Welcome to another episode of Green Wisdom Health. Today, we dive deep into a pervasive issue affecting many of us today—fatigue and lack of energy. We explore the underlying causes of this modern malaise, discuss holistic approaches to regain vitality and enthusiasm for life, and tell you why being fat is good!
"Being FAT, faithful, available, and teachable are key to improving your health and energy levels." - Dr. Stephen Lewis
Today on Green Wisdom Health:
How sedentary lifestyles and chronic pain are significant contributors to fatigue, which can be managed by increasing physical activity gradually and addressing pain through natural anti-inflammatory remedies and dietary changes.
The importance of detoxification in combating fatigue. Regularly detoxifying your body helps alleviate chemical sensitivity and clear metabolic waste that may impair energy production.
Taking nutrient-rich supplements and incorporating anti-inflammatory nutrients, essential fatty acids, and minerals is critical in managing inflammation and supporting overall cellular function.
The impact of air pollution and recognizing environmental factors like air pollution that contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, can exacerbate feelings of fatigue.
There is a significant connection between gut health and motivation. Robust gut health, facilitated by a diet rich in fibers like arabinogalactan and regular use of probiotics, can significantly impact energy levels and motivation.
The importance of sleep quality and establishing a consistent sleep routine, aiming for 7-9 hours of quality sleep, supports energy restoration and mental health.
How the connection between anemia and iron levels and regularly checking Ferritin levels can prevent anemia-associated fatigue by ensuring adequate iron and oxygen delivery to cells.
How managing stress and adrenal fatigue by adopting stress-reduction techniques and using adaptogenic herbs can mitigate the impact of elevated cortisol levels on sleep and energy.

Today's episode is Proactive Measures for Brain Health: Strategies to Combat Dementia and Alzheimer's —an urgent exploration into the intricacies of our most vital organ. We're diving deep into the genetic nuances of single nucleotide polymorphisms—SNPs—and how methylation defects can ripple through our health, affecting everything from liver function to serious health conditions like diabetes, dementia, and autoimmune disorders.

We're not just talking fish oil here—we're looking at the broader impact of our food choices. We cover everything from the perils of seed oils and farmed fish to monitoring allergies and environmental factors such as high copper levels.
But that's not all. Our conversation will also bring to light the importance of liver health, particularly in the wee hours of the night, the controversial role of alcohol, and how toxins can spark inflammation, leading to a cascade of neurological diseases.

