and the stress that it's the gallbladder and the stress that it's the gallbladder and the stress that it's under it will either over produce bile under it will either over produce bile under it will either over produce bile or under produce tile and with that if or under produce tile and with that if or under produce tile and with that if you're over producing the bile you'll you're over producing the bile you'll you're over producing the bile you'll have more of those looser bowel have more of those looser bowel have more of those looser bowel movements and then if you're under movements and then if you're under movements and then if you're under producing then you're gonna have more producing then you're gonna have more producing then you're gonna have more constipation so you can easily yo-yo constipation so you can easily yo-yo constipation so you can easily yo-yo with this throughout the week or even with this throughout the week or even with this throughout the week or even the months so as we explored and we did the months so as we explored and we did the months so as we explored and we did some of our other tasks one of the other some of our other tasks one of the other some of our other tasks one of the other things that we did was our bio scan and things that we did was our bio scan and things that we did was our bio scan and our our our bioscan is different than the previous bioscan is different than the previous bioscan is different than the previous thing that I showed you guys because the thing that I showed you guys because the thing that I showed you guys because the bioscan is a test that scans the bioscan is a test that scans the bioscan is a test that scans the meridians of the body and meridians are meridians of the body and meridians are meridians of the body and meridians are pretty much the energy channels to all pretty much the energy channels to all pretty much the energy channels to all of your different organs but what's of your different organs but what's of your different organs but what's interesting is meridians follow very interesting is meridians follow very interesting is meridians follow very very specific patterns so we decided to very specific patterns so we decided to very specific patterns so we decided to scan her gallbladder Meridian to see if scan her gallbladder Meridian to see if scan her gallbladder Meridian to see if there was any additional stress that we there was any additional stress that we there was any additional stress that we may have missed and what it was may have missed and what it was may have missed and what it was uncovered was that her gallbladder uncovered was that her gallbladder uncovered was that her gallbladder Meridian was extremely stressed and it Meridian was extremely stressed and it Meridian was extremely stressed and it was partly due to some of the parasite was partly due to some of the parasite was partly due to some of the parasite issues it was also partly due to some issues it was also partly due to some issues it was also partly due to some toxicity issues but if you look at this toxicity issues but if you look at this toxicity issues but if you look at this diagram here this is showing you the diagram here this is showing you the diagram here this is showing you the pattern of the gallbladder Meridian on pattern of the gallbladder Meridian on pattern of the gallbladder Meridian on the head so it was the side of the head the head so it was the side of the head the head so it was the side of the head that it was specifically on her right that it was specifically on her right that it was specifically on her right side was where her migraines were so her side was where her migraines were so her side was where her migraines were so her IBS her ear will bow was actually IBS her ear will bow was actually IBS her ear will bow was actually happening for years and she almost happening for years and she almost happening for years and she almost didn't even talk about it because she didn't even talk about it because she didn't even talk about it because she just learned to adapt to it it was just just learned to adapt to it it was just just learned to adapt to it it was just her normal but her migraines were so her normal but her migraines were so her normal but her migraines were so debilitating because what was happening debilitating because what was happening debilitating because what was happening is that her long long-standing gut is that her long long-standing gut is that her long long-standing gut issues weren't getting better they were issues weren't getting better they were issues weren't getting better they were getting worse and her gallbladder was getting worse and her gallbladder was getting worse and her gallbladder was one of the most stressed parts of her one of the most stressed parts of her one of the most stressed parts of her gastrointestinal system and that stress gastrointestinal system and that stress gastrointestinal system and that stress was then in turn the biggest culprit was then in turn the biggest culprit was then in turn the biggest culprit behind her migraines so it was a gut behind her migraines so it was a gut behind her migraines so it was a gut problem all along it was never actually problem all along it was never actually problem all along it was never actually a head problem so this is just the a head problem so this is just the a head problem so this is just the beauty of some of the tests that we do beauty of some of the tests that we do beauty of some of the tests that we do on a day to day basis is being able to on a day to day basis is being able to on a day to day basis is being able to really target what is the culprit what really target what is the culprit what really target what is the culprit what is the route and you don't only just is the route and you don't only just is the route and you don't only just resolve the problem the person's coming resolve the problem the person's coming resolve the problem the person's coming in with but you potentially resolve so in with but you potentially resolve so in with but you potentially resolve so many other things that they have just many other things that they have just many other things that they have just adapted to that are just they're normal adapted to that are just they're normal adapted to that are just they're normal at this point all right so secret number at this point all right so secret number at this point all right so secret number three is gut disease autoimmunity is three is gut disease autoimmunity is three is gut disease autoimmunity is irreversible so at the end of the day if irreversible so at the end of the day if irreversible so at the end of the day if you understand the root cause anything you understand the root cause anything you understand the root cause anything is possible is possible is possible so if you're able to do the right so if you're able to do the right so if you're able to do the right testing to figure out is the GERD the testing to figure out is the GERD the testing to figure out is the GERD the reflux the indigestion is it because of reflux the indigestion is it because of reflux the indigestion is it because of an infection is it because of toxins is an infection is it because of toxins is an infection is it because of toxins is it because of a dental problem is it it because of a dental problem is it it because of a dental problem is it because of because of gum disease because of because of gum disease because of because of gum disease is it because of so many other things is is it because of so many other things is is it because of so many other things is that the cause that will allow us to that the cause that will allow us to that the cause that will allow us to then uncover what can we do to get then uncover what can we do to get then uncover what can we do to get better but if you don't actually know better but if you don't actually know better but if you don't actually know and you just assume that you have an and you just assume that you have an and you just assume that you have an overproduction of acid you're going to overproduction of acid you're going to overproduction of acid you're going to be the the hamster on the wheel and be the the hamster on the wheel and be the the hamster on the wheel and you're going to I feel better I feel you're going to I feel better I feel you're going to I feel better I feel worse I feel better I feel worse and worse I feel better I