Coming up on today's show.

0:02.1

The upper fermenting gut is a major, major problem.

0:05.0

It goes almost unrecognized by the conventional doctors.

0:07.8

We have to get rid of the upper fermenting gut.

0:09.6

And yes, there's a two-pronged approach.

0:11.5

Yes, we starve them out with a low-carb ketogenic diet.

0:14.2

And secondly, we kill them.

0:15.6

And there are three fantastic tools which are available to everybody.

0:59.3

statin, cholesterol luring agent, is worth $1 trillion a year. And you can get a lot of propaganda

1:05.4

done with that sort of money. And there's barely a scrap of evidence that shows statins are effective.

1:10.4

In fact, I can show you some studies that tell the absolute opposite of that.

1:15.6

Sarah, I'd love for you to talk about the connection between eating too many carbohydrates