Show Notes
Welcome to the Green Wisdom Health Podcast with Dr. Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now here are your hosts, Dr. Steven and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the Green Wisdom Health Show. I'm Janet Lewis and I'm Dr. Lewis, and we're excited that you guys have joined us again. I know it's been a bit since we've been here, got so many things to tell you as usual. And I'm sure you're really wondering of why this show is called This Broke My Heart. Uh, Dr. Lewis has decided that he would like to go on air and tell his story, which is partially my story too. It just didn't happen to me, but it could have. Um, I wanted to call this show, This Broke My Heart. Really I wanted to call it My Husband's an Idiot, but I still love him. But Janet said no on that. That's not exactly what she said. She prefaced that with heck no. Because your wife's not an idiot and I didn't want to be in that title. So. Well, you married me. Okay. Um, well, the point is that, you know, we have so many of you people that, uh, listen to me in spite of my Texas draw, which abhors me, but, uh, I take lots of supplements and I believe in them and we go through all kinds of convoluted inside out to get the right ones at the best price. But I'm pretty bad about just showing up and shooting from the hip. Y 'all kind of know that. And we're almost like a mechanic, right? It's like we're really great at fixing other people's cars, but sometimes ignore our own. Yeah. I used to go to court. They pay me big bucks to go testify in court and I wouldn't study cause I love embarrassing the hell out of insurance companies, attorneys. But anyway, I didn't target things that I kind of sort of knew I needed to target. And I'm like everybody else. I'm just cheating a little bit when I'm eating that a Hershey bar or ice cream or whatever. And how long had it been since you've done your last lab? Four and a half years and you you've gone five years. Okay. I'm not, I'm not saying that you did that. I'm just trying to divert the attention off me. But anyway, I screwed around, had a heart attack. So the point is folks that I understand that the world's gone through some really difficult times and people, you know, the inflation and that includes the supplements to, uh, some people have a tendency to drop out and, you know, there's, you know, double down and go for it. And, um, anyway, I don't know how deep you want to get into this heart attack thing. Well, the one, basically we had run, we've been extremely stressed, you know, Brandy was our right hand and she's not been here for quite some time now, even though she still works with us remotely, but not physically in the store, which is a lot of work. And, um, we were under tremendous stress and, you know, and all this things going on in the country's not really helping it either. And so we just kept taking everything we always knew to take, you know, which was, I took half the store. I mean, it wasn't like we weren't taking anything. Well, well, we were taking lots of stuff. Well, uh, we just are joining or we're partner partnering now with a triple board certified pain management doctor. And because of that, we decided we'd run our lab and see what was going on and see what she thought about our... -
Are you feeling tired, depressed, and lacking libido? You might be experiencing low testosterone levels. Low testosterone can affect both men and women. But before you rush to the doctor for synthetic testosterone replacement therapy, listen to Dr. Stephen and Janet Lewis talk about the natural way to boost testosterone.
Products Mentioned in Today's Show:
Nitric Oxide Revive represents an extended-release nitric oxide precursor. Scientists now refer to nitric oxide (NO) as the “foundation” of cardiovascular health. This tiny molecule is a vasodilator responsible for controlling blood flow to the entire body, which may help support healthy blood flow pressure and promote the health of the endothelium—the inside of blood vessels. With age comes diminished NO levels; that’s why since 1998, when three scientists won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of NO, researchers have been working to harness its heart-healthy activity. Today, with the application of extended-release technology, that activity has been realized with Nitric Oxide Revive.
Testo Essentials Max features two safe, clinically-tested, standardized, and patented ingredients designed to support vitality and general physical and mental well-being in men and women. Numerous studies have demonstrated that PrimaVie® shilajit and LJ100® Eurycoma longifolia support healthy androgen biosynthesis, which includes modulating the influence of sex hormone-binding globulin.†

Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:00:24) - And I'm Dr. Lewis.
Janet Lewis (00:00:25) - And we are excited that you are here today listening to our testosterone podcast, because who doesn't need testosterone? Apparently a lot of people are lacking testosterone, so that's why Dr. Lewis wrote a book about it. But today, we are going to educate men and women about how to balance it naturally. I know people are used to getting patches and things, but we have a little bit different approach, don't we, Dr. Lewis?
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:00:54) - Yeah. I've never thought that, uh, disease was a lack of a drug. And, you know, everybody's got an opinion, but, uh, success leaves clues, but so does failure.
Janet Lewis (00:01:07) - Well, um, you know, I think there's maybe some hormonal issues that go on that people don't even realize or could be a testosterone issue, and they're different for men and women. Uh, you know, usually you hear men saying, I need testosterone used to them getting pellets, or,
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:01:25) - That started with Tim Allen going two the two men.
Janet Lewis (00:01:29) - Yeah. But why, why is that so rampant nowadays that the testosterone is low? I, I, you know, maybe that's a better place to start.
Dr. Stephen Lewis (00:01:39) - You know, there, there are a lot of things, and, and it, it's multifaceted. Well, our food is terrible. They're genetically modified. And I know there's some people say that doesn't matter. Yes, it does. We've been to Europe and we've been to China. It does make a difference. The other thing is we have so many, uh, different things in our environment, 85,000 to a hundred thousand different chemicals that act like estrogen. And that's why, and you've heard me say it many times before, little girls develop breast and menstrual cycle years before they're supposed to. Little boys are getting more and more feminine. And if you hadn't noticed that, you ain't paying attention. And that's why there's, uh, an epidemic of, uh, low testosterone, only more low T clinics popping up and, you know, they're getting, uh, -

