Fix Your Gut, Boost Your Immune System: Dr. Ruscio on Chronic Lyme Recovery

Tap to play

The Gut Is the Foundation of Immune Health Dr. Ruscio emphasizes that 70% of immune cells reside in the small intestine. A leaky or inflamed gut overtaxes the immune system, reduces nutrient absorption, and drains the liver, all of which undermine recovery from Lyme and co-infections. Identify Your Gut Type to Personalize Treatment Bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) reacts to high-fiber foods, may benefit from lower-fiber options, and is linked to motility issues. Fungal overgrowth (Candida) reacts to sugar and refined carbs, often showing white tongue, rashes, or watery eyes, and thrives on low-carb, vegetable-heavy diets. Triple Therapy Probiotics & Advanced Strategies Help “Stuck” Patients Using Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces boulardii, and soil-based probiotics together can dramatically improve gut clearance. Additional tools include short elemental diets, low-histamine adjustments, and avoiding dietary over-restriction to reduce stress on the immune system.
