Parasite symptoms are often missed because they do not always look like obvious diarrhea or stomach pain. Hidden parasite symptoms can also show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin reactions, bloating, nutrient depletion, and stubborn digestive issues that never fully resolve.

In this video, Dr. Justin Marchegiani breaks down 5 hidden parasite symptoms doctors often miss, why parasite-related symptoms can be overlooked on routine workups, and how to think through these patterns from a root-cause, functional medicine perspective. If you deal with ongoing gut issues, low energy, strange symptoms that come and go, or symptoms that worsen after travel, food exposures, or immune stress, this episode will help you understand what may be contributing.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ How parasite symptoms can show up outside the gut, including fatigue, skin reactions, and brain fog.
✅ Why bloating, malabsorption, and nutrient deficiencies may point to a deeper gut issue.
✅ How parasites can contribute to immune activation, inflammation, and chronic digestive irritation.
✅ Which hidden warning signs are commonly missed on conventional evaluations.
✅ How a root-cause approach may help you investigate and address the problem more effectively.

📘 Dr. J's Thyroid Book (The Thyroid Reboot): https://www.thyroidreboot.com

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects 10–15% of the population — yet most people are told "everything looks normal" and sent home with no real answers. If you're struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, or brain fog, IBS may be the label, but it's rarely the root cause.

In this episode, functional medicine doctor and licensed chiropractor Dr. Justin Marchegiani breaks down what IBS actually is, why conventional medicine so often fails IBS patients, and the hidden root causes driving your symptoms that most gastroenterologists never test for.

What You'll Learn:

• Why IBS is a "diagnosis of exclusion" — and what that really means for your health
• The three IBS patterns (IBS-C, IBS-D, IBS-M) and how to identify yours
• Hidden gut triggers: SIBO, parasites, dysbiosis, candida, and leaky gut
• How food sensitivities, gluten, and enzyme deficiencies drive IBS flares
• The gut-brain axis: why chronic stress and cortisol wreck your digestion
• Functional medicine lab tests and natural strategies to heal IBS at the root

Who This Episode Is For: Anyone diagnosed with IBS, chronic digestive issues, inflammatory bowel problems, or unexplained gut symptoms who wants real answers — not just symptom management.

Why This Natural Compound Can Reduce Pain Like Ibuprofen (Without the Gut Damage) | Podcast #470

Chronic pain and inflammation are some of the most common reasons people rely on NSAIDs like ibuprofen. While these drugs can provide short-term relief, long-term use is linked to gut irritation, ulcers, kidney stress, and increased cardiovascular risk. That’s where natural anti-inflammatory compounds come in.

One compound in particular has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation through many of the same pathways as ibuprofen, without damaging the gut lining. From joint pain and muscle soreness to headaches and inflammatory flare-ups, this natural option offers a functional medicine approach that supports healing rather than just masking symptoms.

In this video, Dr. Justin breaks down how this compound works, why absorption matters more than dosage, and how to use it safely and effectively as part of a root-cause strategy for inflammation and pain relief.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How this natural compound reduces inflammation through COX-2 and NF-κB pathways.

✅ Why ibuprofen and NSAIDs can damage gut health over time.

✅ How to use natural pain relief without increasing reflux or ulcer risk.

✅ Why bioavailability determines whether supplements actually work.

✅ When natural anti-inflammatories make sense for chronic vs acute pain.

📘 Dr. J's New Thyroid Book: https://www.thyroidreboot.com

Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest hidden drivers behind fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, weight gain, hormone imbalance, and autoimmune issues. While acute inflammation is part of normal healing, long-term inflammation silently damages tissues and keeps your body stuck in a stress response.

In this video, Dr. Justin Marchegiani breaks down the root causes of chronic inflammation, why it persists even when labs look “normal,” and how functional medicine addresses the problem at its source. You’ll learn how gut health, blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, infections, and chronic stress all feed the inflammatory fire and what you can do to calm it down naturally.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How gut dysfunction and food sensitivities trigger systemic inflammation

✅ Why blood sugar instability fuels inflammatory hormones

✅ How hidden infections and dysbiosis keep inflammation turned on

✅ The role of nutrient deficiencies in poor immune regulation

✅ How stress, sleep loss, and cortisol imbalance worsen inflammation