feel worse and worse I feel better I feel worse and then you're gonna use more medication then you're gonna use more medication then you're gonna use more medication maybe you'll use different medication maybe you'll use different medication maybe you'll use different medication maybe you'll use two medications and maybe you'll use two medications and maybe you'll use two medications and you'll just constantly hit plateaus with you'll just constantly hit plateaus with you'll just constantly hit plateaus with what you're dealing with and you know I what you're dealing with and you know I what you're dealing with and you know I put this quote in here in Crohn's put this quote in here in Crohn's put this quote in here in Crohn's disease disease disease a rogue immune system attacks the a rogue immune system attacks the a rogue immune system attacks the digestive tract causing inflammation and digestive tract causing inflammation and digestive tract causing inflammation and tissue damage and this kind of just this tissue damage and this kind of just this tissue damage and this kind of just this is literally from the CDC by the way the is literally from the CDC by the way the is literally from the CDC by the way the Center for Disease Control and the Center for Disease Control and the Center for Disease Control and the reason I put this in here because we're reason I put this in here because we're reason I put this in here because we're literally just sitting back just being literally just sitting back just being literally just sitting back just being like oh well the immune system is like oh well the immune system is like oh well the immune system is attacking the digestive tract we don't attacking the digestive tract we don't attacking the digestive tract we don't really know why well we're just gonna really know why well we're just gonna really know why well we're just gonna you know flood your body with either you know flood your body with either you know flood your body with either steroids anti-inflammatories steroids anti-inflammatories steroids anti-inflammatories anti-spasmodics and then if it gets bad anti-spasmodics and then if it gets bad anti-spasmodics and then if it gets bad enough we'll put you on a biologic which enough we'll put you on a biologic which enough we'll put you on a biologic which is going to shut down your immune system is going to shut down your immune system is going to shut down your immune system and like this is what we're settling for and like this is what we're settling for and like this is what we're settling for to be the solution and we're we're not to be the solution and we're we're not to be the solution and we're we're not asking more questions we're not even you asking more questions we're not even you asking more questions we're not even you know knowing the questions to ask and know knowing the questions to ask and know knowing the questions to ask and that's why I'm doing this and this is that's why I'm doing this and this is that's why I'm doing this and this is why I do these webinars is because I why I do these webinars is because I why I do these webinars is because I want you to ask better questions I want want you to ask better questions I want want you to ask better questions I want you to know that you know your gut you to know that you know your gut you to know that you know your gut issues can be connected to other things issues can be connected to other things issues can be connected to other things and there easily can be testing that and there easily can be testing that and there easily can be testing that you've never explored and that's the you've never explored and that's the you've never explored and that's the reason why you haven't gotten answers reason why you haven't gotten answers reason why you haven't gotten answers yet so very very rarely do things yet so very very rarely do things yet so very very rarely do things manifest like a textbook and I think manifest like a textbook and I think manifest like a textbook and I think this is just so important is if you open this is just so important is if you open this is just so important is if you open a textbook a medical textbook and you a textbook a medical textbook and you a textbook a medical textbook and you look up gastroesophageal reflux disorder look up gastroesophageal reflux disorder look up gastroesophageal reflux disorder or if you look up heartburn or or if you look up heartburn or or if you look up heartburn or indigestion there's going to be this indigestion there's going to be this indigestion there's going to be this textbook of this is what happens this is textbook of this is what happens this is textbook of this is what happens this is why it happens this is how it happens why it happens this is how it happens why it happens this is how it happens this is how you fix it this is how you fix it this is how you fix it and unfortunately that's not always how and unfortunately that's not always how and unfortunately that's not always how it works it works it works being in clinical practice I see so many being in clinical practice I see so many being in clinical practice I see so many different reasons for someone having different reasons for someone having different reasons for someone having reflux disorders I see sometimes it's reflux disorders I see sometimes it's reflux disorders I see sometimes it's because someone has a boatload of because someone has a boatload of because someone has a boatload of pesticides and toxicity that is pesticides and toxicity that is pesticides and toxicity that is affecting their gut i see h pylori affecting their gut i see h pylori affecting their gut i see h pylori infections I see stress infections I see stress infections I see stress I see dental issues there could be so I see dental issues there could be so I see dental issues there could be so many reasons for why you're developing many reasons for why you're developing many reasons for why you're developing those symptoms and if you don't match those symptoms and if you don't match those symptoms and if you don't match the textbook the textbook the textbook you can't expect that the textbook you can't expect that the textbook you can't expect that the textbook protocol is going to be your best protocol is going to be your best protocol is going to be your best solution so it's a matter of solution so it's a matter of solution so it's a matter of understanding that there might be more understanding that there might be more understanding that there might be more to the picture but more importantly you to the picture but more importantly you to the picture but more importantly you might not do well with the cookie cutter might not do well with the cookie cutter might not do well with the cookie cutter approach it's really just looking at you approach it's really just looking at you approach it's really just looking at you and looking at the specificity behind and looking at the specificity behind and looking at the specificity behind what's going to get you better so one of what's going to get you better so one of what's going to get you better so one of the big things that I I think is the big things that I I think is the big things that I I think is important to establish is this concept important to establish is this concept important to establish is this concept of the old old model versus the new so of the old old model versus the new so of the old old model versus the new so we can talk all day about you know we can talk all day about you know we can talk all day about you know conventional approaches versus you know conventional approaches versus you know conventional approaches versus you know functional integrative approaches but at functional integrative approaches but at functional integrative approaches but at the end of the day when it comes down to the end of the day when it comes down to the end of the day when it comes down to conventional methods conventional conventional methods conventional conventional methods conventional methods is a lot of what we've talked methods is a lot of what we've talked methods is a lot of what we've talked about already it's looking at you as a about already it's looking at you as a about already it's looking at you as a textbook okay you have gastro esophageal textbook okay you have gastro esophageal textbook okay you have gastro esophageal reflux disorder so there only could be a reflux disorder so there only could be a