So let’s leap in with Dr. Amy Myers. Dr. Amy, welcome. Thanks a lot for being right here.
Dr Amy Myers: Thanks for having me, Katie. I’m tremendous excited.
Katie: Me too, I really feel like this dialog is lengthy overdue and I’m extraordinarily excited to study from you immediately. I feel to begin off broad, some background on you may truly be essentially the most useful place to begin for this dialog since you’ve stated that typical medication failed you and also you’re on a mission to maintain it from failing different individuals. And I feel your story illustrates a very profound motive why you do the work that you just do. So let’s begin there. How did you get into this, what’s now your complete world and this work that you just do?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, effectively, it’s a really lengthy story, however to make it brief, I grew up with dad and mom that had been very holistic. My father was a professor of Asian research. My mom taught yoga and jogged again within the 70s. And so if we had been ever sick, which was very not often, he took Chinese language herbs. My mom was very acquainted with the microbiome, made home made yogurt once we had been little, home made complete wheat bread. So I form of grew up with this. My mom taught yoga, meditation, despatched me to Transcendental Meditation once I was in highschool. So I form of grew up in a, I wouldn’t classify them as hippies, however simply form of, you recognize, that sort of world.
And I went to varsity, thought I used to be gonna be a psychologist on the finish, determined that I wasn’t gonna try this and have become a banker of all issues. After which learn a e book referred to as, The Highway Much less Traveled, it actually resonated with me about form of going on the market and never doing what all people else is doing. And for no matter motive, I all the time had a ardour to offer and to assist. And so I joined the Peace Corps truly once I was 25. And on my means right down to the Peace Corps, I learn a e book by Andrew Weil, Spontaneous Therapeutic, and it acquired me reinvigorated by way of pure therapeutic, herbs, issues like that. Taught myself yoga down within the Peace Corps.
Lengthy story brief, got here again and determined I wished to be a physician. I truly moved out to Seattle to go to probably naturopathic medical college. And after working with some medical doctors there, realized that even in Seattle, the traditional medical doctors and the naturopathic medical doctors had been getting paid otherwise and simply considered otherwise. And I assumed, effectively, that is sort of odd as a result of I’m out within the place the place they’ve this college and so they’re purported to be actually revered. And so anyway, I made the choice to go to allopathic medical college, however with the concept I’d find yourself doing one thing holistic, pure on the finish of all of it. So I took all my electives of an integrative medication. I began a complimentary and various curiosity group. We even began a program on the college. I went to LSU in New Orleans.
And my second 12 months of medical college, I began getting panic assaults. I used to be shedding pounds quickly whereas consuming, you recognize, Ezekiel bread and vegan butter at evening, to not get up, two kilos thinner. And eventually had this tremor that despatched me to the physician and she or he brushed me off and stated, oh, that is medical college stress. Your second 12 months, you’re studying all these ailments and also you simply assume you may have all of them. And I stated, wait a minute. I imply, I actually lived in the midst of nowhere earlier than cell telephones or something within the Peace Corps. My mom had died unexpectedly of pancreatic most cancers in 4 months proper after I acquired again from the Peace Corps. It’s like, I don’t deal with stress like this. This isn’t stress, one thing’s fallacious with me.
So I demanded a workup and she or he referred to as me again a few weeks later and I don’t assume she actually apologized and she or he stated, oh, you may have Graves’ illness, which is an autoimmune dysfunction of your thyroid. And that was what was responsible for all of my signs, the insomnia, the burden loss, all the tremor, the whole lot. And so I used to be given three horrible selections. One was to have my thyroid blown up like Hiroshima. The opposite was to take actually poisonous medicine. And the opposite one was to have my thyroid minimize out.
So I went again to my roots and I did Chinese language medication for a few months and I didn’t actually see a distinction in that. In the meantime, I used to be consuming a number of gluten and vegan cheeses. I used to be a vegetarian and on and off vegan for 27 years. After which finally I succumbed and I stated, all proper, I’ll take the medicine. It appears to be the lesser of all of those evils. Inside a few weeks, I used to be feeling horrible. My pores and skin was dry, my hair was falling out, I used to be fatigued. Went again to the physician and I used to be instructed that I used to be one in one million and I had poisonous hepatitis from the medicine. So I rapidly needed to get off of that. I almost needed to drop out of medical college as a result of I needed to go get in mattress and my liver was destroying itself from this medicine, and principally had to determine was I then gonna have my thyroid blown up or have it ripped out surgically.
I reached out to Andrew Weil, I appeared in all of the analysis, I may discover nothing that gave me another or pure strategy to this. So I made the toughest choice of my life and I had my thyroid radioactively ablated.
And after that, I used to be nonetheless in medical college. I graduated, I grew to become an ER doctor at Shock Trauma in Maryland, after which finally an ER doctor right here in Austin, Texas. And… Sooner or later I simply stated, I’ve acquired to get again to my roots. I imply, although they, typical medication, handled my graves by blowing up my thyroid, and now I don’t have a thyroid, there’s gotta be one thing higher. I’ve gotta get again to. I went to medical college within the first place.
So I went to a convention about purposeful medication, which is actually attending to the basis of why you may have sure situations, notably autoimmunity and determining tips on how to appropriate imbalances at that route and finally hopefully reversing or therapeutic, no matter’s occurring with you. So that actually resonated with me and why I wished to go to medical college to start with. And so I dove straight in and ultimately opened up a world famend purposeful medication clinic.
I left the ER, wrote a number of books, that are behind me and, and, you recognize, went full power into purposeful medication and now helped actually a whole lot of 1000’s of individuals all over the world, however actually 1000’s of individuals with Graves illness reverse their situation and never should do what I did. In order that’s why I say it’s my typical medication failed me and is my mission to not have it fail you too. In order that was a little bit of a protracted story, however that’s how I acquired to changing into a purposeful medication doctor after which finally now proudly owning a well being and wellness firm. As you recognize, Amy Myers MD.
