Health Tips

Heal Your Gut
Start By Healing Your Gut

About 25 years ago, when I was organizing what today is WholeHealth Chicago, I attempted to learn everything I could about all the fields of what was then called alternative medicine. Since naturopathic medicine, or naturopathy, didn’t really exist in Illinois (perpetually blocked by the Illinois State Medical Society), I flew to the west coast […]

AKKERMANSIA
AKKERMANSIA: THE “SHINING STAR” OF YOUR GUT FLORA

Go overboard with estrogen and all sorts of […]

UNDERSTANDING CANDIDA, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Patients come to WholeHealth Chicago regularly with this common refrain: “You’re the fourth (or seventh or tenth) doctor I’ve seen.
