  • 298 - Symptoms vs. Root Causes: Are You Supporting or Suppressing Your Body? | Now + Then Podcast

    What if the symptom you desperately want to eliminate isn't the real problem, but your body's way of telling you that something needs attention?

    In this episode of the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart Precourt explores the concept of innate intelligence: the body's inborn ability to communicate, regulate, protect, and support healing.

    He examines why symptoms such as fever, coughing, sneezing, reflux, histamine reactions, sleep problems, pain, and inflammation may deserve deeper investigation instead of being viewed only as problems to suppress.

    Dr. Bart also explains the difference between symptom management and root-cause support, the foundational systems that may influence your health, and the questions you can ask when your body begins sending signals.

    WHO IS THIS EPISODE FOR?

    ●Anyone experiencing symptoms that keep returning ●People interested in root-cause and holistic health ●Anyone struggling with sleep, reflux, pain, inflammation, or histamine issues ●People who want to understand their bodies more deeply ●Anyone curious about the difference between managing symptoms and supporting healing

    Is your avocado oil even real? A new UC Davis study tested 54 avocado oil products and most failed authenticity testing. This week on the Now + Then Podcast, Dr. Bart and Callie break down which products missed the mark, why cheaper seed oils end up in your "healthy" swaps, and how to protect yourself at the grocery store.