Katie: Oh, and there’s so many particular instructions I need to go on this, as a result of I do know there are a lot of individuals listening who’ve some type of auto-immunity or thyroid points. There are positively individuals going by intestine points. And I additionally know that there are in all probability some frequent themes that run all through quite a lot of these issues. So I’d love to speak first about what you see as a few of the large triggers or contributors to the rise throughout the board in quite a lot of these issues that we’re seeing actually in America, however in different elements of the world as effectively.
Dr Amy Myers: So by way of all persistent situations and autoimmunity, so I write about in my first e book, the autoimmune resolution, I used to be the individual that coined the phrase, the autoimmune spectrum. So by that’s, you may have somebody down right here with little to no irritation, and you then’re working your means up greater on the spectrum with extra irritation all the way in which to full blown persistent autoimmunity.
Now there are in all probability only a few individuals have completely no irritation as we all know, infants are being born with toxins and whatnot on the earth, however most of us sit someplace on this spectrum all the way in which as much as persistent illness or persistent autoimmunity. And there are 5 elements that I write about in each of my books, and that’s toxins, infections, our intestine, leaky intestine, meals, since our food plan, and stress. And so I can stroll by every of those and the way they’ve actually all of those areas have exploded for many people. We all know that there are extra toxins on the earth than there’ve ever been, proper? We all know that now research with wire blood that there are a lot of, many toxins already in utero when a child is born. So, and people toxins are growing every day. And if you need, we will get into why that’s.
We’re, you recognize, quite a lot of kids are already being, infants are being born with leaky guts. Extra kids are being born with C-sections. Extra mothers are getting antibiotics, you recognize, when in utero and getting these toxins, consuming a food plan that’s inflammatory. So infants are already being born with, you recognize, little intestine microbiome or a disturbed microbiome with C-sections and simply, you recognize, how we’re going by the world.
Our food plan, we, you recognize, processed meals. We had been simply at a giant water park yesterday and looking out round, I imply, the variety of those who I noticed that had been simply in weight. And I imply, I’m not even speaking trying match was only a few. So we’re already, you recognize, we’re many, many individuals in our society now are simply consuming very inflammatory diets with these overly processed meals. As you recognize, the wheat has been modified. And so there’s extra gluten in our wheat. There’s roundup in our meals. And so we’re already having inflammatory meals. Leaky guys had been having extra toxins.
We’re dwelling in a wired world. Now we have EMFs bombarding as we’ve got our cell telephones on always had been out there. The stressors going through us daily of simply elevated as effectively. After which infections increasingly infections, proper? I imply, we noticed, you recognize, with the pandemic with Covid. I imply, we’ve got these Infections, whether or not they’re viruses, the Parasites, their micro organism, they’re changing into tremendous bugs, they’re changing into reactivated, they’re changing into, you recognize, they’re dwelling inside ourselves and probably getting reactivated over time. How many individuals are you aware which have had COVID a number of occasions? So what’s that doing to our immune methods?
And definitely, I hope on this dialog, we’ll get into the options as a result of I’d by no means prefer to, inform individuals large, scary ideas and that, and simply to get them overwhelmed as a result of I’m actually a options oriented individual.
However these are the issues that I see which can be actually contributing to autoimmunity and simply persistent irritation that’s resulting in, weight problems that’s resulting in… dysregulation of our metabolism that’s resulting in diabetes, you recognize, all of those very persistent and admittedly preventable ailments that we’ve got now.
Katie: Yeah, such as you, I feel this can be a very multifaceted downside. And I like that you just take a multifaceted strategy as a result of I’ve seen many individuals wanna concentrate on simply a kind of areas. And definitely if it had been simply food plan, I take a look at the info and say like, our diets truly haven’t modified sufficient to justify the rise in weight problems, even alone or diabetes. There’s clearly many elements contributing, but additionally I do know, and I do know you converse to this lots as effectively. Such as you stated, there are a lot of options and there nonetheless is capacity to reside optimally when you may have the data to do this.
I additionally really feel such as you had been forward of the pattern, you and your dad and mom with the meditation facet, you talked about stress being a giant issue. And never that that’s by any means a cure-all, however I’d say the overwhelming majority of people that come on this podcast even talked about meditation as being a very precious software. And we all know that like psychological well being and mindset additionally impacts our bodily physique and the analysis appears to only enhance on that. I’d guess many individuals can also resonate with even your story of getting to demand a workup out of your physician. I hear from so many mothers and girls who know one thing’s fallacious and are disregarded. I had the identical expertise being instructed the whole lot’s advantageous, your thyroid is regular and having to demand very particular checks to even get a solution.
After which from there to determine options largely alone, as a result of I didn’t have a you shut by in my early phases that might assist me get there extra rapidly. So I like that we now have a lot extra data and folks such as you who’re serving to individuals get particular focused data. I’d like to go slightly deeper past, I like as an example, that you just outline autoimmunity as a spectrum. I feel that’s a very useful software versus a easy sure or no, do or don’t sort of reply.
However then inside that, there are such a lot of classes of autoimmunity. So are there frequent causes that may sort of present up within the physique otherwise based mostly on genetics as an example, or do issues appear to line up with like particular triggers creating extra particular kinds of autoimmunity?
