If you’re struggling with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), you know how challenging these conditions can be to treat. The complex web of symptoms—abdominal pain, bloating, irregular bowel movements, and more—can significantly impact your quality of life. Studies show that IBS affects up to 15% of the global population, making it one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide [1]. When I first started my practice, I prescribed standard probiotics to my patients with IBS and SIBO, just like most clinicians. But I noticed something concerning: these patients not only didn’t improve—they often got worse. This observation sent me down a path of extensive research and clinical trial and error, ultimately leading me to discover that Bacillus coagulans was consistently the...

Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. Historically, female hormones have really only been a concern for the medical establishment, at least in women who are menstruating, and particularly for fertility and pregnancy, and maybe the postnatal period. Once a woman is through that phase of life, hormones are not part of the discussion in mainstream medicine.  That has changed a little bit over the past couple of decades. There was certainly interest...

Boost Your Brain Power: The Science Behind Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba, often simply called “ginkgo,” is one of the oldest living tree species on Earth, dating back over 200 million years. This ancient plant has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, particularly in China, where its leaves and seeds have long been valued for their healing properties. Recent statistics suggest that one in three Americans will experience cognitive decline by age 70. Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death, and the number of cases is rising each year. Sadly, conventional treatments for dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive disorders are ineffective and often have significant adverse effects. Fortunately, several natural compounds have shown promise in protecting the brain and preventing cognitive decline as we age. Ginkgo biloba is one of the most promising candidates....

The Heme Iron Debate: Separating Fact from Fiction

For decades, red meat has been at the center of a contentious debate in nutrition and health. On one side, we have those who claim it’s an essential source of high-quality protein and nutrients. On the other, critics argue that it’s a major contributor to chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease. Initially, these concerns focused on red meat’s cholesterol and saturated fat content. However, as the case against dietary cholesterol and saturated fat has weakened, researchers and advocates of plant-based diets have shifted their focus to a new proposed culprit: heme iron. This form of iron, found predominantly in animal foods and especially abundant in red meat, has become the latest mechanism proposed to explain the purported health risks of red meat consumption. But what’s the...
