At some point your body is going to rebel if it hasn’t already. The mysterious aches and pains that go undiagnosed by your traditional doctor often turn out to be symptoms of The Yeast Syndrome.

You see, C. albicans is a yeast that naturally lives in the body, primarily in our intestines and mouths. Other gut microorganisms help us digest and absorb nutrition. However, certain factors like the over-consumption of sugars and carbs, may lead to overgrowth of yeast, which do not appear to be helpful. Also, the overconsumption of alcohol, which is basically sugar, carbohydrates such as bread, potatoes, pasta, and cereals also feed the yeast.

For some people, there is an endless stream of food and the yeast has an endless feast. This is how the yeast basically takes over wreaking havoc inside the body. It goes wild and produces toxins by which it chokes off the natural flow of health, causing or worsening a variety of conditions. You may experience skin issues in the form of infections or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, nail infections, and/or exhaustion. And THAT is just a short list of all the human discomforts, distresses, and ailments that I documented from the medical literature in my 1986 Bantam bestseller, The Yeast Syndrome.

You don’t have to fall for all the suffering associated with the feasting. With specific help to make it much easier, you could learn to exercise some control by finding out the root of the aches and pains you’ve been suffering from without relief for too long. Give my office a call. We’ll get to the real source of your suffering, and you’ll learn how to rise to every occasion for celebration in a way that celebrates your health. You could go on for another few years, hoping to find a doctor to help with your many problems, but why? Contact us today – your joyful, comfortable, and more capable future is just around the corner.

Whether you have been living with chronic back pain – which keeps millions of people committed to the mainstream medical merry-go-round hoping for relief – or any other kind of chronic pain/illness that no specialist seems to know how to end/cure. Most people just trust their doctors, and why wouldn’t they? How would you know if the recommended treatment is what you need? After all, the doctor simply said, “You need a cortisone shot” – or a “steroid shot” – or a “corticosteroid.” Or they say, “You need surgery.” So many people have multiple shots and multiple surgeries. And they still live in pain.

The doctors don’t typically tell you the serious side effects that cortisone could have, changing your body permanently. Most mainstream doctors don’t talk about the amazing healing system that is the human body. We are self-healing beings. When a doctor takes the time to understand a patient’s history and get to the source of the problem and then work with the self-healing human body, it’s amazing how quickly real healing happens.

Are you ready to give this approach a try? If you are, give my office a call. This is the only approach I have taken for over 40 years giving my patients a life that celebrates health – not simply with relieving pain but also with correcting many other distresses and discomforts that stress your life beyond belief. Time to “start believing” that help is actually within your reach, right now!

Temperature extremes most directly affect health by compromising the body’s ability to regulate its internal temperature. Loss of internal temperature control can result in various illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and hyperthermia from extreme heat events.
It’s important to stay hydrated. I mean with WATER and appropriate salt if you are sweating enough, not with sweet tea, sugary drinks, or milk shakes. Good old H2O is what the body needs to maintain temperature control.

Certain health conditions are more prone to flare up in heat than others. For instance, people with arthritis often report that heat has an adverse effect on their condition (although some claim they feel better!). Also, those with autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, and migraines, need to be extra cautious in the heat. In addition, respiratory illnesses are also particularly vulnerable to excessive heat. This year, it’s not just the heat we are dealing with. We also have smoke in the air from Canada and California. This is one summer that is too hot to handle. And dust in the air from the Sahara. So please, stay smart. Stay hydrated. And stay inside if you can. And remember that water is your body’s best friend – and sweating increases your need for salt … yes, it’s a dance to coordinate with your doctor.

If you have compromised health conditions and are ready to look for the real cause of your condition instead of taking more medications or scheduling more surgeries, give my office a call. The conditions I mentioned above may be indications that you are suffering as a result of (or perhaps worsened by) The Yeast Syndrome. I’ve been helping my patients achieve better states of health when they’ve been diagnosed by the mainstream medical industry with even more serious conditions for almost 45 years. Let’s work together to help you get through the summer and to a place where you can celebrate health … for many more delightful years to come, with your spouse, your friends, your children and grandchildren!

HOUSTON. TX, June ••, 2023: Dr. John Trowbridge, Marquis Who’s Who Top Doctor in Advanced Medicine and the recipient of the Marquis Who’s Who Lifetime Achievement Award, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Taming Your Inner Yeast,” in which Dr. Trowbridge returns to one of his favorite topics, about which he has lectured around the world.