Dr Amy Myers: It is a nice query. I imply, the analysis reveals that, you recognize, actually solely 20% is genetic based mostly. I imply, again within the day, we thought as all of us, I’m certain you’ve talked many occasions in your podcast about epigenetics. You had this gene, you bought this illness. We now know that these genes might be turned on and off, and these SNPs. And we all know that individuals, even with out the genes for Celiac, can truly get Celiac. So it’s not all in regards to the genes. In truth, about 75% of it’s these environmental elements that I simply talked about. And in order that’s truly essentially the most empowering a part of all of this, is that’s in your management.
And that’s actually what I speak about in all of my books is about, as an alternative of getting laden by all of this data, take into consideration that, two thirds or three fourths of it’s in your management and issues that you are able to do to vary, which is how we’re capable of reverse autoimmunity.
So again to the autoimmune, I imply, I may see three individuals with, let’s simply say Hashimoto’s or Graves. And the explanation that these three individuals have that very same illness may very well be for vastly totally different causes. One may actually simply have a gluten sensitivity and leaky intestine and we get them off gluten, heal their intestine and their antibodies are reversing for Hashimoto’s.
The opposite may very well be that they’re in a, very demanding relationship and a horrible job and stress is their largest set off and so they even have a gluten sensitivity. After which the third individual may have all 5 of them. I imply, I do know that all through my lifetime and issues have come and gone, I positively had all 5. And by the point I used to be seeing individuals with seven, eight autoimmune situations, in fact they often had all 5.
However in typical medication, as we’re taught to listen to a illness, title the illness, give a drug, we’re not even thought to ask about what’s occurring or search for the deeper root trigger. However even when we had been, I’m certain they’d be saying, oh, effectively, it’s Hashimoto’s and these are your solely causes. And it’s merely not true. I imply, I noticed it day in and time out in my clinic of simply, how persons are coming.
Now, I’d say based mostly on the literature and the analysis of Alessio Fasano, given gluten and autoimmunity and the speculation behind molecular mimicry, and in case your listeners don’t know what that’s, I’m comfortable to enter it, I do advocate that everyone who’s on the spectrum has antibodies or has truly been recognized with autoimmunity get off of gluten due to these cross-reactivity on this molecular mimicry. It’s so very sturdy, notably with thyroid situations or autoimmune thyroid situations. In order that’s why I did point out gluten in every of these examples as a result of the correlation is so excessive that I do advocate all people who has autoimmunity be off of gluten.
Katie: That is smart. And definitely like my dad and mom, as an example, have observed that change themselves as they’ve gotten older and so they benefited from going off gluten. Although I do hear from lots of people that discover in sure different locations on the earth, they really appear to do exactly advantageous with sure meals that they can’t eat within the U.S. And I’m curious in case you’ve had expertise with that and if you recognize any of the the explanation why is the meals provide that totally different somewhere else in comparison with the U.S.?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, so I too have heard that and I’ve traveled to Europe however due to my historical past and what I do know, I don’t tempt destiny and I don’t eat gluten once I’m overseas. I actually heard that point and time once more from sufferers in my clinic that they did that. However I additionally had a lady who was recognized with polymyositis and she or he was doing very effectively. After which she went to Europe and she or he ate a bunch of gluten and didn’t really feel prefer it affected her however then she got here again and had a really large flare. So if you’re recognized with full-blown autoimmunity, I nonetheless wouldn’t advocate that you just try this. Nonetheless, the speculation behind that is that they’ve a lot, let’s simply take Europe for instance, a lot stricter legal guidelines about utilizing Roundup, about genetically modifying their meals. They’re utilizing historical grains. They’re not utilizing the identical degree of pesticides. Basically, they’re consuming a more healthy food plan however apparently the wheat is extra of our historical wheat.
And simply to remind your listeners, so what occurred with our wheat is we didn’t modify it. We hybridized it. And once we hybridized it, it meant that this may very well be develop heartier, it may develop larger however it additionally had extra gluten in our wheat. And in order that’s actually a part of the issue is, and you then add Roundup on prime of it, which is meant to, you recognize, enhance the permeability of your mind, your intestine, all the toxins with Roundup disrupt your microbiome, then we actually have this downside, proper? I imply, it’s not, it’s that our wheat has extra gluten in it, it’s that it’s stuffed with Roundup, it’s that we’re dwelling with leaky guts, most of us, after which we’re consuming a lot extra gluten.
So it’s in the whole lot, not simply bread. It’s from our shampoos to the a lot of the sushi that has crab meat in it isn’t actual crab meat, it’s truly a glutinous, you recognize, it’s truly all gluten to create this mock crab meat, for instance. So we’re simply getting uncovered on so many alternative ranges and in such a extra intense means than our dad and mom or actually our grandparents or nice grandparents.
Katie: And I’d like to now begin going by out of your ethos, the answer targeted form of information and contact factors of a few of these totally different situations. As a result of like I stated, I do know many individuals listening have or are experiencing a few of them.
And I’d say going in a single unrelated tip that I all the time give at first of this dialog is I discovered to shift my, even my speech and the way I discuss to myself from as an alternative of claiming, “I’ve Hashimoto’s”, I’d say “I’m therapeutic from Hashimoto’s” simply because I really feel just like the mindset is a big piece as effectively. However on that word, I really feel prefer it’s actually useful to have the instruments to understand how we’re going to heal from these numerous issues.
And also you’ve talked about intestine well being as a foundational factor to quite a lot of totally different situations. So I’d love to begin there and listen to out of your perspective, what are a few of the key issues that individuals want to concentrate on and keep away from in terms of intestine well being? And what are a few of the key form of universally useful issues we will do to enhance our intestine well being?
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, if I’ll digress to 1 story that hints to your speaks to your chatting with your self and it’s a very highly effective story of a lady in my clinic who had vitiligo and she or he had. She had moved right here from Africa and she or he labored and she or he had been beneath a really abusive excessive state of affairs and was capable of come into the nation due to that. After which she felt her want to offer again to the individuals of her nation that had been additionally my immigrating into, into america was to be an interpreter.