reflux disorder so there only could be a few reasons for that but here is going few reasons for that but here is going few reasons for that but here is going to be your acid blockers and if you this to be your acid blockers and if you this to be your acid blockers and if you this fails then we'll do surgery and then we fails then we'll do surgery and then we fails then we'll do surgery and then we have the functional versus the have the functional versus the have the functional versus the integrative approach so in functional integrative approach so in functional integrative approach so in functional medicine I primarily started my career medicine I primarily started my career medicine I primarily started my career doing functional medicine and then I doing functional medicine and then I doing functional medicine and then I moved into this concept of integrative moved into this concept of integrative moved into this concept of integrative medicine the reason I did that was medicine the reason I did that was medicine the reason I did that was because one of my personal mentors dr. because one of my personal mentors dr. because one of my personal mentors dr. Klink Hart some of you may be familiar Klink Hart some of you may be familiar Klink Hart some of you may be familiar with that name dr. Klink Hart said to me with that name dr. Klink Hart said to me with that name dr. Klink Hart said to me if all you do is diet in supplements do if all you do is diet in supplements do if all you do is diet in supplements do not call yourself integrative and my not call yourself integrative and my not call yourself integrative and my business is called integrative Lammas business is called integrative Lammas business is called integrative Lammas group and it made me really start group and it made me really start group and it made me really start thinking that I'm I'm doing more but my thinking that I'm I'm doing more but my thinking that I'm I'm doing more but my approach was still very linear approach was still very linear approach was still very linear I was putting people on you know an I was putting people on you know an I was putting people on you know an elimination diet or you know putting elimination diet or you know putting elimination diet or you know putting them on a custom diet that I thought was them on a custom diet that I thought was them on a custom diet that I thought was going to be good and then I was giving going to be good and then I was giving going to be good and then I was giving them a supplement regimen that was the them a supplement regimen that was the them a supplement regimen that was the cookie cutter for the h pylori or the cookie cutter for the h pylori or the cookie cutter for the h pylori or the cookie cutter for the irritable bowel or cookie cutter for the irritable bowel or cookie cutter for the irritable bowel or the cookie cutter for the parasite the cookie cutter for the parasite the cookie cutter for the parasite infection and some people did well and infection and some people did well and infection and some people did well and some people didn't and I knew that for some people didn't and I knew that for some people didn't and I knew that for every void that I saw and every plot every void that I saw and every plot every void that I saw and every plot there was more to it and that we had to there was more to it and that we had to there was more to it and that we had to consider all of the factors and we had consider all of the factors and we had consider all of the factors and we had to consider is there an emotional piece to consider is there an emotional piece to consider is there an emotional piece is there a stressful piece is there a is there a stressful piece is there a is there a stressful piece is there a toxicity piece and that when it comes to toxicity piece and that when it comes to toxicity piece and that when it comes to the healing process that it's not the healing process that it's not the healing process that it's not necessarily just about diet and necessarily just about diet and necessarily just about diet and supplements because honestly the people supplements because honestly the people supplements because honestly the people that I work with most of them have that I work with most of them have that I work with most of them have already tried that route they already already tried that route they already already tried that route they already tried to change their diet they already tried to change their diet they already tried to change their diet they already tried a supplement regimen half of them tried a supplement regimen half of them tried a supplement regimen half of them have a whole cabinet full of fancy have a whole cabinet full of fancy have a whole cabinet full of fancy supplements that they spent a lot of supplements that they spent a lot of supplements that they spent a lot of money on and they're looking for money on and they're looking for money on and they're looking for something more they're looking for a something more they're looking for a something more they're looking for a deeper approach they're looking for a deeper approach they're looking for a deeper approach they're looking for a solution and that is what led me down solution and that is what led me down solution and that is what led me down this road of being integrated because this road of being integrated because this road of being integrated because nothing is black and white if anything nothing is black and white if anything nothing is black and white if anything there is tons and tons of gray when it there is tons and tons of gray when it there is tons and tons of gray when it comes to healthcare so one of the comes to

different is we want it to all something different is we want it to all something different is we want it to all go through her insurance and I totally go through her insurance and I totally go through her insurance and I totally get that because a lot of us are usually get that because a lot of us are usually get that because a lot of us are usually spending a lot of money on insurance but spending a lot of money on insurance but spending a lot of money on insurance but one thing that's super important to one thing that's super important to one thing that's super important to understand

need to do on a day to day basis get to the grocery store get the basis get to the grocery store get the basis get to the grocery store get the kids to soccer practice and we really kids to soccer practice and we really kids to soccer practice and we really need to start thinking about our need to start thinking about our need to start thinking about our self-care differently because the longer self-care differently because the longer self-care differently because the longer that we sit here and say oh I can't do that we sit here and say oh I can't do that we sit here and say oh I can't do self-care because that makes me selfish self-care because that makes me selfish self-care because that makes me selfish the more that we're going to have the the more that we're going to have the the

always a big know because I know that's always a big know because I know that's always a big question is you know how does insurance question is you know how does insurance question is you know how does insurance work with your practice and I will tell work with your practice and I will tell work with your practice and I will tell you we serve people we don't and serve you we serve people we don't and serve you we serve people we don't and serve insurance providers because if we did insurance providers because if we did insurance providers because if we did serve insurance providers I would never serve insurance providers I would never serve insurance providers I would never be able to do what I do and I would be able to do what I do and I would be able to do what I do and I would

would never be able to play detective I would never be able to uncover the would never be able to uncover the would never be able to uncover the mystery behind why nobody else could get mystery behind why nobody else could get mystery behind why nobody else could get you better so we really opted to spend you better so we really opted to spend you better so we really opted to spend time we opted to do better testing we time we opted to do better testing we time we opted to do better testing we opted to really be able to uncover what opted to really be able to uncover what opted to really be able to uncover what your body needs and yes of course people your body needs and yes of course people your body needs and yes of course people use their flex savings accounts and they use their flex