I know you've not heard a podcast from us for a while. So we are back, we have been busy, doctor Lewis, the most busy, but it takes all of us to put it together. Doctor Lewis has been in the middle of creating a bunch of books and one of them is on pain. So doctor Lewis, would you like to tell us a little bit about what you've been doing? Well, I used to recommend so many different books and in January says Stephen quit recommending those Rachel book. It's like, I don't want to write my book. So anyway, we had to develop my answer to that was yes, ma'am. Whatever you want, ma'am. But we want you to know it's really an honor and responsibility for when you come to us for a so called natural solution to common ailments. And I get in a lot of controversy by saying, well, your body's made by God, and it knows what to do. It just needs the tools to work with. So we have developed a what I would call a very ingenious program, but then that would sound like I'm bragging on myself and really and truly Janet's name should be on this book more than me. But we're going to talk a lot about what you should do. And you know, as a chiropractor, I started out with musculoskeletal conditions with all my patients and they would say, and I'd say, well, you need this supplement you need that supplement. So your body can, you know, it's going to decrease the inflammatory cytokines, et cetera, et cetera, and some of them say, but I like tacos, and it's like, yeah, well, you need to do something different or people say, well, I have fibromyalgia, it's like, well, I can teach you to eat differently. So this is we have programs now that we're getting some phenomenal success with because it teaches you how to eat and it's not a book about what not to eat. It's about what a and we make it simple where it's you have the grocery list. It's easy to prepare. And they're actually super delicious. You feel healthy after you eat these things. So we've got a lot to say, sorry, I only had 30 minutes to say it. I was going to say, what is food have to do with pain? Everything. Just asking. Well, if you're in chronic pain and you've tried all these things, including chiropractic care, -

Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Steven and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's show. We are very excited for our next presentation of what we've been up to, doctor Lewis. You want to tell them what we've been up to? Yeah, I hear from quite a few of my patients that we're going dark are going silent because we haven't been putting out podcasts. Well, we're going to introduce you to our hormone balancing and weight loss book. And I'd like to say thank you for your patience. Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your trust because we've been really, really busy making reformulations to some things so that they can work better or where one nude reformulation could take the place of two products. So the patients that have experienced this already are very, very happy and excited and I think you'll find this weight loss book much different than any other dot book on the market because our approach is different. And if you're wondering where you can find this, but this is the first I believe for now that he's working on. We only have the one out. Well, you know, it takes a lot of effort for Janet to keep me off the rabbit trails and keep me focused. So he has to keep writing different books till he comes up with what he likes. So my first one is about thyroid and hormones and weight loss and all of those kind of things nutrient based eating, which is probably something you've not heard of before. If you like looking at the book, there's many recipes in the back. It is available right now on our page of our website at green wisdom health dot com toward the bottom. There's an online ebook. Some people prefer not to read. We hear that too. So doctor Lewis has completed the audio version of it, which we are delighted to share with you today. So doctor Lewis, anything else you'd like to add in before we let him hear the audio version. Yeah, buckle up your seat belt and notice where the notches are because if you follow this book, you're going to have to type up if you're not just because if you will follow the program, you will lose weight and then you'll start feeling more energetic and be the best person that you can possibly be. Not only for yourself, but for your family. So without further ado, here is doctor Lewis. This hormone weight loss book. Hello, everyone. My name is doctor Steven Lewis. I'm a chiropractor, and today we're going to be reviewing one of my favorite topics and functional medicine. Hormone imbalances and nutrient deficiencies as they relate to weight loss. I've worked with hundreds of patients over the years in their struggles to lose weight to boost energy to improve how they feel in their own bodies and who doesn't need that. And unfortunately, many times these patients suffered from severe hormone... -

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?

Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And we thought we would come to you today with a couple of exciting things. One is we have some false savings coming up for you, so stay tuned for this. But the name of this show is called are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? We decided to do a podcast doctor Lewis has been very busy writing some books for you guys on how to eat correctly nutrient based eating. He's also doing some webinar. So I've had him very busy, so I apologize for the lack of podcasts coming on. But we cause people are getting another round of being sick again and for some people it's the third or fourth time. We thought we should come on the air and talk to you a little bit about what may be causing that, some things you could take to help you beside the common things like vitamin D and that sort of thing. And why it's so important that we see about going into fall with health. So doctor Lewis would you like to talk to the audience? I think they might have missed you. Yeah, well, first of all, I'd like to say thank you, Melinda from Nederland, Texas from being so compliant and getting such great results. It's funny, fact of life, but secret that you get out of it, what you put into it. So sweet little lady done in southeast Texas. And thank you, Eric, for sending her and dozens of others. Here's the deal. I would love for y'all to do me a favor and write me Doc at green wisdom health dot com. Is that right? It is because he's actually had a little problem with Facebook and his shooting straight page. So he's not getting any direct messages on that now. He's still checking it, but Facebook has their own rules and they decided to make one. So we still have the page. He just doesn't see the post right away, so I don't think he's ignoring you. He will be on there to answer. Yeah, Doc, green wisdom, health dot com. Email me and I'd like to know your opinion. Do you like the podcast? Should we do more should we do less? Because I have been busy. And we can do more if we need to, but we want to know what it takes to reach you. -
The symptoms of heavy metal toxicity can manifest in many different ways including diarrhea, nausea, chills, etc. Because of the many different symptoms that often mimic other conditions, it can be difficult to determine if you have heavy metal toxicity. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take now that can help support your body's detoxification pathways in filtering out metals and other toxins.

Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with Doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And today we are going to discuss heavy metal toxicity. The name of this show is called symptoms of heavy metal toxicity. Doctor Lewis, can you tell us why you felt the need to discuss heavy metals? He's thinking about why he's discussing heavy metals. It goes back to the 70s in the music, but no, not really. Well, you know, I've talked about being toxic off and on for many, many years, even before we got into this. And I noticed that as I tried to fix people's joint pain, nerve pain, musculoskeletal pain, that if I would put people on something that could displace toxins, heavy metals and others, that their pain would get much, much better. Much more quickly, they could achieve or we could achieve the goals with fewer adjustments and less time. So I think we should always be taking up new trends to help our bodies detox, not just metals, but other things. And the side effect of being cleaner is deep sleep. You know, most of us don't get the deep restorative sleep, which not having good sleep actually helps induce leaky gut, which we've talked about. And that can lead to insulin resistance. So when we talk insulin resistance, we're talking about pre diabetic or diabetic. And it can lack of the sleep can lead to actually autoimmune disorders. We're seeing more and more autoimmune disorders and people say, well, what's chiropractor doing? Talking about, oh, no immune disorders. Well, guess what? That has a lot to do with osteoarthritis, which I've already gotten most of that podcast written for the future about how osteoarthritis can be helped with nutrients as well as the chiropractic adjustments. But to get deep restorative sleep puts you in a better position to detox and heavy metal is a big part of that. You know, I think a lot of people out there don't really realize they're even exposed to heavy metals and they're probably thinking, well, I'm not around any of that. So, I'm not really sure how it pertains to me, but there's good metals like zinc and copper and iron that are beneficial for your health, but there's also some very toxic ones like cadmium, arsenic, chromium, lead mercury, you know, and people are like. Yeah, and where do you get those bad ones from? Is everyone exposed to one or more of those? Absolutely. And people say, I'm not exposed to that. It's like, yeah, you are, you just don't know it. I mean, if you walked into a newly sprayed build and has had pesticides in it, or even new building materials or the outgassing of carpets and those are not necessarily metals, but they can be seen in styrene and Styrofoam cups. There're so many toxins in the world. If you're not exposed to it, one of the polar bears have thyroid problems in osteoporosis. We don't spray anything up there. And we'll probably go over a list today. And I've always said, please don't try to diagnose yourself at all, but if you don't diagnose yourself off this list because of these lists, we may say, well, this is hypothyroidism. Well, it could also be leaky good. It can be chronic fatigue, syndrome. And you know, I had a kid one-time, young man who was not very developed, and you could tell he had some problems. And he brought me a book and says, here, what do you think about it? -
Many people have been experiencing long-lasting symptoms after going through an illness.

