Podcasts about Bloating

Creatine has officially entered its main character era.For years, creatine was marketed almost exclusively to bodybuilders, athletes, and gym bros. But suddenly it's showing up everywhere, from menopause experts and neurologists to longevity researchers and wellness influencers.So what's changed?In this episode, we break down what creatine actually is, what it does inside the body, and whether it deserves all the attention it's getting. We discuss muscle health, menopause, brain function, aging, independence, and the biggest myths that continue to scare people away from one of the most researched supplements available.If you've ever wondered whether creatine is right for you, this episode will help you separate the science from the marketing.In This Episode:✔ What creatine actually does✔ Why women are finally part of the conversation✔ Muscle health and longevity✔ Menopause, estrogen decline, and recovery✔ Creatine and cognitive health✔ Water retention and bloating myths✔ Kidney health misconceptions✔ How much creatine you really need✔ What type of creatine to buy(00:00:52) Welcome to the Podcast(00:06:04) Supplements should supplement, not replace, nutrition(00:07:42) Why we are talking about creatine(00:09:30) Who is creatine for?(00:16:20) Creatine is a misunderstood supplement(00:20:56) Women's longevity & independence(00:26:55) The Menopausal journey, estrogen & muscle loss(00:34:54) Creatine and brain health(00:40:55) Bloating, water retention & scale myths(00:47:54) Does creatine damage your kidneys?(00:51:18) How much creatine should you take?(00:53:41) Choosing the right creatine supplementWant to leave the TTSL Podcast a voicemail?

How do you help someone whose chronic bloating, abdominal distension, digestive issues, hormone imbalance, and fatigue keep returning, even after working with multiple practitioners? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with FDN Practitioner Becca Chilczenkowski, co-owner of FitMom Functional Health, to break down one of her most complex Functional Diagnostic Nutrition case studies. Together, they explore how a woman struggling with severe bloating, recurring H. pylori, parasites, reflux, constipation, dermatitis, fibroids, weight gain, exhaustion, and hormone challenges finally experienced lasting Health Transformation through a layered, whole-body approach. Rather than chasing symptoms or relying on aggressive protocols, Becca explains why supporting Functional Health begins with restoring digestive capacity, improving stomach acid, bile flow, nutrient absorption, and immune resilience before introducing targeted Healing Protocols. She shares how Functional Lab Testing, blood work, and GI-MAP testing helped uncover hidden stressors driving chronic inflammation and why rebuilding the body's foundations produced long-term results. The conversation also explores Gut Health, Hormone Health, Functional Medicine, Root Cause Healing, digestive enzymes, HCl, ox bile, immune support, fasting strategies, metabolic flexibility, and the importance of nervous system regulation. Michele and Becca discuss why many women dealing with Chronic Illness, Burnout, bloating, and hormone issues often need less stress, not more exercise, and why personalized care consistently outperforms one-size-fits-all protocols. They also discuss collaborating with medical teams for hormone therapy and peptides while staying within the FDN scope of practice, highlighting how Health Coaching, Practitioner Education, and teamwork create better client outcomes. Whether you're a Functional Health Practitioner, Health Coach, FDN Practitioner, or someone searching for answers to chronic digestive and hormone challenges, this episode delivers practical insights into Root Cause Medicine, Functional Nutrition, and sustainable healing that lasts REGISTER NOW FOR THE BUSINESS BUILDER CHALLENGE⤵️ http://fdntraining.com/bbc

Bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, food sensitivities, autoimmune symptoms—most people treat these as separate problems. But often, they can all trace back to the same place: the gut. And the surprising part is that you don't need digestive symptoms to have gut dysfunction. Because your gut isn't just responsible for digestion—it's deeply connected to your immune system, hormones, metabolism, brain health, and inflammation throughout the body. In today's episode, I dive into: Why gut dysfunction can show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, hormone imbalances, anxiety, and autoimmune symptoms—not just digestive problems The biggest modern-day gut disruptors The Functional Medicine 5R Framework for healing the gut The simple daily habits that help build a healthier microbiome, reduce inflammation, strengthen digestion, and support long-term resilience Healing your gut isn't about perfection, restrictive diets, or endless supplements. It's about creating the conditions your body needs to repair itself. When you support your gut, you're often supporting your immune system, your brain, your hormones, your energy, and your overall health at the same time.

