So let’s leap in with Dr. Amy Myers. Dr. Amy, welcome. Thank you such a lot for being right here.
Dr Amy Myers: Thanks for having me, Katie. I’m tremendous excited.
Katie: Me too, I think like this dialog is lengthy late and I’m extraordinarily excited to be informed from you as of late. I believe to start out off vast, some background on you may in fact be probably the most useful start line for this dialog since you’ve stated that standard drugs failed you and also you’re on a challenge to stay it from failing other folks. And I believe your tale illustrates a actually profound reason you do the paintings that you simply do. So let’s get started there. How did you get into this, what’s now your entire global and this paintings that you simply do?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, smartly, it’s an overly lengthy tale, however to make it quick, I grew up with folks that have been very holistic. My father was once a professor of Asian research. My mom taught yoga and jogged again within the 70s. And so if we have been ever in poor health, which was once very hardly ever, he took Chinese language herbs. My mom was once very accustomed to the microbiome, made do-it-yourself yogurt once we have been little, do-it-yourself complete wheat bread. So I form of grew up with this. My mom taught yoga, meditation, despatched me to Transcendental Meditation when I used to be in highschool. So I form of grew up in a, I wouldn’t classify them as hippies, however simply form of, you understand, that more or less global.
And I went to school, idea I used to be gonna be a psychologist on the finish, determined that I wasn’t gonna do this and become a banker of all issues. After which learn a e book known as, The Street Much less Traveled, it actually resonated with me about form of going in the market and now not doing what everyone else is doing. And for no matter reason why, I all the time had a keenness to present and to assist. And so I joined the Peace Corps in fact when I used to be 25. And on my manner all the way down to the Peace Corps, I learn a e book by means of Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Therapeutic, and it were given me reinvigorated with regards to pure therapeutic, herbs, such things as that. Taught myself yoga down within the Peace Corps.
Lengthy tale quick, got here again and determined I sought after to be a physician. I in fact moved out to Seattle to visit probably naturopathic scientific faculty. And after operating with some docs there, discovered that even in Seattle, the normal docs and the naturopathic docs have been getting paid in a different way and simply considered in a different way. And I assumed, smartly, this is more or less unusual as a result of I’m out within the position the place they’ve this faculty they usually’re meant to be actually revered. And so anyway, I made the verdict to visit allopathic scientific faculty, however with the concept that I might finally end up doing anything holistic, pure on the finish of it all. So I took all my electives of an integrative drugs. I began a complimentary and choice passion crew. We even began a program on the college. I went to LSU in New Orleans.
And my 2nd yr of scientific faculty, I began getting panic assaults. I used to be shedding weight abruptly whilst consuming, you understand, Ezekiel bread and vegan butter at night time, to not get up, two kilos thinner. And after all had this tremor that despatched me to the physician and he or she brushed me off and stated, oh, that is scientific faculty tension. Your 2nd yr, you’re finding out a majority of these illnesses and also you simply assume you’ve got they all. And I stated, wait a minute. I imply, I actually lived in the course of nowhere earlier than cellphones or the rest within the Peace Corps. My mom had died impulsively of pancreatic most cancers in 4 months proper once I were given again from the Peace Corps. It’s like, I don’t care for tension like this. This isn’t tension, anything’s incorrect with me.
So I demanded a workup and he or she known as me again a few weeks later and I don’t assume she actually apologized and he or she stated, oh, you’ve got Graves’ illness, which is an autoimmune dysfunction of your thyroid. And that was once what should be blamed for all of my signs, the insomnia, the load loss, the entire tremor, the whole thing. And so I used to be given 3 horrible alternatives. One was once to have my thyroid blown up like Hiroshima. The opposite was once to take actually poisonous drugs. And the opposite one was once to have my thyroid reduce out.
So I went again to my roots and I did Chinese language drugs for a few months and I didn’t actually see a distinction in that. In the meantime, I used to be consuming quite a lot of gluten and vegan cheeses. I used to be a vegetarian and off and on vegan for 27 years. After which in the long run I succumbed and I stated, all proper, I’ll take the drugs. It kind of feels to be the lesser of all of those evils. Inside of a few weeks, I used to be feeling terrible. My pores and skin was once dry, my hair was once falling out, I used to be fatigued. Went again to the physician and I used to be instructed that I used to be one in one million and I had poisonous hepatitis from the medicine. So I briefly needed to get off of that. I just about needed to drop out of scientific faculty as a result of I needed to cross get in mattress and my liver was once destroying itself from this drugs, and mainly had to determine was once I then gonna have my thyroid blown up or have it ripped out surgically.
I reached out to Andrew Weil, I regarded in the entire study, I may just in finding not anything that gave me an alternate or pure strategy to this. So I made the toughest resolution of my existence and I had my thyroid radioactively ablated.
And after that, I used to be nonetheless in scientific faculty. I graduated, I become an ER doctor at Surprise Trauma in Maryland, after which in the long run an ER doctor right here in Austin, Texas. And… At some point I simply stated, I’ve were given to get again to my roots. I imply, although they, standard drugs, handled my graves by means of blowing up my thyroid, and now I don’t have a thyroid, there’s gotta be anything higher. I’ve gotta get again to. I went to scientific faculty within the first position.
So I went to a convention about purposeful drugs, which is actually attending to the basis of why you’ve got positive stipulations, specifically autoimmunity and working out how one can right kind imbalances at that path and in the long run expectantly reversing or therapeutic, no matter’s occurring with you. In order that actually resonated with me and why I sought after to visit scientific faculty initially. And so I dove directly in and ultimately unfolded a global famend purposeful drugs health facility.
I left the ER, wrote a number of books, which can be in the back of me and, and, you understand, went complete pressure into purposeful drugs and now helped actually loads of hundreds of other folks around the globe, however indubitably hundreds of other folks with Graves illness opposite their situation and now not need to do what I did. In order that’s why I say it’s my standard drugs failed me and is my challenge not to have it fail you too. In order that was once just a little of a protracted tale, however that’s how I were given to changing into a purposeful drugs doctor after which in the long run now proudly owning a well being and wellness corporate. As you understand, Amy Myers MD.