shifts to be you hope that the system shifts to be you hope that the system shifts to be you know more more responsive to these know more more responsive to these know more more responsive to these integrative approaches but unfortunately integrative approaches but unfortunately integrative approaches but unfortunately a gun when it comes down to the system a gun when it comes down to the system a gun when it comes down to the system it's for profit and there is a lot of it's for profit and there is a lot of it's for profit and there is a lot of money to be made in pharmacology there's money to be made in pharmacology there's money to be made in pharmacology there's a lot of money to be made in surgeries a lot of money to be made in surgeries a lot of money to be made in surgeries so we haven't fully caught on to you so we haven't fully caught on to you so we haven't fully caught on to you know having insurance be on board with know having insurance be on board with know having insurance be on board with these integrative approaches these integrative approaches these integrative approaches so something that I feel like was really so something that I feel like was really so something that I feel like was really important to add into my webinar is some important to add into my webinar is some important to add into my webinar is some of these things that I hear over and of these things that I hear over and of these things that I hear over and over again and some of the most common over again and some of the most common over again and some of the most common themes is

place that's always in the first place that's always something to ask yourself but when you something to ask yourself but when you something to ask yourself but when you start to step outside of the box and you start to step outside of the box and you start to step outside of the box and you start to really embrace this idea of start to really embrace this idea of start to really embrace this idea of getting well sometimes it's not just getting well sometimes it's not just getting well sometimes it's not just about going in and doing a detox at about going in and doing a detox at about going in and doing a detox at integrated wellness group and detoxing integrated wellness group and detoxing integrated wellness group and detoxing yourself from you know your toxins and yourself from

it's detoxing yourself from the negative people in your life as well the negative people in your life as well the negative people in your life as well and it was actually really amazing I did and it was actually really amazing I did and it was actually really amazing I did a podcast today with a dear friend of a podcast today with a dear friend of a podcast today with a dear friend of mine who has been on her health journey mine who has been on her health journey mine who has been on her health journey and integrative Ronis group has played a and integrative Ronis group has played a and integrative Ronis group has played a small part in that and that's not the small part in that and that's not the small part in that and that's not the reason why I wanted to have her on the reason why I wanted to have her on the reason why I wanted to have her on the podcast I had her on the podcast because podcast I had her on the podcast because podcast I had her on the podcast because she really made a choice and she made a she really made a choice and she made a she really made a choice and she made a choice to be well and as she embarked on choice to be well and as she embarked on choice to be well and as she embarked on being well it wasn't just about the being well it wasn't just about the being well it wasn't just about the supplements it wasn't just about the supplements it wasn't just about the supplements it wasn't just about the diet it wasn't just about you know her diet it wasn't just about you know her diet it wasn't just about you know her it wasn't just about the energy work it it wasn't just about the energy work it it wasn't just about the energy work it wasn't just about those things that she wasn't just about those things that she wasn't just about those things that she was encompassing or seeking out through was encompassing or seeking out through was encompassing or seeking out through other practitioners it was about making other practitioners it was about making other practitioners it was about making massive shifts in her life changing her massive shifts in her life changing her massive shifts in her life changing her habits changing the people she habits changing the people she habits changing the people she surrounded herself with and keep an eye surrounded herself with and keep an eye surrounded herself with and keep an eye out for it cuz it's gonna be out in the out for it cuz it's gonna be out in the out for it cuz it's gonna be out in the next two weeks but I think it was really next two weeks but I think it was really next two weeks but I think it was really really empowering for people to really empowering for people to really empowering for people to understand that you know this is not understand that you know this is not understand that you know this is not necessarily just about you know the necessarily just about you know the necessarily just about you know the physical things that you can do for physical things that you can do for physical things that you can do for yourself this is yourself this is yourself this is beyond that because you know we need to beyond that because you know we need to beyond that because you know we need to stop living in fear of what other people stop living in fear of what other people stop living in fear of what other people are gonna think and we need to do what are gonna think and we need to do what are gonna think and we need to do what we think is best for us because at the we think is best for us because at the we think is best for us because at the end of the day health care is about end of the day health care is about end of the day health care is about answers and solutions and I think we answers and solutions and I think we answers and solutions and I think we forget this I think we forget what forget this I think we forget what forget this I think we forget what health care is supposed to be we kind of health care is supposed to be we kind of health care is supposed to be we kind of get used to the don't fix it until it's get used to the don't fix it until it's get used to the don't fix it until it's broke and then when it is broke that we broke and then when it is broke that we broke and then when it is broke that we want something quick we want something want something quick we want something want something quick we want something fast we don't want something to disrupt fast we don't want something to disrupt fast we don't want something to disrupt our lives we don't want to you know our lives we don't want to you know our lives we don't want to you know change our diet we don't want to get out change our diet we don't want to get out change our diet we don't want to get out of our routine of convenience foods and of our routine of convenience foods and of our routine of convenience foods and you know we we also settle for someone's you know we we also settle for someone's you know we we also settle for someone's opinion you know one thing that I will opinion you know one thing that I will opinion you know one thing that I will say is that I always try to base my say is that I always try to base my say is that I always try to base my recommendations off of my testing I do recommendations off of my testing I do recommendations off of my testing I do not try to base things off of my not try to base things off of my not try to base things off of my subjective opinion because it's my subjective opinion because it's my subjective opinion because it's my opinion but so much of medicine is opinion but so much of medicine is opinion but so much of medicine is someone's opinion and I think that's a someone's opinion and I think that's a someone's opinion and I think that's a really important thing to know is that really important thing to know is that really important thing to know is that when you go to your doctor and they when you go to your doctor and they when you go to your doctor and they