What is your Biome Burden waiting to tell you?

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas · host Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 139th episode I sit down with Chase Zittrauer, Rep for Cyrex Labs, to discuss a new test called the BiomeBurden Complete. This ground breaking lab panel looks at the gut microbiome (bacterial) and mycobiome (yeast/fungus) as seen through the lens of the immune system. By that I mean, given the status of those little microorganisms living in your gut, this lab test looks at how your immune system observes the situation. If for example there is a Candida overgrowth, your immune system may or may not be reacting to the situation the same as the next person. But for many, antibody production against Candida, for example, can lead to immune reactions elsewhere in the body! So gut does not really mean just the gut.... It can mean any other part of your body! And if you are in the autoimmune population, this can be a very important detail to your health and wellness. Consider the person who has been to a ton of doctors, had a bunch of tests run, and still has persistent and "strange" symptoms. Well, there could be a lurking immune cross-reactivity concern at play between organisms in your gut and self-tissues elsewhere int he body. The BiomeBurden Complete can be a great way to start to peel back the layers of the onion so to speak and get to those kinds of immune-driving mechanisms. Chase and I discuss this concept in detail, and more... Much much more. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you will as well!
