“Behavior is the hardest thing to change — but we’re here to make guidance reachable.” — Chip Paul

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

In S5E22, Chip explains:


  • Why H. Pylori affects up to 80% of people
  • The hidden symptoms that point to an infection

  • How common foods may be feeding it

  • Why your behaviors — stress, snacking, sleep — matter just as much as medicine

  • Simple steps to naturally push your body back into balance

Let’s break it down.


📌 What is H. Pylori — and Why Should You Care?

H. Pylori is a type of bacteria that sets up camp in your stomach. It’s so common that nearly 4 in 5 people worldwide are estimated to carry it — but most don’t know it’s there until they start dealing with:

  • Chronic burping or acid reflux

  • GERD and ulcers

  • Bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea

  • Brain fog or fatigue

  • Histamine intolerance or worsening eczema

  • Low B12 levels that don’t improve with supplements


S5E12 Is hpylori the superbug sabotaging your gut?

How does it survive? H. Pylori breaks down urea in your stomach, turning it into ammonia. This neutralizes your natural stomach acid, letting the bug hide out in a “bubble” where it can thrive, disrupt digestion, and even open the door for more serious conditions like stomach or pancreatic cancer .

🥗 Your Diet: Feeding or Fighting Hidden Infections

Most people fighting bloating, reflux, or ulcers don’t realize that their daily meals could be adding fuel to the fire.

🚫 What Feeds It


Certain foods make it easy for pathogens like H. Pylori to multiply:

  • Sugar & refined carbs : Sodas, pastries, white rice, dried fruits

  • Fermented foods : Yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut — these can actually worsen symptoms if your gut terrain is out of balance

  • Alcohol : Weakens the stomach’s mucosal defense

  • Fermentable fibers (FODMAPs) : Onions, garlic (raw), asparagus, leeks — these feed overgrowths like SIBO alongside H. Pylori

What Starves It


Your best defense? Switch your meals to protein-dominant , moderate-fat, lower-carb plates. Intermittent fasting also limits the constant feeding window for microbes.

According to our Top 3 Pathogen Food Instructions , your best protein picks are:

  1. Cod, halibut, or white fish: Gentle, low allergen, anti-inflammatory.

  2. Pastured lamb: Packed with zinc and iron, critical for immunity.

  3. Skinless turkey: Lean, mild, and supports bile production.

  4. Grass-fed beef: Good for B12 and iron (but watch portions if you have gut imbalance).

  5. Soft-boiled eggs: Lecithin supports bile flow, yolks help heal mucosal lining.

your diet: feeding or fighting hidden infections

Keep veggies low-FODMAP — think zucchini, carrots, bok choy, spinach (cooked). Flavor with pathogen-fighting herbs: ginger, turmeric, oregano, rosemary, and sage.

🕰️ Why Behavior Matters More Than You Think

It’s not just about the food — your daily behaviors either starve or strengthen harmful bugs.


Frequent snacking , stress, poor sleep, and high sugar habits give infections more fuel. On the flip side, simple behavior tweaks help your body stay inhospitable to invaders:


  • Intermittent fasting: Shortens feeding windows, starves bacteria.

  • Consistent sleep: Supports immune balance and gut repair.

  • Intentional stress management: Lowers inflammation, reduces gut permeability.

“Changing habits is the hard part — that’s why we’re here to guide you with realistic steps that stick.”

Readable Transcript: Chip Talks Health S5E22 — How Diet & Behavior Shape Infection

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Chip Talks Health .

If you’re sick — or dealing with lingering health issues that just won’t go away — today’s conversation is for you. We’re going to cover some things the mainstream medical system often overlooks, especially when it comes to hidden infections .

If you’ve ever wondered how your diet might be making you sick — or why your behavior matters more than you think — we’re going to dig deep into all of that today. The connection between food, behavior, and infection is more profound than most of us realize.

Today, I’m going to walk you through the three major infections we see in our clinic almost every day. These aren’t always picked up by standard medical diagnostics. Instead, we use an informational tool called bioresonance to scan for signs of hidden infections.