recommend a medication they're recommend a medication they're recommend a medication they're recommending that medication because you recommending that medication because you recommending that medication because you look similar to other people that got look similar to other people that got look similar to other people that got results with that medication and when results with that medication and when results with that medication and when they recommend a surgery it's because they recommend a surgery it's because they recommend a surgery it's because you look similar to the research of who you look similar to the research of who you look similar to the research of who that surgery helped so medicine is very that surgery helped so medicine is very that surgery helped so medicine is very very very very subjective and we need to very very very subjective and we need to very very very subjective and we need to ask their questions we need to seek out ask their questions we need to seek out ask their questions we need to seek out more opinions and we need to be able to more opinions and we need to be able to more opinions and we need to be able to sit back and get the information about sit back and get the information about sit back and get the information about our health and be like that makes sense our health and be like that makes sense our health and be like that makes sense I always say I do I did my job if my I always say I do I did my job if my I always say I do I did my job if my patient looks at me and goes wow that patient looks at me and goes wow that patient looks at me and goes wow that makes sense because I was able to piece makes sense because I was able to piece makes sense because I was able to piece all of the puzzle together for them so all of the puzzle together for them so all of the puzzle together for them so it's very very important for us to start it's very very important for us to start it's very very important for us to start demanding more out of our health care demanding more out of our health care demanding more out of our health care and stop settling for just mediocre and stop settling for just mediocre and stop settling for just mediocre answers or no answers at all so when it answers or no answers at all so when it answers or no answers at all so when it gets into the approach I've obviously gets into the approach I've obviously gets into the approach I've obviously established that the way that we look at established that the way that we look at established that the way that we look at the body the way we do things is pretty the body the way we do things is pretty the body the way we do things is pretty different so I've showed you guys the different so I've showed you guys the different so I've showed you guys the bio resonance scan the bio resonance bio resonance scan the bio resonance bio resonance scan the bio resonance scan is one of the most amazing scan is one of the most amazing scan is one of the most amazing technologies that I've ever come across technologies that I've ever come across technologies that I've ever come across I truly feel like it has transformed my I truly feel like it has transformed my I truly feel like it has transformed my practice practice practice and the beauty of the bioresonance is and the beauty of the bioresonance is and the beauty of the bioresonance is that if you embark on care with us and that if you embark on care with us and that if you embark on care with us and you come in maybe you're going through you come in maybe you're going through you come in maybe you're going through your program because you came to me with your program because you came to me with your program because you came to me with your girder your indigestion and then your girder your indigestion and then your girder your indigestion and then you know we're going through your you know we're going through your you know we're going through your healing process and something comes up healing process and something comes up healing process and something comes up you know you get sick and you you know you know you get sick and you you know you know you get sick and you you know your sinuses are bothering you when you your sinuses are bothering you when you your sinuses are bothering you when you come into the office you know if you're come into the office you know if you're come into the office you know if you're like hey you know my sinuses are really like hey you know my sinuses are really like hey you know my sinuses are really bothering me like you know do can you bothering me like you know do can you bothering me like you know do can you figure out what it is or can you tell me figure out what it is or can you tell me figure out what it is or can you tell me what to do about it in the past I used what to do about it in the past I used what to do about it in the past I used to have to be like you know what let's to have to be like you know what let's to have to be like you know what let's do a nasal swab we got to send it out do a nasal swab we got to send it out do a nasal swab we got to send it out two weeks later I get results back I get two weeks later I get results back I get two weeks later I get results back I get I have to hope that I get answers and I have to hope that I get answers and I have to hope that I get answers and then I make a recommendation based off then I make a recommendation based off then I make a recommendation based off of that when you come in now we use our of that when you come in now we use our of that when you come in now we use our bio resonance and I can scan your bio resonance and I can scan your bio resonance and I can scan your sinuses and tell you exactly what's sinuses and tell you exactly what's sinuses and tell you exactly what's going on in your sinuses and give you a going on in your sinuses and give you a going on in your sinuses and give you a solution on the spot and that is truly solution on the spot and that is truly solution on the spot and that is truly one of the most amazing things about how one of the most amazing things about how one of the most amazing things about how we do things but it's also just you we do things but it's also just you we do things but it's also just you always have answers when you use this always have answers when you use this always have answers when you use this type of approach you always understand type of approach you always understand type of approach you always understand where your body is at you always have an where your body is at you always have an where your body is at you always have an idea of what can you do to nip the idea of what can you do to nip the idea of what can you do to nip the problem right away and then when it problem right away and then when it problem right away and then when it comes to the bio resident or I'm sorry comes to the bio resident or I'm sorry comes to the bio resident or I'm sorry the bio scan the bio scan is such a the bio scan the bio scan is such a the bio scan the bio scan is such a fascinating technology because this is fascinating technology because this is fascinating technology because this is evaluating the body in such a different evaluating the body in such a different evaluating the body in such a different way the bio resonance is going to look way the bio resonance is going to look way the bio resonance is going to look down to the DNA level the bio scan is down to the DNA level the bio scan is down to the DNA level the bio scan is going to look at the meridians meridians going to look at the meridians meridians going to look at the meridians meridians is really the energy channels to your is really the energy channels to your is really the energy channels to your different organs and for those of you different organs and for those of you different organs and for those of you that are like I don't really get the that are like I don't really get the that are like I don't really get the whole energy thing so energy every time whole energy thing so energy every time whole energy thing so energy every time you meet someone and you're like ooh you meet someone and you're like ooh you meet someone and you're like ooh don't like them oh good don't like them oh good don't like them oh good I'm good on that relationship or you're I'm good on that relationship or you're I'm good on that relationship or you're like oh my gosh that person was awesome like oh my gosh that person was awesome like oh my gosh that person