Hey everyone, @Tina Haupert and I just filmed a podcast (it's not out yet, but I have the recording) where we discussed a few topics: nervous system dysregulation, poor responders to GLPs, and we talked about the potential dangers of NAD+ and MOTS-c. I really enjoyed this episode, and I am very eager to share lol
Hey everyone, If you can't make the Q&A tomorrow, go ahead and drop your questions in the comments below. I'll do my best to cover them live on the call, and anything I don't get to I'll follow up on afterward, either by replying here on the thread or recording a quick Loom video.
Starting to help my wife's aunt. She has had GERD for years and taken a PPI for a long time. She is of of it now, but still has periodic GERD symptoms. She now has calcium deficeny along with osteoperosis. I was thinking on honing in on the gut health with her, fix that to allow for better nutrient absorption. Is GERD commonly a result of malfunctioning valve or something else? What is the best way to rebalance the stomach acid to a healthy point?
@Chandler Coker there are a few mechanisms but in this case it's probably just low stomach acid and starting with HCL and TUDCA could help. It's important to support bile because bile is what neutralizes the stomach acid in the small intestine so when bile has a deficiency or poor flow, we see a reduction in HCL, this is why it's important to supplement with at least TUDCA because if you give HCL without adequate bile flow, you can damage the small intestine. Yeast can also disrupt stomach acid by inhibiting the parietal cell that secret HCL along with damaging the mucosa lining which will down regulate HCL to protect the lining.
I know Curtis has mention this several times, but I cant find any of the calls that really break down the difference between the three. I read the Thymalin peptide resource guide you wrote. Can you give a brief overview of each one and when to use one over the other.
@Chandler Coker they are different, Thymogen Alpha 1 contains Vilon as well. I would use the Thymogen injection, I never really found Thymogen Alpha 1 to do much even in my elderly clients. I do believe there is poor bioavailability and not a very strong driver of immune education and balancing, but if your thymus gland is severely deteriorated, it would most likely have some impact hence the Russian literature. The individual who taught me about Thymogen Alpha 1 claimed they never got sick because of it and then like a week later they were sick LOL
