Today I’m excited to have board-certified internist and complex chronic disease expert, Dr. Tania Dempsey back on the podcast to discuss parasites. Hidden parasites are more common than you think and may even be related to conditions such as SIBO, IBS, Histamine intolerance and poor immune system health. We’ll cover the types of parasites, best testing options, a treatment protocol and how to prevent parasites. You don’t want to miss this!