And what I discovered from talking together with her was that she needed to, as an interpreter in a courtroom of legislation, you need to say, I this and I that not they, you need to be the individual to interpret. And so what I spotted after going by many visits with this girl and never making quite a lot of progress is that I assumed that she was taking up every of these individuals’s tales by saying, I, I this, I that. So she was reliving, although it was their trauma, she was reliving it as if it was her personal trauma. And I recommended that she wanted to surrender her profession or her job. She didn’t take that frivolously, however anyway, about six months later, she referred to as again or emailed me again and stated that she lastly did and her vitiligo was beginning to resolve. So it’s simply chatting with what you had been saying and the ability of the thoughts of setting your self up for these, setting your physique, making ready your physique in any respect ranges, making ready yourselves for therapeutic. And that journey might be very totally different for everybody.
So again to the intestine. Properly, let me say that I’ve 4 pillars within the Myers means, which is this system that I got here up with after working with tens of 1000’s of sufferers. And the primary one is to eliminate gluten, grains and legumes. And I discussed the molecular mimicry with gluten grains. I do know legumes, you’ve in all probability talked about this extensively, can have anti-nutrient properties. They will have lectins in them, issues that may irritate the intestine. I used to be a vegetarian for 27 years. I imply, I had quite a lot of intestine dysbiosis occurring.
After which there are infections resembling Candida, SIBO which can be consumed carbs, even when they’re wholesome carbs as beans and rice and issues like that. So I do advocate that individuals give this stuff up, gluten indefinitely, however the grains and legumes, at the least for days or longer until they begin, heal your intestine after which we will dive into you particularly. There’s a 4 hour program with therapeutic your intestine and we’ll dive into that and the specifics that I take advantage of.
Then we need to tame the toxins and that’s actually about, look we reside in a poisonous world. So I like to recommend if you’ll be able to, to create an surroundings at house, at your workplace, wherever you’re spending most time, that filters these. How can we get toxins? Properly, we breathe them in, we get them in by our pores and skin and we ingest them in. So having HEPA air filters in your house in case you can, having water filtration not simply at your faucet but additionally you recognize in your showers, utilizing all-natural toxin-free cleansing merchandise and wonder merchandise after which you recognize ensuring you’re consuming natural. So did I get by pores and skin, breathe, yeah okay.
And you then need to work to get them out, that’s my two-step course of. So that you need to, how do you get them out? You pee them out, you poop them out, you sweat them out. So that you need to be sure to’re peeing and pooping daily, you need to be sure to’re exercising or doing infrared sauna, one thing to sweat daily in case you can. After which you recognize I take advantage of two dietary supplements that in fact we’ve got glutathione and coconut charcoal. So acetylated glutathione, it is advisable be sure that it’s acetylated. Some individuals use liposomal, I examined all of them in my clinic. I desire an acetylated glutathione for me personally and what I noticed discovered work greatest. After which you recognize in order that pulls the toxins out after which one thing like coconut charcoal goes to bind it. So peeing, pooping, sweating each single day.
Then we need to relieve our stress. I don’t say, you recognize, eliminate your stress or, you recognize, as a result of we reside in a demanding world and you’ll’t simply say, okay, I’m not gonna be pressured. You’ve acquired to search out methods to offer pause. So I’ve relieve stress and heal infections. And relieving stress is actually in regards to the issues that we talked about. And look, I discovered meditation, you recognize, 30-something years in the past and I don’t all the time try this daily. So it’s discovering what works for you, proper? I imply, is {that a} stroll for me? I do quite a lot of swimming. It’s the one place, hyperbaric and swimming, it’s the one place no one can trouble me and get to me. So these are large stress relievers for me, however it is advisable discover what works for you, your downtime.
After which the infections are these persistent infections resembling Epstein-Barr, herpes, these latent infections that may reactivate a persistent Lyme and coping with these infections. And, you recognize, I can undergo some methods if you need for these as effectively.
In order that’s the 4 pillars. After which again to therapeutic your intestine, which is among the main elements of one of many second pillar of the 4 pillar program. And there’s form of the 4R strategy, which I’m certain you’ve had lots of people speaking about. However once more, the very first thing is to take away. And what are you eradicating? It’s again to those meals. You wanna take away gluten, you wanna dairy. Gluten and dairy are the 2 most inflammatory meals, however sugars, processed meals, meals dyes, GMOs, I imply, you need to get this stuff out of your food plan.
And most significantly, you wanna take away any infections which can be in your intestine. And that is totally different than these persistent infections. That is SIBO, Candida, Parasites. And definitely when you’ve got auto-immunity, very uncommon, I noticed anybody that didn’t have one or each of these. And so they’ve now change into, in case you’re on social media, all people’s speaking about SIBO and Candida. I imply, again once I was, you recognize, you talked about I used to be one of many originals. I imply, I used to be, I imply, again once I was speaking about these items 10-15 years in the past, there weren’t many individuals speaking about this. And I noticed it extensively in my clinic, eliminating SIBO, eliminating Candida. We will additionally stroll by how, you recognize, I’m comfortable to share precisely how to do this.
And you then need to exchange something that’s lacking. So are you low in abdomen acid? Lots of people are, you recognize, they’ve been taking acid blockers. You want that acid to kill off Parasites. You want that acid to kill off SIBO, to kill off Candida. You want that acid, in fact, to interrupt down your proteins and the remainder of your meals. Do you want digestive enzymes? Lots of people are low of their digestive enzymes as a result of they’ve been consuming horrible persistent diets, or they’ve been on persistent PPIs, or different medicines which have, you recognize, prevented their precise, you recognize, their pancreas and their gallbladder from truly working. So I changed these issues. Generally that’s quickly, generally that’s, you recognize, very long-term, however quite a lot of occasions as individuals start to heal, they will get off of those dietary supplements. However in my expertise, it’s, it’s, you recognize, it may be, you recognize, intensive on the, you recognize, complement and dietary life-style change at first. After which, you recognize, as you progress down the spectrum, you possibly can see the place you possibly can unlock.