Katie: Oh, and there’s such a lot of explicit instructions I wish to cross on this, as a result of I do know there are lots of other folks listening who’ve some type of auto-immunity or thyroid problems. There are surely other folks going via intestine problems. And I additionally know that there are possibly some not unusual issues that run all over a large number of those issues. So I’d love to speak first about what you notice as one of the vital giant triggers or members to the upward push around the board in a large number of those issues that we’re seeing indubitably in The united states, however in different portions of the arena as smartly.
Dr Amy Myers: So with regards to all power stipulations and autoimmunity, so I write about in my first e book, the autoimmune resolution, I used to be the individual that coined the word, the autoimmune spectrum. So by means of this is, you’ve got any individual down right here with little to no irritation, and then you definitely’re operating your manner up upper at the spectrum with extra irritation the entire technique to complete blown power autoimmunity.
Now there are possibly only a few other folks have completely no irritation as we all know, young children are being born with toxins and whatnot on the planet, however maximum folks take a seat someplace on this spectrum the entire manner as much as power illness or power autoimmunity. And there are 5 elements that I write about in either one of my books, and that’s toxins, infections, our intestine, leaky intestine, meals, since our nutrition, and tension. And so I will be able to stroll via each and every of those and the way they’ve actually all of those spaces have exploded for many people. We all know that there are extra toxins on the planet than there’ve ever been, proper? We all know that now taking a look at research with wire blood that there are lots of, many toxins already in utero when a child is born. So, and the ones toxins are expanding day by day. And if you need, we will be able to get into why this is.
We’re, you understand, a large number of youngsters are already being, young children are being born with leaky guts. Extra youngsters are being born with C-sections. Extra mothers are getting antibiotics, you understand, when in utero and getting those toxins, consuming a nutrition that’s inflammatory. So young children are already being born with, you understand, little intestine microbiome or a disturbed microbiome with C-sections and simply, you understand, how we’re going throughout the global.
Our nutrition, we, you understand, processed meals. We have been simply at a large water park the day prior to this and taking a look round, I imply, the quantity of people who I noticed that have been simply in weight. And I imply, I’m now not even speaking taking a look are compatible was once only a few. So we’re already, you understand, we’re many, many of us in our society now are simply consuming very inflammatory diets with those overly processed meals. As you understand, the wheat has been changed. And so there’s extra gluten in our wheat. There’s roundup in our meals. And so we’re already having inflammatory meals. Leaky guys have been having extra toxins.
We’re residing in a wired global. We now have EMFs bombarding as we now have our cellphones on always have been to be had. The stressors going through us each day of simply larger as smartly. After which infections increasingly more infections, proper? I imply, we noticed, you understand, with the pandemic with Covid. I imply, we now have those Infections, whether or not they’re viruses, the Parasites, their micro organism, they’re changing into tremendous insects, they’re changing into reactivated, they’re changing into, you understand, they’re residing within ourselves and most likely getting reactivated through the years. What number of people are you aware that experience had COVID a couple of occasions? So what’s that doing to our immune programs?
And indubitably, I am hoping on this dialog, we’ll get into the answers as a result of I’d by no means love to, inform other folks giant, frightening ideas and that, and simply to get them beaten as a result of I’m actually a answers orientated individual.
However the ones are the issues that I see which might be actually contributing to autoimmunity and simply power irritation that’s resulting in, weight problems that’s resulting in… dysregulation of our metabolism that’s resulting in diabetes, you understand, all of those very power and admittedly preventable illnesses that we have got now.
Katie: Yeah, such as you, I believe it is a very multifaceted downside. And I love that you’re taking a multifaceted method as a result of I’ve noticed many of us wanna focal point on simply a kind of spaces. And indubitably if it have been simply nutrition, I take a look at the knowledge and say like, our diets in fact haven’t modified sufficient to justify the upward push in weight problems, even by myself or diabetes. There’s clearly many elements contributing, but in addition I do know, and I do know you talk to this so much as smartly. Such as you stated, there are lots of answers and there nonetheless is skill to are living optimally if you have the data to try this.
I additionally really feel such as you have been forward of the rage, you and your folks with the meditation aspect, you discussed tension being a large issue. And now not that that’s in any respect a cure-all, however I might say the overwhelming majority of people that come in this podcast even discussed meditation as being a actually precious instrument. And we all know that like psychological well being and mindset additionally affects our bodily frame and the study turns out to simply building up on that. I might bet many of us may also resonate with even your tale of getting to call for a workup out of your physician. I listen from such a lot of mothers and girls who know anything’s incorrect and are disregarded. I had the similar revel in being instructed the whole thing’s positive, your thyroid is commonplace and having to call for very explicit checks to even get a solution.
After which from there to determine answers in large part by myself, as a result of I didn’t have a you shut by means of in my early levels that would assist me get there extra briefly. So I really like that we have so a lot more knowledge and other folks such as you who’re serving to other folks get explicit centered knowledge. I’d love to head just a little deeper past, I really like as an example, that you simply outline autoimmunity as a spectrum. I believe that’s a actually useful instrument as opposed to a easy sure or no, do or don’t more or less resolution.
However then inside that, there are such a large amount of classes of autoimmunity. So are there not unusual reasons that may more or less display up within the frame in a different way in keeping with genetics as an example, or do issues appear to line up with like explicit triggers growing extra explicit forms of autoimmunity?
Dr Amy Myers: It is a nice query. I imply, the study presentations that, you understand, actually best 20% is genetic founded. I imply, again within the day, we idea as all of us, I’m certain you’ve talked repeatedly in your podcast about epigenetics. You had this gene, you were given this illness. We now know that those genes can also be became off and on, and those SNPs. And we all know that folks, even with out the genes for Celiac, can in fact get Celiac. So it’s now not all in regards to the genes. Actually, about 75% of it’s those environmental elements that I simply discussed. And in order that’s in fact probably the most empowering a part of all of this, is this is for your regulate.
