Saturday Jul 03, 2021
Dr. Prather begins the show with a COVID-19 update that reveals the BIGGEST risk factor for the virus that no one is talking about. Then, our show focuses on the source of 80% of all disease—the gut. In this episode, you'll learn:
—How there is "very little risk" of the virus for those under the age of 50.
—The two risk factors that lead to COVID-19 hospitalization: age and obesity. And why Dr. Prather calls the data "very startling" that connects obesity to higher COVID-19 risk, especially among young people.
—Why there have likely been more deaths from the lockdowns than from the COVID-19 virus. And who is at more risk from the vaccination than from the virus.
—The fascinating difference in bacteria throughout each area of the digestive system and why it is important to have the right bacteria in each area for optimal health.
—The symptoms of SIBO: bloating, abdominal distention, pain, discomfort, diarrhea, constipation, fatigue, and weakness.
—How "everyone" who has a hypothyroid has SIBO. And the many causes of SIBO, including: prescription drugs, endocrine balance, surgeries, and gallbladder issues.
—Why Dr. Prather includes a stool kit as one of his standard lab tests on patients, at least on an annual basis.
—The difference between SIBO and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). And how one can lead to the other.
—How antibiotics are the normal course of treatment for SIBO, but the SIBO will come right back "100% of the time". And how the Structure-Function Care that Dr. Prather practices is "the only way" to successfully treat SIBO.
—Why fiber supplementation, probiotics, and probiotics are essential for treating SIBO. And why gut health is important to analyze from babies with colic to elderly people with dementia.
