Key To Health

Spirituality, , 
What is the Key to Health? There are many answers promoted from many platforms that try to answer that important question. Dr. Sabine Hazan's findings show that the key to health is in the gut. Her findings are convincing.

Dr. Sabine Hazan is the world’s expert on curing disease by going to the gut and in the cutting-edge science in microbiome research. She "asked God to gain insight into the meaning of life" and that God revealed to her that the "innerverse" of the human microbiome held the answer. Her cutting-edge research has proven this to be true.

The Podcast with Dr. John Campbell is a summary of her work and is outstanding. Hazan is pronounced like resin. The link for the podcast is at the bottom of this blog article. Her successes are impressive:

Diseases/Conditions Dr. Hazan Has Had Success Treating

C. difficile Infection

  • Strongest evidence and most success.

  • Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection is notoriously difficult to treat with antibiotics.

  • Hazan has published cases where FMT resulted in full remission and prevention of relapse.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

  • Crohn’s Disease & Ulcerative Colitis.

  • Several patients in her practice achieved long-term remission after microbiome restoration.

  • She emphasizes FMT as a personalized therapy rather than “one-size-fits-all.”

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Metabolic & Neurological Conditions (Experimental/Early Success)

  • Hazan and others in the field have observed links between gut imbalance and conditions such as:

    • Autism spectrum disorder (some reported behavioral and GI improvements).

    • Parkinson’s disease (early-stage studies suggest potential benefit).

    • Metabolic syndrome/obesity (microbiome shifts associated with weight regulation).

COVID-19 (Microbiome Insights)

  • Her lab, ProgenaBiome, was the first to sequence SARS-CoV-2 in stool samples.

  • She suggested that gut health strongly influences COVID-19 severity.

  • While not a cure, her research emphasized probiotics, microbiome balance, and gut-immune connection as protective factors.

She is quoted in Pharmacy Times, and offers a thoughtful reflection rooted in mindfulness and the natural world: “Appreciate what we have (…) in this Garden of Eden. We are privileged to be alive. Every day that we are alive is a gift, and that’s why they call it the present.” She goes on to say: “Calm down your system… Zen, meditate, breathe… Appreciate the moment.”

Brain Cell and Gut Health

For me, it is particularly interesting because scientists over the years have discovered brain cells in the heart and the gut.  They have always been in the scriptures as the Lord references on many occasions about the “thoughts of the heart,” and His “bowels” are filled with “mercy” that He may “succor his people.” This remarkable connection between the brain cells in the mind, the heart, and the gut gives us our full range of emotions needed during our mortal journey, and for us to have joy in our path to godhood

Give Our Hearts to God

When we are motivated by the pure love of Christ, then we choose with our brain to give our hearts to God, and to let our “bowels” be full of charity toward all men. We let our “hearts be full, drawn out in prayer unto him continually for [our] welfare, also for the welfare of those who are around [us].

” We let ‘virtue garnish our thoughts unceasingly,” and our bowels are full of charity toward all men and to the household of faith, then the Holy Ghost will be our constant companion. In so doing, we move in the direction of the heavenly society called Zion. Then we can “quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” (1 Chronicles 29:18; 3 Nephi 17:6-7; Alma 7:12; D&C 121:26-43; Eph. 6:16; D&C 27:17-18).

Dr. Sabine Hazan, is a distinguished gastroenterologist and gut microbiome expert. I have learned a lot from this lady. She is an awesome contributor to health and has proven that our health begins in the gut.