You need to… you need to re-inoculate with an excellent prime quality, excessive dose probiotic. Now, in case you’re coping with Candida, I like to recommend we’ve got 100 billion unit probiotic. If you happen to’re coping with SIBO although, I like to recommend a soil-based probiotic as a result of SIBO is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and that may usually be an overgrowth of lactobacillus. And most traditional probiotics or prime quality, no matter, have lactobacillus in them and ours do as a result of it’s the primary micro organism in our intestine. And in order that’s the place I differ on these two.
After which we truly need to, take away, reinoculate, effectively, I suppose restore. And I’m doing that usually. Your intestine cells flip over each 24-48 hours. So that they’re gonna restore usually on their very own. However I sometimes advocate that individuals do one thing to assist this course of jumpstart this course of. And we’ve got a product referred to as Leaky Intestine Revive. It’s truly one in every of our primary merchandise. And it’s 3000 milligrams of L-glutamine, which is the amino acid that helps your cells rejuvenate, but additionally what we’ve got within the product is quite a lot of various things that aid you to provide mucus. So if you concentrate on your intestine, what’s it? I imply, it’s a mucus membrane. And lots of people are lacking that mucus or have the mucus degree has been disturbed. So it’s slippery elm, marshmallow root, Deglycyrrhizinated licorice to assist your physique create extra mucus in the whole GI tract.
And so these are the 4 issues that I do to assist restore your intestine well being. And sometimes the subsequent query is, do I’ve to do this stuff perpetually? You already know, it actually is determined by the place you’re trying and the place you’re on that spectrum. And, you recognize, I take Leaky Intestine Revive, many, many days of the week. We reside in a poisonous world and I simply, you recognize, to maintain myself in addition to a probiotic and digestive enzyme, so.
Katie: Yeah. So I took so many notes on that. I like additionally that you just speak about that simplification course of that always it’s the taking away of the publicity and it’s not typically that we’ve got to essentially accomplish that many sophisticated issues as soon as we perceive the issue.
And that I like additionally that you just discuss a lot in regards to the physique form of being designed to heal and that it regenerates and that it’s meant to maneuver towards therapeutic if we help it in doing that. And that story you instructed about her internal discuss might be essentially the most profound instance I’ve heard of that. That’s unbelievable.
Additionally from a intestine well being perspective, I’d love your sort of verify or deny from a physician’s perspective. There’s additionally been on like Instagram and TikTok, quite a lot of circulating speak about how we want variety in what we do eat to assist sort of tradition the proper steadiness of intestine micro organism. So that you talked about avoiding the triggers like gluten and dairy and legumes, but additionally it looks as if quite a lot of us are consuming sort of only a very slender vary of plant meals and that we will profit from a wider vary of greens and vegetation and spices which have totally different advantages. Do you agree with that evaluation and issues like fermented meals being useful as effectively?
Dr Amy Myers: Yep, so the brief reply is sure, and I’ll get to fermented meals in a second, and if I get off on a tangent, please remind me. However so yeah, I imply, and likewise there’s even, relying on the place your ancestry’s from as to what microbiota is likely to be in several proportions inside your intestine, in your microbiome. So individuals who reside in Asia or descendants of Asia, Africa versus United States, are you principally European? There are ancestrally totally different microbiota, and so there are a lot of checks. I don’t know in case you’re related to one like microbiome or Viome or some other place, so when you’ve got one that you just advocate. Look, they’re all, it’s fairly new analysis, so there’s quite a lot of debate about how correct this stuff are. They are often useful although, however not solely would you like variety inside your personal intestine, you wanna just remember to’re getting the range that’s meant to your ancestral historical past.
And in order that may be very sophisticated, and understanding that, and so utilizing a few of these checks, I feel that they are often good as a information. And sure, if we’re trying again to how we ate, our ancestors ate, they didn’t have the, as you recognize, stroll into the grocery retailer or Instacart and have somebody ship your contemporary berries to you all 12 months spherical. We ate a a lot wider number of a food plan and we stopped and began numerous issues relying on once they had been in season. And that allowed for variety simply inherently since you ate what was out there to you. So sure, I imply, look, all of us, even these of us on this world, proper, the place I consider I’m, actually we’re busy, we’re creatures of habits, we all know what we like. It’s tremendous simple, you pick meal plans and also you repeat them again and again. However sure, ideally we’d all be consuming much more variety.
Again to the fermented meals, I consider that I differ right here than many individuals. And this once more is predicated on my expertise as a clinician working with 1000’s of sufferers, which is since most individuals, at the least that I noticed with auto-immunity had been coming in with SIBO and Candida, I don’t advocate fermented meals proper off the bat. And this was a really, you recognize, paleo fx. I feel that’s the place you and I truly met, you recognize, and I spoke there for a lot of, a few years, and I’d all the time have individuals come as much as me afterwards and say, I began consuming all these fermented meals as a result of all people right here is telling me to do this. And I acquired all this fuel and all this bloating and I really feel depressing.
