⚖️ Good microbes bring balance.
⚠️ Bad microbes create disruption.

🦠 Beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium help support digestion, immune health, and overall gut stability. They are key players in maintaining a calm, resilient microbiome.

🚨 When harmful microbes or opportunistic organisms take over, symptoms often follow. Bloating, inflammation, fatigue, discomfort, and digestive irregularity can all be signs of microbial imbalance.

🔬 This is where GI testing becomes valuable. It shows what is actually happening in the gut, beyond symptoms alone, and helps guide smarter, more personalized next steps.

💬👇 We want to hear your thoughts!

🥗📊 New U.S. dietary guidelines have been announced, alongside a redesigned food pyramid. The updated model shifts away from the previous MyPlate visual and reintroduces the pyramid, this time inverted.

🔄 What’s changed:
• Meat, dairy (including cheese), vegetables, and fruits are shown at the top
• Protein and fats are emphasized more prominently than in prior models
• The guidelines call for a reduction in highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates
• A clearer distinction is made between whole grains and refined grains

⚖️ What remains:
• Whole grains are still included, with guidance to prioritize fiber-rich options
• Saturated fat is still recommended to be limited to no more than 10% of daily calories
• The guidelines continue to influence school meals, federal nutrition programs, and institutional food standards

👀 What stands out to you most when comparing the new pyramid to the old one?

“Breastfeeding is a detox process for the mother.”

Dr. Leah Hechtman explains how pollutants stored in body fat can move into breast milk, which is why environmental exposures can pass from mother to child. It is uncomfortable to hear, but it is critical for clinicians to understand generational toxin transfer.

“You cannot heal if you’re living in mold.”
Dr. Neil Nathan shares the one point every mold clinician agrees on. No protocol works if the environment is still toxic. Moving, remediating, or creating a safe space is the first step before any treatment can take hold.

“When you see this pattern, think environmental overload.”

Dr. Leah Hechtman explains that high estrogen metabolites often point to poor toxin clearance and systemic congestion.
When these values climb together, it signals the body is struggling to process hormones, chemicals, and exposures of all kinds.

Can toxins affect GI testing results?
Dr. Racheal Onah says yes.

In her practice, especially with kids who have constipation and neurological issues, mold and other toxins often show up as major contributors. She pairs mycotoxin testing with organic acids to understand gut dysbiosis, mitochondrial health, and how exposures may be driving symptoms.

“Start with limbic, vagal, and mast cell support before binders in sensitive patients.”

Dr. Neil Nathan explains why some patients react to everything.
If the limbic system, vagus nerve, and mast cells are inflamed, binders and detox protocols backfire. Calm the system first, then move into treatment.

Only about 1% of solar UVB radiation ever reaches the earth's surface even in the summer at 12PM.☀️

The reason is that all of he UV C (200-280 nm), and all of he UVB radiation up to approximately 290 nm is efficiently absorbed by the stratospheric ozone layer. 🌎

The ozone layer absorbs approximately 99% of the UVB radiation with wavelengths 291-320 nm☢️

Essentially no Vitamin D3 can be produced in the skin from November through February for individuals in Boston at 42° North. 🌥️

Inhabitants living in Edmonton Canada at 52° North, Bergen Norway at 60° North, or Ushuaia Argentina at 55° South are unable to produce any significant Vitamin D3 for about 6 months of the year. 🔅

🌱 Polyphenols: Key Dietary Sources and Clinical Considerations

🧪 Polyphenols are some of the most widely studied plant compounds, known for their antioxidant activity and their potential to support metabolic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurocognitive health. Food-based intake is generally preferred, since supplementation can create unwanted effects, especially reduced iron absorption.

🥗 Here are some of the richest dietary sources:

• 🌿 Cloves and other spices
• 🍫 Cocoa powder and dark chocolate
• 🍓 Berries (blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 🍒 Non-berry fruits (black currants, plums, cherries, apples)
• 🫘 Beans
• 🌰 Nuts (hazelnuts, pecans, almonds, walnuts)

📉 Bioavailability varies based on metabolism, intestinal absorption, and each food’s polyphenol profile, so higher levels don’t always mean higher absorption.

💬 If you’d like the full breakdown of polyphenol values and clinical implications, comment POLY LIST and we’ll share the resource.

“If your patient gets worse on binders, you’re giving too much.”
Dr. Neil Nathan explains why binder dosing needs to start far lower than most clinicians expect. If symptoms flare, the dose is too high and should be reduced right away.

“Your mitochondria decide whether you make hormones.”

Dr. Leah Hechtman explains that when mitochondrial health is poor, the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone drops.
This becomes the bottleneck for the entire steroid hormone pathway. Dried urine testing helps reveal where this breakdown starts and why mitochondrial support must come before hormone protocols.