And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And today we are going to discuss a topic you guys keep asking us about that we keep trying to dance around. So we're going to keep dancing, but we're going to give you our best shot at explaining what we do and what's going on. Now that we have your curiosity, you're wondering what it is. I know. But we can't tell you. We have to just kind of talk in code. The name of the show is called treating long, I'm sorry. It's not treating. We're supporting long haul syndrome. So we do not treat that. We just give you things that might help you get over long term chronic sickness. And you'll just have to fill in the blank on what that is. But, you know, many things can help with that sort of thing. And we also have a symptom list of you figuring out if you have these long haul symptoms or the syndrome. So chronic immune system depletion. There you go. So we're going to tell you the things that we do, the things we recommend because we're getting another round of people getting sick and we want to make sure you stay healthy, especially going into this fall, you know, we've got Saharan dust attacking us now and people have a bunch of allergies. And then you have this virus stuff that just seems to be on the loose. So doctor Lewis, I think you should go ahead and explain what we're doing. You know, before we started this, we asked God to help organize my mind. You know if you've listened to me before organization in my mind is pretty much nonexistent and I'm way off the charts today. I've got too much to say and not enough time to get there. So what we're talking about is helping your body boost immune system. I'm a chiropractor, so I always approach you from a musculoskeletal sense. But if you support musculoskeletal, you're supporting all the cells, which are supporting your immune system. So we'll get into that. I wanted to talk about mushrooms and Janet kind of changed that. I'm going to talk about mushrooms anyway. Maybe he's wanting to smoke mushrooms. I'm not sure which one, but we're using them for immune system. Yeah, and I do not treat cancer, God knows you need a hematologist that understands natural stuff too, but when Janet's first said, we talk about mushrooms and she changed her mind. She never changes her mind about me, but everything else may be. There's a lot of cancer books. And again, I don't treat cancer, of course, but mushroom extracts are used sometimes it's mataki, sometimes shiitake, a turkey tail lines made. And the beta glucans that you can get from that. And this is in some of the books that talk about how some people natural doctors treat cancer. And that's certainly not the only thing you should be doing if you have cancer, but other things that are anti proliferative, which means they kind of help keep the cancer and if it works for cancer, it's going to work for immune system. And you people that have chronic fatigue, some of the anti prolific agents are selenium, fish oil, garlic, cat's claw, mataki, diffraction vitamin a, vitamin K, of course, in bovine cartilage, which actually we've been proved our collagen has just come in again. Thank you. But that all might assist the cancer patient in this manner. -

Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I am Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And we have our very special speaker back with us today. Casey, who works with one of our manufacturers to bring you the wonderful products that we currently have. Including the new one that we just started carrying called ageless cell revive. So the name of this show, and he's going to tell us why it works. It's called ageless mind. And increased energy. And those of you that are having the bad side effects of the long-term COVID symptoms, you probably want to listen up to this because this is going to have a lot of information pertaining to that in ways that you can get your energy back, your mind back, get rid of a lot of your fatigue. So doctor Lewis, what would you like to tell us before we add Casey to it? Well, since it's so good for the brain, I would like to ask you, if you can remember to take it, do you really need it? Thanks. Go ahead, guys. Take and run with it. Yeah, thank you for having me again. It's always, it's always a pleasure to be back out in east Texas. Being that you're from. Yeah, exactly. We want to talk about where I'm from. But over Dallas way. But yeah, this is a we gave him his green card to get him into Texas. I'm doctor Lewis approved, hopefully. Yep. But yeah, this is a really exciting new product. There's been a lot of ageless cell revive that is. There's a lot of chatter right now. I would say over the last couple of years around this idea of membrane lipid replacement therapy. And what I mean by that. So what ageless cell revive is is it's a sunflower, lecithin derived phospholipid complex. And why that is so important is that phospholipids are an extremely critical component to all biological membranes. In the body, from the membrane that lines your digestive tract, the membrane that lines your bronchial passages, the membranes that make up the membranes that protect and house your both your cells and then also membrane intermembrane that houses your mitochondria. So and that goes along with the podcast we did earlier about diabetes and metabolic syndrome or syndrome X. The main cause of stroke, for example, is syndrome X, which is the same thing as metabolic syndrome leading to diabetes or type two diabetes. And as chiropractor I was always interested in the demyelination, things that DeMille are like infections, trauma, which is what I took care of as a chiropractor. Inflammation, which specifically diabetes, but any kind of inflammation, lack of thyroid function that you people with low thyroid, it goes further than just checking your thyroid. Nutritional deficiencies and that's where Casey just shines like a brand new penny. Lack of vitamin B and allergies such as gluten. So we're happy to have him here because he kind of has the intelligence and the knowledge to get technical. So I'm just like throw it in like God sorted out. Yeah, so all those things you just mentioned is that like the simpler version of what Casey's saying about the mitochondrial function. Yeah, because Janet told me I get two technical and one case it gets technical. She didn't say anything to him. She just smiled and said, hey, Casey. Well, I invite him to the show because he tells me all of this when we talk and I'm like, -
One of the most common issues we see in people today is difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. Weight loss is a hot topic and a booming industry, but so many products just don't work. Unfortunately, there is no magic fix for this, but there is one often overlooked aspect of weight management, and that is insulin. Insulin is an extremely important hormone responsible for regulating several metabolic processes and ensuring cells get the energy they need. Due to this, insulin has a strong influence on weight management. When the body begins to respond less to insulin, it could indicate that you are developing insulin resistance, which can contribute to a variety of health issues. In this week's episode, The Secret Enemy of Weight Loss, we'll discuss insulin's role in metabolism and weight management, as well as some positive lifestyle changes you could make.

The Secret Enemy of Weight Loss
00:00:01 - 00:05:01
Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And we are here to give you some inspiring helpful healthful hope. So in a world full of a lot of chaos, hopefully we're bringing you a lot of joy and information and news you can use. So we today are going to talk a little bit about the secret enemy of weight loss because it's summertime and who's not trying to get into that bikini for the beach. But having a little bit of white problems or a lot of weight problems and we're going to talk about what that secret and me is, doctor Lewis has got him captured over here behind the door and he's going to let him loose a little bit and tell us what the enemy has been. He's good at corralling things. So also, we want to mention our collagen people have been asking a lot about when is collagen coming back in. We do not know. The ingredient in there that's a registered trademark called mobily, which is one of the several ingredients in that product that make it work wonderfully and that is the reason why it is so missed, we can not get from the manufacturer because it's trapped in Spain. It is rooster comb. I guess they have special roosters there. I don't know, but they're organic. They're organic rooster combs. Hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid can heal in big ways. So I won't go into too many stories there, but it's not here. So that's the bottom line. We don't know what it's coming. People ask if we have a replacement. Not yet. We're waiting for the person that makes that product for us to tell us what they're going to do. They have very high standards. And they don't want to take something out that they may get in. I don't know. If we do it, you're going to know it and we're going to tell you, hey, it didn't come in with this. I don't know what we're going to do. So for the time being that's out and people say, well, what brand should I take? We don't know. I know that they have designs for help, has a pretty good one. I just haven't gotten any kind of feedback from anybody that's just had miraculous results with collagen other than the powdered one we carry. So sorry about that. You know how it is nowadays, so hopefully that's the only product that's doesn't come in for a while, but you know, there could be others. So anyway, doctor Lewis picked this subject today because he is passionate about helping people regain their health and would you like to let the enemy out of the closet you're keeping him in and tell us who the secret enemy of weight loss is. Well, I've had so many people talk bad about me because I'm so blunt and it's like, well you made a sugar coat it and the answer to that is most people would rather have it sugar coated. The active, the real enemy is insulin and I will get into that. I promise you in big ways. -

