Why UTI Does Not Go Away in Some Elderly Patients | Expert Talk With Dr. Dana Churchill

Dr. Dana Churchill, a naturopathic doctor, nutritionist, and medical director of The Churchill Center, discusses how to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). While antibiotics are usually prescribed to treat this type of illness, these drugs kill not only harmful bacteria but also beneficial bacteria, which can lead to gut problems.

“Antibiotics kill everything. They’re not smart drugs,” said Dr. Churchill.

In addition, long-term use of antibiotics can lead to the formation of resistant bacteria that are difficult to fight. Dr. Churchill recommends avoiding the consumption of sugar, which promotes the growth of microorganisms.

“Sugar feeds everything. Every microbe, every fungus, every COVID, every cancer cell, everything loves sugar. They’re voracious sugar eaters,” said Dr. Churchill.

To maintain urinary tract health, he advises increasing intake of protein, fats, and vegetables.