And that’s actually what I discuss in all of my books is ready, as a substitute of having laden by means of all of this data, consider that, two thirds or 3 fourths of it’s for your regulate and issues that you’ll be able to do to modify, which is how we’re ready to opposite autoimmunity.
So again to the autoimmune, I imply, I may just see 3 other folks with, let’s simply say Hashimoto’s or Graves. And the explanation that the ones 3 other folks have that very same illness may well be for massively other causes. One may just actually simply have a gluten sensitivity and leaky intestine and we get them off gluten, heal their intestine and their antibodies are reversing for Hashimoto’s.
The opposite may well be that they’re in a, very anxious dating and a terrible activity and tension is their largest cause they usually even have a gluten sensitivity. After which the 3rd individual can have all 5 of them. I imply, I do know that all over my lifetime and issues have come and long past, I surely had all 5. And by the point I used to be seeing other folks with seven, 8 autoimmune stipulations, in fact they most often had all 5.
However in standard drugs, as we’re taught to listen to a illness, title the illness, give a drug, we’re now not even idea to invite about what’s occurring or search for the deeper root motive. However even supposing we have been, I’m certain they’d be announcing, oh, smartly, it’s Hashimoto’s and those are your best reasons. And it’s merely now not true. I imply, I noticed it day in and time out in my health facility of simply, how persons are coming.
Now, I might say in keeping with the literature and the study of Alessio Fasano, given gluten and autoimmunity and the speculation in the back of molecular mimicry, and in case your listeners don’t know what this is, I’m glad to enter it, I do suggest that everyone who’s at the spectrum has antibodies or has in fact been recognized with autoimmunity get off of gluten as a result of those cross-reactivity on this molecular mimicry. It’s so very sturdy, specifically with thyroid stipulations or autoimmune thyroid stipulations. In order that’s why I did point out gluten in each and every of the ones examples for the reason that correlation is so top that I do suggest everyone who has autoimmunity be off of gluten.
Katie: That is smart. And indubitably like my folks, as an example, have spotted that fluctuate themselves as they’ve gotten older they usually benefited from going off gluten. Regardless that I do listen from a large number of those that understand in positive different puts on the planet, they in fact appear to do exactly positive with positive meals that they can’t devour within the U.S. And I’m curious in case you’ve had revel in with that and if you understand any of the the reason why is the meals provide that other elsewhere in comparison to the U.S.?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, so I too have heard that and I’ve traveled to Europe however as a result of my historical past and what I do know, I don’t tempt destiny and I don’t devour gluten once I’m in a foreign country. I indubitably heard that point and time once more from sufferers in my health facility that they did that. However I additionally had a girl who was once recognized with polymyositis and he or she was once doing really well. After which she went to Europe and he or she ate a host of gluten and didn’t really feel adore it affected her however then she got here again and had an overly giant flare. So in case you are recognized with full-blown autoimmunity, I nonetheless would now not suggest that you simply do this. Then again, the speculation in the back of that is that they have got a lot, let’s simply take Europe as an example, a lot stricter rules about the usage of Roundup, about genetically editing their meals. They’re the usage of historical grains. They’re now not the usage of the similar degree of insecticides. On the whole, they’re consuming a more healthy nutrition however it sounds as if the wheat is extra of our historical wheat.
And simply to remind your listeners, so what took place with our wheat is we didn’t regulate it. We hybridized it. And once we hybridized it, it supposed that this may well be develop heartier, it would develop larger however it additionally had extra gluten in our wheat. And in order that’s actually a part of the issue is, and then you definitely upload Roundup on most sensible of it, which is meant to, you understand, building up the permeability of your mind, your intestine, the entire toxins with Roundup disrupt your microbiome, then we actually have this downside, proper? I imply, it’s now not, it’s that our wheat has extra gluten in it, it’s that it’s stuffed with Roundup, it’s that we’re residing with leaky guts, maximum folks, after which we’re consuming so a lot more gluten.
So it’s in the whole thing, now not simply bread. It’s from our shampoos to the lots of the sushi that has crab meat in it isn’t actual crab meat, it’s in fact a glutinous, you understand, it’s in fact all gluten to create this mock crab meat, as an example. So we’re simply getting uncovered on such a lot of other stages and in this kind of extra intense manner than our folks or indubitably our grandparents or nice grandparents.
Katie: And I’d like to now get started going via out of your ethos, the answer targeted form of information and contact issues of a few of these other stipulations. As a result of like I stated, I do know many of us listening have or are experiencing a few of them.
And I might say going in a single unrelated tip that I all the time give at first of this dialog is I realized to shift my, even my speech and the way I communicate to myself from as a substitute of claiming, “I’ve Hashimoto’s”, I might say “I’m therapeutic from Hashimoto’s” simply because I think just like the mindset is a big piece as smartly. However on that observe, I think adore it’s actually useful to have the gear to understand how we’re going to heal from those quite a lot of issues.
And also you’ve discussed intestine well being as a foundational factor to a large number of other stipulations. So I’d love to start out there and listen to out of your viewpoint, what are one of the vital key issues that folks want to pay attention to and keep away from relating to intestine well being? And what are one of the vital key form of universally really helpful issues we will be able to do to toughen our intestine well being?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, if I might digress to 1 tale that hints on your speaks on your chatting with your self and this is a very tough tale of a girl in my health facility who had vitiligo and he or she had. She had moved right here from Africa and he or she labored and he or she were underneath an overly abusive excessive scenario and was once ready to return into the rustic as a result of that. After which she felt her want to give again to the folk of her nation that have been additionally my immigrating into, into the USA was once to be an interpreter.
