Digestive issues are the root cause of a whole lot of health problems. That makes sense because, after all, the digestive system is the root system of the body. Sometimes digestive symptoms are easy to fix once you know what’s causing the problem. Sometimes all it takes is a little help from a digestive supplement like Betaine HCL or enzymes. But then there are also cases that can be really challenging to fix, even once the cause of the problem is identified. For those big, tough stubborn cases we called in the big gun, Dr. Michael Ruscio, Functional Medicine Physician 007. Dr. Ruscio has an excellent podcast of his own that we totally recommend you listen to. Look for a link to it below.