Bloating. Brain fog. Stubborn weight that won't budge. What if it's not failing hormones—it's your gut asking for help? As estrogen declines, the gut microbiome becomes midlife's new control center, driving everything from immunity and mood to metabolism and menopause weight gain. Nurse practitioner, TEDx speaker, and Everyday Wellness host Cynthia Thurlow joins us to unpack her new bestseller, The Menopause Gut. You'll learn what "leaky gut" really means, how the estrobolome affects hormone balance, the critical gut-bone health axis, and which gut health tests matter in perimenopause and menopause.

Most of us assume that if we look healthy on the outside, our heart is fine on the inside, but today, preventive cardiology dietitian Michelle Routhenstein explains why that's exactly the assumption that gets women into trouble, especially through perimenopause and beyond. We get into the two numbers your doctor probably isn't checking, ApoB and Lp(a), the first five diet changes Michelle makes with clients to bring down high cholesterol numbers, why stretching may be doing as much for your arteries as it does for your joints, and why blood pressure, not HRV, deserves far more of your attention as you move through this life stage. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ●      Why heart disease can silently progress in women who look and feel healthy ●      What ApoB and Lp(a) actually measure, and why they matter more than LDL and HDL alone ●      The first five diet changes to lower high ApoB or non HDL cholesterol ●      Why saturated fat, fiber, and gut health all influence your cholesterol numbers ●      Why blood pressure, not HRV, deserves more of your attention in perimenopause ●      How menopause hormone therapy really affects your cardiovascular risk ●      The minerals your heart needs to keep beating and pumping properly TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Heart Disease Risk in Women: ApoB, Lp(a), and the Tests Your Doctor Isn't Running 10:18 The Hidden Inflammation Driving Your Heart Disease Risk (And How to Test for It) 19:29 The Truth About Saturated Fat and Cholesterol After 40 22:19 The First Five Diet Changes to Lower High ApoB or Non HDL Cholesterol 29:24 Bloating, Gut Health and Thyroid: The Hidden Heart Disease Risks in Perimenopause 39:41 Why Stretching Might Be Protecting Your Arteries, Not Just Your Joints 51:48 Does Menopause Hormone Therapy Actually Protect Your Heart?

I wore the Leela Quantum necklace for months before recording this episode because I wanted to experience it day to day before sharing it with you. I took it to California and had a really interesting experience with my daughter that I'll tell you about in this interview with Todd Shipman, a wellness entrepreneur who came into this space as a skeptic and stayed because of what he found. We explore what "quantum energy" actually means, what EMFs from your phone, car, and AirPods may be doing to your body, and how to stay both open-minded and discerning. I ask the questions you'd want answered.What you'll learn:Whether "quantum energy" is woo-woo or actually rooted in real physics (and what the 2022 Nobel Prize did and didn't prove)Why some people wonder whether everyday EMF from phones, cars, and AirPods affects how they feel, and what the open questions areWhat Todd says his company's own testing looks at, like HRV.How sleep and brain fog in perimenopause relate to the nervous system, as general educationThe honest questions to ask before you spend money on any "energy" wellness productChapters:0:00 Is Quantum Energy Woo Woo?

Dietitians Aidan Muir and Torwen Eerkens discuss common causes of bloating. While bloating can be a common symptom in many gastrointestinal disorders, once medical disorders such as coeliac disease or IBD have been ruled out, these factors are worth exploring.

