Hi, everyone.

Today I spoke with nurse, practitioner, Stephanie Grutz, and we discussed a few things.

The importance of the lymphatic system and what one can do to make sure they

have adequate lymphatic drainage. And we also discuss her personal experience with FMT,

fecal microbital transplant therapy for her Crohn's. So a few interesting things there,

but also something that's a little bit more hidden

in this episode is, and it's kind of reflective of one of the points I repeatedly try to make

on the podcast, which is it's easy to kind of gloss over the foundationals.

So she did an FMT, she found some impact from it, but it was interesting that

when recalling the various therapeutics she's done, she felt that the elemental diet was probably

the most effective of all the therapies that she had tried. And that wouldn't have popped up

unless I had asked the question about it. So it's just, I think

it's interesting sometimes when something is, is so well acknowledged that we can kind of gloss over it.

And I don't think that was her intention. It's just, you know, we're going to be talking about

a few certain things like lymphatics and FMT. And someone could have easily missed the fact that elemental diet was a big mover for her.