According to Dr. Trowbridge, “What happens far too often is that a person will see several doctors for a variety of different symptoms and be treated without having a clear understanding or diagnosis of the “problem” and without seeing improvement. In cases like this,” he adds, “my professional experience suggests it is very likely to be a problem of “yeast” overgrowth.”

Dr. Trowbridge explains, “While everyone has yeast, Candida, living in our intestines and our mouths, which might help us digest and absorb nutrients, there are certain factors that may lead to the overgrowth of this naturally occurring yeast. Such an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to a variety of problems that are usually not detected by mainstream medical professionals.” He elaborates, “High stress, high sugar, and carbohydrate consumption, eating fermented foods, drinking alcohol, and more, are just some activities that can lead to yeast overgrowth, which I call The Yeast Syndrome.”

As Dr. Trowbridge notes, “This overgrowth of yeast can cause or worsen a variety of conditions. One may experience skin issues or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, irritability, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, exhaustion, or skin and nail infections. When left undiagnosed and not correctly treated over the long-term, The Yeast Syndrome can also complicate or perhaps even lead to the development of heart disease, diabetes, and more.”

About Dr. John Parks Trowbridge

Finding answers and effective treatments in these troubled times can seem almost impossible. Almost. A doctor with exceptional training, experience, and skill might be the solution you’ve desperately been seeking. Recognized across the country and around the world for his innovative approach to healing, Dr. Trowbridge and his devoted support staff of dozens of years are committed to a simple slogan: “Find it now – Fix it right!”
A growing number of practitioners – many not even physicians – profess to offer various “alternative” treatments. Very few, however, have lectured around the world, have chaired and presented at dozens of conferences, have written scores of educational articles, have produced over 50 CDs and DVDs to make tests and treatments understandable, and even have authored best-selling books. Quite simply, Dr. Trowbridge now accepts as patients only those few who finally are insistent on finding and treating the cause for their problems – through listening to your detailed history, a hands-on physical exam, selective cutting-edge tests beyond “the usual,” and novel reasoning that can explain why you are suffering and devise personalized programs to restore your better health for years to come. Regardless of your problems. Many promise, few deliver.

Biological sciences as a National Merit Scholar at Stanford, graduate studies in immunology starting in 1968, research in vaccine technology from 1967-1970, medical studies at Case Western Reserve, graduate training in general and urological surgery, master’s diploma in nutritional and preventive medicine, extensive studies with leading physicians, Senior Aviation Medical Examiner for the FAA, medical director for a mold remediation company, focus on infections resulting from obscure molds/fungi/bacteria/parasites/viruses, research and writing and practice to address puzzling diseases that have evaded diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Trowbridge brings to bear this vast background in discovering the root causes of suffering and designing effective ways to help each and every patient. Never assume that drugs or surgery are the only options you have for finally feeling better. Dozens of years leading professional associations have provided the platform to share his many innovations with physicians around the world.

Helping to get people out of their pain and on with their lives, Dr. Trowbridge’s non-surgical treatments have helped relieve suffering for dozens of years: arthritis, neck and back pains, joint pains, accidents, sports injuries. An expert in heavy metal toxicology, his leading “chelation therapy” programs remove lead, arsenic, mercury and more, to revitalize the lives of patients with assorted degenerative conditions. Two patients were removed from the heart transplant list as they unexpectedly recovered. While “detox” is now a popular theme in modern culture, his career-long strategies have given a powerful definition to the recovery of vibrant health.
Intent on sharing his innovative diagnostic and treatment perspectives, Dr. Trowbridge has been honored as an invited lecturer in Taiwan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and across the States. His patients travel from far and wide, frustrated with still feeling sick and tired despite the best of conventional care and hopeful, finally, for relief. Those who cannot easily travel have been helped with teleconsultations on the phone, with testing and treatments very similar to many of those available through the office.

He attributes his practice success to a simple unwavering devotion: pose challenging questions and actively seek out practical answers. Dr. Trowbridge has been honored for his expertise by being featured on the June 2022 cover of Townsend Letter, the premier journal of alternative medicine, and his landmark article, “Sill Missing the Yeast Diagnosis?” appears in the June and July editions (www.townsendletter.com). You can read this and many more articles, watch or listen to some 5 dozen DVDs and CDs on his website: www.healthCHOICESnow.com – because if you don’t know that you have choices now, then you don’t have any!
Expounding on his passion and success in discovering and developing effective treatments for desperate patients has led to Editor’s Choice awards for chapters in books co-authored with luminaries Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, and Larry King. The Yeast Syndrome, published by Bantam Books, continues to be a bestseller since 1986.