SHOW NOTESThis episode is for anyone dealing with constipation, bloating, reflux, abdominal pain or IBS.And really, anyone who wants to protect their gut, reduce stress and feel better overall.When we think about gut health, we usually start with food… what to eat, what to cut out, which diet or supplement to try next.And while nutrition is foundational, there's another side we don't talk about enough: the constant conversation between your brain and your gut

What if the anxiety, brain fog, cravings, and inflammation you're trying to fix didn't start in your brain, hormones, or immune system — but in the trillions of bacteria living inside your gut? In this episode, Dr. Josh Axe reveals the hidden chain reaction that can begin with low fiber, antibiotics, stress, and ultra-processed food — and may end in leaky gut, poor nutrient absorption, mood issues, obesity, autoimmune disease, and chronic inflammation.

You've been told bloating, gas, and reflux are normal… But what if they're not? In this episode, we break down what your body is actually trying to tell you—and why the real issue might not be what you think. From low stomach acid to stress and hidden gut imbalances, this is the conversation that could completely change how you approach your digestion.   Related Episodes: S4E9: Before You Take It: The Hidden Effects of Acid-Reducing Meds S4E19: The Hidden Cycle Between Your Gut and Nervous System  

Now when most people think about gut health, they think about symptoms like: Bloating. Gas. Constipation. Heartburn. Maybe indigestion after meals.But your gut is connected to and influences every major system in the body.Your immune system. Your metabolism. Your hormones. Your brain. Your mood. Your skin. Your energy.Even how you fast or slowly you age.In many ways, the gut acts like the foundation of health. Happy gut Happy life

If you've been diagnosed with IBS, or you have ongoing belly issues that testing keeps coming back "clear" on, this episode is for you. IBS is often given as a label once the serious causes are ruled out, but a label doesn't tell you what to do next. Your bowel isn't simply "irritable." Something is irritating it, and identifying that something is where real progress starts. I'm Dr. E, the NP with the PhD. In this episode I break down what IBS actually is, why it matters well beyond your stomach, and a practical, step-by-step way to start calming and repairing your gut. I cover the medical rule-out you shouldn't skip, how to use a food diary and elimination diet to pinpoint your triggers, why bloating and gas trace back to your microbiome, what SIBO is and how it's tested, how antibiotics and acid-blocking drugs can quietly set off IBS symptoms, and the correct order to eliminate, repair, reinoculate, and reintroduce foods so that probiotics actually help rather than make things worse. If you've already cut the obvious foods, tried the gut-friendly supplements, and you're still uncomfortable, the problem usually isn't you. Let's dig in. Want more practical health tips?

What if your chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, fatigue, IBS, or other persistent symptoms aren't permanent at all? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with Dr. Howard Schubiner, physician, researcher, and leading expert in neuroplastic symptoms, to explore a groundbreaking approach that is helping people reverse chronic pain and other conditions long considered lifelong and irreversible. Dr. Schubiner explains how the brain creates pain as a protective danger signal, why emotional injuries can activate the same neural pathways as physical injuries, and how unresolved trauma, chronic stress, adverse childhood experiences, and self-silencing can contribute to chronic symptoms years or even decades later. Together, they discuss the growing body of research around neuroplastic pain, the connection between emotions and physical symptoms, and why many people continue suffering despite normal scans, medications, and conventional treatments. Dr. Mariza also shares her own experience with chronic migraines, leading to a powerful live demonstration of how pain reprocessing techniques can begin shifting the brain's expectations and neural patterns in real time. This conversation offers hope for anyone who has been told they simply need to manage their symptoms for the rest of their life. HOWARD SCHUBINER Dr. Howard Schubiner is a physician, researcher, educator, and one of the leading voices in the field of neuroplastic symptoms. He is the author of Unlearn Your Pain and has spent decades helping patients recover from chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, IBS, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and other conditions through evidence-based approaches rooted in neuroscience, emotional processing, and neuroplasticity. IN THIS EPISODE What neuroplastic symptoms are and why they are often misunderstood How childhood experiences, trauma, and chronic stress can contribute to chronic pain Why migraines, IBS, fibromyalgia, anxiety, and fatigue may share similar brain-based mechanisms The powerful connection between emotions and physical symptoms How pain reprocessing therapy helps retrain the brain's danger signals Why self-silencing and people-pleasing often show up in women with chronic symptoms The role of emotional awareness and expression in healing A live demonstration of changing neural pathways through visualization and safety signals QUOTES“Pain can be a message that our brain sends.” “Emotional injury causes the same parts of the brain to light up as physical injury.” “Chronic pain is not necessarily a life sentence.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code ENERGIZED and get 30% off on your first BATCH order http://hellobatch.com/ENERGIZED Get your copy of Dr. Howard Schubiner Newest Book now https://www.amazon.com/Unlearn-Your-Pain-Recovering-Depression/ Unlearn Your Pain Website The Association for the Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS) Howard Schubiner Instagram Howard Schubiner Facebook RELATED EPISODES  751: Bloating, Brain Fog & Hormone Chaos?

