I shouldn’t have to switch from patient to provider just to get my concerns addressed.

I reported worsening symptoms. My iron levels declined. And I was told to Google iron-rich foods.

I needed clear treatment instructions, a timeline for reassessment, and a plan to investigate WHY this keeps happening.

I’m not asking for automatic agreement with the treatment I want. I’m asking for thorough care.

Patients shouldn’t need a medical degree to know what questions to ask—or what’s missing from the answers.

And this is why I go so hard for my patients. I am them.

Have you ever left an appointment with instructions but still felt unheard? What did you wish your provider had addressed? 👇🏽

Picture a Monday meeting where the project is "two weeks from done." Again. Everyone in the room is working hard, and everyone is running on fumes.

A leadership team we like to talk about hit that wall. The turning point came when they asked a different question: "What are we running on?" They carved out time to recharge, and the work picked up speed.

The research cheers this on. Offsite retreats are linked to about 26% higher productivity that lasts 2-3 months, and 84% of leaders in our retreats report fewer burnout signals.

Save this for your next planning meeting, and tag the teammate who deserves a recharge. 💜

Comment CANCER for the links to listen.

Colon cancer rates are rising, especially among younger adults….but before you let that statistic stress you out, listen to this episode to learn what you actually need to know!

In this episode of The Gut Show, I’m joined by @leybelismd to talk about what we know about colon cancer, what may increase your risk, symptoms to pay attention to, and the different screening options available, including the misinformation surrounding them.

Thank you to our partner:
If you’re dealing with GI issues like IBS, SIBO, EoE, IBD, or IMO, you may have heard of the elemental diet.

mBIOTA Elemental is a clinically proven, short-term liquid nutrition protocol that provides essential nutrients in their simplest forms, allowing much of the GI tract to rest and reset. It’s a nutrition-based alternative to antibiotics for managing GI conditions.

Developed by a patient and her doctors to improve the patient experience — without sacrificing effectiveness.

Learn more at mBIOTA.com and save 15% on the two-week protocol with code GUTSHOW15.

🩸 نقص الحديد لا يعني دائمًا وجود فقر دم!
من الأخطاء الشائعة الاعتقاد أن الهيموغلوبين الطبيعي يعني أن مستوى الحديد جيد. في الواقع، قد تبدأ مخازن الحديد بالانخفاض قبل أن يظهر فقر الدم بوقت طويل.
يمكن أن يظهر نقص الحديد بعدة صور:
• نقص مخزون الحديد دون أنيميا: يكون Ferritin منخفضًا بينما لا يزال الهيموغلوبين طبيعيًا، وقد تظهر أعراض مثل التعب، ضعف التركيز، تساقط الشعر أو ضعف القدرة على ممارسة الرياضة.
• نقص الحديد مع فقر الدم: مع استمرار استنزاف المخزون يبدأ الهيموغلوبين بالانخفاض، وقد تظهر الدوخة والخفقان والإرهاق وضيق النفس مع المجهود.
• نقص الحديد مع الالتهاب أو الأمراض المزمنة: قد يكون Ferritin طبيعيًا أو مرتفعًا بسبب الالتهاب رغم عدم توفر الحديد بصورة كافية للجسم؛ لذلك قد يحتاج التقييم إلى مؤشرات أخرى مثل TSAT.
• النساء صاحبات الدورات الشهرية الغزيرة، والحوامل، والأطفال والمراهقون وبعض المصابين بأمراض مزمنة من الفئات الأكثر عرضة لنقص الحديد.

🩸لا تنتظري انخفاض الهيموغلوبين لاكتشاف المشكلة. تقييم مخزون الحديد، وخصوصًا Ferritin مع بقية تحاليل الحديد عند الحاجة، قد يكشف النقص في مرحلة أبكر.
🩸 قد تكون تحاليل الدم الأساسية «طبيعية»… بينما مخزون الحديد لديكِ بدأ بالنفاد.

I JUST LOVE SEEING HIM HAPPY!!!! .. 🤗🤗
I thought I worked a lot until I started dating Billy.. this man wakes up between 3 and 4 AM every morning doesn’t get back to bed till 11- 11:30PM. So I make sure that when we’re done working and improving the lives of others, we improve ours by spending time with friends and family ❤️ this was one of those days. My favorite part about barbecues is not the food but it’s the time spent with friends and family. Watching the kids run around laughing and playing.. Watching the men on the grill as they’re joking around while watching the game. Hanging out with the women chatting and sharing a bit of gossip. 🤗😊🤪 Being in that environment is the highest vibration that exist because it’s filled with love joy and presence. ❤️❤️🤗 We’re fully in the moment. And it’s a reminder of what’s the most valuable thing in this wild journey called life.
This summer is amazing.. make sure you’re taking time to enjoy it.. 🤗❤️ special thanks to our friends Elbert and Hazel for the invite.. you two are magnetic! Looking forward to Antarctica! 🙏🏽🫶🏽

Si una gastroenteróloga pudiera recomendar una sola estrategia nutricional para reducir el riesgo de cáncer de colon, su respuesta sería clara:
Consumir más fibra. ¿Crees que consumes suficiente fibra cada día? Cuéntamelo en los comentarios.
La fibra alimenta a las bacterias beneficiosas del intestino, fortalece la microbiota y ayuda a producir compuestos que protegen la pared del colon.
No se trata de hacer una dieta extrema. Se trata de hacer pequeños cambios todos los días.
La prevención del cáncer de colon comienza mucho antes de una colonoscopía. Comienza con lo que eliges poner en tu plato cada día.

Los microplásticos ya están en el agua que bebemos, en los alimentos que consumimos... y ahora también se han encontrado en tejido de cáncer colorrectal. ¿Significa eso que causan cáncer?
La ciencia aún no puede afirmar una relación de causa y efecto. Pero la evidencia sí es lo suficientemente preocupante como para empezar a reducir nuestra exposición.
Según la Dra. Leybelis Padilla, los microplásticos pueden:
✔️ Alterar la microbiota intestinal.
✔️ Favorecer la inflamación.
✔️ Actuar como pequeñas "esponjas" que absorben toxinas del ambiente.
Aunque todavía quedan muchas preguntas por responder, cada vez más investigaciones apuntan a que podrían estar afectando nuestra salud mucho más de lo que imaginamos.
