With Karen Purcell.
"Death begins in the bowel" is a favorite slogan of many natural medicine practitioners, who view digestive problems as the root of most health imbalances. Without excellent absorption and elimination the intestines can become toxic, resulting in such ailments as bloating, gas, joint pain, insomnia, nausea, and heartburn; other aggravating conditions that can develop are memory loss, eczema, allergies, emotional problems, asthma, long-term immune weakness, etc.. When digestion is impaired for a long time, illnesses can become intractable.
In this series, a leading naturopathic physician will share her insights into how to enhance our digestion for better health. The topics covered will include: what, how and when to eat; the gluten-free frenzy; the links between stress, emotions and elimination (i.e. the "gut-brain connection"); addressing such illnesses as Type 2 Diabetes and Candidiasis (yeast); and much more.
