You’re on FIRE: Heal IBS, SIBO, Microbiome Dysbiosis & Leaky Gut to Discover Whole Health

All disease begins in the gut.

-HIPPOCRATES, THE ＂Father of Medicine＂

Chronic immune-mediated inflammation and harmful effects of the stress response result in chronic cellular mitochondrial-metabolic dysfunction throughout the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, body, and brain.

You have the disorders or diseases in the subtitle of the book.

They present with ...

• abdominal pain/discomfort - some refer to the symptom as discomfort rather than pain,
• gas - abdominal bloating, distention (enlargement), flatulence, and/or noisy rumbling/grumbling, and
• bowel dysfunction - diarrhea, constipation, or both.

They’re usually diagnoses with ...

But, this is a diagnostic error.

Inaccurate and inefficient diagnosis underlie ineffective and costly management and treatment.

-THE AUTHOR

There are several disorders and diseases potentially responsible for this triad of symptoms. All of them are treatment targets.

Most also suffer with other chronic GI symptoms along with associated chronic pain, symptoms, syndromes, and diseases involving other organ systems.

The reality is-we’re all on fire to some extent.

Hippocrates was right. All disease begins in the gut of the GI tract-the small intestine and colon. The impaired gut resident microbiome orchestrates the interrelationship of a triad of factors:

• genetics or ＂nature,＂
• environment or ＂nurture＂-including your health related behavior, and
• gut barrier function, where impairment results in ＂leaky gut.＂

This triad is responsible for multiple dimensions of your health:

-whether you get sick,

-what symptoms and diseases develop,

-symptom severity,

-which bodily systems are involved, and

-your prognosis.

But, we can change our prognosis.

The book will show you how to optimize your gut microbiome and heal your gut to discover whole health.

Nearly 200 figures/illustrations with explanatory text will enhance your learning and understanding.
