IBS isn't a life sentence. If you're struggling with chronic bloating, burping after meals, constipation & diarrhea, food sensitivities and heartburn, it's likely not "IBS". In fact, IBS isn't a true diagnosis - it's what they tell you when they don't know what's wrong. The most common cause of IBS is SIBO - SIBO is bacterial overgrowth and it's treatable! Tune in to find out how I support my clients with healing SIBO and getting full remission from IBS symptoms! Low motivation? Feeling down or anxious? It could be your gut!

Everybody poops...or maybe sometimes you don't. If you're going less than once per day, we need to figure out why because not only is it a pain in the butt, but it can contribute to other illnesses too. Laxatives aren't the answer - there's always a root cause. Often it's a combination of gut bacteria imbalances, stress, food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, structural issues, ageing and medications. In this episode I dive into: - root causes of constipation - why fibre is important, but may not help - should you try probiotics? - what to do when you can't go Ultimately, constipation can have many causes, and laxatives are a band-aid solution. In order to optimize your gut, and overall health you have to find and heal the root cause.

Most people come to me when the Western medical system has failed them in some way. Yet they still expect the same approach and results as western medicine: give me a supplement and feel better right away. Let's shift away from the Western model of "a pill will fix me" to a holistic view of pills being helpful, as one tool in your tool kit. Let's view the body as an interconnected whole and actually look at healing imbalances rather than offering band-aid solutions. This episode will help you understand that root cause, functional medicine healing takes time and effort because we are treating the whole person: all systems interconnected we are treating ROOT cause: often one that has been years in the making that it's not just supplementing: dietary and lifestyle changes - foundational basics are more important! It takes time to build healthy habits that allow you to heal. Join us in my free Facebook group all about gut health & more! https://www.facebook.com/groups/fixyourgutcollective/
