Current research shows a correlation between mood and our microbiome–the dynamic world of bacteria, fungus and viruses that comprises more than 50% of our mortal selves.   Our internal microbes have a big influence on how we feel. They can make us feel grumpy and “shitty” or make us wound up with anxiety and hyperactivity (as in ADHD).   These bugs can even motivate us to eat comfort foods that make us gain weight.   The bad microbes can produce excessive acids that eat away at bowel mucosal lining, which creates gaps and leaky gut syndrome… And then toxins can escape the bowel into the inside of our bodies causing more havoc and inflammation anywhere, including the uterine lining, bladder, kidneys, heart, brain and skin. You name it. Inflammation starting in the gut can land anywhere.   When we have some kind of inflammation, the last thing we feel is happy and energetic! We feel miserable and “shitty”. Bad mood pervades those dealing with pain and inflammation.   To heal, we need to work two ends towards the middle by reducing stress, increasing rest and quality nutrients, and also stamping out the offending microbes.   Rather than resorting to a chemical pesticide (antibiotic) that kills all the microbes and sterilizes the gut, a better way is pollinating with other beneficial bacteria so they can fight the good war in the gut and win for us. The fastest way to get that new garden planted is to replace the whole microbiome with a healthy donor’s diverse microbiome (fecal transplant).   From constipation to cancer, heart disease, obesity, autism, Alzheimer’s, and more, discover why therapies may not be working for many…   Tune in and find out more about the latest microbiome research showing how fecal transplants may be the basis for future advances in health and wellness, and a part of the solution for many people with shitty moods and beyond.

When it comes to long-distance relationships, absence is a lens that magnifies and distorts our feelings. When a partner is out of sight, our minds transform into a blank screen onto which it is easy to project horror movies that are more like sequels to your past traumas. In no time, you’re bracing for lightning to strike twice. If, for example, somebody in your past cast you off, you’re already casting yourself as the lead in the movie Castaway, Part 2– meaning you’re waiting for another rejection. Fear of being dumped (or cheated on) is one of many fears that get sparked when you’re in a long-distance relationship. In this show, I will help you get on top of these fears. Tune in and discover my proven techniques for taking your long-distance love to the finish line!

Are you trapped in a one-sided relationship and not even know it? Do you give more than you receive in your relationship? Do you keep giving more and more and not getting back what you want? Do you often feel burned out by your relationship? Does your partner make excuses for not calling or coming around? Are you sexually exclusive with a partner who is sleeping with other people besides you? Meaning are you nothing more than friends with benefits? Do you ignore what your partner says about how he/she feels about you? Specifically, does your partner tell you things aren’t serious but you don’t take these words seriously? If you said yes to any of my questions, you could be in an imaginary relationship! Tune in and find out if you’re clinging to the ghost of a relationship that doesn’t truly exist.  Post navigation ← Previous Post [https://askdrlove.com/radio-shows/how-to-live-your-best-life-with-the-legendary-jack-canfield/]
