Each month we pose questions from the Sun Coast Community to our resident health and beauty expert, Dr. Mark Rosenberg.
In this September edition of 'Ask Me Anything', Dr. Rosenberg reveals the surprising cause of bloating and how to fix it...
Why so many people are feeling drained and lousy right now, and how to avoid falling victim too...
And four powerful anti-aging ingredients that can give you medspa-like results at home.
Question 1: "Why do I feel so bloated after meals? Is it due to sugar or swallowing too much air?"
There are many reasons why your stomach can blow up like a balloon after meals.
It’s true that swallowing air when eating, carbonated drinks, and eating too much sugar are all factors.
But there’s another cause that affects as many as 33 million Americans.
This cause is an imbalance in your gut bacteria.
See, your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad.
And these bacteria play a key role in breaking up food so it can be digested and turned into nutrients.
But when you eat a diet high in processed foods… packed with sugars, carbs, and artificial ingredients… it causes the number of unhealthy, bad bacteria to EXPLODE.
This imbalance - where you have more bad than good bacteria - then means you can’t digest food properly… leading to gas, cramps, bloating, and other digestive issues.
The solution?
Restore your gut back to a perfect balance by eating more fermented foods rich in beneficial probiotics. This includes sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir.
However, there’s one fermented food I recommend most of all.
It originates in Korea. And it’s so effective at improving digestion and reducing bloating, that it helped one of my patients lose 34 lbs in a matter of weeks.

Question 2: "Why are so many people feeling rundown, brain foggy and lousy at the moment?"
If you’ve noticed lots of friends and relatives seem to be “under the weather” at the moment, you’re not alone.
The reason is because, after a long summer spent outdoors, most people haven't been in malls, offices, and coffee shops as much.
This means they haven’t been exposed to as many airborne threats as usual… which has caused immune systems to decline.
This is why there's typically an uptick in people feeling exhausted, drained, and worn out when the weather starts to cool down.
The good news is, there are three steps you can take to restore your immune system (and I recommend you do them now before colder weather arrives):
- Restore your immune system's cytokines - These are proteins that act like your immune system’s first responders. They regulate your immune response and keep your body's defenses strong.
- Top up on the “sunshine vitamin” - Vitamin D is essential for a healthy immune system, but most people are deficient, especially as we spend more time indoors.
-
Get 7-8 hours sleep a night - Quality sleep is crucial for keeping your immune system strong and your mind sharp. So you need to relax and calm your brain at bedtime, so you can drift off into a deep sleep.
Now, I know that implementing these three steps is easier said than done.
So here’s how you can complete all three steps in less than one minute each day
Question 3: "My local medspa just increased its prices 20%! Is there a way I can get similar results without spending a fortune on “tweakments”?"
While medspa treatments can offer amazing results, they can also be pricey.
The good news is there are several powerful ingredients that can provide medspa-like results, but without the hefty price tag:
Argireline - Some people call this peptide “botox in a bottle”, because it targets your dynamic wrinkles. Those are the fine lines and creases you get around your eyes and mouth.
Matrixyl Synthe-6 - This peptide targets dynamic wrinkles (AKA: fine lines) which have become etched-in, static wrinkles. Lab tests showed 62% less wrinkle depth, and a 77% greater “tightening effect” in problem spots.
Hyaluronic Acid SLMW - This form of Hyaluronic Acid is one of the hottest ingredients around, and for good reason! Hyaluronic Acid SLMW helps your skin attract and hold onto moisture like nothing else, for a beautiful lifting, plumping effect.
Stay-C - If your face is dull, leathery or showing dark age spots, you’ll love this patented Vitamin C extract. Stay-C has been clinically shown to help improve your skin’s brightness, while reducing the appearance of redness, acne, and even sun exposure!
With these four ingredients, you can enjoy similar results to a medspa… while saving $800 or more on treatments you no longer need.
The even better news is there’s a way to apply all four ingredients at the same time at home.
