Dr. Hotze's Wellness Revolution

Is the recent concern over Cyclospora infections something most people should worry about? In this episode, Dr. Hotze discusses the parasite Cyclospora, explaining what it is, how it is transmitted, and why he believes the public response has been disproportionate to the number of reported cases. He reviews where the organism is commonly found, how infections occur through contaminated food or water, and the typical symptoms associated with the illness, including diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Based on the information presented, Dr. Hotze emphasizes that most cases are treatable and encourages listeners to keep the reported numbers in perspective. He also discusses basic food safety practices, such as thoroughly washing fresh produce before eating it.

The episode concludes with practical recommendations for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including continuing to eat fresh vegetables while properly washing produce, staying informed about health issues, and focusing on long-term wellness strategies.

Can improving your gut health transform your overall health? In this episode, Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, is joined by Physician Assistant Gabrielle Foppe to introduce the center's new 90-Day Gut Repair Therapy Program. They explain why optimal health begins in the digestive system and discuss how poor gut health can contribute to far more than digestive discomfort. Rather than simply masking symptoms, they emphasize identifying and addressing the underlying causes through a structured, natural approach.

Elaina and Gabrielle outline the three-step approach to gut repair: first eliminating unwanted yeast and harmful microbes, then restoring healthy gut bacteria, and finally supporting long-term healing through nutrition and lifestyle changes. They also discuss why simply taking an over-the-counter probiotic is often not enough to fully restore gut health.

The 90-day telehealth program includes comprehensive lab work, medical oversight, prescription medications when appropriate, nutritional guidance, pharmacist consultations, supplements, and a structured eating program designed to support gut healing. View gut health as the foundation for long-term wellness to restore digestive health and improve your overall quality of life.

Could parasites be contributing to chronic fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, or unexplained health symptoms? In this episode, Bryana Burken, pharmacist and physician liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss common misconceptions about parasites, how exposure can happen in everyday life, and why these infections may be more common than many people realize.

Bryana and Elaina explain how parasites can be acquired through pets, food, travel, standing water, and environmental exposure, not just poor sanitation. They discuss the wide range of symptoms parasites may cause, and explore why parasite testing can be challenging, why false negatives are common, and how providers often rely on a combination of clinical symptoms, medical history, and treatment response when evaluating possible parasitic infections.

Bryana also explains the role of compounded medications, why customized formulations may be appropriate for some patients, and why working with an experienced healthcare provider is essential when addressing parasites and other chronic health concerns.

Why is estrogen about so much more than reproductive health? In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, is joined by Elaina Mango, Vice President of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, to discuss estrogen’s vital role in overall wellness, healthy aging, fertility, brain function, skin health, and longevity. Together, they explain why hormonal balance is essential throughout every stage of a woman’s life, from puberty and childbearing years to perimenopause and menopause.
 
The conversation explores the difference between estrogen dominance and estrogen deficiency, common symptoms, and how environmental toxins and modern lifestyle factors can disrupt healthy hormone balance. Bryana and Elaina also discuss the importance of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, why it differs from synthetic hormones, and why treating symptoms without addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance often leaves women searching for answers.
 
Most importantly, they encourage women to advocate for themselves, seek providers who listen to their symptoms, and understand that feeling unwell should never be accepted as a normal part of aging.
