This hidden gut infection might be why you’re always tired — and no one’s told you.

I’ve seen so many patients come in saying the same thing:
'I’m eating healthy, working out, doing everything right… but I still feel awful.'

When we dig deeper, we often find H. pylori — a bacteria hiding in the stomach that quietly drives fatigue, reflux, and bloating.

Here’s the problem:

most traditional care stops at lowering symptoms, but never checks why your digestion or energy crashed in the first place.

When H. pylori lowers your stomach acid, your body can’t absorb nutrients or fight inflammation — and you pay the price in fatigue, brain fog, and gut issues.

What’s one symptom you’ve been told is “just stress” that never actually went away?

🥚 Eggs aren’t the enemy.

Your doctor said cut them out, right?
Or take a statin to lower cholesterol?
Here’s the truth: neither one fixes it.

Cholesterol is your body’s repair material.
Like bondo patching rust on an old Corvette.
When it’s high, it means damage is happening.

Statins only change the number on paper.
But the inflammation is still breaking you down.
That’s why numbers drop, yet heart attacks rise.

The answer isn’t chasing cholesterol down.
It’s finding the hidden causes of inflammation.
Stress, seed oils, poor sleep, silent infections.

Brain fog? It’s not your brain’s fault — it’s your gut.

Here’s the truth:

your gut and brain are constantly talking through the vagus nerve. When the gut is inflamed, that signal doesn’t stop there — it travels to your brain.

That’s why brain fog often shows up with bloating, constipation, or stomach pain.

For years, people have tried to fix brain fog with caffeine or supplements. But that only masks the symptoms.

The real fix? Heal your gut first. Because until your gut is healthy, your brain will stay stuck in “low power mode.”

Have you noticed your gut and brain fog flaring up at the same time?

I can’t tell you how many patients come to me saying: “My doctor says my labs are normal… but I feel like a mess.”

Here’s the truth:
Most hormone tests are nearly useless.

Why?

Because doctors usually order a single blood test — and often on the wrong day of your cycle. That’s like watching just Timon & Pumbaa and assuming you know the whole Lion King story.

Your hormones shift daily. And when we don’t see the bigger picture, women get told they’re “fine” when they’re clearly not.

Here’s what actually works:

- DUTCH testing (urine-based, tracks your hormone patterns over time).

- Looking at how your body processes hormones — not just “how much.”

- Testing at the right time (luteal phase for cycling women).

Stop settling for “normal” results that don’t match how you feel. You deserve answers that uncover the root cause.

If you’re still constipated no matter how much fiber you eat… you’re probably making one of these 5 mistakes.

When I first started in practice, I saw patient after patient frustrated because “eat more fiber and drink more water” wasn’t working.

The truth? If your gut isn’t functioning properly, that advice can actually make constipation worse.

Here are the top 5 mistakes I see every day:

- Too much raw fiber → inflames the gut
- Ignoring low stomach acid → slows digestion
- Taking the wrong magnesium (oxide) → harsh and ineffective
- Skipping fats → no bile, no movement
- Ignoring gut bacteria → poor motility

The solution isn’t about doing more… it’s about doing it right. Small root-cause changes can transform your digestion and finally bring relief.

Which mistake do you think you’re making right now?

I used to believe diet soda was the “better choice.” I was wrong.

Here’s what actually happens: when you drink diet soda, your brain tastes “sweet” and signals insulin release—only to find out there’s no sugar.

Over time, this mismatch creates insulin resistance… which means weight gain, cravings, and a slower metabolism.

Honestly, I’d rather you drink regular soda (with real sugar) than keep your body trapped in this hormonal cycle.

But the real solution? Cut soda altogether.

Switch to sparkling water or herbal teas—your metabolism and energy will thank you.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of cravings, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain, it might not be your fault.

Be honest — are you team diet soda, regular soda, or have you already ditched both?

Let’s get to the root cause.

I’ll let you in on a secret: starving yourself only makes belly fat worse.
I see it all the time in clinic — patients eating less, working harder, but their belly fat just won’t budge.

The truth?

Belly fat isn’t about calories. It’s about hormones and inflammation. Here’s what actually works:

- Eat enough protein (30g per meal) to speed up metabolism.

- Take a 10-minute walk after meals to lower blood sugar.

- Stop eating 3 hours before bed to keep your fat-burning window open.

Belly fat doesn’t need punishment — it needs a strategy.

Be honest — do you struggle more with protein, walking, or late-night snacking?

Are you always cold while everyone else is perfectly fine?

Most people blame the thyroid — and yes, it plays a role — but I’ve seen two other root causes overlooked again and again in my clinic:

You’re not eating enough protein and fat. Your body needs fuel to generate heat. Smoothies, salads, and snack bars won’t cut it.

Your iron is low. Without oxygen delivery, your body slows down and you freeze from the inside out.

Here’s the truth: your body isn’t cold “just because.” There’s always a reason. And once you fix the root cause, your energy improves, your metabolism fires up, and you stop needing sweaters in July.

Which do you think applies to you more — low protein or low iron?

I can’t tell you how many patients come to me saying: 'My labs are normal, but I still feel terrible.'

Here’s the truth: standard labs are designed to detect disease, not to measure how your body is actually functioning. That’s why I run three often-overlooked labs in my clinic:

1️⃣ Total protein – reveals low stomach acid and poor nutrient absorption.

2️⃣ C-reactive protein – shows inflammation and how quickly your cells are aging.

3️⃣ White blood cells – uncovers hidden or long-standing infections.

If these markers are off, you can experience IBS, bloating, brain fog, fatigue, or faster aging—even when your 'normal' labs say otherwise.

Have you ever wondered if your 'normal' labs were missing something important?

Your body isn’t lying. If you’re tired of being told 'everything looks fine,' let’s dig deeper and get to the root cause of your health struggles.

If you have PCOS and irregular periods, here’s the truth most doctors won’t tell you…

PCOS isn’t just 'bad luck' or something you need to push through. It’s often rooted in insulin resistance, which is why many experts now call it 'Type 3 diabetes.'

In my clinic, here’s what works:

Step 1: Cut refined flour + sugar (bread, pasta, sweetened yogurts, cereals).
Step 2: Pair every meal with protein + healthy fats (chicken + avocado, eggs + coconut oil).
Step 3: Walk 10 minutes after meals to stabilize blood sugar.

When you control blood sugar, you control hormones. PCOS doesn’t improve with willpower — it improves with strategy.

What’s one lifestyle change that’s helped you most with PCOS or hormone balance?

If you’re struggling with PCOS....

Most protein bars are junk. Yes — even the ones labeled 'healthy.'

When patients tell me they’re 'snacking smart,'
I often see a protein bar in their hand. But
here’s the catch: many of these bars are
nothing more than candy wrapped in health
claims.

So here are the 3 rules I follow when choosing a protein bar:

1️. It must have at least 15g of protein from
a real source (like whey isolate, egg whites,
or beef protein — not hydrolyzed soy).

2️. Less than 6g of sugar — and no artificial
sweeteners. Aspartame, sucralose, or sugar
alcohols like malitol or erythritol wreak havoc
on gut health. Instead, look for stevia, monk
fruit, or dates.

3️. The ingredient list should be simple and
recognizable. If it sounds like a high school
chemistry project, I don’t eat it.

Because if it doesn’t pass those 3 rules,
it’s not fuel — it’s fake health.

Which rule will you start using the next
time you grab a protein bar?
