#91: The Best Parasite Cleanse Is the One You Don't Do (And Here's Why)

Somewhere along the way, the internet decided that everyone has a parasite, and that a parasite is behind everything from bloating after meals to waking up in the middle of the night to itchy, dry skin. The answer always seems to be an expensive cleanse. Yet, in the five years I've been doing this work, I've done exactly one parasite protocol with one client.

In this hot take episode, I'm breaking down my thoughts on parasites and what you actually need to do in order to resolve your symptoms.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why a parasite feels like such a believable answer when nothing else has worked (and how social media blew it way out of proportion)

• What those long, stringy things people post from the toilet really are, and how parasite cleanse supplements can end up causing them

• What I've actually seen show up on GI-MAPs in all my years of reading them, and how I handle single-celled parasites like Blastocystis hominis when they do show up

• The gut issues I usually find instead, and why a cleanse can make a depleted microbiome even worse