While everyone has yeast, Candida, living in our intestines and our mouths, which might help us digest and absorb nutrients, there are certain factors that may lead to the overgrowth of this naturally occurring yeast. Such an imbalance in the gut microbiome can lead to a variety of problems that are usually not detected by mainstream medical professionals. High stress, high sugar, and carbohydrate consumption, eating fermented foods, drinking alcohol and more, are just some activities that can lead to yeast overgrowth, which I call The Yeast Syndrome.

This overgrowth of yeast can cause or worsen a variety of conditions. One may experience skin issues or rashes, vaginal or rectal infections, irritability, mood swings, depression, digestive issues, exhaustion, or skin and nail infections. When left undiagnosed and not correctly treated over the long-term, The Yeast Syndrome can also complicate or perhaps even lead to the development of heart disease, diabetes, and more. So many of our illness problems are interrelated, yet they are treated as separate “conditions” by most medical professionals (remember “specialists”). I can assure you though, that properly diagnosing and taking care of The Yeast Syndrome could solve or improve many health issues and even some that you haven’t yet experienced.

In 1986, I wrote the book on taming the inner yeast. It is simply called, The Yeast Syndrome. Bantam Books still publishes it today, as a continuing favorite. For 40 years now, I have been helping patients otherwise frustrated with the lack of improvement they’ve received on the mainstream medical merry-go-round to recover their health and the joy of living. If you are still suffering from symptoms that have not been helped, give my office a call and let’s get to the root of your health issues. Let’s find out if you have an overgrowth of inner yeast that needs to be tamed. Trust me…it will be a lot easier now than it could be later.

My whole point is that summertime brings with it a whole new set of temptations that to some people seem irresistible. People eat themselves into food comas and don’t understand why they feel so bad. This sends them running straight into the arms of the many doctors and medical professionals that are going to prescribe another pill or even possibly suggest a surgery. The mainstream medical professionals rarely tell you what not to eat. Oh, they might say you should lose a few pounds, but that’s about as far as they typically go.

We must eat and as a nation we have access to extraordinary abundance. Each season has its own special “food”, and each season finds so many people feeling worse and worse.

With all the sugar and flour and processed foods being hawked at summer events, it’s no wonder so many Americans are sick. Most people who eat processed foods on a regular basis very often have what I call The Yeast Syndrome that gives rise to all kinds of ailments that the medical industry doesn’t consider. Sure, doctors might caution you about the prospect of diabetes or what is now considered “pre-diabetic syndrome” (“metabolic syndrome” or “cardiometabolic syndrome’). But yeast? No, no thought of the complications that might be developing!

Nourishing Food Makes You Feel Good

Real food improves energy, reduces pain and inflammation in the body and is actually the most powerful “medicine” on the planet. But you have to know what real food is, buy it, take it home, prepare it, and sit down to enjoy it.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired and are ready to commit to nourishing your body instead of consuming things that make you sick, give my office a call. I have been helping people turn their lives around by getting to the root of their health issues. And so many issues are a direct effect of diet. As the former Surgeon General of the United States, C. Everett Koop said, “You can’t medicate your way out of a condition you ate yourself into.” I will keep sharing this statement as often as I can. It sums up how out of alignment the mainstream medical industry is with what constitutes “health care.” Today’s “medical care” is an after-the-fact response to the worsening conditions we have ourselves created. It’s time to care for your health and health care in a different way. It’s time to feel better and perhaps even feel great again

Ask many younger Americans “Where does food come from?” and the answer will often be “From the grocery store or from restaurants.” In 1940, the occupation of most of our people was “farmer” – with modern equipment (and with “modern agriculture,” which has many worrisome issues!), very few farmers are needed to feed all of us today.

It’s no wonder that we have more obese children with diabetes and heart disease. It’s no wonder that heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and other “lifestyle” diseases are responsible for increased healthcare costs, not to mention untimely deaths.

Our Brains Are Hurting

We are a nation addicted to sitting around on our behinds and eating until we are literally sick. But the focus here is on the brain and how the foods most Americans are eating is doing a number on their brains.

Studies have shown that people with high intakes of trans fats in their diet have a higher risk of developing dementia. If you don’t know what trans fats are, heres’ a brief explanation. Trans fats are those that occur in hydrogenated vegetable oils. Trans fats can be found in processed foods throughout almost every shelf in every supermarket. Spreads and icings, pastries, breads, cookies, chips, fried foods, ad infinitum. You’ll find trans fats in all ultra-processed foods.

