Food is not the enemy; we can use food strategically to help us heal. You don't have to follow such rigid diet rules to the point of feeling like you're failing unless you're putting in this daunting amount of effort. There are two diets you can begin with - Paleo or a low FODMAP diet. The beauty of these diets is that all you really need are 2-3 weeks to get a sense for if the diet is working for you. These diets won't 100% heal you in 3 weeks but you will be able to know whether you've improved or not. If you can't tell if you're improving or not, then move onto the next diet. - Dr. Michael Ruscio

Over two thousand years ago, Hippocrates said that
all disease begins in the gut. Now backed by extensive scientific
research, this idea still holds true today. In Healthy Gut, Healthy
You, clinician and researcher Dr. Michael Ruscio shows how modern
lifestyle changes and the widespread use of antibiotics have made
our guts and the essential bacteria they contain more vulnerable
than ever before.
The good news is that almost any ailment including depression, fatigue, weight gain, autoimmunity, insomnia, and hypothyroidism can be healed. The key is not just managing the symptoms but treating the root cause: the gut. Restoring this crucial part of your overall health improves the performance of your whole body from the inside out and it's easier than you think to get started.

A vibrant, healthy you begins with your gut start healing your body today!
"The difference between knowledge and wisdom is experience. You can get the knowledge of an antifungal protocol off the internet but the wisdom for how to properly apply it is accrued after years and years of diligent studying and reflection." - @DrRuscio http://bit.ly/wfpodcast
"The two main functions of the gut are digestion and the absorption of nutrients but it's also an immensely dense immune barrier. If inflammation is the instrument of the immune system, then we can connect these dots and conclude that one of the key sources of either immune to inflammatory conditions can be emanating from imbalances in the gut. This isn't just a far-reaching inference; we do know that the highest density of immune cells is contained in the small intestine." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
"Within the rules of a Paleo or low FODMAP diet, you don't have to be 100% compliant with your diet. I expect people to miss a few meals. There might be a social function or a work event and you can have a drink or some not planned food. Do the best you can with what you have available to you but a few misses will not be the make or break between success and failure." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
"When did becoming healthy and becoming a hypochondriac become synonymous with one another? They really shouldn't be. The whole point of becoming healthier is so that you're more resilient and you can enjoy occasional treats from time to time. If I want ice cream, I can have an ice cream because I've built up a robust enough level of health including gut health to allow me to have those indulgences." - Dr. Michael Ruscio
