The Truth About Antacids & Your Gut Health

Struggling with bloating, acid reflux, brain fog, fatigue, or chronic pain?

You might think popping an antacid is helping… but here’s the truth 👇

➡️ Antacids neutralize stomach acid, but your body needs that acid to digest food and protect you from harmful microbes.
➡️ When acid is suppressed, it creates the perfect environment for superbugs like C. diff to thrive.
➡️ C. diff and other opportunistic bacteria can take over, leading to gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and serious downstream issues — not just in your gut, but your brain, mood, immune system, and energy levels too.

💡 So what’s the answer? Stop chasing symptoms.

The OAT (Organic Acids Test) is a comprehensive lab that reveals:

✔️ Yeast & bacterial overgrowth (like C. diff)
✔️ Mitochondrial health (aka your energy production)
✔️ Neurotransmitter imbalances
✔️ Detox + antioxidant status
✔️ Vitamin + nutrient deficiencies
✔️ Markers of inflammation + gut dysfunction

Instead of masking symptoms with a pill, this test helps us build a targeted, personalized plan to get to the root cause.

Ever wonder what happens when you drink hydrogen-rich water? It works fast — within minutes, molecular hydrogen is absorbed into your bloodstream and begins neutralizing the most toxic free radicals in your body. It supports cellular energy, reduces oxidative stress, and helps balance inflammation without disrupting the beneficial processes your body relies on.

Studies show it can enhance mental clarity, muscle recovery, and even improve gut and metabolic function with consistent use.

NOW OFFERING a GLP-1 that is both SAFE and EFFECTIVE! And it is 30% off through midnight tonight.

Unlock the potential of your metabolism and support healthy weight management with the GLP-1 Tone™ System. This comprehensive protocol combines the benefits of GLP-1 Tone™ and GLP-1 A+ Probiotic, delivering natural support for metabolism, appetite control, gut health, and blood sugar metabolism. Together, these two formulas offer a powerful approach to optimizing GLP-1 production and improving your overall metabolic wellness in a done-for-you protocol.

✅ Supports a healthy metabolism

✅ Aids in appetite control

✅ May help reduce cravings

✅ Enhances insulin sensitivity

✅ Promotes gut health

✅ Boosts antioxidant levels

✅ Helps maintain healthy blood sugar

Metabolism Support for Weight Success
Supporting a strong metabolism and achieving healthy weight management can be difficult due to a combination of diet, lifestyle, and underlying health factors. Modern-day habits such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and high levels of stress contribute to imbalanced blood sugar, ineffective appetite control, and poor gut health—all of which can hinder metabolic function. While synthetic products have gained popularity for regulating blood sugar and controlling appetite, they often come with side effects that may negatively impact long-term digestive health and overall wellness.

The GLP-1 Tone System was designed to address this, by offering a natural approach to metabolic support through GLP-1 Tone™ and GLP-1 A+ Probiotic. Together, they target the root causes of poor metabolic function, including insulin sensitivity, appetite control, and digestive health, without the potential risk of synthetic side effects.

Denise’s Wellness Journey: Supporting Her Body Through Cancer (and critically low platelets) with the Superhuman Protocol and Hydrogen Water 🌿

Denise is currently navigating one of the most challenging experiences of her life — a cancer diagnosis. In addition to working closely with her medical team, she’s chosen to support her body through integrative wellness tools that help her feel more energized, balanced, and resilient at a cellular level.

As part of her self-care routine, Denise uses the Superhuman Protocol, which includes:

✅ Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy – to support circulation by increasing oxygen transport up to 950%, charge her cells, and alkaline her blood.
✅ Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) – to help improve endurance and oxygenation
✅ Red Light Therapy – used to create ATP (the fuel source of the mitochondria) to allow her cells to start fighting back.

She also incorporates hydrogen-rich water into her daily hydration to help promote antioxidant support, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, while further supporting her mitochondria.

These tools are not treatments for cancer — but they are part of how Denise chooses to restore her health as she moves through this journey.

Her story is one of strength, hope, and commitment to whole-body well-being.

🧬 New Study Reveals Gut Bacteria May Trigger Multiple Sclerosis 🧬

A groundbreaking twin study led by scientists at LMU Munich and published in PNAS (April 2025) provides the most compelling evidence yet that specific gut bacteria might trigger Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

🔍 How the Study Was Conducted Twin Cohort
The researchers examined 81 pairs of genetically identical (monozygotic) twins, where one twin has MS and the other is healthy—a design that naturally minimizes genetic and early-life environmental differences
neurosciencenews.com

Gut Sampling
They collected both stool and small intestinal (ileum) samples. While stool offers a broad view of gut flora, the ileum is where immune–microbial interactions are most likely to occur .