Properly, fermented meals is supposed to, I like to think about your intestine sort of like as a fish bowl. And it’s fish meals to feed all of the fish, that are the great micro organism and micro organism, I imply, unhealthy micro organism. You may have good micro organism, unhealthy micro organism, slightly little bit of yeast, possibly some Parasites in your intestine. In an excellent world, it’s dwelling there harmoniously in an ideal steadiness. When this stuff get out of steadiness, in case you’re feeding in fish meals, then the Candida, the SIBO, they’re gonna eat this up as effectively. So that’s the excellent instance. If you happen to begin to take a prebiotic, you are taking fermented meals and also you’re studying someplace and you are taking that and also you get bloated, you may have fuel, you don’t really feel effectively, it may very well be that you just took an excessive amount of, however usually, and it is advisable begin off slowly, usually that to me tells me that you’ve Candida or SIBO or each as a result of it’s feeding these infections.
So my advice for my sufferers and what I like to recommend in all of my articles is to carry off on the fermented meals and the prebiotics and all that stuff, eliminate these infections. When you’ve gotten rid of those infections, you’ve gotten your microbiome cleaned out to principally all the good things, then begin including within the fish meals, begin including within the prebiotics, begin including within the fermented meals and assist to flourish and reestablish and preserve that microbiome in steadiness.
Katie: And I do know that it looks as if SIBO and Candida are recurring themes. I’m assuming you see these an entire lot in your clinic. Some other suggestions particular to these and or simply signs that individuals may… to concentrate to, that will be a sign that that will be an excellent factor to see when you’ve got.
Dr Amy Myers: Yeah, okay. So sure, after writing a thyroid e book and an autoimmune e book, the primary factor that individuals come to us for is SIBO and Candida. So I’d love to speak about these.
So first, Candida is Candida overgrowth. All of us have slightly little bit of Candida, however that is when it will get overgrown. So what are some set off phrases for me? Mind fog. That if I hear mind fog, primary factor that I’m pondering, moreover possibly gluten sensitivity, is Candida, unexplained rashes, itchy rashes, stuff you’ve gone to the dermatologist, they don’t know once they’re like put a cream on it. That always is candida. Psoriasis, eczema normally has a candida underline. In fact, when you’ve got recurrent yeast infections, you may have recurrent dandruff, issues like that, that’s yeast. So, after which, so fuel, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, you possibly can have any of those, however usually it’s these pores and skin points and the mind fog is the primary factor I consider.
How do I take care of candida? You go on a low carb food plan, a candida authorized food plan, and also you’re not, in my view, consuming these fermented meals. You’re positively eliminating sugars and carbs. After which what I take advantage of for my sufferers, we’ve got a candida package and program, so I created two dietary supplements. One, Candefense, and the opposite is Caprylic Acid. Caprylic Acid comes from coconut. It’s the acid within the coconut, so it sort of pokes these holes within the E-cell wall. After which the candefense is enzymes that digest the cell wall. And you then re-inoculate with actually good high quality excessive probiotics. Now we have 100 billion unit probiotic. In order that’s my Candida.
SIBO is Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. And the triggers that I hear there are bloating is actually the largest one. I wakened, my abdomen was flat. I ate one meal. I appeared six months pregnant. Rosacea is a giant one for that one. After which the opposite is most individuals consider SIBO as having diarrhea, however it truly could cause constipation in lots of people.
And there’s additionally a SIBO Hashimoto’s connection, as a result of when you’ve got low thyroid, then your digestion slows down, the meals is left in your intestine longer, after which the micro organism there go in to digest and so they’re simply creating these totally different gasses. After which it’s additionally a 3 step program. The food plan is similar to the Candida one. In truth, you possibly can principally use the identical and we regularly have individuals who come to us and so they’re treating each on the identical time and I’ll be comfortable to handle how to do this as a result of it’s barely totally different whenever you’re attempting to do each.
So food plan, you wanna starve the yeast, I imply, starve the SIBO. Then you definately wanna prune again the SIBO with microbe. We use a herb microbe clear. Now, if you’re seeing a doctor as a result of this has change into extra well known and there’s an antibiotic, Zifaxin, which I’ve taken a number of occasions. I’ve given it to my sufferers. It’s one of many few antibiotics I prescribe, very particular to the intestine. It does usually work very effectively. Nonetheless, it’s very costly and most insurance coverage doesn’t cowl it. In order that’s why I created the micro clear as a result of I had all these individuals in my clinic that might not afford to pay 1000’s of {dollars} for this antibiotic. I imply, some had been so determined. They did, however the herbs work rather well. It’s, you recognize, berberine, wormwood, black walnut, a bunch of, herbs that simply form of pr need to kill all of your good micro organism. An excessive amount of of an excellent factor created a nasty state of affairs, to kill again a few of the you need to re inoculate you re-inoculate as I said. So in case you wanna deal with each on the identical time, what I like to recommend is it’s basically the identical food plan. After which you possibly can take the MicroClear, the Caprylic Acid and the Candefenol all at one time. You’ll be able to work your means up and we clarify how to do this. After which what you wanna do first is to take the soil-based probiotic and be sure to’ve gotten rid of the SIBO first. And after you have, you’ll then take the billion unit probiotic after that. So it could be like a 30 days as an alternative of and are form of 30 days, you’re doing 60 days of all of this.
Katie: That is smart.

And I’m glad that you just introduced up enzymes as effectively, as a result of that was on my checklist to ask you about. It looks as if it’s not even simply what we eat essentially, but additionally how a lot we will digest and take in of what we eat. And it looks as if I’m seeing extra in analysis and from individuals I do know such as you, speaking in regards to the significance of enzymes, which might actually be useful as we become older, or if we’ve got particular situations particularly. I see that in minerals as recurring themes proper now. It looks as if many individuals have struggles in each of these areas. Do you discover these are frequent in your sufferers as effectively?