I'm a wife, mother, health coach, personal trainer, personal fitness chef, and entrepreneur.

Join me as I bridge the information and communication gap between patients, caregivers, family members, Friends, and coworkers, through helpful tips, inspiring stories and motivating interviews. I call this the Hashimoto's connection. How did you get involved in chiropractic care and in functional medicine? You know, I was asked that question on a very large podcast one time and I started crying because I saw my daddy died when I was 15 years old. Maybe from ulcerative colitis, but maybe from the drugs they gave him for that. And I knew right then at 15, I was smarter than that. I developed ulcerative colitis whether it was physical or psychological, whatever. And I went to 5 different MDs. I had 5 different diagnoses and 5 different treatments, not one of them that worked. And I love her MDH. Don't misunderstand me. They did a lot of really good things, but so I pursued chiropractic and we look at things in a musculoskeletal arena and I figured that what I thought through some good nutrients, notice I said good. That even if it's four musculoskeletal things, other things got better. Well, if it's turmeric, will it help their brain to help their cognitive factors that help their eyesight and help decrease inflammation? I did it people do things for two reasons. You make a decision to do something because you're moving away from pain. Are you making a decision to do something because you're moving toward pleasure?

Many experts believe that a healthy gut is the foundation for overall health, and that keeping your digestive system healthy should be a priority. However, maintaining a healthy gut can be more difficult than it seems due to the toxins we encounter every day. There are many things that can disrupt the delicate balance in your gut, and an imbalanced gut can have many different symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms of poor gut health can include food sensitivities, bloating, poor digestion, and much more. If gut health is not addressed and corrected, it can contribute to the development of certain health conditions over time. In this week's episode, Is Your Gut Healthy? How to Tell, Janet and Dr. Stephen E. Lewis, D.C. discuss how our lifestyles affect gut health, how to know if you probably have a gut issue, and some tips on how to support a healthy gut.

Is Your Gut Healthy? How to Tell
00:00:01 - 00:05:09
Welcome to the green wisdom health podcast, with doctor Steven and Janet Lewis, where you will learn about natural solutions to common ailments. And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And today we are going to talk to you about your gut, which is one of my favorite subjects. It seems everything goes back to it. The name of this show is called is your gut, healthy, and how to tell. And then toward the end of the show, we're going to tell you a very exciting story about one of our patients and his journey with us. So hang on tight, we got a lot to cover. But we wanted to get started with gut health because immune system is out of the gut and people don't understand that. And I'm hoping doctor Lewis will explain to us how that's possible and why it is compromised and what we can do about it. So doctor Lewis, would you tell us what you want us to know about is your gut healthy? Yeah, the quick answer is no it's not. It's just how unhealthy is it. The reason I pretty much say everybody has a gut problem is because we have horrible food. It's not nutrient dense. And yes, food is important, but it's not complete. So the presence of glyphosate and all these chemicals they put on it. One of the things that messes with gut health and causes leaky gut, and I'll get into those symptoms in a minute. Is the presence of gluten, but gluten's not the only bad protein that's in wheat and barley and hops and rye. What is happening is we fertilize our crops with NPK. The plants say, oh my God, I've got this burst of energy. And since I have this, it's like we're feeding our food fast food when we're feeding it NPK. And it grows at an accelerated rate, and it says, oh, I've got to put it out in protein, and people think protein is a good thing. Well, that protein is gluten and other bad proteins. And we have four to 40 times more gluten in our food. In our wheat, especially, than we did just a few short decades ago. Gluten is not a good thing, and we test people. It's like, oh my God, no wonder you can't get well. You got to cut this out. And it's just a varying degrees, but we're seeing more and more of it. Nailed, then we saw, say, 20 years ago, autoimmunity is getting to be it's definitely on the rise in that starts into gut, even if the autoimmune disease is Hashimoto's or Socrates or rheumatoid arthritis. So the excess gluten and glutenin and all kinds of other things. When it causes a leaky gut syndrome, what it really causes is what we say, microbial dysbiosis, which means you don't have the right kind of bacteria yeast and fungus in your guts or the rat ratio. Things that cause leaky gut, we talked about gluten. That's the main thing. Medications, people that do NSAIDs forever, and I just talked to real sweet men. It says, well, I've done all the acid reducers for many, many, many years. Well, that's covering up the problem, but not really fixing it. -

