Bloating, gas, smelly farts, and other digestive symptoms often all have different root causes and different solutions.

Healthy digestion starts with strong stomach acid. Your stomach acid should have a pH between 1 and 3 to properly break down protein and help control microbes. Low stomach acid is one of the most common causes of gas and bloating.

Most gas is produced by microbes in the large intestine. When these microbes migrate into the small intestine, they can begin fermenting food, leading to SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Bacteria and fungi thrive on sugar and starches, contributing to gut inflammation, pain, bloating, and digestive discomfort. The carnivore diet can be beneficial for people dealing with SIBO.

Betaine hydrochloride can help to restore stomach acid, but it should be avoided if you have a stomach ulcer. Intermittent fasting is a great way to support digestive health while helping reduce bloating and gas.

If your bloating gets worse as the day goes on, stress may be a contributing factor. Long walks, quality sleep, and nasal breathing can help support gut health. L. reuteri also supports gut health while increasing oxytocin, which can help support a healthy stress response.

If you’re dealing with chronic disease symptoms, understanding the root cause is critical, but it’s often overlooked. One of the best ways to identify the root cause is to determine when your symptoms began, and what happened just before that.

In 2017, more than 31 million people were diagnosed with hypertension overnight without any actual change in their blood pressure. Instead, the diagnostic definition of high blood pressure changed.

Similar trends have occurred with cholesterol and diabetes. In 1988, an LDL level of 190 was considered normal. By 2001, that threshold had dropped to 130, and statin prescriptions doubled. The classification for high cholesterol dropped again in 2013.

Prediabetes was also introduced as a diagnostic category, and today more than 115 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes.

Expanded diagnostic classifications have not translated into longer life expectancy. Chronically elevated insulin may be at the root of many chronic illnesses, and a high-carbohydrate diet can keep insulin levels elevated.

Natural approaches and lifestyle factors are not always addressed when someone receives a chronic disease diagnosis.

When faced with a gout diagnosis, many people are told to reduce their intake of red meat, organ meats, and shellfish because they contain purines. Purines turn into uric acid, and for a small percentage of people, removing them from the diet may eliminate gout symptoms. However, many people find that avoiding purines alone doesn’t help.

Research has found that one of the strongest drivers of gout is insulin resistance. Uric acid is normally eliminated through the kidneys and the gut. When you have insulin resistance, it becomes more difficult for the kidneys to flush out uric acid. As uric acid builds up, it can accumulate in the joints, causing gout pain, or back up into the kidneys and contribute to kidney stones.

High-fructose corn syrup can significantly increase uric acid production in the liver. Fructose is found in table sugar, agave nectar, fruit, and fruit juice, and is primarily metabolized by the liver. Hidden glucose from industrial starches can significantly raise insulin levels, contributing to uric acid buildup and joint pain, especially in the big toe and knees. Poor gut health and alcohol consumption may also contribute to gout.

Some people experience a gout attack when starting keto, but this is typically temporary and often subsides within the first or second week. Consuming celery and increasing your fluid intake may help your body clear uric acid more quickly.

You already have cancer cells! Not active cancer, but precancerous cells. Even within a tumor, there can be many different types of cancer cells that survive on different types of fuel.

Most people don’t know these surprising facts about cancer. Cancer can send out “scouts” before it spreads, turn your own immune cells against you, and even steal energy from the immune system. Treatment may also fail to eliminate cancer stem cells, which is one reason cancer can sometimes come back.

Cancer develops in stages:

• Hyperplasia
• Atypical hyperplasia
• Metaplasia
• Dysplasia
• Carcinoma in situ
• Invasive cancer
• Metastatic cancer

Cancer cells grow as quickly as possible, consuming glucose and producing lactic acid. Prolonged fasting may help limit the resources cancer cells depend on.

The body has several natural lines of defense against cancer. Guardian cells help repair damaged cells or trigger self-destruction when cells can’t be repaired. Natural killer cells help target cancer cells. Immune function is heavily influenced by sleep, stress, and environment.

Cancer also has strategies to suppress the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D is vital for healthy immune function and defense. Cancer cells need their own blood supply, and compounds like sulforaphane may help target this process.

Cancer thrives in areas of inflammation, which is why supporting a healthy immune system and overall health is so important.