Whittling your diet down to five "safe" foods isn't healing your gut — it's masking a deeper imbalance that declining estrogen may be driving. Nutrition expert Cynthia Thurlow joins Angela Foster to unpack why so many women suddenly can't tolerate foods they once ate freely, and what's really happening behind the bloating, palpitations and brain fog. The conversation explores the link between estrogen loss and a leaky small intestine, the histamine-hormone "perfect storm" that can trigger hives and cramping, and why bloating during perimenopause is so often multifactorial. Cynthia also explains when bloating becomes a red flag worth investigating. You'll learn how to identify your personal food triggers without cutting entire food groups, why eating in a parasympathetic state matters, and which gut supports — from fibre and hydration to TUDCA — can help as progesterone and estrogen decline. If you've ever felt like your body suddenly turned against your favourite foods, this episode will help you understand why. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stop eliminating food groups as your default fix. Whittling your diet down to a handful of "safe" foods signals an underlying gut imbalance that needs support — not an ever-expanding exclusion list. Recognise food sensitivities as a likely leaky gut symptom. As estrogen declines it acts like failing "mortar" in the small intestinal lining, letting food particles leak into the bloodstream and provoke an immune response. Watch the histamine-estrogen "perfect storm." During high-estrogen days, loading up on high-histamine foods (leftovers, kombucha, fermented items) can trigger hives, congestion, cramping and diarrhoea — so keep histamine foods low or infrequent during those windows. Eat in a parasympathetic state. Sit at a table, remove distractions, and take four to five deep breaths before meals rather than eating standing, in the car, or on the move. Always get persistent bloating evaluated. Bloating from morning to night is different from bloating that appears after meals, and persistent symptoms should be checked because, in rare cases, they can signal something serious like ovarian cancer. QUOTES "The goal is to never get to a point where you're excluding entire classes of foods." "If we look at the small intestinal lining as like a brick and mortar system, the mortar is the estrogen." "I literally was talking to a podcast host and I broke out in hives head to toe because I was high estrogen, high histamine stress. And it was like the perfect storm." "It's not really that you need to cut out all these food groups. We just have a nuanced conversation. Don't go overboard with any one food." "I've just seen too many people blow off symptoms for a year or two that end up being bigger issues than they would have been had they been addressed up front."

What if the foods marketed as “healthy” are actually contributing to the very symptoms so many women are struggling with today? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with Julia Putzeys, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of the Trash Panda app, to expose the hidden reality of ultra-processed foods and how they impact energy, hormones, metabolism, mood, inflammation, and long-term health. Together, they unpack the confusing world of food marketing, ingredient labels, food additives, artificial flavors, seed oils, and the growing prevalence of ultra-processed foods in the modern food supply. Julia shares her own journey from believing she was eating healthy to discovering how many seemingly nutritious products were filled with ingredients that offered little nourishment and often contributed to poor health outcomes. They also discuss the powerful mindset shift from calorie counting and restriction toward nourishment, nutrient density, and real food. As mothers, both Dr. Mariza and Julia share practical strategies for helping children develop a healthier relationship with food while avoiding the traps of hyper-palatable, addictive processed products. If you've ever felt overwhelmed at the grocery store or questioned whether the foods in your pantry are actually supporting your health, this episode offers practical guidance and empowering tools to help you make more informed choices. JULIA PUTZEYS Julia Putzeys is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, founder of the Trash Panda app, and mother of three.