Dr Amy Myers: Completely. So simply to be clear, the enzymes I used to be referring to within the within the candefense are enzymes that break down the yeast cell wall. However I sure, our digestive enzymes are one in every of our prime sellers as a result of so many individuals do have these points of getting been on persistent medicines and whatnot. And I all the time stated in my clinic, it isn’t the saying the outdated saying that you just all the time heard you’re what you eat. It’s truly you’re what you digest and take in. So there have been loads of individuals once more, as a result of they learn the books earlier than they got here or they met me at paleofx and so they had been already coming in consuming these actually good diets. However then I’d do lab testing on them to have a look at their minerals, to have a look at their vitamin ranges, to look intracellularly at what was occurring. And so they weren’t getting the good thing about this. So that you might be consuming one of the best food plan on the earth. However in case you then can now not digest and take in it, when you’ve got low abdomen acid and also you’re not breaking down the proteins into amino acids, you then’re not absorbing it. If you happen to don’t have what it is advisable break down carbs and fat, you might not be absorbing it.
Or, you recognize, when you’ve got that after which it will get all the way in which right down to your small gut and you then’ve acquired SIBO disrupting it, or you may have leaky intestine and you then’re not absorbing these. So I imply, the intestine, I all the time say is the inspiration and the gateway to your well being. I imply, in case your intestine isn’t functionally on all ranges at an optimum degree, you’re both have already got issues otherwise you’re going to have issues. And that’s the reason as a result of I converse a lot about this, though I’ve written these different books, I feel individuals come to me for intestine as a result of I simply noticed it time and time once more, and individuals who had no digestive points. I imply, individuals who got here in and stated, oh, no, no, I’m consuming this nice food plan. You already know, I’ve two bowel actions a day. I don’t have any fuel. I don’t have any bloating. I’m advantageous.
After which we do a complete stool check. We’d see their digestive enzymes are low. We’d see they’ve vegetable fibers of their stool. We see, you recognize, we see their amino acids are low. And I may see it in all of those purposeful labs, not typical labs, however purposeful labs of how, you recognize, they thought that their intestine was advantageous. And so they had been consuming this unbelievable food plan, however with out having their pure inherent capacity to interrupt down and digest and take in issues, take in their vitamins, they had been then poor in these.
And, you recognize, by way of mineral deficiency, I feel that that’s in all probability twofold. One, our meals may be very totally different than it was for our ancestors. There are a lot of, many research that I do know you’re conscious of, of. You already know, our soil isn’t as nutrient dense because it was earlier than. So then the vegetation developing out of the soil shouldn’t have the identical degree of vitamins they used to have. After which once more, we’re dwelling on this poisonous world, our guts are leaky. In order that’s resulting in mineral and vitamin deficiencies. And it’s frankly why I like to recommend all people take a multivitamin every day. I imply, I’ve an article on this about all the explanations all people needs to be taking a multivitamin due to what we’re simply discussing, the soil, the nutrient degree in our meals, our leaky guts, our incapacity to digest and take in.
Katie: Yeah, I’m glad that you just acquired to elucidate that so comprehensively, as a result of I’ve puzzled if that is truly one other lacking piece due to the depletion of our meals provide and why we’ll see individuals who look like in actually good well being who could have these random situations that appear to return out of nowhere. And it looks as if at the least a few of them may very well be linked to mineral deficiencies that individuals wouldn’t essentially even pay attention to. So I’m so glad that we acquired to speak about that.
I’d additionally love to listen to any suggestions that you’ll be able to simply form of usually give to your sufferers or you can give listed here are form of the 80/20 that transfer us towards optimum or that appear to be comparatively universally useful. One I’ve given on right here again and again, as an example, is the significance of pure mild, which is free. I’ve observed a giant distinction even in my labs from getting morning daylight and slightly little bit of mid day, noon daylight daily, which is smart once we contemplate that our our bodies have {an electrical} element and that we want mild for therefore many issues to occur inside our physique.
However I’m certain that you’ve a way more complete checklist. So for anyone who’s attempting to maneuver that needle towards optimum, what can be a few of the issues on that checklist for you?
Dr Amy Myers: So I suppose once we had been speaking about toxins, I didn’t end my considered saying that, you stated 80-20 and my thoughts simply went to the 80-20 rule. So let me go to toxins after which I’ll speak about food plan.
Toxins, so we’ve got a house, and I perceive not all people can have this stuff, however we’ve got a house air filtration system, water filtration system, all of this stuff that I talked about, we solely eat natural in our home. And that’s in order that once I exit into the world, I make one of the best selections that I can, however I acknowledge that I journey. I’ve a toddler. We, you recognize, I used to be telling you, we had been at a water park yesterday. They stated no exterior meals. We introduced exterior meals. I imply, we simply defined we’ve got quite a lot of meals sensitivities, proper? So we’re not pressured to eat that meals, however then I’m in very chlorinated water, proper? I imply, I reside a life, but when in your personal surroundings, you possibly can management what you possibly can management, you then exit into the world and also you do one of the best you can. However there’s no option to keep away from this stuff. And so I positively comply with that as a rule. Like, you recognize, be as strict as you possibly can in your personal house after which go benefit from the world and do one of the best you possibly can whenever you’re on the market.
Now, in terms of food plan, there are specific features that I don’t, in terms of auto-immunity and the hyperlink with gluten after which the molecular mimicry and the cross-reactivity of gluten with casein, I don’t advocate anyone with auto-immunity eat dairy or gluten. And so for me, these are non-negotiables it doesn’t matter what. If you happen to had a gun to my head, I’d not eat gluten, or dairy, however so these aren’t negotiables. However once more, I do assume it goes again to what you had been saying. If you happen to’re consuming natural or when you’ve got the freedom or as you’ve moved your means down the autoimmune spectrum, it’s to not say I by no means eat sugar, it’s to not say I by no means eat corn, it’s to not say that I don’t ever eat grains or legumes. I’m in Texas, love some black beans and rice, however I do this stuff occasionally to the place that I do know once I’m ingesting my leaky intestine revive daily or, taking my enzymes once I exit, I can do this stuff, proper? I’m effectively, however I’ve gotten hit with poisonous mould 3 times in my life now. And I’ve moved up that autoimmune spectrum. After which I’ve acquired to get again to very clearly doing issues, um, in a really deliberate means and being far more cautious than once I’m effectively and might, can return down, down the spectrum.
