SIBO continues to be one of the most challenging conditions to treat. Treatment efficacy is often quite low and recurrence rates are high. In this podcast, I’ll discuss the questions I think still need to be answered about SIBO diagnosis and treatment—and maybe challenge a few “truths” in the process.

RHR: Three Reasons Why Conventional Healthcare Is Destined to Fail
Healthcare continues to be a fevered debate between Republicans and Democrats. The problem is that throughout this debate neither the politicians nor the media are acknowledging the real reasons that healthcare in this country is floundering. The three reasons that our current system is destined to fail are 1) our modern diet and lifestyle are out of alignment with our genes and our biology, 2) our current system is not well-suited to tackle chronic disease, and 3) our model for delivering care doesn’t support the interventions that would have the biggest impact on preventing and reversing chronic disease.

RHR: Are High-Fat Diets Bad for the Microbiome?
Those in the Paleo and ancestral health communities have a tendency to follow high-fat, low-carb diets. After all, when you cut out grains, you naturally cut out a lot of carbs.

Environmental factors, like diet, do play a role—despite what conventional medicine might say. Today we’ll discuss what the latest research says about the underlying causes of both ADHD and ASD and what areas to investigate if you or a loved one has been diagnosed.
RHR: The Myth of Adrenal Fatigue
Does adrenal fatigue really exist? Is it an accurate representation of stress-related pathology? Do the adrenal glands really become drained and unable to produce cortisol? Today I’ll discuss the current scientific evidence behind what happens to us when we experience chronic stress and propose that a much more accurate term for this would be HPA axis dysfunction.