This week on the Organic Fitness Podcast, I'm flying solo and answering some of the best questions I've been getting from clients, event attendees and members of the community.We cover everything from:✅ The first 3 things I'd do to lose weight✅ Foods that can help support your metabolism✅ Why protein is so important✅ Walking vs weight training✅ Bloating after oats and gut health issues✅ IBS, probiotics and digestion✅ How to get back on track when you've fallen off courseOne thing I keep coming back to in this episode:Most people don't have a motivation problem.

“What if your bloating, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, stubborn weight gain, and hormone symptoms are actually starting in your gut?” In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith — dual board-certified endocrinologist, founder of Modern Endocrine, and author of Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones — to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, hormone balance, stress, metabolism, inflammation, and reproductive health. Together, they dive into how chronic stress, poor gut health, blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, and lifestyle overload silently impact everything from cortisol and insulin to estrogen, progesterone, thyroid function, and fertility. Dr. Cassie explains why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while still feeling exhausted, bloated, anxious, inflamed, and disconnected from their bodies — and why gut dysfunction is often the missing piece conventional medicine overlooks. They also explore the growing metabolic and hormonal crisis happening in younger women, the connection between PCOS, insulin resistance, gut dysfunction, and birth control, and why many women are struggling to restore healthy cycles and fertility later in life. This conversation is a powerful reminder that hormones do not work in isolation. Your gut, nervous system, metabolism, sleep, stress resilience, and hormones are all deeply interconnected. If you've been feeling like your body is trying to tell you something but nobody has connected the dots yet, this episode will help you understand where healing truly begins. DR. CASSIE SMITH Dr. Cassie Smith is a dual board-certified endocrinologist and the founder of Modern Endocrine. After becoming frustrated with the limitations of conventional medicine, she built a practice focused on uncovering the root causes behind hormone dysfunction, metabolic issues, fertility struggles, and gut-related symptoms. She is also the author of the book Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones. IN THIS EPISODE Why chronic stress has such a powerful impact on gut health and hormones How gut dysfunction contributes to fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, and weight resistance The connection between estrogen decline, microbiome diversity, and inflammation Why insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction are rising in younger women The hidden relationship between PCOS, gut health, cortisol, and fertility Why birth control is often used as a Band-Aid instead of addressing root causes The foundational lifestyle habits that support gut and hormone healing Why slowing down, resting, and reducing nervous system overload matters for recovery QUOTES “Your hormones are doing the best they can in the environment you give them.” “It doesn't matter how many supplements or hormones we throw at you if the foundations aren't in place.” “Your gut is where all healing begins.” “Your body cannot heal in survival mode.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your “Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones” Book by Dr. Cassie Smith https://guthormonefix.com/ ⁠Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Modern Endocrine Website Modern Endocrine Instagram Modern Endocrine Facebook Modern Endocrine Tiktok Modern Endocrine Youtube Hormones, Metabolism and You PodcastThe Menopause Gut Book by Cynthia Thurlow RELATED EPISODES  741: Estrogen, Gut Health, Mitochondria, and Cardiovascular Health: What Changes In Perimenopause with Dr. Siobhan Mitchel 743: Why Your Heart Risk Changes in Menopause (And What You Can Do About It) with Dr. Jayne Morgan 738: The Hidden Link Between Inflammation, Hormones & Fertility with Dr. Natalie Crawford  740: Why You're Bloated, Gaining Weight & Feeling Off in Menopause (It Starts in Your Gut) with Cynthia Thurlow

If you've spent more than 5 minutes on the health side of Instagram, you've probably been told that everything is SIBO. Bloating? SIBO. Constipation? SIBO. Looking slightly pregnant after pasta? Definitely SIBO apparently. In this episode, we're separating fact from fiction when it comes to one of the most talked-about gut conditions online: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).We unpack the biggest myths we see both online *and* in clinic - including whether SIBO testing is actually accurate, if you really need a super restrictive diet forever, why antibiotics aren't always the magic fix people hope for, and the HUGE mistakes people make when self-treating.PS: we also reference our previous episode on the 6-step framework we use clinically to help eradicate SIBO and support long-term gut healing (episode 97).FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we're not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.

