Natural Solutions for H. Pylori & Gut Infections with Julie Davey

Overview

In this episode, I sit down with Julie, a nurse practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience who left traditional medicine to build a virtual gut health consulting practice, and who discovered through her own GI map testing that she was harboring H. pylori, two parasites, significant dysbiosis, and a near non-existent immune system despite doing everything right on the surface. Julie brings a wonderfully practical and no-nonsense approach to gut healing that balances lab testing, natural protocols, lifestyle, and the deeply underrated role of stress.

You’ll Learn

• Why H. pylori is considered the most successful pathogen in human history, how it causes 80 to 90 percent of stomach and duodenal ulcers and raises gastric cancer risk sixfold, and why the 66 percent global infection estimate means most families should assume at least one member carries it
• Why acid reflux and heartburn are almost always a low stomach acid problem rather than high acid, why PPIs make the underlying issue worse, and how they block calcium absorption and can contribute to osteoporosis with long-term use
• The natural H. pylori treatment toolkit including mastic gum at three grams daily, berberine, olive leaf extract, saccharomyces boulardii, thyme and lemongrass essential oils, Matula tea, garlic, digestive bitters, and how combining the right ones at the right dosages is what produces results
• Why treating H. pylori with antibiotics destroys beneficial bacteria and often leads to reinfection, and why natural protocols take slightly longer but do not cause downstream harm
• What tongue scraping does to reduce oral bacteria and why it matters especially with H. pylori, along with the role of clove and cinnamon toothpaste, peroxide and tea tree oil toothbrush soaking, and dental hygiene as part of any gut healing protocol
• What acromantia mucinophila is, why low or absent levels on a GI map indicate leaky gut and inflammation, and how polyphenols, prebiotics, fiber-rich foods, and probiotics help restore it
• The most common candida symptoms including sugar cravings, bloating, skin breakouts, eczema, psoriasis, and recurring yeast infections, and why dietary sugar elimination and natural antimicrobial herbs are the foundation of treatment
• Why digestive enzymes are appropriate for almost everyone since we produce fewer as we age, and why HCL supplementation should generally wait until after H. pylori has been eradicated and the gut lining has healed