And now, here are your hosts doctor Stephen and Janet Lewis. Hello and welcome to this week's edition of the green wisdom health show. I'm Janet Lewis. And I'm doctor Lewis. And we are here to help you with all of your weight loss and thyroid questions I know that you have. This week's episode is called the thyroid connection to weight loss because many of you out there are struggling with weight loss and it is the season for bikinis. So we want to make sure that we're able to get into those and look really good. So we're going to tell you today some shortcuts or maybe some long cuts to getting that body back the way you want it to be and what the thyroid has to do with it because we all know that thyroid's got everything to do with weight loss, doesn't it, doctor Lewis? I don't know about everything, but it's certainly a huge, huge player there. So what is it you would like for us to learn today about thyroid? What does it got to do with you losing weight? Well, first of all, it usually is the thyroid and the statistics vary depending on the book you read or the research or the doctor you talk to, but I'd say about two out of three or three out of four people. That we do are low cost lab work on probably three, four, 7 have a suboptimal thyroid. Well, wait a minute. When you say low cost lab work, why do you run lab work? I mean, don't the doctor do it. I mean, haven't they been told they're okay? Why do you do that? I'm just asking. Okay. Asking for a friend. Well, you know, I love the whole profession, the medical profession and chiropractic may be in a chiropractor. Of course, I look at it more holistically, structure function, nerf supply. But let me just tell you a story. There's this really wonderful medical doctor that came in. He wanted to talk to us and Janet and I was off gallivanting around the country like we do a lot in the RV. And Janet, my sweet darling a little wife says, I do not want to talk to this MD. I said, I'll talk to him. He's an ass guy. I've never met an MD that wasn't a nice person and have good intentions. And so he came in, he was a real quiet shy, soft spoken, very, very nice man. He says, you're getting our patients well, and we don't understand how you're doing it. And I said, well, God's a lot smarter than you and me. And we're trying to help people. We're just doing it differently. I just throw in nutrients that your body uses for the greater good. And he says, okay. And so I asked Janet to go get this particular lab. Once she got here, my sweet wife said she didn't want to talk to the sim day, but I said, now you're here, what do you tell the stock for about thyroid? And she gave me the look. I have no idea what the look is. You eyes out there, have no idea what the look is. In any way, this light he had a three point something on her TSH. And that's what most people run TSH, which is not thyroid. That is the thyroid stimulating hormone. It comes out of the pituitary in the brain. And it was a three. And the range goes up to 4.5 in Janice says, what would you do with this person? He says nothing. She's my patient, too. I don't do anything. It's well within the range it's normal. And I'm thinking it's not normal, it's common. There is a difference. And Janet says, well, if it doesn't go down around 1.5, that means the brain is putting out the signal and the thyroid's not using it. And she will be overweight.