Why Some Kids With Eczema and Allergies Stay Stuck in a Cycle of Flare-UpsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're talking about why so many children with eczema and allergies stay stuck in a cycle of flare-ups, food reactions, congestion, poor sleep, and constant symptom management, even after trying creams, elimination diets, supplements, and allergy testing.We share the 3 biggest differences in the Natural Super Kids approach to eczema and allergies, and why looking at the bigger immune picture can make such a difference for long-term results.In this episode, we explore:Why eczema and allergies are often treated as separate problems instead of connected immune system issuesWhat standard allergy testing can miss when it comes to histamine, sensitivities, and immune dysregulationThe gut-skin-immune connection and how gut health can influence eczema, congestion, inflammation, and food reactionsWhy individualised, realistic support works better than restrictive diets and overwhelming protocols

We cover what a full day of eating on AIP actually looks like, why food sensitivity panels cannot replace elimination and reintroduction, how to use WHOOP to track food reactions, the genetics of autoimmunity, the iodine problem in Hashimoto's, and why three out of four people who follow AIP properly get meaningful clinical improvement. Mickey is a nutrition professional and one of the founding leaders of the Autoimmune Protocol movement. She wrote the original AIP cookbook, which became the definitive guide to the protocol. Her new book, The New Autoimmune Protocol, releasing May 26, 2026, includes detailed meal plans and 70+ recipes across both the core and modified protocols. Pre-order your copy here.

Scared to eat before you go out in case you sh*t your pants?If you've suddenly started reacting to healthy foods like eggs, dairy, garlic, broccoli, or onions with bloating, gas, brain fog, diarrhea, or constipation — you are not crazy, and it's not just aging.In this episode, we're unpacking why so many women in perimenopause and midlife develop food sensitivities seemingly overnight, and why simply cutting out more and more foods is not the answer.We dive into the powerful connection between hormonal changes, stress, sleep, gut motility, and microbiome imbalance — and how they can create the perfect environment for issues like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and large intestine dysbiosis to develop.You'll learn:• How estrogen and progesterone changes impact digestion and the gut microbiome• Why chronic constipation can trigger food reactions and bloating• The different types of SIBO (hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide) and how each one feels different• Why you may feel like you're reacting to “everything” you eat• The truth about low FODMAP diets — and why they're not meant to be forever• The difference between SIBO and large intestine dysbiosis• Why aggressive gut “kill protocols” often backfire• A gentler, more sustainable approach to healing your gut without surviving on rice and chicken.If you're tired of fearing food, constantly bloated, or feeling dismissed when your symptoms don't make sense, this episode will help you understand what may really be happening in your gut — and what steps you can take to start healing.Book your IBS discovery call today here.Follow me mindful_vitality#perimenopause #menopause #bloating #sibo #foodsensitivities #heartburn #brainfog #womenshealth #hormonehealth #hrt #ibs #gerd #fatigue #nutrientdeficiencies #hairloss #glutenfree #lowfodmap

Inflammation is tied to some of the biggest health problems in the world — heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune conditions, gut disorders, brain health issues, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, mood changes, and more. And one of the best ways to understand what is driving that inflammation may begin in your gut. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and Plant Powered Plus, joins Chuck Carroll to reveal how the gut microbiome can shape inflammation throughout the body — and what you can do to start reducing inflammation naturally. Dr. B also shares practical steps for people with sensitive stomachs, bloating, IBS, or food intolerances who want to improve gut health without making symptoms worse. This is your gut-first guide to understanding inflammation, identifying what may be driving your symptoms, and taking the first steps toward better health.

Why am I bloated after eating? Bloating after eating is often linked to poor digestive health, not just the food you ate. Learn how to relieve stomach bloating and improve digestion naturally by addressing the root cause.

