Parasites are an often-overlooked factor in chronic gut symptoms, food intolerance, histamine-type reactions, fatigue, and cases where patients feel stuck despite addressing SIBO, Candida, or other common gut imbalances. In this episode, Dr. Ruscio, Dr. Jake Vonfeldt, and Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi discuss common parasites like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Blastocystis, pinworms, and helminths, why standard testing can miss them, and how clinical history can help determine when parasites deserve closer consideration. They also share both natural and pharmaceutical parasite protocols, along with practical guidance on when each approach may be appropriate.
