How Pathogens and Parasites Are Ruining Your Gut Health

How Pathogens and Parasites Are Ruining Your Gut HealthIf you’ve been “doing everything right”—clean diet, supplements, detoxes—but still feel bloated, tired, inflamed, or stuck, this episode is going to change everything.

In Episode 15 of Healthcare Rewritten, Dr. Lena and Dr. Collin break down one of the most overlooked causes of chronic gut issues: hidden pathogens and parasites. These organisms—yeast, bacteria, viruses, and parasites—don’t just live in your gut. They hijack your immune system, steal nutrients, block detox pathways, and thrive when your terrain is sluggish or overwhelmed.

You’ll learn exactly why symptoms like bloating, constipation, anxiety, rashes, fatigue, sugar cravings, and food reactions often trace back to these microbes—and what to do about it.

What We Cover in This Episode:• Why pathogens show up in nearly every chronic case (thyroid, autoimmune, skin, etc.)• How parasites, yeast & bacteria increase gut permeability (“leaky gut”)• Why drainage must be open before killing pathogens• How pathogens trigger inflammation, immune confusion & neurotransmitter changes• Real stool-test stories: what shows up and why• Terrain Theory: why pathogens thrive in a stressed, stagnant gut• Common culprits: Blasto, Candida, Klebsiella, Giardia & more• The connection between liver detox, bile flow & pathogen overgrowth• What actually happens when die-off toxins recirculate

Tangible Takeaways:✔️ The 5-step protocol: Drainage → Starve → Support → Test → Retest✔️ Daily drainage habits (dry brushing, hydration, movement, magnesium, bitters)✔️ Foods that fuel pathogens vs. foods that rebalance the terrain✔️ Why late-night snacking makes symptoms worse✔️ Why “random parasite cleanses” can backfire✔️ What to write down when tracking digestion this week
