About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of H. pylori on skin and hormones, exploring symptoms, testing, and eradication methods.

Over 50% of people have H. pylori and have no idea — and it could be the root cause behind your acne, fatigue, and hormone chaos. Katie and Cris are finally dedicating a full episode to one of the most common findings on their clients' GI maps: H. pylori. In this episode, they break down what H. pylori actually is, how you pick it up, why it's so hard to get rid of, and the very real damage it does to your stomach acid, nutrient absorption, hormones, and skin. They also get into why antibiotics alone often don't work, what a proper eradication protocol actually looks like, and why rebuilding after is just as important as clearing it in the first place. In This Episode We Cover What H. pylori is, how it survives in the stomach, and why so many people have it without knowing. The sneaky symptoms that could be pointing to an active H. pylori infection. Why low stomach acid, iron deficiency, and acne are all connected to H. pylori. How to test for H. pylori and why functional stool testing gives you a clearer picture. Why antibiotics alone often fail and what a natural eradication approach looks like. The critical rebuilding phase most people skip that keeps them stuck in the cycle…
