Should you do a parasite cleanse?

Parasite cleanses are everywhere—from social media to the supplement aisle—but do you actually need one? In this episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, Dr. Vickie breaks down the science behind parasites, parasitic infections, and the growing claims that a parasite cleanse can fix fatigue, bloating, weight gain, or even prevent cancer. You’ll learn: What parasites really are and how people actually get them Which parasitic infections are seen in the U.S. (and which ones aren’t) The truth about parasites and cancer risk Why common symptoms like gas and bloating are rarely caused by parasites What parasite cleanses claim to do—and what the evidence actually shows When testing and medical treatment are appropriate Where ivermectin fits into the conversation (and where it doesn’t) If you’ve ever wondered whether you need to “deworm,” this episode separates fact from hype and explains why real diagnosis matters more than internet trends. Evidence-based medicine, minus the fear tactics—and definitely minus the worms. Healthy Looks Great on You