Now, let me be clear — bioresonance isn’t a medical device and I’m not a doctor. It’s not diagnostic. But in my experience, it’s a powerful way to get quick insights. Instead of waiting weeks for lab results or mailing in samples, we can scan you in ten minutes and get an indication of what might be disrupting your health.

When we find an infection, we help the body clear it naturally. Over and over, we see that when you clear infections, symptoms improve — sometimes dramatically.

The biggest hidden threat we see every day? Helminths — also known as parasitic worms. These include hookworms, roundworms, pinworms, tapeworms, flukes — they’re more common than you think. Around 90–95% of people have some kind of helminth infection, and these worms are masters at messing with your immune system.

Helminths can tip your immunity in the wrong direction, pushing you toward allergies and inflammation. They rob you of nutrients like iron, B12, and amino acids. They damage the gut lining, cause leaky gut, and set the stage for autoimmune conditions, IBS, Crohn’s, and more. They can even raise your cancer risk over time.

But that’s not all — they also mess with your brain and nervous system. In severe cases, they’re linked with neurological issues, seizures, or unexplained fatigue and brain fog.


One level deeper: we also see Lactobacillus acidophilus overgrowth . Now, Lactobacillus sounds healthy — it’s in most probiotic bottles on the shelf. But too much can tip your gut out of balance, causing excess lactic acid, bloating, gas, and promoting other bad bugs like H. Pylori .

Speaking of H. Pylori — this is the most dangerous bug we see. About 80% of people carry it. It burrows into your stomach lining, hides under a protective ammonia bubble, and can cause acid reflux, GERD, ulcers, and even stomach and pancreatic cancer if left unchecked.

What most people don’t realize is that your daily choices feed or fight these infections . High-carb diets, snacking all day, poor sleep, chronic stress — they create the perfect environment for these bugs to thrive.

But here’s the good news: you can flip the script.


By focusing on higher protein , moderate healthy fats (yes, even saturated fats in balance), intermittent fasting, and smart herbal support, you can make your body far less welcoming to hidden infections.

We help people do this every day — combining bioresonance scans at Neighborly Wellness with TrueMedX protocols like Gut Restore and Deworm . When you get your terrain right, your body does the rest.


If this resonates with you — if you’re tired of digestive issues, brain fog, or never getting real answers — don’t just guess. Let’s find out what’s really going on.

Listen to the full episode , watch on YouTube, check the timestamps to jump to the parts that matter most, and if you’re ready, book a scan with us. I’m here to help you connect the dots.

Stay tuned, take care of your terrain — and I’ll see you in the next episode.

FAQ — How Diet & Behavior Shape Infection

👉 What is H. Pylori?

H. Pylori is a common stomach bacterium that can cause ulcers, reflux, gas, and even contribute to digestive cancers if left unchecked. About 80% of people carry it, often without knowing.

👉 How do I know if I have H. Pylori?

Common signs include burping, acid reflux, bloating, nutrient deficiencies like low B12, and chronic digestive upset. Standard stool or breath tests may detect it — but bioresonance scans at Neighborly Wellness can help identify hidden infections before they get severe.

👉 What foods should I avoid if I suspect H. Pylori?

Sugars, refined carbs, alcohol, fermented foods (yogurt, kombucha, kefir) and fermentable fibers like raw onion or garlic can feed H. Pylori and other gut bugs.

👉 What foods help fight gut infections?

Prioritize easy-to-digest proteins like cod, lamb, turkey, grass-fed beef, and soft-boiled eggs. Pair with cooked low-FODMAP veggies (zucchini, carrots, bok choy) and healing herbs like ginger, oregano, and turmeric.

👉 How does behavior affect gut health?

Snacking all day, stress, poor sleep, and excess sugar create a gut environment that feeds pathogens. Intermittent fasting, better sleep, and mindful eating habits help starve them out.

👉 How does Bioresonance work?

Neighborly Wellness Bioresonance scans your body’s frequencies to detect hidden imbalances like low-grade infections or parasites. It’s non-invasive and helps create a targeted plan to restore your gut terrain naturally.
