The impact the gut has on the entire body should not be underestimated, but unfortunately in conventional medicine it often is. We are shuttling pounds and pounds of food into this tube we have called the digestive system several times a day and we don’t give it a second thought—it’s pretty crazy when you think about it. The gut is responsible for our ability to turn food into fuel; to absorb and even create certain nutrients; to rid the body of harmful toxins on a daily basis. We rely on it to do so much for us.
It’s also one of my favorite topics as a Functional Medicine doctor—poop, the microbiome, the gut-immune and gut-brain connections—there are so many angles we need to look at with gut health and they can tell us an amazing amount of information about the rest of the body. That’s why I’m so excited for this week’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, where I sit down with my friend and colleague Dr. Todd LePine to take a deeper look at digestive health and the fascinating collection of life forms we carry around inside and on us, called the microbiome.
This episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is brought to you by Joovv and Thrive Market.
Recently I shared with you that I’m really excited to be working out with a trainer. And while I’m loving these new workouts, I am not always loving feeling sore the next day. That’s why I’m so excited about a new tool I found that helps me recover faster, it’s a red light therapy device called Joovv. Red light therapy is a super gentle non-invasive treatment where a device with medical-grade LEDs delivers concentrated light to your skin and cells. It helps your body produce more cellular energy and reduce oxidative stress, which helps tired and damaged muscle tissue repair and regenerate faster.

My prayer is that more of these kinds of doctors begin to replace the ones who are caught up in this horrid disease management system, prescribing nothing but pharmaceuticals to people, not healing anything but merely masking symptoms.
-
Man o man I got to find a functional medicine doctor! When Dr. LePine said he listens to his patients I was so impressed, I want a doctor like him! After decades of not being heard even though literally more than half the time I am right and the doctor is wrong.
-
These are the doctors who are actually helping patients, going to the root causes of diseases. Thank you for your work. God bless.

When I told my oncologist and my breast surgeon that my husband and I believe food is medicine, both laughed at us and our thinking. It’s sad. Everything that goes in or on our body affects the body, but most don’t see or believe this. Thank you for this video, very informative!
-
The most profound thing this doctor says is that the more he practices medicine the more he realizes what little he knows about the human body. Excellent video.

Thank goodness you doctors are on it at last. At 65 years old, I have been on a merry go round my whole life of auto immune. When I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis & fatty liver, I said ENOUGH. I have spent 4 months researching & changing my diet as I was fed up with my specialist not doing anything for me. I have fixed my liver, cholesterol, asthma & reflux. Thanks for this video

Just cause you know the name of your disease doesn't mean you know what is wrong with you. So true!

I am going to study ‘functional medicine’ after having spent 40 years practicing conventional medicine. We have been barking up the wrong tree! A Lilla FRCOG

There is a huge disparity in access to this kind of care. Its rich people medicine. The testing is expensive and isn’t covered. The remedies are food vitamins and minerals which are less expensive then AMA pharmaceuticals. Most of the people who are exposed to toxins have lower income. We need to close this gap as the actual care to fix or reverse these deadly issues will cost more state funds in the latter, then to create a pathway for all to get proper healing. Great interview - Thank You

I've had a functional med doc for years. I love the field. Only most don't believe in Yah or have faith in Scripture. There is a creator who created clean foods and unclean foods. Today we add all the toxins and process foods mixed in and we are a mess. However Father still provides health and a way to overcome these issues/diseases. Through obedience to His word, instructions on How to live and love we will overcome. If Father made clean food? It's still clean today we just need His help to overcome the evil men do to destroy. These two doctors are awesome. If they up their wisdom and education with believing in Yahuah thru His Son Yahusha, image how much more they will heal? Blessings friends

I'm a fish only (salmon mostly) and vegetables, whole foods, no processed food, no high fructose corn syrup, no sugar I'm starting to feel so.much better

THIS HAS LITERALLY OPENED MY MIND WIDE OPEN. Throughout my life i disliked eating fruits and vegetables, i very very very rarely had vegetables and fruits. i ate just carbs and meat and fats a big percentage of processed foods. Its a miracle that im still quite healthy in my 40's. My gut microbiome must be a mess, from this moment forward im totally radically changing my diet completely.

I must have been a micro biologist in past life. I am so interested in this topic. your videos have been such a goldmine of information. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and now psoriatic arthritis. had a major flare up this past year. (screw you 2020) and I had to quit my job and apply for disability, I'm only 47. my bank account has been drained to zero because of the amount of supplements and doctors. found your channel and took out dairy, gluten, grains, eggs, SUGAR. after seeing at least 30 doctors, I finally found someone who speaks to me, and CARES! I can tell that you are passionate, because you went through it. personal experience is the best teacher right? anyways, I'm doing better this month with the diet change. its been hard to change, but NOTHING taste as good as I feel. thank you so much Mark Hyman. with love from Madison Wisconsin.

I have had eczema since i was 12 yo. During those period i cant even count how many doctors i went to and all they gave me was just instant relief from the flare ups. And eczema was keep coming back. By doing my own research of how important gut microbiome is, i eliminate gluten, sugar and trans fat from my diet and now for years i can keep my eczema at bay.

Finally doctors that deserve to have the title of one!! This approach should be the only way to treat patients....

I had high bad cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and alopecia. I quit sugar and in a few weeks my cholesterol dropped into the normal range and so did triglycerides and blood pressure. They took me off high BP meds. My alopecia started to get better. Unfortunately I relapsed and my numbers went back up and the alopecia got bad again. Needless to say I'm eliminating sugar again. Thank you Dr Hyman.

I loved this chat and I shared it far and wide. One thing, though, that I'd love to see a solution for is how to make functional medicine affordable. EVERYTHING you guys talked about is true and valid--but also expensive. The out of pocket kind. People are sick and dying all over this country because insurance companies only cover allopathic medicine.

I feel healthy just by listening to these wonderful doctors