Even though the FDA banned trans fats in commercially produced food, the FDA is lenient in allowing manufacturers wide berth in what they are allowed to declare on their labels about the presence of trans fats. Make no mistake: In no way have trans fats been eliminated from processed foods.

Use Your Brain Or Lose It

Dr. Christopher Weber, Director of Global Science initiatives at the Alzheimer’s Association has stated that “Research looking at the relationship between diet and cognition is well-established. There is strong evidence to suggest that what is good for the heart is good for the head, and we know a healthy diet is good for the heart.” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dementia-and-diet-is-there-a-link#The-MIND-diet

A study conducted by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has linked processed meat products, such as sausages, salami, and bacon, with dementia. The study shows that “Regular consumption of processed meat increased the relative risk of all dementias by 44% and Alzheimer’s disease by 52%.” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/dementia-and-diet-is-there-a-link#Processed-food-may-increase-risk

Other research has focused on how poor gut health might affect the brain. Diets that are high in ultra-processed foods are typically low in fiber, which is mostly found in plant-based foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Fiber helps feed the good bacteria in the gut. Fiber is also necessary for the production of short-chain fatty acids, (including butyric acid), the substances produced when it breaks down in the digestive system, and which play an important role in brain function.

You can’t expect your mainstream medical doctor to help you by giving you a prescription for the latest weight loss drug. In the words of C. Everett Koop, M.D., Surgeon General of the United States, in 1988, “You cannot medicate yourself out of a disease that you ate yourself into.” He steadfastly offered that “Your choice of diet can influence your long-term health prospects more than any other action you might take.”

No matter how you look at it, what you put into your mouth is either helping or hurting your brain and the rest of your body. Lifestyle changes are without question, difficult. But once you commit to eating to live instead of living to eat, it gets easier and more delicious. If you’re ready to start treating your brain right, give me a call. I’ve been helping my patients turn their diets around and turn their lives around for the better. Since 1983, I’ve developed a number of dietary approaches to help most everyone to lead a more vibrant, joyful, enthusiastic life. Is it time for your to look forward to a brighter future?

The post Your Diet Could Be Contributing To Dementia appeared first on John Parks Trowbridge, M.D..

Fact is roughly 60 percent of the calories in the average American diet come from ultra-processed foods. Some 70 percent of the packaged foods sold in the United States are considered ultra-processed and they’re edging out healthier foods as they become even more widely consumed across all socioeconomic groups. One of the major offenders is “corn syrup solids,” which is used as a “sugar-like sweetener” that actually works as a chemical inside your body. But it’s cheap so it’s used a lot!

We’ve known for decades that eating such packaged products is linked to unwelcome health outcomes, like an increased risk of diabetes, obesity, cancer, tooth decay, and even worse! Yet those numbers indicate that people are loathe to give up those kinds of “foods”. The physical risks are well-known and obvious. But even more concerning are the results of recent studies pointing to another major downside to these irresistible foods: They appear to have a significant negative impact on various organs and our brain health too.

A recent New York Times article reports that in one 2022 study of over 10,000 adults in the U.S., “the more UPFs participants ate, the more likely they were to report mild depression or feelings of anxiety. There was a significant increase in mentally unhealthy days for those eating 60 percent or more of their calories from UPFs.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/04/well/eat/ultraprocessed-food-mental-health

Food is the first line of defense when it comes to our health. In fact, it is the only line of defense, since we make our defense system, our digestive organs, everything inside, from foods that we eat. There are NO other choices! What you put into your body directly affects your health. Put in good quality food and you get good quality energy and health. The body is so amazing that it can endure decades of being filled with stuff that can barely be called food before it starts to malfunction. It takes commitment and discipline to break oneself from the habit of eating UPFs. But the way you feel typically is reward enough to keep going.

The popular artificial sweetener aspartame, is sold under various registered names – such as NutraSweet, equal, Canderel, Neotame, and so on – and their promoters will give you all kinds of fairytale stories about how the product has been researched more than any other. After the FDA passed the use of aspartame in 1983 for carbonated drinks, there seemed to be an emerging problem with pilots suffering from various conditions including migraines, seizures, tremors, eyesight problems and other neurological episodes.  Ingesting aspartame laced products such as chewing gum, diet cokes and sodas, hot chocolate drinks etc., seemed to be the trigger.  Many articles have been published since 1986 about the dangers of aspartame and the susceptibility of pilots to seizures, vertigo, and hypoxia.

