Parasites & Your Gut: Myths, Symptoms, and What to Do Before a Cleanse

Parasites have become trendy online — but should you really be doing a “parasite cleanse”?

In this episode of the Girls Fuel Podcast, we’re cutting through the noise to explain what parasites actually are, how you really get them (hint: it’s not just from traveling), and the signs they might be behind your bloating, constipation or diarrhea, nutrient deficiencies, allergies, skin flares, anxiety, or even sleep issues.

We’ll walk you through:

1. ✅ The biggest myths about parasites (and why random cleanses can backfire)

2. ✅ How parasites impact your gut lining, immune system & nutrient absorption

3. ✅ Why most stool tests miss them — and which testing is actually reliable

4. ✅ The safe, step-by-step approach we use with clients: drainage, targeted antimicrobials, biofilm support & rebuilding the gut

Before you spend money on TikTok cleanses or nuke your good bacteria, listen to this first.
