New research shows that a long-term low FODMAP diet can be used effectively for IBS. This is huge as there have been many theoretical concerns about using a low FODMAP diet long-term, such as negative impacts to the gut microbiota, nutrition levels, and quality of life. 

However, we'll cover each common criticism and answer them with science.

-My bloating and constipation are slowly getting better with your protocol, but are not resolved. What else can I do? 

-I have eczema, rosacea, and loose stool. I was wondering if my skin symptoms could be caused by a gut imbalance?

A Herxheimer reaction (aka die-off) is essentially when a new protocol makes you feel worse before you start to feel better. 

This often gets confused with intolerance, which makes sense when gauging how a new protocol makes you feel. But to make sure you aren't jumping ship on a protocol that may actually be working for you, it's important to learn how to recognize the difference between die-off and intolerance. 

Join me to learn how to best navigate Herxheimer symptoms and what you can do to manage them.

Dr. Bianco recently published the book, Rethinking Hypothyroidism: Why Treatment Must Change and What Patients Can Do. 

Today I'll be speaking to Dr. Bianco, whom I deeply respect,  about his approach to thyroid health—and mine. 

While we already had a lot of overlap in our approaches,  I walked away with new, incredible insights on hypothyroidism. 

I think you'll feel the same way.

Dr. Bianco received his MD from Santa Casa Medical School and a PhD in human physiology at the University of Sao Paulo, in Brazil. He's the former president of the American Thyroid Association (2015-2016) and author of the book "Rethinking Hypothyroidism" . 

Currently, he's a Professor of Medicine at University of Chicago in the research unit called the Committee on Molecular Metabolism and Nutrition which focuses on thyroid hormone metabolism, more specifically, how certain enzymes called deiodinases control thyroid hormone action & metabolism. This research forms the basis for his understanding of the variable response to thyroid hormone replacement among individuals. 

He has been published in over 200 peer reviewed papers.

Maintaining good gut health for kids and teens is crucially important to overall health. 

Today my guest, Dr. Elisa Song, explains how the developing gut impacts other body systems that are also in development like: 

-Immunity

-The brain

That means that however we support (or don't) kids' gut health may have profound effects on their current and future health.  

Please join us for a fascinating conversation about the significance of good gut health for infants, children, and teens.

Are your probiotic side effects a positive sign, or should you make a modification? 

It's all too common that when people take a probiotic and experience some kind of side effect, they take it to mean that probiotics aren't right for them. And that's understandable.

But more often than not, these side effects can be signaling something good (that they're going to work in your gut) or simply that a small adjustment needs to be made. 

Here's how to know which side effects mean what.