Transplant into Mice
The team transferred gut microbes from twins into germ-free transgenic mice predisposed to MS-like disease (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, or EAE). Only mice colonized with microbes from MS-affected twins developed EAE

⚠️ Culprit Bacteria Identified
Two low-abundance species from the Lachnospiraceae family emerged as key suspects:

Lachnoclostridium sp.
Eisenbergiella tayi

These microbes were consistently found in the ileum samples of MS-affected twins and in the diseased mice, suggesting they may actively drive neuroinflammatory processes

🤔 Why It Matters
Functional Proof: This is the first functional demonstration—via a mouse model—that specific bacteria can initiate MS-like disease.

Therapeutic Potential: If these microbes are confirmed as disease drivers, targeted interventions (e.g. probiotics, antibiotics, dietary changes) could emerge as new MS treatment or prevention strategies .

If you or a loved one struggles with MS, grab the OAT lab to see what bacterias you have growing in your gut. A $399 investment in your health. We can work with you from anywhere...440-731-0561.

You don’t need another prescription. You need real answers—starting with the right labs.

If you're sick of going from doctor to doctor and hearing, "Your labs look fine," but you know your body isn’t…
You're not crazy. You're just not being tested thoroughly.

At Root Cause Integrative Wellness, we believe in real answers—not guesswork. That's why we use Functional Medicine Lab Testing to identify the true underlying causes of your symptoms.

It starts with the Big 5 Labs—comprehensive tests that give us a full view of your health, including gut function, stress response, metabolism, nutrient status, and toxic load.

Here’s how it works:

🧠 1. Organic Acids Test (OAT)
If you struggle with:
• Bloating or gut issues
• Brain fog
• Mood swings or anxiety
• Stiff joints
• Skin issues or acne
• Acid reflux or candida overgrowth

👉 You may be dealing with gut dysbiosis, candida, neurotransmitter imbalances, or mitochondrial dysfunction. The OAT test gives us over 70 markers to pinpoint what’s off.

⚡ 2. Minerals & Metals Test (HTMA)
If you feel:
• Fatigued or low energy
• Headachy or wired-but-tired
• Like your nervous system is overloaded
• Sensitive to chemicals
• Concerned about heavy metal exposure (lead, mercury, etc.)

👉 The HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) helps uncover mineral deficiencies and heavy metal toxicity that can disrupt your entire system—including your thyroid and adrenals.

🛡 3. Food Sensitivity Test
This test helps identify delayed food reactions that cause:
• Inflammation
• Sinus congestion
• Joint pain
• IBS symptoms
• Acne, eczema, and even fatigue

Unlike allergies, food sensitivities are sneaky. This test helps you eliminate hidden triggers with precision.

🔥 4. Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test
If you deal with:
• Hormone imbalances (PMS, PCOS, low libido)
• Hot flashes or night sweats
• Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
• Weight gain or blood sugar issues
• Low energy or mood swings

👉 This saliva-based test reveals your adrenal function (cortisol), female/male hormones, and thyroid performance—three systems that must work together for true balance.
🧬 5. Gene Mutation Lab (Methylation + Detox Pathways)
If you struggle with:
• Anxiety or depression
• Fatigue that doesn’t go away
• Brain fog or memory issues
• Difficulty detoxing (sensitive to smells, alcohol, or meds)
• Hormone imbalances
• History of miscarriages or infertility

👉 This lab helps uncover genetic mutations (like MTHFR, COMT, and others) that impact your body’s ability to methylate, detox, and process B vitamins and hormones.
Methylation is involved in over 200 processes in the body, and when it's impaired, symptoms can show up in every system—from mood and hormones to energy and immune health.

🧬 Want to know which labs are right for you?
Let’s personalize your path. Feel free to call (440)731-0561 or DM us with your symptoms, and we’ll recommend the best place to start.

👉 No more guessing. Just clarity.

Liver Enzymes Over 6X Higher than my normal range ‼️ — What I Did to Turn It Around

At the beginning of the year, I felt off — sluggish, drained, and just not myself. I asked my doctor to run some labs to get a better picture of what was happening internally. Everything came back normal except my ALT liver enzymes. Typically, mine sit around 10–13, but this time they were significantly elevated.

What really concerned me was knowing that two of my clients with liver cancer had ALT markers only in the 20s. Mine were even higher at 73 — which was a huge red flag 🚩.

My doctor ordered an ultrasound, which came back completely normal. She couldn’t explain what was going on and suggested we retest in two months.

In the meantime, I decided to become my own test subject. The only thing I changed? My water 💦. I started drinking medical-grade ionized reduced hydrogen water daily.

Six weeks later, I repeated my labs — and my ALT had dropped by over 40 units. I’m now trending in the right direction and nearly back in the normal range.

This water supports cellular function on a profound level — and these results are proof. If you are ready to try this medical grade water shoot me a message...One small change can change your life!

If you are in the Cleveland-area, we have hydrogen water memberships for as little as $99/month. Call to learn more 440-731-0561
