#982: Why Your SIBO, EBV & Infections Keep Coming Back

Menopause does way more than trigger hot flashes. When estrogen drops, so does nitric oxide — the molecule that controls your blood pressure, gut motility, stomach acid, and gut barrier. Liz and Becca break down the estrogen–nitric oxide connection and why so many women suddenly develop bloating, reflux, food sensitivities, high blood pressure, and leaky gut in perimenopause and menopause. You'll learn why HRT alone isn't the fix, how your oral microbiome controls nitric oxide production, the testing that finds your real root cause, and the foods and nutrients that actually move the needle. Functional medicine for menopause, gut health, and hormones — minus the fluff.

In this episode of The Health Revival Show, I tackle the persistent issues of SIBO, EBV, and recurring infections that plague so many of you. If you've been struggling with these health challenges, you might be wondering why they keep returning despite your best efforts. The truth is, the infections themselves are often not the primary problem; rather, the focus should be on your immune system's ability to resolve these infections. I delve into the importance of immune regulation, the role of nutrients like vitamin D, and how chronic inflammation can lead to a breakdown in immune function. Join me as we explore actionable strategies to rebuild your immune health, so you can finally break the cycle of recurring symptoms and reclaim your vitality.

Still dealing with fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, or weird hormone swings that started after COVID or the jab? Spike proteins may be the missing piece. In this episode, we break down what spike proteins are, why they linger in the body for months or even years, and how they drive chronic inflammation, blood clots, leaky gut, hormone chaos, and a stuck immune system. You'll learn about the under-$60 LabCorp test that measures your spike antibody levels, what your numbers actually mean, and the research-backed natural compounds — nattokinase, bromelain, curcumin, and immunoglobulins — used to help clear them safely. Plus the histamine warning nobody tells you about before starting a spike detox. If you've been told you're "fine" but you've never felt right since 2020, this one's for you. *** CONNECT: 🏆 Work With Us: Revive & Thrive Program 🔗 Connect With Liz: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🔗 Connect With Becca: Instagram | TikTok | YouTube 🇺🇸 Private Community: FitMom Society ▶️ Have Questions?

We'll explore the complexities of testing for copper levels and the implications of high copper, including its relationship with estrogen and the impact of dietary choices. Join me as we uncover the importance of understanding mineral balance for optimal health and well-being.
