There are about 300,000 new cases of Lyme Disease every single year in the United States. Dr. J aims to help you better protect yourself from similar summertime parasitic infections.

Let's start with Lyme. If you find a tick in your yard, near your house, or on you, it is best to send it to a lab to have it tested so you know if it's carrying Lyme or any co-infections.

As a clinician, Dr. J sees so many patients that experience nausea, that queasy kind of upset stomach feeling. Of course, Dr. J is not only interested in medical history and providing relief, but as a practitioner of functional medicine, the goal is to find the root cause of that nauseous feeling.

Very possible root causes are h.pylori, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

Dr. J starts the podcast off with some stats, more than 3 million Americans have serious gut issues and acid-blocking medication is high on the list of meds most often bought. Does this surprise you? Dr. J is sharing seven nutrients that encourage healing in the gut.

Dr. J looks at some root causes like food allergens, not enough stomach acid or enzymes, chronic stress, or over-exercising. Tackle the low-hanging fruit and set a good foundation for your gut to heal.

You've seen the commercials, probiotics are made out to be this product you take that makes you feel wonderful, but what if it doesn't? What if you take probiotics and have to run to the bathroom and feel terrible instead? Dr. J is looking at probiotic intolerance, what probiotics are, how they work, and why they might not be working for you and what you can do instead.

Dr. J is in the house with a full podcast on glutathione, what it is, what it does, what happens when you don't have enough of it, what nutrients you need to maximize glutathione, and how you can boost your glutathione levels naturally.

First things first, what is glutathione? It is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamine, and glycine. These are sulfur-rich amino acids which you find mostly in animal products, while you can get some vegetable-derived sulfur amino acids.