And what I realized from talking along with her was once that she needed to, as an interpreter in a courtroom of legislation, it’s a must to say, I this and I that now not they, it’s a must to be the individual to interpret. And so what I noticed after going via many visits with this girl and now not making a large number of development is that I assumed that she was once taking up each and every of the ones other folks’s tales by means of announcing, I, I this, I that. So she was once reliving, although it was once their trauma, she was once reliving it as though it was once her personal trauma. And I advised that she had to surrender her occupation or her activity. She didn’t take that flippantly, however anyway, about six months later, she known as again or emailed me again and stated that she after all did and her vitiligo was once beginning to get to the bottom of. So it’s simply chatting with what you have been announcing and the facility of the thoughts of surroundings your self up for those, surroundings your frame, getting ready your frame in any respect stages, getting ready yourselves for therapeutic. And that adventure can also be very other for everybody.
So again to the intestine. Smartly, let me say that I’ve 4 pillars within the Myers manner, which is this system that I got here up with after operating with tens of hundreds of sufferers. And the primary one is to eliminate gluten, grains and legumes. And I discussed the molecular mimicry with gluten grains. I do know legumes, you’ve almost definitely mentioned this widely, may have anti-nutrient houses. They may be able to have lectins in them, issues that may aggravate the intestine. I used to be a vegetarian for 27 years. I imply, I had a large number of intestine dysbiosis occurring.
After which there are infections reminiscent of Candida, SIBO which might be ate up carbs, even supposing they’re wholesome carbs as beans and rice and such things as that. So I do suggest that folks give these items up, gluten indefinitely, however the grains and legumes, a minimum of for days or longer until they begin, heal your intestine after which we will be able to dive into you particularly. There’s a 4 hour program with therapeutic your intestine and we’ll dive into that and the specifics that I exploit.
Then we wish to tame the toxins and that’s actually about, glance we are living in a poisonous global. So I like to recommend if you’ll be able to, to create an atmosphere at house, at your place of job, anyplace you’re spending maximum time, that filters those. How can we get toxins? Smartly, we breathe them in, we get them in via our pores and skin and we ingest them in. So having HEPA air filters in your house if you’ll be able to, having water filtration now not simply at your tap but in addition you understand for your showers, the usage of all-natural toxin-free cleansing merchandise and good looks merchandise after which you understand ensuring you’re consuming natural. So did I am getting via pores and skin, breathe, yeah k.
After which you need to paintings to get them out, that’s my two-step procedure. So you need to, how do you get them out? You pee them out, you poop them out, you sweat them out. So you need to be sure you’re peeing and pooping each day, you need to be sure you’re exercising or doing infrared sauna, anything to sweat each day if you’ll be able to. After which you understand I exploit two dietary supplements that in fact we now have glutathione and coconut charcoal. So acetylated glutathione, you wish to have to make certain that it’s acetylated. Some other folks use liposomal, I examined all of them in my health facility. I favor an acetylated glutathione for me individually and what I noticed discovered paintings best possible. After which you understand in order that pulls the toxins out after which anything like coconut charcoal goes to bind it. So peeing, pooping, sweating each unmarried day.
Then we wish to relieve our tension. I don’t say, you understand, eliminate your tension or, you understand, as a result of we are living in a anxious global and you’ll be able to’t simply say, k, I’m now not gonna be wired. You’ve were given to seek out tactics to present pause. So I’ve relieve tension and heal infections. And relieving tension is actually in regards to the issues that we mentioned. And glance, I realized meditation, you understand, 30-something years in the past and I don’t all the time do this each day. So it’s discovering what works for you, proper? I imply, is {that a} stroll for me? I do a large number of swimming. It’s the one position, hyperbaric and swimming, it’s the one position no person can trouble me and get to me. So the ones are giant tension relievers for me, however you wish to have to seek out what works for you, your downtime.
After which the infections are those power infections reminiscent of Epstein-Barr, herpes, those latent infections that may reactivate a protracted Lyme and coping with those infections. And, you understand, I will be able to undergo many ways if you need for the ones as smartly.
In order that’s the 4 pillars. After which again to therapeutic your intestine, which is without doubt one of the primary portions of one of the vital 2nd pillar of the 4 pillar program. And there’s form of the 4R method, which I’m certain you’ve had a large number of other folks speaking about. However once more, the very first thing is to take away. And what are you taking out? It’s again to those meals. You wanna take away gluten, you wanna dairy. Gluten and dairy are the 2 maximum inflammatory meals, however sugars, processed meals, meals dyes, GMOs, I imply, you need to get these items from your nutrition.
And most significantly, you wanna take away any infections which might be for your intestine. And that is other than the ones power infections. That is SIBO, Candida, Parasites. And indubitably when you have auto-immunity, very uncommon, I noticed any individual that didn’t have one or either one of the ones. They usually’ve now grow to be, in case you’re on social media, everyone’s speaking about SIBO and Candida. I imply, again when I used to be, you understand, you discussed I used to be one of the vital originals. I imply, I used to be, I imply, again when I used to be speaking about these things 10-15 years in the past, there weren’t many of us speaking about this. And I noticed it widely in my health facility, eliminating SIBO, eliminating Candida. We will be able to additionally stroll via how, you understand, I’m glad to proportion precisely how to try this.
After which you need to exchange the rest that’s lacking. So are you low in abdomen acid? Numerous persons are, you understand, they’ve been taking acid blockers. You want that acid to kill off Parasites. You want that acid to kill off SIBO, to kill off Candida. You want that acid, in fact, to damage down your proteins and the remainder of your meals. Do you wish to have digestive enzymes? Numerous persons are low of their digestive enzymes as a result of they’ve been consuming terrible power diets, or they’ve been on power PPIs, or different drugs that experience, you understand, averted their precise, you understand, their pancreas and their gallbladder from in fact operating. So I changed the ones issues. Every now and then that’s briefly, from time to time that’s, you understand, very long-term, however a large number of occasions as other folks start to heal, they may be able to get off of those dietary supplements. However in my revel in, it’s, it’s, you understand, it may be, you understand, extensive at the, you understand, complement and nutritional way of life exchange at first. After which, you understand, as you progress down the spectrum, you’ll be able to see the place you’ll be able to unencumber.