In this episode:I explore new research on how the combination of chronic stress and late-night eating may significantly increase digestive issues and negatively impact gut microbiome diversity. I break down the findings and share why aligning your meals with your circadian rhythm and supporting your body's “rest and digest” state can make a meaningful difference in your gut health.I also revisit my “Is This Normal?” quiz and walk you through four commonly overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper imbalances in the body. From facial puffiness and post-meal hunger to undigested food and irregular cycles, I explain how these signs may be connected to hormones, digestion, and blood sugar regulation.Links mentioned during this episode:Is This Normal FREE Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/DrqW4qlvLate night eating research: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/04/260429102026.htmIs This Normal blog post: bit.ly/lyonsisthisnormalFree Initial Consultation: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYkJoin our free weekly newsletter: www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thelyonsshareLyons' Share website: www.thelyonsshare.org

“IBS can precede an autoimmune diagnosis by about 5 to 15 years.” - Dr. Izabella WentzIBS is the ultimate catch-all diagnosis. It doesn't really tell you anything, and so many women spend years with their symptoms expanding way beyond digestion. Bloating turns into fatigue. Food sensitivities become anxiety, skin issues, pelvic pain, brain fog, autoimmune symptoms, cycle changes, or chronic inflammation that no one can ever explain. As practitioners, it's our job to unravel that IBS diagnosis and help our clients to get to the root cause.Gut health is never only about the gut. The intestinal lining, the microbiome, the immune system, the nervous system, stress physiology, infections, and nutrient status are constantly influencing one another. This is why gut issues often show up with other chronic conditions like endometriosis. Once your gut ecosystem loses resilience, the ripple effects can show up almost anywhere in the body.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Izabella Wentz, pharmacist, thyroid expert, and author of The IBS Solution. Izabella shares how her IBS diagnosis during pharmacy school eventually led to uncovering Hashimoto's thyroiditis and a much deeper understanding of the gut-immune connection. We talk about intestinal permeability and autoimmunity, the role of stress and nervous system regulation in shaping the microbiome, why IBS can sometimes mask other conditions, how to start thinking more systematically about root causes, functional testing, practical clinical strategies for helping clients move beyond symptom management, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/getting-to-the-root-cause-of-ibs-with-izabella-wentz/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

Women don't randomly develop bloating, food sensitivities, rosacea, eczema, hormone issues, and chronic inflammation overnight. But most are never told how connected these symptoms actually are.

Struggling with bloating, skin flare-ups, and energy crashes? Most traditional solutions are built to only manage symptoms. And for a while… that can work. But then the symptoms return. And you're right back where you started. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart breaks down a question most people never think to ask: What if the thing helping your symptoms… is also the reason you're not actually getting better? Because while short-term solutions like antihistamines and acid blockers can provide fast relief, they may also be interfering with digestion, nutrient absorption, and your body's ability to regulate itself long-term. Tune in to hear more about: Why symptom relief isn't the same as healing How antihistamines and acid blockers impact digestion and gut health Why symptoms often return (or worsen) after stopping them The real role histamine plays in your body How to start addressing the root cause instead of managing symptoms If you've been stuck in the cycle of "feel better → symptoms come back," this episode will help you start seeing what's really going on underneath.

In this Q&A episode, I'm answering some of the questions you have sent in recently, and we are covering a little bit of everything.We talk about what I personally use for bloating and gut support, the smart scales I've used, and the app I use regularly for tracking food and macros. I also share what my deload weeks look like, especially because I do have to train a little differently and really pay attention to what my body needs.We also get into glute growth…because no, you do not have to only train lower body if you want your glutes to grow. But you do need to train them intentionally. I break down the difference between working your glutes in lengthened and shortened positions and why both matter if you want continued progress.And of course, we cover some of the bigger questions too: recovery, intermittent fasting, “fat-burning mode,” and my honest thoughts on GLP-1s.As always, the goal is to help you cut through the noise, understand what actually matters, and build a body and lifestyle that feels strong, sustainable, and supportive.In this episode, we cover:The prebiotic/probiotic supplement I use for bloatingThe smart scales I have used and recommendWhat my deload weeks look like and why I listen to my bodyHow to train for continued glute growthWhy “fat-burning mode” from intermittent fasting is overhypedThe truth about fasting windows and fat lossMy honest, unfiltered thoughts on GLP-1sLinks/Resources:SHOP UFYF merchandiseGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterDebloat : Code: KRISTYCASTILLOFITRenpho Smart Scale SHOP Kion - my favorite Protein, EAA's and Creatine!Listen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymConnect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcastJoin my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

