Hi, guys. I wanted to do a quick video on rosacea. Someone asked a question,

0:04.6

what do you do for rosacea? Okay, so I want to talk about, first of all,

0:08.4

what are the big mistakes that people make and then what to do? There's been a huge connection

0:13.3

between rosacea, which is your skin, your cheeks become really red and it looks like there's

0:19.4

broken blood vessels. So you have this, it almost looks like a rash on your cheeks. Okay,

0:25.9

there's a huge connection to something called SIBO. Okay, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

0:34.2

Okay, this is a situation where you have bacteria that normally should be in the large colon

0:40.4

is now growing into the small intestine. Okay, and it's growing where it should not be. You

digestive problems, because the microbes don't have anything to eat. And if you have an overgrowth

1:36.8

and you do all proteins, animal proteins, it can actually help balance some of the microbial gut

1:43.9

microbes. And we're trying to get rid of this microbial overgrowth. One of the most important
