Poop. Did you know that what lands in your toilet every day is the most honest report card your body will ever hand you? In episode 429, I’ll answer all the poop, constipation, and gut health questions you’ve always wanted to ask, and we’re going to do it rapid-fire because you sent in so many. Here’s what most people never realize: a large proportion of your poop is living and dead bacteria, not the food you ate.

Questions I’ll answer: Is asthma really a lung disease… or an overreactive immune system firing from somewhere else entirely?

In this episode, I break down the real reasons we feel pain in the first place, why the most popular over-the-counter painkillers are quietly making your pain worse the longer you take them, and the smarter, natural tools I reach for with my own patients. From ice versus heat, to Epsom salt baths, to the surprising gut connection behind migraines, I’ll show you how to work with your body’s signals instead of blasting through them. Because when you understand that pain is information, you stop a