You wish to have to… you need to re-inoculate with a excellent top of the range, top dose probiotic. Now, in case you’re coping with Candida, I like to recommend we now have 100 billion unit probiotic. When you’re coping with SIBO although, I like to recommend a soil-based probiotic as a result of SIBO is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and that may most often be an overgrowth of lactobacillus. And maximum usual probiotics or top of the range, no matter, have lactobacillus in them and ours do as it’s the #1 micro organism in our intestine. And in order that’s the place I fluctuate on the ones two.
After which we in fact wish to, take away, reinoculate, smartly, I suppose restore. And I’m doing that most often. Your intestine cells flip over each 24-48 hours. So that they’re gonna restore most often on their very own. However I normally suggest that folks do anything to assist this procedure jumpstart this procedure. And we now have a product known as Leaky Intestine Revive. It’s in fact one in every of our primary merchandise. And it’s 3000 milligrams of L-glutamine, which is the amino acid that is helping your cells rejuvenate, but in addition what we now have within the product is a large number of various things that will let you to supply mucus. So in case you consider your intestine, what’s it? I imply, it’s a mucus membrane. And a large number of persons are lacking that mucus or have the mucus degree has been disturbed. So it’s slippery elm, marshmallow root, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice to assist your frame create extra mucus in all of the GI tract.
And so the ones are the 4 issues that I do to assist repair your intestine well being. And continuously the following query is, do I’ve to do these items ceaselessly? You realize, it actually is determined by the place you’re taking a look and the place you’re on that spectrum. And, you understand, I take Leaky Intestine Revive, many, many days of the week. We are living in a poisonous global and I simply, you understand, to stay myself in addition to a probiotic and digestive enzyme, so.
Katie: Yeah. So I took such a lot of notes on that. I really like additionally that you simply discuss that simplification procedure that continuously it’s the getting rid of of the publicity and it’s now not continuously that we need to essentially do such a lot of difficult issues after we perceive the issue.
And that I really like additionally that you simply communicate such a lot in regards to the frame form of being designed to heal and that it regenerates and that it’s supposed to transport towards therapeutic if we toughen it in doing that. And that tale you instructed about her interior communicate is one of the profound instance I’ve heard of that. That’s improbable.
Additionally from a intestine well being viewpoint, I would like your more or less ascertain or deny from a physician’s viewpoint. There’s additionally been on like Instagram and TikTok, a large number of circulating discuss how we’d like variety in what we do eat to assist more or less tradition the appropriate stability of intestine micro organism. So that you discussed keeping off the triggers like gluten and dairy and legumes, but in addition it sort of feels like a large number of us are consuming more or less only a very slender vary of plant meals and that we will be able to take pleasure in a much wider vary of greens and crops and spices that experience other advantages. Do you believe that evaluation and such things as fermented meals being really helpful as smartly?
Dr Amy Myers: Yep, so the fast resolution is sure, and I’ll get to fermented meals in a 2nd, and if I am getting off on a tangent, please ring a bell in me. However so yeah, I imply, and in addition there’s even, relying on the place your ancestry’s from as to what microbiota may well be in several proportions inside your intestine, for your microbiome. So individuals who are living in Asia or descendants of Asia, Africa as opposed to United States, are you most commonly Ecu? There are ancestrally other microbiota, and so there are lots of checks. I don’t know in case you’re related to one like microbiome or Viome or in different places, so when you have one that you simply suggest. Glance, they’re all, it’s beautiful new study, so there’s a large number of debate about how correct these items are. They may be able to be useful although, however now not best do you need variety inside your individual intestine, you wanna just be sure you’re getting the variety this is supposed to your ancestral historical past.
And in order that could be very difficult, and working out that, and so the usage of a few of these checks, I believe that they may be able to be excellent as a information. And sure, if we’re taking a look again to how we ate, our ancestors ate, they didn’t have the, as you understand, stroll into the grocer or Instacart and feature any individual ship your contemporary berries to you all yr spherical. We ate a wider number of a nutrition and we stopped and began quite a lot of issues relying on after they have been in season. And that allowed for variety simply inherently since you ate what was once to be had to you. So sure, I imply, glance, all of us, even the ones folks on this global, proper, the place I consider I’m, indubitably we’re busy, we’re creatures of conduct, we all know what we love. It’s tremendous simple, you select meal plans and also you repeat them again and again. However sure, preferably we’d all be consuming much more variety.
Again to the fermented meals, I consider that I fluctuate right here than many of us. And this once more is in keeping with my revel in as a clinician operating with hundreds of sufferers, which is since the general public, a minimum of that I noticed with auto-immunity have been coming in with SIBO and Candida, I don’t suggest fermented meals proper off the bat. And this was once an overly, you understand, paleo fx. I believe that’s the place you and I in fact met, you understand, and I spoke there for plenty of, a few years, and I might all the time have other folks come as much as me afterwards and say, I began consuming a majority of these fermented meals as a result of everyone this is telling me to try this. And I were given all this fuel and all this bloating and I think depressing.
Smartly, fermented meals is supposed to, I love to consider your intestine more or less like as a fish bowl. And it’s fish meals to feed the entire fish, which can be the great micro organism and micro organism, I imply, unhealthy micro organism. You’ve got excellent micro organism, unhealthy micro organism, just a little little bit of yeast, possibly some Parasites for your intestine. In a great global, it’s residing there harmoniously in a really perfect stability. When these items get out of stability, in case you’re feeding in fish meals, then the Candida, the SIBO, they’re gonna devour this up as smartly. In order that is the easiest instance. When you begin to take a prebiotic, you’re taking fermented meals and also you’re studying someplace and you’re taking that and also you get bloated, you’ve got fuel, you don’t really feel smartly, it may well be that you simply took an excessive amount of, however most often, and you wish to have to start out off slowly, most often that to me tells me that you’ve Candida or SIBO or each as it’s feeding the ones infections.