Are you ready to kick the UPF habit? Are you aware that I have constructed food programs for people for over 45 years? Are you feeling bad enough yet? If so, give my office a call and let us help you educate yourself and arm yourself with information that will nourish your body and mind … and restore and help maintain better health for many years to come.

In the spirit of springtime, I would like to offer a greater sense of hope if you are suffering with conditions that all the specialists you’ve been to still can’t rectify. What so many people don’t realize, especially those dealing with blood pressure, blood sugar, congestive heart failure, and even dietary issues, is that there are key factors very likely making their condition worse. But, most mainstream doctors simply don’t know what steps their suffering patients could take to make a difference.

The point is that the kind of health “care” that makes you truly better requires special expertise in the science of metabolism and nutrition. While that sounds so simple you may wonder why have doctors missed it? Those who don’t have a strong basic science background and special training in dealing with metabolic processes simply don’t know how to help you.

Mainstream medical doctors are trained to write prescriptions to ease the distress or even pain of symptoms. They are not trained to get to the root of what is causing the symptoms. And, of course, specialists are only trained in their specialty which excludes all other parts of the human body.

When you see how we approach defining and treating your problems, you’ll understand why I studied to receive a Diplomate in Preventive Medicine for master’s-level graduate studies in nutrition in 1985. And you’ll understand why I have written award-winning bestselling books and produced over 5 dozen CDs and DVDs to explain for you the essential principles of regaining and maintaining better health. No “doc in a box” mentality – remember, “one size fits none.” You are special, you deserve the best scientific results we can offer.

I would like to suggest you give yourself a renewed approach to your health care. Discover how refreshing and rejuvenating it can be when you discover treatment that can help reduce your need for drugs and make you feel better than you’ve felt in ages. It really can be simpler than you think!

Seriously … is your future worth the investment of time, energy, and expense for you to live your days joyfully, sharing enthusiasm with your family and friends? Give my office a call and let’s get you feeling refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated for all the other seasons of the year and your life.

So, how will you ever feel better if you keep looking for health in all the wrong places? You simply won’t. You must step off the mainstream medical merry-go-round. You must do something out of the ordinary. You must look to a medical professional who has broken with tradition and who works with the miraculous healing properties of the human body, mind, and spirit. Today these medical professionals are called integrative doctors. I am an integrative doctor and have been for 40+ years.

Look For Health In The Right Places

Integrative doctors work with patients to get to the true source of the discomfort, the dis-ease, whatever it is. We spend quite a bit of time with our patients. We get to know them, how they think, how they live, how, when and what they eat, what traumatic events they may have lived through or may still be living with. Everything in a person’s life contributes to either health or lack of health. We take an integrative approach to health and wellness. We work with all aspects of the amazing human being and its miraculous system.

We look for things that those in the mainstream medical professional poo-poo as non-existent, for instance, the Yeast Syndrome that causes so much pain and suffering. We suggest and help patients incorporate easy, small, yet meaningful lifestyle changes that make big differences in how they feel. You simply cannot medicate yourself out of a disease you ate yourself into – you require a specialized physician with specialized training and experience, expertise blended with compassion and a dedication to help you restore better health.

It’s not just what you put in your mouth, it’s also what you think, what you watch, listen to, and read on a regular basis that contributes to inner harmony or inner anxiety and fear. No pill or surgery can change your mind for you.

Health And Well Being Come From The Inside Out, Not From The Outside In

That’s right, despite the amazing accomplishments made in the medical industry, and there are many that are essential starting with putting broken bones back in place so the body can do it’s healing, and despite the ability to go inside the body and remove things, replace hearts and lungs and remove plaque from arteries, no pill or surgery can do what the body does naturally without help from any of us humans. These technical advancements help people sometimes briefly, sometimes longer term. But unless you go within and work with the gift of life that is flowing within you constantly and learn how to support it…or more likely to get out of Its way, you’ll always be looking for health and answers outside of yourself from people who want to give you the latest pill or surgery.

No doctor created the miraculous life that flows through every living thing on this planet. No doctor can take credit for the brilliance that flows through you. But those of us who work with this incredible life force can help get you back on track to feeling better and celebrating a healthier way of life. If you’re ready to step off the insanity loop, give my office a call and let’s start working with your brilliant life force.
