Episode 103 – COLOGUARD vs COLONOSCOPY by the numbers
You may have seen a commercial or two for a commercial product where a walking and talking white box depicts the ease and comfort of checking for colorectal cancer at home. The insinuation is that anyone can send in a sample of their “#2” and find out if they have anything to worry about regarding cancer in the lower gastrointestinal tract. But at what cost is this substitute for the gold standard of colonoscopy screening actually to the patient? What are the accuracy comparisons? What to make of a positive or negative result?
Episode 68 – Atrantil-Pro Reveal
Atrantil-PRO is over 2.5 years in the making. This show is a massive reveal for our company (KBS, the parent of Atrantil) to explain why you should be excited to learn what Atrantil-PRO is. Several previous episodes have addressed polyphenols, probiotics, the gut-brain axis, systemic inflammation, and so much more. Now Arantil-PRO is possibly a solution that you can learn more about and decide if it is right for you. Join Ken & Eric on the Gut Check Project.

Episode 102.5 – Fluoride in your Water & RAW Talk
Several municipalities around the US add fluoride to the drinking water supply… but why?
The Fluoride Action Network (a fluoride education advocacy group) won a suit against the US Government which forced the release of a document that reveals “There is NO safe level of fluoride in water”. Nonetheless, this prompted the GCP to read up a bit, and as you will see, we are going to the source for answers… BUT with your help!
GCP RAW is exactly how we will do that. Ken and Eric stop down to explain a little bit about RAW, Rumble, and what the show has in store for you!
Episode 102 – Endometriosis Dr. Taylor Reyes
Endometriosis affects around 10% of almost always females (sometimes males also!) between the ages of 15 and 44. It most often occurs on or around reproductive organs in the pelvis or abdomen.
Endometrial tissue growing in these areas does not shed during a menstrual cycle like healthy endometrial tissue inside the uterus does. The buildup of abnormal tissue outside the uterus can lead to inflammation, scarring, and painful cysts. It can also lead to the buildup of fibrous tissues between reproductive organs that causes them to “stick” together.
Dr. Taylor Reyes rejoins Ken & Eric on the GCP to discuss endometriosis and what can be done about it.
Episode 98 – Behind the lens – Paul Rogers
Inspiring, creative, encouraging… there are so many words to describe Paul Rogers and his method of bringing the best out of the people around him.
Paul is the founder and owner of NEXM Creative based in Fort Worth, TX, and he is the producer and director of the Gut Check Project.
Ken & Eric took time to share the air time with the person that had the long-term vision on how to bring health & medical topics in a way that could easily reach the patients that Ken & Eric serve… and now it appears that the word is spreading and the audience has grown (just like Paul said!).
What makes Paul tick? Was he just “lucky” and given a studio and great audio equipment…NO! His journey is inspiring, and he wants to share it with you!
Episode 97 – Innovative Tele-Dietetics, Nourish Founder Adrien Paczosa, Registered Dietitian
Easily accessible, on your schedule, specialty oriented, affordable… That’s EXACTLY what it’s like to connect with dietitians at Nourish! Founder Adrien Paczosa, RD joined Ken & Eric on the GCP to discuss the integrated service offered by Nourish. For years it has been issues with hurdles around financial constraints, mismatched hours and availability, or even a lack of specific disease expertise when trying to find the right fit.
Nourish has changed the game, and even TAKE INSURANCE, they offer tele counseling, all while having RDs representing all of the health specialties that can affect potential patients.
Episode 96 – Which Food Oils are Safe and Why are some downright BAD?
There’s no getting around it. We NEED fats in our diet, and oils in many of our foods provide them. We were meant to eat the GOOD oils (Avocado, olive, coconut, Peanut(unrefined), flax, butter, ghee, tallow, lard, cocoa, Mac nut, almond, walnut, sesame, fish oil).
To allow your body to stop fighting unnecessary inflammation, avoid excessive PUFAs! They are loaded in harmful oils (soy, corn, vegetable, sunflower, safflower, CANOLA aka Rapeseed, grape seed, cottonseed, rice bran, palm). BUT choosing the wrong oils to cook with or selecting packaged foods with certain oils in them could keep you overweight and tired and give you metabolic complications such as scubas, migraines, body aches, and even sniffles or asthma.
YES! Those symptoms are often related to an inflamed metabolic state that cannot manage oxidative stress.
