223: Diving into Complicated Cases of Gut Health, Hormones, and Allergies with Isabel Smith

In this episode, Isabel Smith delves into a concerning trend she has noticed: people are experiencing more complex and slower healing processes for various health issues. She highlights how standard gut issues, hormone imbalances, and other health problems are now requiring stronger treatments and taking longer to heal. Isabel explores the potential reasons behind this shift, suggesting that the loss of resiliency in our bodies may be a contributing factor to the slower healing processes. She discusses the importance of identifying deficiencies in the body and creating a healing roadmap, but note that it is taking longer for the body to heal compared to previous years. Isabel discusses a concerning trend where people are increasingly relying on stronger treatments for their health issues. She explains that these treatments are not yielding the same rapid results as before, indicating that the conditions are becoming more intricate and challenging to address. Isabel attributes this phenomenon to factors such as heightened fatigue and overall depletion in individuals' bodies, resulting in weakened mitochondria. As the mitochondria play a crucial role in powering cells and bodily functions, including the immune system and healing processes, she suggests that the need for stronger treatments may stem from compromised immune systems and slower healing capabilities. Additionally, our guest discusses the rise of chemical toxicity in the environment, food, and clothing, and its impact on overall health. She acknowledges that this trend is particularly prevalent in the US, although it may not be as prominent in other regions. We concur that it requires significant time and effort to ensure that one's surroundings, food, and other aspects of daily life are free from harmful chemicals. 00:07:46 Food as medicine, helping people. 00:12:18 Complexity of healing is increasing. 00:14:43 Histamine intolerance and COVID microbiome. 00:21:06 Gut microbiome affected by viruses. 00:24:43 Antibiotic resistance and prevalence of fungus. 00:30:06 Use Mastic gum for H. pylori. 00:37:41 Importance of clinical treatment and inference. 00:41:56 Diet matters for yeast overgrowth. 00:48:35 Reconnecting with our bodies is important. 00:50:58 Mindset is crucial for healing. 00:55:00 Importance of holistic healing.