was awesome I can't wait to hang out with them again I can't wait to hang out with them again I can't wait to hang out with them again it's a transfer gene so we're constantly it's a transfer gene so we're constantly it's a transfer gene so we're constantly exchanging energy with every single exchanging energy with every single exchanging energy with every single person that we come in contact with and person that we come in contact with and person that we come in contact with and we're dealing with energy every time we we're dealing with energy every time we we're dealing with energy every time we have an emotional trauma we have a have an emotional trauma we have a have an emotional trauma we have a stressor so you can have an issue with stressor so you can have an issue with stressor so you can have an issue with your stomach that's causing your reflux your stomach that's causing your reflux your stomach that's causing your reflux that's based on toxicity or based on an that's based on toxicity or based on an that's based on toxicity or based on an infection or you can have an energetic infection or you can have an energetic infection or you can have an energetic Meridian problem so we're able to Meridian problem so we're able to Meridian problem so we're able to decipher between the two I'm using the decipher between the two I'm using the decipher between the two I'm using the technologies that we do technologies that we do technologies that we do and in addition we're always testing for and in addition we're always testing for and in addition we're always testing for heavy metals mineral deficiencies B heavy metals mineral deficiencies B heavy metals mineral deficiencies B vitamin deficiencies we're looking at vitamin deficiencies we're looking at vitamin deficiencies we're looking at your neurotransmitters we're running your neurotransmitters we're running your neurotransmitters we're running very very comprehensive blood work and very very comprehensive blood work and very very comprehensive blood work and then one of the other things that we're then one of the other things that we're then one of the other things that we're doing is looking at something called doing is looking at something called doing is looking at something called autonomic response testing so the autonomic response testing so the autonomic response testing so the autonomic response testing is literally autonomic response testing is literally autonomic response testing is literally such a freakin game-changer and what I such a freakin game-changer and what I such a freakin game-changer and what I mean by that is one of the things that mean by that is one of the things that mean by that is one of the things that happens is you go to an integrative or happens is you go to an integrative or happens is you go to an integrative or functional practitioner and you get a functional practitioner and you get a functional practitioner and you get a bunch of fancy testing done and you bunch of fancy testing done and you bunch of fancy testing done and you finally get clarity you're like oh my finally get clarity you're like oh my finally get clarity you're like oh my gosh I know what's wrong with me but at gosh I know what's wrong with me but at gosh I know what's wrong with me but at the end of the day you're still going to the end of the day you're still going to the end of the day you're still going to get a protocol that is based off of what get a protocol that is based off of what get a protocol that is based off of what they have seen work in the past it's not they have seen work in the past it's not they have seen work in the past it's not based off of you it's not based off of based off of you it's not based off of based off of you it's not based off of your makeup it's not based off of your your makeup it's not based off of your your makeup it's not based off of your blood type it's not based off of your blood type it's not based off of your blood type it's not based off of your DNA so the autonomic response testing is DNA so the autonomic response testing is DNA so the autonomic response testing is a type of testing that we do that tests a type of testing that we do that tests a type of testing that we do that tests for a variety of different things number for a variety of different things number for a variety of different things number one but we actually will test for what one but we actually will test for what one but we actually will test for what supplements does your body need to get supplements does your body need to get supplements does your body need to get better what types of prescriptions are better what types of prescriptions are better what types of prescriptions are you taking that are good or not doing you taking that are good or not doing you taking that are good or not doing anything at all what types of therapies anything at all what types of therapies anything at all what types of therapies are good for you do you need to detox do are good for you do you need to detox do are good for you do you need to detox do you need lymphatic drainage do you need you need lymphatic drainage do you need you need lymphatic drainage do you need some type of energetic work I don't know some type of energetic work I don't know some type of energetic work I don't know so when we use this test it is so so so when we use this test it is so so so when we use this test it is so so specific on what does your body need to specific on what does your body need to specific on what does your body need to start the healing process and this start the healing process and this start the healing process and this allows us to get results fast but it allows us to get results fast but it allows us to get results fast but it also allows you to create changes that also allows you to create changes that also allows you to create changes that are going to be sustainable which I are going to be sustainable which I are going to be sustainable which I personally think is the most important personally think is the most important personally think is the most important thing when it comes to the healing thing when it comes to the healing thing when it comes to the healing process is creating sustainability with process is creating sustainability with process is creating sustainability with your results you know the last thing you your results you know the last thing you your results you know the last thing you want to do is make all these life want to do is make all these life want to do is make all these life changes feel better and then you try to changes feel better and then you try to changes feel better and then you try to you know go back to more of a balanced you know go back to more of a balanced you know go back to more of a balanced lifestyle and you go backwards it's lifestyle and you go backwards it's lifestyle and you go backwards it's really about how can you

comes to the gut treatment is when it comes to the gut treatment is when it comes to the gut what are we working with we are working what are we working with we are working what are we working with we are working with immunosuppressants which is gonna with immunosuppressants which is gonna with immunosuppressants which is gonna shut down your immune system if you're shut down your immune system if you're shut down your immune system if you're dealing with an autoimmune condition we dealing with an autoimmune condition we dealing with an autoimmune condition we have antibiotics if you have chronic have antibiotics if you have chronic have antibiotics if you have chronic diarrhea and nobody can really figure diarrhea and nobody can really figure diarrhea and nobody can really figure out why we have our antacids our proton out why we have our antacids our proton out why we have our antacids our proton pump inhibitors that are gonna block the pump inhibitors that are gonna block the pump inhibitors that are gonna block the acid when we get our reflux in our acid when we get our reflux in our acid when we get our reflux in our indigestion and then we also have indigestion and then we also have indigestion and then we also have surgery when it gets bad enough that the surgery when it gets bad enough that the surgery when it gets bad enough that the medications aren't working and at the medications aren't working and at the medications aren't working and at the end of the day all this is doing is end of the day all this is doing is end of the day all this is doing is masking