Episode 389: Are Parasites Wreaking Havoc on Your Gut Health?

Do you have a parasite? Are all parasites bad and does everyone need to do a parasite cleanse? In this episode we talk all about parasites! We cover what they are, symptoms of infection, how to treat them…and quite frankly how many people in the wellness space are going overboard with the topic!

In this episode, we cover how common parasitic infections are, types of parasites, and symptoms of infection. We discuss testing for parasites, how some can actually benefit the human body, and our favorite research backed natural compounds to treat a parasitic infection. Plus we discuss our thoughts on coffee enemas, colonics, and how many cleanses are too harsh or go on for too long and can wreak havoc on the microbiome!
