Dr. Ruscio Radio, DC: Health, Nutrition and Functional Healthcare

In this episode, Dr. Lucy Mailing answers the question, "Does exercise impact gut health?" Inspired by her journey with chronic eczema, Dr. Mailing started looking into the gut-skin connection to improve her symptoms. Seeing this connection spurred her research and career in gut health, the microbiome, and nutrition science. When it comes to improving gut health, evidence shows exercise can help. But, how much exercise is needed? What type of exercise intensity is most effective? What diets and supplements can be paired with exercise to enhance gut health? Join the discussion with Dr. Mailing and me as we discuss fine-tuning your exercise regime to benefit your gut microbiome.

In this episode, I answer the question, "Is your thyroid diagnosis correct?" Surprisingly, this question is asked more commonly than you think. Even in the functional medicine sphere, thyroid issues are overdiagnosed and overtreated, often leading patients down the wrong treatment path. Rather than being shoehorned into a thyroid diagnosis, it's important to look at the scientific evidence that explains why it may not be your thyroid causing symptoms of fatigue, digestive issues, or brain fog. Listen in to hear when thyroid medication and interventions are necessary, what TPO and TSH levels indicate a thyroid issue, and what steps you can take to discover the true root cause of your health issues.

In this episode, the spotlight is on Sally's successful gut healing story. While Sally tried a low histamine diet and other remedies on her own, she didn't find relief of her chronic GI and histamine-related symptoms until working with Dr. Hannah Hamlin from our clinic. Taking note of Sally's symptoms, labs, medical history, and previous treatments she's tried, Dr. Hamlin devised a plan with two of our clinic's most effective therapies: triple therapy probiotics and an elemental diet. Hear how these remedies helped Sally feel more confident about what she can eat and provided her with the healing she was looking for.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. David Jockers about what really works for healing leaky gut syndrome. When your gut is "leaky," symptoms from diarrhea to joint pain to brain fog can occur. These symptoms point to a larger issue of an overreactive immune response, which can be calmed down with the right tools in place. At the clinic, we follow the scientific evidence and listen to how our patients respond to various treatments. With healing leaky gut, we've found one supplement that works across the board for patients. We've also found what doesn't work, despite the hype around these modalities. Listen to the episode to hear the best ways to get a healthier gut and you. https://www.drruscio.com/leaky-gut-inflammation

In this episode, I share how one of our patients, Amy, struggled to find success with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for symptoms of anxiety and depression and instead found relief with probiotics. As she worked through these issues with our clinic's Dr. Scott, she was able to see the connections between her mood, hormones, and gut health. Amy's other symptoms were gas, bloating, loose stools, and insomnia. While there's not one magic bullet that resolves everyone's symptoms, probiotics made a substantial difference in Amy's overall health. Tune in to hear more about her health journey and how probiotics improve cortisol, gut dysbiosis, sleep, and more. https://www.drruscio.com/hrt-for-symptoms My book Healthy Gut, Healthy You is available at https://drruscio.com/getgutbook If you're in need of clinical support, please visit https://ruscioinstitute.com Looking for more?