our symptoms and then secondary masking our symptoms and then secondary masking our symptoms and then secondary to that is we can go the natural route to that is we can go the natural route to that is we can go the natural route and we can use herbs and vitamins the and we can use herbs and vitamins the and we can use herbs and vitamins the same way we can just use them to same way we can just use them to same way we can just use them to decrease the indigestion we can use them decrease the indigestion we can use them decrease the indigestion we can use them to you know ease our digestive tract and to you know ease our digestive tract and to you know ease our digestive tract and we can cut out every food that we we can cut out every food that we we can cut out every food that we suspect is bad for us but what about the suspect is bad for us but what about the suspect is bad for us but what about the specifics specificity behind that what specifics specificity behind that what specifics specificity behind that what about fixing the root cause what about about fixing the root cause what about about fixing the root cause what about the things that you need to do to the things that you need to do to the things that you need to do to sustain your progress so it's important sustain your progress so it's important sustain your progress so it's important to not just use the same approach that to not just use the same approach that to not just use the same approach that we use conventionally and by using we use conventionally and by using we use conventionally and by using natural products we want to actually use natural products we want to actually use natural products we want to actually use natural products to get to the root natural products to get to the root natural products to get to the root cause cause cause opposed to just using them to palliate opposed to just using them to palliate opposed to just using them to palliate the symptoms so when it comes to the the symptoms so when it comes to the the symptoms so when it comes to the testing that we do I personally think testing that we do I personally think testing that we do I personally think that there is I personally don't even that there is I personally don't even that there is I personally don't even think you can put a value on the testing think you can put a value on the testing think you can put a value on the testing but I did my best here because when but I did my best here because when but I did my best here because when you're dealing with a specific symptoms you're dealing with a specific symptoms you're dealing with a specific symptoms so like as an example if you're the so like as an example if you're the so like as an example if you're the person that you have no idea what to eat person that you have no idea what to eat person that you have no idea what to eat because everything is making you sick because everything is making you sick because everything is making you sick that just learning what to eat would be that just learning what to eat would be that just learning what to eat would be priceless to you if you're someone who's priceless to you if you're someone who's priceless to you if you're someone who's been suffering with GERD and indigestion been suffering with GERD and indigestion been suffering with GERD and indigestion so bad that you have to sleep sitting up so bad that you have to sleep sitting up so bad that you have to sleep sitting up you figuring out how to fix that is you figuring out how to fix that is you figuring out how to fix that is going to be priceless to you so putting going to be priceless to you so putting going to be priceless to you so putting a number on these different tasks and a number on these different tasks and a number on these different tasks and the clarity you can get is really really the clarity you can get is really really the clarity you can get is really really a tough thing because depending on your a tough thing because depending on your a tough thing because depending on your goals and potentially the results you goals and potentially the results you goals and potentially the results you can get is priceless so for those of you can get is priceless so for those of you can get is priceless so for those of you wondering how much does it cost to wondering how much does it cost to wondering how much does it cost to figure all of this out figure all of this out figure all of this out the the total for our entire onboarding the the total for our entire onboarding the the total for our entire onboarding process which encompasses all of these process which encompasses all of these process which encompasses all of these tests that I'm talking about and it tests that I'm talking about and it tests that I'm talking about and it includes three hours with the doctor includes three hours with the doctor includes three hours with the doctor myself included this is 1425 so for myself included this is 1425 so for myself included this is 1425 so for those of you that might be a lot of those of you that might be a lot of those of you that might be a lot of money totally get that money totally get that money totally get that but I will let you know that there are a but I will let you know that there are a but I will let you know that there are a lot of functional integrative practices lot of functional integrative practices lot of functional integrative practices that are having you come in for your that are having you come in for your that are having you come in for your initial consultation maybe that's $200 initial consultation maybe that's $200 initial consultation maybe that's $200 maybe it's $300 maybe it's more but you maybe it's $300 maybe it's more but you maybe it's $300 maybe it's more but you will have to complete a variety of will have to complete a variety of will have to complete a variety of different tests that will wrap up different tests that will wrap up different tests that will wrap up between two up to five thousand dollars between two up to five thousand dollars between two up to five thousand dollars depending on what they're testing so you depending on what they're testing so you depending on what they're testing so you can easily be about five thousand can easily be about five thousand can easily be about five thousand dollars in the hole before you even know dollars in the hole before you even know dollars in the hole before you even know what's wrong with you so I think it's what's wrong with you so I think it's what's wrong with you so I think it's important to just kind of weigh out what important to just kind of weigh out what important to just kind of weigh out what the options are because the amount of the options are because the amount of the options are because the amount of information and clarity you are able to information and clarity you are able to information and clarity you are able to get under this onboarding price is get under this onboarding price is get under this onboarding price is massive and if you do decide that you massive and if you do decide that you massive and if you do decide that you wanted a family member to join they wanted a family member to join they wanted a family member to join they would actually reduce the 14:25 down to would actually reduce the 14:25 down to would actually reduce the 14:25 down to 597 but most importantly for you to 597 but most importantly for you to 597 but most importantly for you to understand is we want to make sure that understand is we

you're at going to meet you for where you're at and make sure that we're giving you and make sure that we're giving you and make sure that we're giving you everything that you need if you're long everything that you need if you're long everything that you need if you're long distance ed this earlier but distance ed this earlier but distance ed this earlier but don't worry about that because because don't worry about that because because don't worry about that because because of a lot of our testing being DNA based of a lot of our testing being DNA based of a lot of our testing being DNA based we can actually do our testing from a we can actually do our testing from a we can actually do our testing from a distance reason being is because your distance reason being is because your distance reason being is because your hair contains DNA so when we work with hair contains DNA so when we work with hair contains DNA so when we work with people from a distance we actually will people from a distance we actually will people from a distance we actually will take a sample of their hair you'll have take a sample of their hair you'll have take a sample of their hair you'll have to send it out to us and we can do the to send it out to us and we can do the to send it out to us and we can do the majority of our test from a distance majority of our test from a distance majority

