In this video I explain in great detail why autoimmune disease develops, there are several reasons and the great news is, something can be done about it.

The causes of autoimmune disease which have created stress on your immune system to the degree that it mistakes self tissue (you) from a bad guy, are as follows:
1. Leaky gut or inflammation
2. Gluten sensitivity
3 Toxins
4. Infections
5. Stress

Autoimmune disease is increasing dramatically in our society, but that trajectory doesn't have to continue. There are workable solutions and I discuss them in depth here.

If you are suffering with an autoimmune disease and like this approach, we'd be delighted to help. Consider contacting us for a consultation: call 727-335-0400.

Why do you feel dizzy or nauseous when you poop and is it normal?
It's not normal and it's called a vasovagal response.

Your vagus nerve gets irritated when you bear down and in response your heart rate goes down, your blood pressure goes down and you can feel nauseous or faint.

The reason why is constipation, even though you perhaps you haven't realized it. Many Americans are constipated and don't know it because their doctor has told them that skipping days is probably "normal" for them.

This isn't true. Normal bowel rhythm is 1 to 3 times per day of a soft, formed, easy to pass bowel resulting in full evacuation.

Bearing down is troublesome as it can irritate the vasovagal response we've just discussed but it can also cause a hiatal hernia which in itself further irritates your vagus nerve as it encircles your esophagus. This can cause acid reflux, heart palpitations, mood swings, anxiety and more.

It's a combination of factors which must all be addressed to not only take the pressure off your vagus nerve, but to normalize your digestive tract, which in turn will handle the symptoms we've just discussed.

If you've been trouble with this and want to feel good again, consider calling us for a consultation: call 727-335-0400. We're here to help!

Regarding your healthcare, are you a lion or a lamb?
A lamb goes docilely along taking whatever drugs your doctor gives you, never questioning if there's a better way, or more importantly, WHY you got this way and what can be done to resolve it.

A lion is more aggressive, asks questions, doesn't take advice on face value.
Our healthcare model is pharmaceutically drives, very siloed, meaning every symptom is treated individually with individual drugs.

No one is looking at the root cause of why your various symptoms have occurred.
In Root Cause Medicine we appreciate your body's ability to heal and we feel that it is our job to unburden your body from whatever is preventing healing from occurring. That is very different from "managing" symptoms, or band-aiding them with drug after drug after drug, never identifying the reason underlying your symptoms.

Now a lion would ask questions about the drugs and the lion wouldn't just take every drug handed out but instead try to find a clinician who listened and agreed that a solution needed to be found. And platitudes like "you're just getting older", or "you're under stress" wouldn't be accepted as reasons - because they aren't.

Stop being a lamb. Demand the right to know what's happening and your body and what can be done about it.

Your body is strong and it loves to heal. It just has to be given the chance to.
If you're tired of feeling terrible and you're ready to improve your health, we'd be happy to meet with you for a consultation: call us at 727-335-0400. We're here to help!
