norm
yep pick another organ well lucy's got
them spilled out all over the table here
but
uh i'll go with one of your favorites
for sure we all know that
the gut right the microbiome the gut
yes absolutely when we're talking about
the gut if you've heard me
speak before about gut health if you
watch one of our previous videos and we
did an entire show all about ibs and
and making sure that we have a healthy
gut this is
the root of our good health and over 80
of our immunity comes from our gut and
the gut can be 15
up to 20 feet in length and that's a
remarkable thing about having a healthy
gut
we have both the small intestine and
this is where most of
our absorption of our nutrients happens
from our food
but also the large intestine and the
colon and of course where we have the
elimination
of our of our waste products so once our
body has taken everything that it needs
from the food then we have that
elimination process
and you know there's some very specific
things to avoid in the diet because we
don't want to mess up this balance so
certainly if you've heard me speak
before i talk about the balance between
the good and the
bad flora in the gut and this is called
our microbiome and the microbiome needs
to be balanced we want to have more of
the good guys
and less of the bad guys so more of the
good guys being the probiotics
and less of the bad guys being you know
those
harmful organisms like the candida the
parasites the
and you know some of those negative
organisms so it's really important that
we're finding this balance and how do we
do that well we have to avoid the things
that
puts this off balance in the first place
so things
like super low so sucralose is an
artificial sweetener
which you may have heard of sure and the
sucralose can really kill off
all of those good flora something that
we don't want certainly
another thing is antibiotics so chronic
you know use
of antibiotics and and the conventional
antibiotics
that are prescribed really wipe out
a lot of that good flora and that's not
something that we want so as much as we
can
you know stay away from infections and
things by keeping our
healthy microbiome and enough probiotics
every day we also want to make sure that
we're really
inundating our body with probiotics if
we
in the event that we actually need to
take a conventional antibiotic
okay now when it comes to detoxifying
don't we really need to be home for a
couple of days just to make sure isn't
this really a weekend project if you
will
well this may be one of the big myths
that you've heard about detoxification
is that you have to be close to a
washroom and i'm going to dispel that
myth
immediately now depending on the detox
that you're doing let's just qualify
this
for a second there are some herbal
medicines that are super
overpowering to the digestive tract
that's not what i recommend
and you know for more information about
things that i do recommend check the
links below
and the proven you know herbal medicines
that are very gentle one of the ones
that i love
is called cascara sagrada and cascara
sagrada
is a gentle herbal medicine that helps
to gently get things going so if you are
constipated
and you're not having enough bowel
movements this is a problem in terms of
building up those toxins in your body
definitely want to make sure that you're
eliminating every day
and cascara is a fantastic herbal
medicine that gently gets things going
but also is not overpowering it's not
going to flush out your electrolytes
which is often a huge question that i
get about detoxification
you know that would be a fear which
relates to the kidney
i now know but that would be a fear of
mine it's like okay hold on tight
we're going through a detox here so you
know what that means bombs away
so to speak exactly and if you know if
you've ever experienced a detox or a
cleanse and you've been running to the
washroom
that wasn't a good detox or cleanse to
be taking
so just you know buyer beware because
there's a lot of misinformation out
there
people you know go crazy wanting to do
the right thing all the time
yet you've been misguided and i know
you've been lied to and it's very
frustrating i've heard so many people
you know when i've talked about
detoxification on television for the
last you know
10 15 years is that oh i'll never
i'll never try a detox i won't do that
because it's
it's something that i'm scared about and
i don't want to be running to the
washroom and it flushes out all your
good
everything and all your electrolytes and
you feel sick and you get sick and
i'm going to dispel that myth right now
it's not true if you're doing the right
type that's a great point
detox because if you don't the last
thing you want is to not feel healthy
while you're trying to do something
healthy for yourself exactly so this is
why it's so important to do
the right thing and the right type of
detox another thing that we have to
focus on when we're talking about the
gut is definitely to get rid of those
bad guys so as much as we need enough of
the probiotics so from the healthy
probiotic foods like yogurt and
sauerkraut and kimchi
we also have to get rid of those
parasites so some of my favorite herbal
medicines to get rid of those bad guys
the parasites the candida would include
oregano so oregano is a fantastic herbal
medicine which helps to alleviate those
bad guys and the candida
and cloves so cloves are fantastic
because
cloves are great for killing off those
bad organisms because not only
do they kill off the adult worms but
they also help to kill off the eggs and
the larvae
of those parasites which yes i know you
don't want to hear about it you don't
want to think about it you don't want to
have to we got to talk about it we got
to talk about it and that's why i'm all
about educating and yes i'm the good bad
and the ugly that's what you're going to
get on the show
another one of the herbal medicines that
i love for the parasites is called black
walnut so the black walnut is very
specific for also killing the parasites
both
the the adult intestinal worms but also
you know the the larvae or their babies
unfortunately and there's a whole
process so if you want more information

always contact us and we get back to

know you may have a lot of questions
about
especially parasites and candida please
leave your questions and comments below
i would love to hear from you because
you know you shouldn't have to walk
around and feel misinformed because i
know there's a lot of you know
information
out there on the web and on youtube and
everywhere about doing these things but
doing it safely and doing
it in an effective way is what i'm all
about you know what she's absolutely
right in all sincerity she will get back
to you
uh so don't just think that she's just
saying that i found that out when you
leave a comment or a question of course
uh dr janine and the staff of course
will get back to you so we've talked
about the emotional connection to the
kidney
what's the emotional connection to the
gut so that's a great question
so the emotional connection to the gut
and the gi tract
is worry so different from fear
fear is more i think a deeper emotion
and and big you know the big stuff when
you fear the big stuff
but worry is more in the moment and
you may have experienced this when you
are worried about maybe giving a speech
or you know you've got to have a hard
conversation with someone that
you have to use the washroom a little
bit more yeah and and it
it speeds up your bowel movements well
that's because of the worry
and it's that gut brain reaction and
connection
that has a lot to do now in traditional
chinese medicine this is something that
was discovered thousands and thousands
of years ago
but to know that that connection between
worry and the gut is definitely there
and certainly
if you've got a lot of digestive issues
you've got a lot of
issues with the digestive tract to
really start to look at that mental
connection to
you know that worry and start to to work
on that on the mental level this will
really go a long way to actually help
your gut
this is amazing to me i've never heard
of anything like this before do you feel
the same as me about this
i'm learning so much along the way and
remember you can do the same with all
the previous episodes too
all of them i think have the same kind
of impactful
revelations at least for me not really
knowing
all these different points