So my advice for my sufferers and what I like to recommend in all of my articles is to carry off at the fermented meals and the prebiotics and all that stuff, eliminate those infections. While you’ve gotten rid of those infections, you’ve gotten your microbiome wiped clean out to mainly the entire excellent stuff, then get started including within the fish meals, get started including within the prebiotics, get started including within the fermented meals and assist to flourish and reestablish and stay that microbiome in stability.
Katie: And I do know that it sort of feels like SIBO and Candida are routine issues. I’m assuming you notice those an entire lot for your health facility. Every other pointers explicit to these and or simply signs that folks would possibly… to be aware of, that may be a sign that that may be a excellent factor to peer when you have.
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, k. So sure, after writing a thyroid e book and an autoimmune e book, the #1 factor that folks come to us for is SIBO and Candida. So I would like to speak about those.
So first, Candida is Candida overgrowth. All of us have just a little little bit of Candida, however that is when it will get overgrown. So what are some cause phrases for me? Mind fog. That if I listen mind fog, primary factor that I’m considering, but even so possibly gluten sensitivity, is Candida, unexplained rashes, itchy rashes, stuff you’ve long past to the dermatologist, they don’t know after they’re like put a cream on it. That continuously is candida. Psoriasis, eczema generally has a candida underline. In fact, when you have recurrent yeast infections, you’ve got recurrent dandruff, such things as that, this is yeast. So, after which, so fuel, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, you’ll be able to have any of those, however most often it’s those pores and skin problems and the mind fog is the #1 factor I recall to mind.
How do I maintain candida? You cross on a low carb nutrition, a candida authorized nutrition, and also you’re now not, in my view, consuming those fermented meals. You’re surely eliminating sugars and carbs. After which what I exploit for my sufferers, we now have a candida equipment and program, so I created two dietary supplements. One, Candefense, and the opposite is Caprylic Acid. Caprylic Acid comes from coconut. It’s the acid within the coconut, so it more or less pokes those holes within the E-cell wall. After which the candefense is enzymes that digest the mobile wall. And then you definitely re-inoculate with actually excellent high quality top probiotics. We now have 100 billion unit probiotic. In order that’s my Candida.
SIBO is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. And the triggers that I listen there are bloating is actually the largest one. I awoke, my abdomen was once flat. I ate one meal. I regarded six months pregnant. Rosacea is a huge one for that one. After which the opposite is the general public recall to mind SIBO as having diarrhea, however it in fact may cause constipation in a large number of other folks.
And there could also be a SIBO Hashimoto’s connection, as a result of when you have low thyroid, then your digestion slows down, the meals is left for your intestine longer, after which the micro organism there cross in to digest they usually’re simply growing those other gasses. After which it’s additionally a 3 step program. The nutrition is similar to the Candida one. Actually, you’ll be able to mainly use the similar and we continuously have individuals who come to us they usually’re treating each on the identical time and I’ll be at liberty to deal with how to try this as a result of it’s rather other while you’re looking to do each.
So nutrition, you wanna starve the yeast, I imply, starve the SIBO. Then you definitely wanna prune again the SIBO with microbe. We use a herb microbe transparent. Now, in case you are seeing a doctor as a result of this has grow to be extra widely known and there’s an antibiotic, Zifaxin, which I’ve taken a number of occasions. I’ve given it to my sufferers. It’s one of the vital few antibiotics I prescribe, very explicit to the intestine. It does most often paintings really well. Then again, it’s very dear and maximum insurance coverage does now not quilt it. In order that’s why I created the micro transparent as a result of I had a majority of these other folks in my health facility that would now not have the funds for to pay hundreds of greenbacks for this antibiotic. I imply, some have been so determined. They did, however the herbs paintings actually smartly. It’s, you understand, berberine, wormwood, black walnut, a number of, herbs that simply form of pr wish to kill your entire excellent micro organism. An excessive amount of of a excellent factor created a nasty scenario, to kill again one of the vital you need to re inoculate you re-inoculate as I said. So in case you wanna deal with each on the identical time, what I like to recommend is it’s necessarily the similar nutrition. After which you’ll be able to take the MicroClear, the Caprylic Acid and the Candefenol all at one time. You’ll paintings your manner up and we give an explanation for how to try this. After which what you wanna do first is to take the soil-based probiotic and be sure you’ve gotten rid of the SIBO first. And after you have, you’ll then take the billion unit probiotic after that. So it will be like a 30 days as a substitute of and are form of 30 days, you’re doing 60 days of all of this.
Katie: That is smart.

We almost definitely know that magnesium is without doubt one of the maximum vital minerals for all sides of well being and that having low stages of magnesium may cause a wide variety of problems. Magnesium is vital in over 600 other organic reactions for your frame. But over 80% folks don’t get sufficient of the minimal quantity of magnesium we’d like from nutrition by myself. That is in part as a result of our soil lacks magnesium. It’s been depleted over time. So we’re merely now not getting as a lot from meals as we used to.

And I’m satisfied that you simply introduced up enzymes as smartly, as a result of that was once on my checklist to invite you about. It kind of feels adore it’s now not even simply what we devour essentially, but in addition how a lot we will be able to digest and soak up of what we devour. And it sort of feels like I’m seeing extra in study and from other folks I do know such as you, speaking in regards to the significance of enzymes, which will actually be useful as we grow older, or if we now have explicit stipulations particularly. I see that during minerals as routine issues presently. It kind of feels like many of us have struggles in either one of the ones spaces. Do you in finding the ones are not unusual for your sufferers as smartly?
