Dr Rachel Fresco is an acupuncturist, PhD, and founder and CEO of Bio-Botanical Research. Since 1989, Dr. Fresco has utilized her background in naturopathy, Chinese medicine, and clinical nutrition to create products that have a significant impact on challenging clinical conditions. She joins Rebecca to discuss how herbal therapies can be useful in the treatment of SIBO and biofilms. On today's podcast, they discuss: - The Bio-Botanical Research range of products - Why it’s important to use a biofilm buster in your treatment protocol and why biofilms can contain both bacteria and yeasts - Why we should be supporting our treatment protocols with a seasonally appropriate diet - Why we should consider our detoxification pathways when treating an overgrowth and biofilms - Why die-off symptoms can be like for some patients - Why we should all work with a practitioner who can oversee our treatment and monitor our symptoms - Why botanicals are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic - Why using a blend of various herbs can be more easily tolerated than single herbs alone - Why chronic sinus infections should be treated with a nasal biofilm buster - Dr Fresco’s views on using probiotics during SIBO treatment and why she favours spore-based probiotics To access the show notes or to sign up to The Healthy Gut Podcast to receive the full transcription of all shows from Season 2, head to https://thehealthygut.co/biobotanical.
