In this episode host Lindsey Parsons talks with naturopath Dr. Joseph Klassen of Fish Creek Naturopathic Medicine from Calgary, Albert, Canada. They discuss the importance of bile and the appendix in the digestive process, healthy oils, food sensitivities (testing for them, most common ones and their interaction with autoimmunity), the importance of butyrate in a healthy gut, the interaction between hormones and the gut, colon hydrotherapy, gut cleansing protocols, how to rebuild a healthy gut after antimicrobials and the reason we use herbs in food. Lindsey Parsons, your host, helps clients solve gut issues and reverse autoimmune disease naturally. Take my quiz to see which stool or functional medicine test will help you find out what’s wrong.
