    In this episode, Dr. Ruscio breaks down how to choose a high-quality probiotic, what GMP and third-party testing actually tell you, how long probiotics typically need to work, the most evidence-supported formula types and doses, and what to do if you're sensitive or don't respond.

    1025 - Why Antifungal Treatment Fails (And What to Do Instead)

    16/08/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. Ruscio and Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi break down why mold and fungal treatments often fail—and what may improve the odds of success. They discuss how to get clearer on the diagnosis, why herbal therapies may not be enough for some patients, the importance of reaching therapeutic antifungal levels, why underdosing can backfire, and how targeting the right tissues may help prevent relapse. They also share insights from their own experiences with chronic fungal illness and how those lessons are shaping their evolving treatment approach.
