219// Why You Need to Care About Mold Illness NOW

Do you feel better every time you're on a protocol, but as soon as you stop your supplements or diet restrictions, your symptoms come back?Have you done a SIBO, parasite, or candida protocol multiple times, only to find that retesting shows you STILL have it?Do you feel like you've tried EVERYTHING to heal your body, but nothing has worked?Do you have symptoms across your body that can't be explained by doctors, symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, eczema, constipation, acid reflux, bloating, hormone imbalance, or PMS?If you said yes to ANY of these question, then you need to care about something called mold illness. Mold illness is caused by being exposed to toxins that mold produced called MYCOTOXINS. It's different than a mold allergy, and so it's typically ignored completely by conventional medicine. Here on the Better Belly Podcast, we are having a Mold Month Series during August where every episode is dedicated to educating you about mold, how to know if you have it, and what to do about it if you do. This series is designed for those new to the mold conversation and those who've been in it for a while. If you're new to the idea of mold, though, you likely have a big fat question of: "Do I really need to care about this?"On today's episode, I'm addressing my top reasons on WHY you should be seriously considering that mold may be apart of your chronic health problems.

218// Can You Heal Constipation with a Tortuous or Redundant Colon? (Or a Mega Colon?)

If you have a tortuous colon, redundant colon, or mega colon - do you have a life sentence to constipation? Learn the answer today.----If you're listening to this episode, then you've likely been diagnosed with or believe you may have either a redundant colon or tortuous colon, or a mega colon. And you're wondering - if I have this, can I ever overcome my constipation?Unfortunately for you, doctors frequently make it sound like a redundant or tortuous colon, or a mega colon, are life sentences to constipation. They often make it sound like you have this irreversible structural problem you'll never overcome, and you either have to do a surgery (that might not help anyways), take tons of laxatives, or you just aren't going to poop daily. The good news is - this is NOT true.But I don't expect you to simply take my word for it.In today's episode, I'm going to dive into WHY a redundant / tortuous colon and megacolon are not life sentences to constipation, why doctors make it seem that way, and what you can do to overcome bloating and constipation in your life - even with a redundant / tortuous colon or megacolon.LINKS FROM THE SHOW:If this podcast episode made positively impacted you, please leave a Rating and Review for the podcast.