So I don’t know if that absolutely answered your query or if you need me to consider another issues which can be free. I imply, stress reduction usually is free. My swimming is free that I do. Hyperbarics might not be, enjoying together with your little one, enjoying together with your pet, going exterior in pure mild, sleep. I imply, the one individuals say, how do you do the whole lot that you just do? Properly, it’s solely as a result of I do have a husband that if I must, if there’s one thing taking place with the canine or a daughter will get up in the midst of the evening, I would like my sleep. If I don’t get my sleep, I transfer up that spectrum on autoimmunity. So sleep is free. Perhaps all people doesn’t have the identical help that I’ve, however sleep is a superb free useful resource that permits your physique to heal and permits your physique to detox. And I make certain to one of the best of my capacity that I get a strong eight, if not ten hours of sleep is what I would like to actually be optimum in my life.
Katie: Yeah, the virtually 700 individuals I’ve had on this podcast, I’m but to listen to a single individual say sleep isn’t necessary. It looks as if the one universally agreed upon factor. And such as you stated, sleep itself is free. There’s heaps we will do to optimize sleep, which I are inclined to prioritize even in my price range as a result of we spend hopefully a lot time sleeping that I really feel like adjustments we make there have advantages and sleep makes all these different issues we’re speaking about a lot simpler as a result of your pure physique is ready to like rebuild and heal throughout sleep. So I like that as a common tip, one which positively can’t be overstated. So I like that you just introduced that up.
And as we transfer towards the top, a number of questions I like to ask. The primary being if there’s a e book or various books which have profoundly impacted you personally, and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Dr Amy Myers: Properly, the one which I considered whenever you, I knew you had been gonna ask me this query was M. Scott Peck’s The Highway Much less Traveled. I assumed I wished to be a medical psychologist, however I learn that e book, in highschool, I consider. And I feel the factor about it for me is my life has been the highway much less traveled. I imply, as you talked about, I used to be actually one of many originals again in purposeful medication, talking about all of these items. And you need to be courageous to do this. I imply, to be frank, I wrote an article simply actually quoting the CDC about issues you could possibly do in lieu of a flu vaccine and acquired reported to the medical board. And it was proper earlier than my first e book was popping out.
I do really feel between the Peace Corps, the Chinese language herbs, conventional typical medical college to then going to change into a purposeful medication doctor that I’ve actually embodied that in my life and simply encourage individuals to comply with the highway much less traveled. I imply, fortunately for individuals like your self, you may have helped get the phrase out and broaden the message that purposeful medication and different issues can be found to individuals as an alternative of typical medicine. So thanks very a lot for you following the highway much less traveled and getting that out, however letting individuals know that you just don’t must be afraid to journey this highway much less traveled. And there might be nice profit on the finish of it that doesn’t contain a number of medicine and a poor high quality of life. It truly entails possibly merely giving up a pair meals, including in some daylight, therapeutic your intestine. And you may have an unbelievable life pain-free and drug-free.
Katie: I positively second that e book advice. And likewise thanks to the work of you and so many others who’ve helped make this message way more out there to everybody on the market. I do know I hear from so many mothers who at the moment are shifting into the purposeful medication strategy with their households, which is actually encouraging for me to see, as a result of I feel when the mothers begin making the shift, that’s when society actually begins to shift. And I do know you’re a mother as effectively. So I’m actually grateful for the work that you just’ve completed. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners immediately that may very well be associated to the whole lot we’ve talked about or fully unrelated life recommendation that you’ve discovered useful.
Dr Amy Myers: That may be a large query. However I feel the one factor that’s calling me at this second, and I don’t know in case you’ve completed a podcast on hyperbaric, and I’m actually not a hyperbaric knowledgeable, however I can simply converse to in case you’ve hit a plateau in your autoimmune journey, and also you’ve been working with a purposeful medication doctor, and also you’ve adopted the issues that I’ve laid out immediately, and also you’re not getting effectively, look into hyperbaric, I’ve seen essentially the most profound, therapeutic from hyperbaric of a lady who was in, I had a plateau with, she was in a wheelchair and it simply referred to as me and I stated, go do 20 classes of hyperbarics and name me again. And she or he was strolling once more.
I personally acquired to a plateau in my journey at one level a number of years in the past, modified nothing, solely acquired into hyperbarics daily for nearly a 12 months. All of my autoimmune markers went unfavorable, they’ve remained unfavorable. I then acquired COVID, thought I used to be getting Lengthy Haul COVID, 5 classes into hyperbaric and it was utterly gone. And definitely anyone coping with lengthy COVID, I’d extremely advocate hyperbaric.
So, that’s, you recognize, increasingly locations are popping up you can go form of like a sauna and pay for a person session. This isn’t a plug and you’ll delete this, however you recognize, I’ve an Oxy-Well being one and so they have a hire to personal, you recognize, state of affairs if you’re in dire want. And in order that, I don’t know, I used to be simply referred to as to say that as a result of I really feel prefer it’s one thing that lots of people aren’t speaking about now. And I’ve seen some extremely profound, simply life-changing occasions with hyperbaric in case you hit a plateau, or simply as a part of your journey of therapeutic, that’s actually unbelievable.
