Is the gut the key to understanding chronic health problems? Mounting evidence is demonstrating that there is a relationship that is too great to ignore. Antibiotics have been found to destroy not only dangerous bacteria,
but also some bacteria that are protective. Read about "Complimenting Antibiotics with Probiotics: Your Essential Guide", on page 18, so that you and your patients can live a healthier, fuller life.
The evidence is clear that as we age, and as our patients age, the human body’s ability to generate muscle mass is at a hormonal disadvantage. Jack Tips drops some of his tips for us on muscle gain as we age in the article, "Sarcopenia-Out of the Duff Zone and into the Buff Zone", beginning on page 40.
This issue, we also have a special interview with Dr. Nikolas Hedberg, explaining his approach using functional medicine to improve the health of his patients. Flip to page 46 now to learn more.
Always remember, that you can read this online, at digital.theamericanchiropractor.com, and even share things through social media.
Read this issue, like you read every issue, cover to cover.