Dr Amy Myers: Completely. So simply to be transparent, the enzymes I used to be relating to within the within the candefense are enzymes that spoil down the yeast mobile wall. However I sure, our digestive enzymes are one in every of our most sensible dealers as a result of such a lot of other folks do have those problems of getting been on power drugs and whatnot. And I all the time stated in my health facility, it isn’t the announcing the previous announcing that you simply all the time heard you’re what you devour. It’s in fact you’re what you digest and soak up. So there have been a variety of other folks once more, as a result of they learn the books earlier than they got here or they met me at paleofx they usually have been already coming in consuming those actually excellent diets. However then I might do lab trying out on them to have a look at their minerals, to have a look at their nutrition stages, to appear intracellularly at what was once occurring. They usually weren’t getting the good thing about this. So you’ll be able to be consuming the most efficient nutrition on the planet. However in case you then can not digest and soak up it, when you have low abdomen acid and also you’re now not breaking down the proteins into amino acids, then you definitely’re now not soaking up it. When you don’t have what you wish to have to damage down carbs and fat, you is probably not soaking up it.
Or, you understand, when you have that after which it will get the entire manner down on your small gut and then you definitely’ve were given SIBO disrupting it, or you’ve got leaky intestine and then you definitely’re now not soaking up those. So I imply, the intestine, I all the time say is the basis and the gateway on your well being. I imply, in case your intestine isn’t functionally on all stages at an optimum degree, you’re both have already got issues otherwise you’re going to have issues. And for this reason as a result of I talk such a lot about this, despite the fact that I’ve written those different books, I believe other folks come to me for intestine as a result of I simply noticed it time and time once more, and those that had no digestive problems. I imply, individuals who got here in and stated, oh, no, no, I’m consuming this nice nutrition. You realize, I’ve two bowel actions an afternoon. I don’t have any fuel. I don’t have any bloating. I’m positive.
After which we do a complete stool check. We’d see their digestive enzymes are low. We’d see they’ve vegetable fibers of their stool. We see, you understand, we see their amino acids are low. And I may just see it in all of those purposeful labs, now not standard labs, however purposeful labs of the way, you understand, they idea that their intestine was once positive. They usually have been consuming this improbable nutrition, however with no need their pure inherent skill to damage down and digest and soak up issues, soak up their vitamins, they have been then poor in those.
And, you understand, with regards to mineral deficiency, I believe that that’s almost definitely twofold. One, our meals could be very other than it was once for our ancestors. There are lots of, many research that I do know you’re conscious about, of. You realize, our soil isn’t as nutrient dense because it was once earlier than. So then the crops arising out of the soil do not need the similar degree of vitamins they used to have. And on the other hand, we’re residing on this poisonous global, our guts are leaky. In order that’s resulting in mineral and nutrition deficiencies. And it’s frankly why I like to recommend everyone take a multivitamin day by day. I imply, I’ve an editorial in this about the entire causes everyone will have to be taking a multivitamin as a result of what we’re simply discussing, the soil, the nutrient degree in our meals, our leaky guts, our lack of ability to digest and soak up.
Katie: Yeah, I’m satisfied that you were given to give an explanation for that so comprehensively, as a result of I’ve puzzled if that is in fact any other lacking piece as a result of the depletion of our meals provide and why we’ll see individuals who seem to be in actually excellent well being who may have those random stipulations that appear to return out of nowhere. And it sort of feels like a minimum of a few of them may well be connected to mineral deficiencies that folks wouldn’t essentially even pay attention to. So I’m so satisfied that we were given to speak about that.
I’d additionally love to listen to any pointers that you’ll be able to simply form of most often give on your sufferers or that you’ll be able to give listed here are form of the 80/20 that transfer us towards optimum or that appear to be rather universally really helpful. One I’ve given on right here again and again, as an example, is the significance of pure mild, which is unfastened. I’ve spotted a large distinction even in my labs from getting morning daylight and just a little little bit of mid day, noon daylight each day, which is smart once we believe that our our bodies have {an electrical} part and that we’d like mild for such a lot of issues to occur inside our frame.
However I’m certain that you’ve a a lot more complete checklist. So for anyone who’s looking to transfer that needle towards optimum, what can be one of the vital issues on that checklist for you?
Dr Amy Myers: So I suppose once we have been speaking about toxins, I didn’t end my considered announcing that, you stated 80-20 and my thoughts simply went to the 80-20 rule. So let me cross to toxins after which I’ll discuss nutrition.
Toxins, so we now have a house, and I perceive now not everyone may have these items, however we now have a house air filtration machine, water filtration machine, all of this stuff that I mentioned, we best devour natural in our space. And that’s in order that once I cross out into the arena, I make the most efficient alternatives that I will be able to, however I acknowledge that I commute. I’ve a kid. We, you understand, I used to be telling you, we have been at a water park the day prior to this. They stated no outdoor meals. We introduced outdoor meals. I imply, we simply defined we now have a large number of meals sensitivities, proper? So we’re now not pressured to devour that meals, however then I’m in very chlorinated water, proper? I imply, I are living a existence, but when for your personal atmosphere, you’ll be able to regulate what you’ll be able to regulate, then you definitely cross out into the arena and also you do the most efficient that you’ll be able to. However there’s no technique to keep away from these items. And so I surely practice that more often than not. Like, you understand, be as strict as you’ll be able to in your house after which cross benefit from the global and do the most efficient you’ll be able to while you’re in the market.
Now, relating to nutrition, there are specific sides that I don’t, relating to auto-immunity and the hyperlink with gluten after which the molecular mimicry and the cross-reactivity of gluten with casein, I don’t suggest anyone with auto-immunity devour dairy or gluten. And so for me, the ones are non-negotiables it doesn’t matter what. When you had a gun to my head, I might now not devour gluten, or dairy, however so the ones aren’t negotiables. However once more, I do assume it is going again to what you have been announcing. When you’re consuming natural or when you have the freedom or as you’ve moved your manner down the autoimmune spectrum, it’s to not say I by no means devour sugar, it’s to not say I by no means devour corn, it’s to not say that I don’t ever devour grains or legumes. I’m in Texas, love some black beans and rice, however I do these items occasionally to the place that I do know once I’m ingesting my leaky intestine revive each day or, taking my enzymes once I cross out, I will be able to do these items, proper? I’m smartly, however I’ve gotten hit with poisonous mildew thrice in my existence now. And I’ve moved up that autoimmune spectrum. After which I’ve were given to get again to very obviously doing issues, um, in an overly planned manner and being far more cautious than once I’m smartly and will, can cross backtrack, down the spectrum.
