Why isn't everyone allergic to the same things? Why doesn't everyone have the same sense of humour? Why does the same chemical compound cause different downstream physiological effects?
All these situations above are related to the concept of 'receptor dependence'. The same stimulus can cause different reactions in different 'receptors', be they transmembrane proteins in the stomach or 'triggers' for sensitive persons with differing levels of 'tolerance' for 'bad jokes'.
In naturopathic medicine, we often put greater emphasis on the FOOD while putting less skilful or comprehensive emphasis on the condition of the RECEIVER (cells, receptors, tissues -- the 'tolerance' of the person in terms of the digestive system or neuro-immune reactivity etc.).
This is partly because very few people (clinicians) can skilfully assess the abdominal structures and therefore, we don't have a well-known and reliable way to assess the MACRO structures of the abdomen, although we have some fairly well-known concepts (i.e. leaky gut) that inform us of the MICRO structures of the gut.
The impact of this disproportional 'blame' on the food rather than the system leads to an emphasis on restrictive and often unsustainable diet plans.
Sometimes the food is more of the problem (e.g. gluten in celiac disease); sometimes the system is more to blame (e.g. leaky gut or sphincter of Oddi dysfunction) ... but it is always the interaction of the two that is the problem.

Have you ever wondered why some people just keep getting recurring infections that they just can’t seem to get ahead of? Perhaps the recurring yeast, fungal or microbial issues aren’t the real problem. What if their existence was actually in some way protecting you from a deeper burden that isn’t being fully resolved so it keeps the microbes consistently at higher levels?
In this week’s episode Dr. Michelle, ND discusses what to look deeper for with recurring infections, to better direct your treatment focus in the right direction.

Microbes can kick you when you're down.
In a kind of coup-contrecoup phenomenon, post-viral syndromes often expose your weakest system or tissues or structures and may involve mitochondrial dysfunction, dysfunctional brain glymphatic drainage, hypometabolism, and toxin overload, amongst other predisposing physiological conditions.

The ideal medicine gives reproducible and reliable results, quickly and without side effects.
However, the origin or nature of some conditions is less 'tangible' or straightforward, with significant subjectivity in the patient's experience; such as situational grief, for example.
Today's solo episode briefly discusses the rationale for the application of a homoeopathic remedy to grief, loss, breakups, and disappointment.
