Author: Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC March 16, 2026 Duration: 22:12

In this episode, we break down a major factor in treating SIBO and preventing recurrence: biofilm disruption. You'll learn how to identify the telltale signs of biofilms, the steps to our proven treatment protocol, and discover the dietary and supplement strategies that support lasting gut recovery. Our approach is backed by our recently published study, Biofilm Disruption Enhances Antimicrobial Therapy for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth. Read the full findings here:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41394228/

Trying to make sense of the latest health trends and research can feel overwhelming. Dr. Ruscio Radio, DC: Health, Nutrition and Functional Healthcare cuts through the noise with grounded, evidence-based conversations. Hosted by clinician and researcher Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC, this podcast explores the practical side of functional health, where complex science is translated into actionable steps you can use. Episodes often start with a curious question-why does one diet work for some but not others, or what does the latest study really mean for everyday health-and follow the evidence where it leads. You’ll hear deep dives into gut health, nutrition, and fitness, balanced with a critical eye that isn’t afraid to debunk popular fads when the data doesn’t support them. The tone is conversational yet precise, reflecting Dr. Ruscio’s dual role as a practicing clinician and a dedicated investigator. Each discussion is built to provide clarity, leaving you with a clearer understanding of how your body works and what might help it work better. It’s important to note that this podcast is for educational and informational purposes. While Dr. Ruscio shares his expertise as a doctor of chiropractic, the content does not constitute personal medical or professional advice. Instead, think of it as a reliable source for thoughtful analysis, helping you have more informed conversations about your own health journey.