Bloating after meals, constipation, or sudden urgency to run to the bathroom are often brushed off as normal, but they can be signs of irritable bowel syndrome. In this episode, we unpack why IBS is often treated as a label to justify medications rather than a sign pointing you to issues brewing under the surface.Joining me today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, an integrative pharmacist, thyroid expert, and bestselling author known for helping people uncover the root causes of chronic health issues.So if you have tried elimination diets, probiotics, or leaky gut supplements without lasting relief, this conversation is for you!⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- My FAV gut support

If you're constantly feeling bloated, uncomfortable, or like your stomach is just “off”… your first thought is probably: what did I eat? And from there it turns into:cutting foods outoveranalyzing every mealtrying to figure out what your body is reacting to But what if it's not just the food? In this episode, we're breaking down a piece that almost no one explains — how your nervous system directly impacts your digestion. Because digestion isn't just about what you eat.It's about the state your body is in while you're eating and throughout the day. We get into: how stress and a “go-go-go” state slow digestion and lead to bloating why gas and pressure can build up even with normal foods what visceral hypersensitivity is and why you feel everything more intensely the gut–brain connection (without making it overwhelming) why bloating often gets worse as the day goes on how over-restricting foods can actually make symptoms worse And most importantly, what actually helps. Not extreme protocols.Not cutting everything out.Just simple shifts that support your body so digestion can work the way it's supposed to. If you've been stuck in the cycle of:symptom → food fear → restriction → more symptoms this episode will help you step out of that. Because your body isn't fragile.And it's not reacting to everything. A lot of the time… it's responding to the state it's in. Don't forget to rate and review The Chicks!

What if the bloating, mood swings, and unpredictable cycles you have been blaming on your hormones are actually your gut sending out a distress signal? The truth is that your digestive health and your hormonal balance are far more intertwined than most people realize, and addressing one without the other may be exactly why nothing has worked so far.On Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Bridget Walton, functional hormone specialist and founder of I'm Hormonal, for a candid, science-backed conversation about the connection between hormones and gut health. From estrogen metabolism and microbiome balance to stress, elimination, and the power of functional nutrition, this episode delivers the clarity and actionable guidance women navigating these challenges have been seeking.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How sluggish elimination leads to a buildup of estrogen metabolites in the body, which can directly fuel PMS symptoms, heavy periods, cramping, and mood swings.✅ Why an imbalanced gut microbiome triggers an inflammatory response that disrupts cortisol and your sex hormones, creating a cycle that is difficult to break without addressing the root cause.✅ The foundational daily habits, including eating a rainbow of fiber-rich plants, incorporating fermented foods, minimizing processed food inflammation, and proper hydration, support both digestive health and hormonal harmony.✅ How to recognize when general wellness strategies are no longer enough, and functional health testing may be the key to finally getting a personalized plan that moves the needle.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry.

You weren't. But you were missing something important. Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements in history. But almost all of that research was done on men. And when the wellness world rebranded it as a brain and energy supplement for women, nobody stopped to talk about hormones, cycle phases, gut tolerance, or the environment your body is actually in when you start taking it. Dr. G breaks down exactly what's happening — and who creatine is actually for. In this episode, you'll learn:  • Why creatine causes bloating, breakouts, and hair shedding in some women — and what it's actually telling you about your physiology  • The three groups of women when it comes to creatine: who benefits, who needs a modified approach, and who should skip it entirely for now  • What has to be in place before creatine can actually work — and why taking it on top of poor sleep, undereating, or overtraining almost always backfires If you've tried creatine and felt worse, or you're wondering if it's worth trying — this is the episode that gives you a real answer.