So I don’t know if that totally replied your query or if you need me to consider another issues which might be unfastened. I imply, tension reduction most often is unfastened. My swimming is unfastened that I do. Hyperbarics is probably not, enjoying together with your kid, enjoying together with your pet, going outdoor in pure mild, sleep. I imply, the one other folks say, how do you do the whole thing that you simply do? Smartly, it’s best as a result of I do have a husband that if I want to, if there’s anything taking place with the canines or a daughter will get up in the course of the night time, I would like my sleep. If I don’t get my sleep, I transfer up that spectrum on autoimmunity. So sleep is unfastened. Perhaps everyone doesn’t have the similar toughen that I’ve, however sleep is a wonderful unfastened useful resource that permits your frame to heal and lets in your frame to detox. And I you should definitely the most efficient of my skill that I get a cast 8, if now not ten hours of sleep is what I want to actually be optimum in my existence.
Katie: Yeah, the virtually 700 other folks I’ve had in this podcast, I’m but to listen to a unmarried individual say sleep isn’t vital. It kind of feels like the one universally agreed upon factor. And such as you stated, sleep itself is unfastened. There’s quite a bit we will be able to do to optimize sleep, which I have a tendency to prioritize even in my funds as a result of we spend expectantly such a lot time snoozing that I think like adjustments we make there have advantages and sleep makes a majority of these different issues we’re speaking about so a lot more efficient as a result of your natural frame is in a position to like rebuild and heal all the way through sleep. So I really like that as a common tip, one who surely can’t be overstated. So I really like that you simply introduced that up.
And as we transfer towards the tip, a couple of questions I really like to invite. The primary being if there’s a e book or plenty of books that experience profoundly impacted you individually, and if that is so, what they’re and why.
Dr Amy Myers: Smartly, the person who I considered while you, I knew you have been gonna inquire from me this query was once M. Scott Peck’s The Street Much less Traveled. I assumed I sought after to be a scientific psychologist, however I learn that e book, in highschool, I consider. And I believe the item about it for me is my existence has been the street much less traveled. I imply, as you discussed, I used to be actually one of the vital originals again in purposeful drugs, talking about all of these things. And you have got to be courageous to try this. I imply, to be frank, I wrote an editorial simply actually quoting the CDC about issues it is advisable to do in lieu of a flu vaccine and were given reported to the scientific board. And it was once proper earlier than my first e book was once popping out.
I do really feel between the Peace Corps, the Chinese language herbs, conventional standard scientific faculty to then going to grow to be a purposeful drugs doctor that I’ve actually embodied that during my existence and simply inspire other folks to practice the street much less traveled. I imply, fortunately for other folks like your self, you’ve got helped get the phrase out and expand the message that purposeful drugs and different issues are to be had to other folks as a substitute of standard medication. So thanks very a lot for you following the street much less traveled and getting that out, however letting other folks know that you simply don’t want to be afraid to commute this highway much less traveled. And there can also be nice get advantages on the finish of it that doesn’t contain quite a lot of medication and a deficient high quality of existence. It in fact comes to possibly merely giving up a pair meals, including in some daylight, therapeutic your intestine. And you’ll be able to have an out of this world existence pain-free and drug-free.
Katie: I surely 2nd that e book advice. And in addition thanks to the paintings of you and such a lot of others who’ve helped make this message a lot more to be had to everybody in the market. I do know I listen from such a lot of mothers who at the moment are transferring into the purposeful drugs method with their households, which is actually encouraging for me to peer, as a result of I believe when the mothers get started making the shift, that’s when society actually begins to shift. And I do know you’re a mother as smartly. So I’m actually thankful for the paintings that you simply’ve achieved. And finally, any parting recommendation for the listeners as of late which may be associated with the whole thing we’ve mentioned or totally unrelated existence recommendation that you’ve discovered useful.
Dr Amy Myers: That may be a giant query. However I believe the one factor this is calling me at this second, and I don’t know in case you’ve achieved a podcast on hyperbaric, and I’m not at all a hyperbaric professional, however I will be able to simply talk to in case you’ve hit a plateau for your autoimmune adventure, and also you’ve been operating with a purposeful drugs doctor, and also you’ve adopted the issues that I’ve laid out as of late, and also you’re now not getting smartly, glance into hyperbaric, I’ve noticed probably the most profound, therapeutic from hyperbaric of a girl who was once in, I had a plateau with, she was once in a wheelchair and it simply known as me and I stated, cross do 20 periods of hyperbarics and get in touch with me again. And she or he was once strolling once more.
I actually were given to a plateau in my adventure at one level a number of years in the past, modified not anything, best were given into hyperbarics each day for just about a yr. All of my autoimmune markers went destructive, they’ve remained destructive. I then were given COVID, idea I used to be getting Lengthy Haul COVID, 5 periods into hyperbaric and it was once totally long past. And indubitably anyone coping with lengthy COVID, I might extremely suggest hyperbaric.
So, that’s, you understand, increasingly more puts are doping up that you’ll be able to cross form of like a sauna and pay for a person consultation. This isn’t a plug and you’ll be able to delete this, however you understand, I’ve an Oxy-Well being one and they’ve a hire to possess, you understand, scenario in case you are in dire want. And in order that, I don’t know, I used to be simply known as to mention that as a result of I think adore it’s anything that a large number of other folks aren’t speaking about now. And I’ve noticed some extremely profound, simply life-changing occasions with hyperbaric in case you hit a plateau, or simply as a part of your adventure of therapeutic, this is actually improbable.
Katie: Superior. Smartly, I do know you’ve discussed a number of of your books and merchandise as of late. I’ll make certain that hyperlinks to all of the ones are within the display notes for you guys. When you’re listening at the cross, that’s all at wellnessmama.fm.
