Eat Pray Faith with Tracey Stroup, ND, CNHP

Today, Dr. Ivy Pruss will help us understand the communication system between our skin microbiome and our overall health. This is more than just skin deep! And it far beyond less wrinkles or age spots. Skin microorganisms have important roles in educating the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Functioning as the exterior interface of the human body with the environment, the skin acts as a physical barrier to prevent the invasion of foreign pathogens while providing a home to billions of microorganisms communicating with our immune system.
Many are familiar with the terms probiotics, gut health and even microbiome...but do we truly know how impactful these microorganisms are in our over all immune health?
In the human body, the population of microorganisms vastly outnumbers human cells, with the ratio being approximately 10 microorganisms for every single human cell. It's no surprise that the microbiomes inhabiting our gut and skin profoundly impact our health.
Tune in today to find out how healthy your skin and immune system are and how to improve it!

In this deeply moving episode of the Eat Pray Faith podcast, Dr. Tracey sits down with the remarkable Dr. Jennifer Simmons—once a leading breast cancer surgeon, now a passionate voice in functional medicine and breast cancer prevention.

Dr. Simmons opens up about her powerful transformation from conventional oncology to a more holistic approach, a shift sparked by her own personal and family battles with breast cancer. With courage and compassion, she shares what she’s learned along the way—challenging the status quo of traditional breast cancer screenings and shining a light on the importance of getting to the root cause of disease.

Together, they explore groundbreaking tools like the Auria Tear test and QT imaging, and discuss how true healing begins with individualized care, lifestyle changes, and a whole-person approach to wellness.

This episode isn’t just about medicine—it’s about hope, empowerment, and the freedom that comes from taking your health into your own hands. It's a must-listen for every woman ready to walk boldly toward a healthier future.

All health begins in the gut! Many people have heard that statement. But what does it really mean?
Food sensitivities are on the rise...and food allergies! Why?
What is the difference between a sensitivity and an allergy? How can we as practitioners help people struggling with this issue without putting people into food prisons?
Personally, I use bloodwork and food sensitivity testing to help people lower inflammatory markers and regain health. I do think the overall abuse of food prisons in our industry is NOT healthy. So let's chat about that too! Today, let's talk about a healthier way to use this testing.
On this episode we discuss food sensitivity testing, the patented science behind it, who needs to be tested. Plus, how do we use this testing to first eliminate inflammatory foods for a period of time, lower systemic inflammation, heal and seal the integrity of the gut and help people rebuild their health in a walk of abundance rather than deprivation.
This was a good chat! Don't miss it!

Join us for an amazing webinar with Natasha Trenev! Natasha is the person who introduced probiotics to the USA and many other countries.

On this webinar we she will answer... Why is the term “All Disease Begins in the Gut” proven every day to be truer? Why basic knowledge of how our body fuels itself can save our lives? Why the abuse of our minds, soul, and bodies promoted by a modern stress, fear laden society is the cause of chronic and life-threatening disease? Why maintaining a healthy microbiota/microbiome is essential to allow the body to heal itself? Want to know how to improve the most important eco system in your body? Did you know that you are more microbial cells than Human cells? Are we a hybrid? Why choosing the right precision probiotic supplementation regimen is rocket science and one of the most important decision you can make?
