Hi!
Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, you will learn something new in this video, ‘Disease Begins in the Gut: Surprising Practitioner Insights.’ You’ll likely walk away with pages of notes and key insights you can use in your practice right away.
Here is some of what we covered:
- Hard to pronounce, but ubiquitous. It also plays a huge role in promoting systemic inflammation via the gut alone And via the gut-brain axis.
- This one diet-related dynamic is a gateway to mood imbalances, pain (especially in the joints), and so much more.
- Leaky gut: you know about it. But do you know about its ability to cause havoc all over the body?
- You are what you eat! Nope, it’s not that simple. These partners in crime in the GI tract hamper the supply of adequate nutrition.
- NSAID, OCP, PPI, and more, oh my?! Disease begins in the Rx in the gut.
- So many are still focused on a kill-the-intruder approach with infectious threats. Don’t miss the forest for the trees.
- This “lowly” substance should always be front and center. And no, its storage depot in the body is not optional!
- The place where disease can begin in the gut that is perhaps most often overlooked? And even sometimes considered “out of scope” for medicine?
- Crossroads of metabolic and gastrointestinal distress: the pancreatic dysfunction that is often unrecognized.

I loved this gut-centric overview of functional medicine interconnectedness. I particularly enjoyed the reminder of systemic LPS exposure (from EIP from a variety of factors including histamine overload) leading to increased BBB permeability and neuropsychiatric symptoms- reminding us of the importance of re-establishing gut barrier function and always looking for root causes of dis-ease in the gut. Thank you!

What about consuming fermented food …is it problematic because it is high in histamine?-
7.1
Yes, it could be problematic when someone has issues with histamine regulation/metabolism and/or gut microbial imbalances such as SIBO.

Cheryl Wooster says:
Fermented foods are high in histamines. However, this is only problematic if histamine clearance/histamine overload is an issue. Fermented foods will not be problematic for most people.

As ever a clear and really useful presentation – I was interested to hear about the less known effects of histamine overload. Thank you!

I took away the possible root causes of gall bladder disease. The reversal of these root causes most likely metabolic syndrome, fatty liver is possible and cholecystectomy prevented.
Thank you. -

Amanda Thornton says:
Bile is so underrated – link with estrogen and bile. How could bilharzia affect bile downstream? Love your analogy of the stomach being used as a coin slot for medication .

Tracy, I absolutely love your picturesque expressions, they liven the tone of what you say but at the same time make it all so much clearer and precise. What will stick in my mind is the idea of the coin slot and using the mouth and the gut to administer sometimes life saving meds without considering the deleterious effect on the site of entry. 💥

So interesting the long term effects of different medications on downstream body systems. As a skin care therapist, I see so many clients taking long term antibiotics for very minor skin conditions that could have been addressed in more holistic ways but the quick fix was the lure. They are now setting themselves up for further problems in the long run
