Summary

We speak frequently about the importance of an evidence-informed, gut-first approach for addressing chronic symptoms both inside and outside the GI tract. And the more research and clinical experience we compile, the more we find that a wide range of concerns can be improved by looking at them through the lens of gut health.

On this podcast, I summarize clinical reviews and case studies from the June 2021 issue of the Future of Functional Medicine Clinical Newsletter that treat mold toxicity and environmental illness by addressing diet, GI health, and thyroid.

I discuss a case study of a patient with psoriatic arthritis that was resolved in a month, a review of studies highlighting the role of diet and supplements for treating IBD, and new findings about the symptomatology and treatment of Blastocystis hominis.

0:44.9	welcome back to another episode of Dr. Rucho Radio. This is Dr. Rucho, and today let's jump in on a number of
0:52.2	updates from the research and also a case study and really kind

1:04.1	medicine review.
1:05.1	We'll go over a case study where there was resolution of psoriotic arthritis pain in
1:10.5	a month.
1:11.6	And really importantly regarding this case study,
1:14.6	there was other findings, namely with metals and mold,
1:18.6	that could have let us down the rabbit hole of pursuing those.
1:23.6	However, even though those were positive,
1:26.6	the symptoms were largely resolved via gut care.
1:31.4	So another good evidence point for why we place so much emphasis on the gut first, because it seems to have the highest probability of resolving symptoms.
1:41.7	And when we look at that in juxtaposition to the fact that some
1:45.7	fair amount actually of functional medicine testing is still being worked out in terms of its
1:50.8	validity and its utility, then we want to make sure to start where we're going to have the
1:56.3	highest return on time and energy invested, hence the gut.
2:01.9	We'll also go into a review on how mycotoxin or just mold exposure can manifest as a