eliminate definitely don't um don't eliminate yourself from working with us if you are yourself from working with us if you are yourself from working with us if you are from afar and then if you decide that from afar and then if you decide that from afar and then if you decide that you really want to explore our approach you really want to explore our approach you really want to explore our approach to the healing process to the healing process to the healing process we do offer immersion week so you're we do offer immersion week so you're we do offer immersion week so you're able to actually come to our facility able to actually come to our facility able to actually come to our facility either for a long weekend a week or even either for a long weekend a week or even either for a long weekend a week or even up to two weeks the only people that up to two weeks the only people that up to two weeks the only people that come for two weeks are our neurological come for two weeks are our neurological come for two weeks are our neurological cases because we do work with a lot of cases because we do work with a lot of cases because we do work with a lot of very serious neurological conditions very serious neurological conditions very serious neurological conditions will actually be talking more about that will actually be talking more about that will actually be talking more about that next month in February when we kick off next month in February when we kick off next month in February when we kick off our brain series with our webinars so our brain series with our webinars so our brain series with our webinars so again we work with people from all over again we work with people from all over again we work with people from all over the world so definitely you could still the world so definitely you could still the world so definitely you could still reach out to us and embark on the reach out to us and embark on the reach out to us and embark on the onboarding process so I want to take onboarding process so I want to take onboarding process so I want to take some questions I'm gonna take a peek to some questions I'm gonna take a peek to some questions I'm gonna take a peek to see if you guys have some questions all see if you guys have some questions all see if you guys have some questions all right how does the vagus nerve cause right how does the vagus nerve cause right how does the vagus nerve cause dizziness and overactive gag reflex so dizziness and overactive gag reflex so dizziness and overactive gag reflex so so when you're dealing with the vagus so when you're dealing with the vagus so when you're dealing with the vagus nerve the vagus nerve stems from the nerve the vagus nerve stems from the nerve the vagus nerve stems from the brainstem the brainstem is also where brainstem the brainstem is also where brainstem the brainstem is also where there are many other cranial nerves that there are many other cranial nerves that there are many other cranial nerves that exist but when you're dealing with the exist but when you're dealing with the exist but when you're dealing with the vagus nerve the vagus nerve is going to vagus nerve the vagus nerve is going to vagus nerve the vagus nerve is going to innervate most of your gastrointestinal innervate most of your gastrointestinal innervate most of your gastrointestinal system and it also is going to innervate system and it also is going to innervate system and it also is going to innervate your adrenal glands and many other your adrenal glands and many other your adrenal glands and many other organs so primarily what can happen is organs so primarily what can happen is organs so primarily what can happen is when your vagus nerve dysfunctions you when your vagus nerve dysfunctions you when your vagus nerve dysfunctions you can have a variety of different symptoms can have a variety of different symptoms can have a variety of different symptoms one of them being dizziness and it can one of them being dizziness and it can one of them being dizziness and it can be even as extreme as pot syndrome pot be even as extreme as pot syndrome pot be even as extreme as pot syndrome pot syndrome is when they say that your syndrome is when they say that your syndrome is when they say that your autonomic nervous system is autonomic nervous system is autonomic nervous system is dysfunctioning and causing you to be dysfunctioning and causing you to be dysfunctioning and causing you to be very dizzy and lightheaded some people very dizzy and lightheaded some people very dizzy and lightheaded some people are as extreme as they can't even be in are as extreme as they can't even be in are as extreme as they can't even be in a upright position because the dizziness a upright position because the dizziness a upright position because the dizziness is that is that is that bad so your vagus nerve controls a lot bad so your vagus nerve controls a lot bad so your vagus nerve controls a lot of different things but it plays a very of different things but it plays a very of different things but it plays a very very significant role in your autonomic very significant role in your autonomic very significant role in your autonomic nervous system which the gag reflex your nervous system which the gag reflex your nervous system which the gag reflex your rest and digest is part of that and also rest and digest is part of that and also rest and digest is part of that and also your blood pressure is part of that your blood pressure is part of that your blood pressure is part of that hence the dizziness I have somebody else hence the dizziness I have somebody else hence the dizziness I have somebody else who I guess missed more so made a who I guess missed more so made a who I guess missed more so made a comment is about a bad taste in their comment is about a bad taste in their comment is about a bad taste in their mouth even after I'm getting cleared by mouth even after I'm getting cleared by mouth even after I'm getting cleared by the dentist and then the doctor put her the dentist and then the doctor put her the dentist and then the doctor put her on prilosec so when you're dealing with on prilosec so when you're dealing with on prilosec so when you're dealing with the dentist there are different types of the dentist there are different types of the dentist there are different types of dentists out there one of the dentists dentists out there one of the dentists dentists out there one of the dentists that you can seek out is a holistic that you can seek out is a holistic that you can seek out is a holistic dentist there's actually a holistic dentist there's actually a holistic dentist there's actually

some of the plaque they also scrape off some of the plaque they also scrape off some of the plaque and they put it under a microscope the and they put it under a microscope the and they put it under a microscope the dentist that I specifically went to in dentist that I specifically went to in dentist that I specifically went to in Millburn which is called the holistic Millburn which is called the holistic Millburn which is called the holistic dental Center in New Jersey they dental Center in New Jersey they dental Center in New Jersey they actually put it under the microscope in actually put it under the microscope in actually put it under the microscope in front of me it was actually pretty front of me it was actually pretty front of me it was actually pretty creepy because you could see all of the creepy because you could see all of the creepy because you could see all of the organisms that are residing in your organisms that are residing in your organisms that are residing in your mouth and from there they actually give mouth and from there they actually give mouth and from there they actually give you natural approaches to deal with that you natural approaches to deal with that you natural approaches to deal with that but one of the things that a lot of the but one of the things that a lot of the but one of the things that a lot of the holistic dentists are doing is
