So when I was young , actually , particularly in my early twenties , I developed a lot of G I issues myself . And after I'd been to every medical specialist , someone had referred me to an acupuncturist and this person had actually given me a compounded formula from traditional Chinese medicine that had made such a big difference . In the next 30 days .
One is that the gut plays a functional role in actually how well your brain functions , cognitive function , neurodegenerative diseases , but even issues like inflammation or small intestine bacterial overgrowth that so many people complain about today . I'm Dr Alex , he doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine . Doctor Alex .
Well , technically , I'd have to have your whole medical history . So today , what we can do is we'll do some moxibustion which helps improves blood flow and circulation , feels warm but not like uncomfortable . So I know we didn't really do a full treatment .
About eight years ago , uh I started experiencing a number of issues with my skin . Um with my health specifically , I was having inflammation and pain from some of the traditional skincare products that I was using . And I was also taking a 22 week program on the conservation and taxonomy of animals and plants .
In the next 30 days . I actually ended up living in China and that became this Odyssey of where I am today . Are there any foods that cause more gut issues than others ?
