In this “Mental Health Is Physical Health” series episode, I sit down with members of my functional medicine telehealth team to talk all about intestinal parasites. From the different types of parasites, symptoms to watch out for, how to find out if you have a parasite, and treatments for getting rid of these foreign invaders, we cover everything you've ever wanted to know about this often misunderstood subject. Plus, we take a look at when parasite infection can actually be a good thing (yes, you read that correctly!) and the various beliefs - aka emotional parasites - that we cling to that can be just as detrimental to our health and physical parasites.
A few of my favorite things we cover this episode:
- The main types of parasites that you can see in lab work.
- What lab work you need to run in order to find out if you have an intestinal parasite.
- Symptoms of a parasite infection to look out for.
- The best foods, supplements, and tools to overcome a parasite infection.
- All about helminthic therapy and why giving yourself parasites could actually be helpful for those with autoimmune conditions.
- Why certain core beliefs that you've held to for years can be a form of an emotional parasite, damaging your mental and emotional wellbeing.
- Our favorite steps you can take right now to shed these emotional parasites and shift your mindset.
