You treat SIBO. You feel better. Then the symptoms come back. The next question shouldnโ€™t beโ€ฆ โ€œWhat should we treat it with this time?โ€ It should beโ€ฆ. โ€œWhat is causing this to happen again and again?โ€

Useful questions for your clinician or you to think about? Is the original diagnosis still the best explanation? Could impaired motility be contributing? And other pieces? Are there underlying conditions we should investigate? What is the plan if symptoms return?

The goal isnโ€™t to avoid treatment or say antimicrobials donโ€™t work; they do, BUTโ€ฆ.. The better question to ask: will it stick, and will this โ€œprotocolโ€ have a fair chance based on your overall health and cards being played. Sometimes optimising your health can be counterintuitive and requires one step back to go two steps forward.

Thyroid hormone output, governed by T4, has a half-life of 5-7 days. The thyroid is closely connected to so many systems, including the brain, gut, adrenals, nutrients, light, sleep, and more. Just saying to take iodine or T3 is bogus.

Seeing clients as a test number or marker is invalid and mediocre medicine.

Sometimes the benefits of daily steps are not in the number but in where the steps are taken.

7. It's strongest when combined with other disciplines. Quantum biophysics, evolutionary biology, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, dental/oral health, biostructure, breathwork, movement and more. Together, they give a much fuller picture than any single approach

This is my experience when I was learning in the UK. Additionally I am sure this happens in the US. Especially companies like Full Script, which have now moved to testing. Major businesses are sniffing out vulnerable people, as most nutritionists have poor health to begin with, blue light fried and take all the supplements and testing under the sun

4. "Test, don't guess" can miss the point. It ends up treating numbers, not people.

6. It's still a step in the right direction. Real food and lifestyle as medicine are the foundation.

5. Most of it barely scratches the surface. Researchers like Jeff Leach, who studied the gut microbiome of the Hadza hunter gatherers in Tanzania, challenge much of what we think a "healthy" microbiome looks like.

3. The education is sponsored. Most practitioner training is run by the companies selling the tests and supplements. The irony.

2. So are supplements. Easy money, straight into the back pocket.

1. Testing is often a sales funnel. Many practitioners earn commission on the tests they order.
