We also break down the conversation around gluten, dairy, artificial sweeteners and food sensitivities, plus what Dr. Luther thinks we're getting wrong about gut health.One of the biggest conversations in this episode is colorectal cancer in younger adults.

Pregnancy can bring major changes to digestion and bowel habits. But if you're already living with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), bloating, abdominal discomfort, or chronic constipation, it can be difficult to know what's related to pregnancy—and what may be related to your digestive condition. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Health Podcast, Dr. Lin Chang, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a leading expert in disorders of gut-brain interaction and women's digestive health, explains what patients should know about IBS-C and constipation during pregnancy. You'll learn: • How pregnancy-related constipation differs from IBS-C • Why IBS symptoms may change during pregnancy • What may contribute to increased bloating and constipation • Diet and lifestyle strategies to discuss with your healthcare provider • What to know about the low-FODMAP diet during pregnancy • Treatment and medication considerations • Symptoms that shouldn't automatically be attributed to IBS or pregnancy If you're pregnant—or planning a pregnancy—and live with IBS-C or chronic constipation, this conversation can help you better understand your symptoms and prepare for conversations with your healthcare team. This patient education episode was produced by Gastro Girl in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology Patient Care Committee. #IBSC #Pregnancy #Constipation #IBS #Bloating #DigestiveHealth  

Bloating after you eat is common, but it isn't normal, and your gut health is tied to far more than digestion.Tina Anderson, co-founder of Just Thrive, mom of three and brand new grandmother, joins The Mom Room to share how she went from litigation to the pharmaceutical world to building a probiotic company focused on root causes instead of symptoms.Renee and Tina get into what spore-based probiotics are and how they differ from what's on the grocery store shelf, why Tina says not to get caught up in CFU numbers, and how stress, antibiotics and ultra-processed foods affect the gut. They also cover gut health on a GLP-1, the new Just Thrive Digestive Bitters, the gut and perimenopause connection, and Renee's very relatable September stress spiral.This episode is in partnership with Just Thrive.

What Is Integrative Medicine, Really? And Why It Might Be the Missing Piece in Your Health Journey Welcome to Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health! The Go-To Holistic Health Podcast for Christian Women Seeking to Boost Their Energy and Overall Well-Being! Blubrry Nominated as a Favorite Woman Podcaster! Ranked in the Best 15 Christian Health Podcasts! Have you ever left a doctor's appointment with a prescription in hand — and still no answer to the question you actually asked? If you've been wondering what is integrative medicine, really, this episode is your answer. Dr. Rekishia McMillan shares her own seven-year journey through being overmedicated during perimenopause — treated symptom by symptom, with no one asking why her hands and feet stayed ice-cold, her hair was thinning, her heart palpitated, and her skin stayed extremely dry. She breaks down what integrative medicine actually means, walks through her own clinical approach (starting with blood type, nutrition therapy, and fasting protocols), shares real research on how many women are turning to complementary care, and unpacks a question Jesus asked in Scripture that captures the heart of what true wholeness means — body, soul, and spirit. In this episode you'll learn: Why treating symptoms in isolation often leaves the real root cause untouched Dr. Rekishia's personal story of seven years of overmedication without real answers Her actual clinical approach: why bloodwork and blood type come first, and why nutrition and fasting protocols matter for both physical and spiritual health Real data on how many U.S. women are turning to complementary and alternative medicine — and how that number has grown over the last two decades Why true wholeness requires alignment across body, soul, and spirit The Greek word behind Jesus's question, "Do you want to be made whole?" — and what it reveals about integrative medicine's core purpose Episode Timestamps 0:00 — Teaser: The question that gets to the heart of integrative medicine 0:50 — Opening & my story: seven years of overmedication 2:30 — What is integrative medicine, really? 3:20 — My integrative approach: blood type, nutrition therapy & fasting protocols 5:25 — What the research shows: women and complementary medicine 6:40 — Body, soul & spirit: the foundation of true wholeness 8:20 — The question Jesus asked: what "whole" really means 10:00 — The foundation & wrap-up 10:50 — Wellness Assessment & 90-Day Wellness Reset, and closing scripture Join Dr. Rekishia

For this very special episode of Catch Ups in My Kitchen, we've officially left the kitchen and taken the podcast to the Dolomites!Mum and I are recording from the balcony of Engel Ayurpura, a beautiful Ayurveda retreat in the heart of the Dolomites in South Tyrol, where we're spending three days slowing down, switching off and immersing ourselves in an Ayurvedic way of living.Engel Ayurpura is centred around the philosophy of Ayurveda and the idea of taking a step back from everyday life to reconnect with yourself. Each stay is tailored to the individual, with the hotel's Ayurveda medical team creating personalised treatments, therapies and nutrition plans based on your needs. The food is also a huge part of the experience, with individual Ayurvedic menus designed to help bring your doshas back into balance. And all of this is set against the rather incredible backdrop of the Dolomites.In this episode, Mum and I are sharing what the experience has actually been like, from our first Ayurvedic doctor's appointment and what we learned about our bodies, to the treatments, food, caffeine withdrawals (!) and the little Ayurvedic practices I'd love to take home with me.We also have a much bigger catch up on health and where we both are at the moment. I share an update on my bloating and the changes that have finally made a difference for me, while Mum talks about her recovery following breast cancer and what she's focusing on now.This episode is in collaboration with Engel Ayurpura.

You eat clean. And your stomach blows up by 2pm. So your doctor says it is acid reflux and puts you on a PPI. But what if the problem was never too much acid — what if it was too little?In this episode, Stephanie Crassweller breaks down the science of low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) — why women in perimenopause and menopause are especially vulnerable, how stress and hormonal shifts shut down digestion, why PPIs and antacids make the problem worse, and the exact order of operations to rebuild your digestion so your body can actually absorb the protein you are eating.If you are bloated, losing muscle, exhausted, and doing everything right on paper — this episode will change how you think about your gut.

In this episode I explain why your gut and your hormones are in constant two-way communication, how shifting estrogen in perimenopause slows your digestion and drives that afternoon bloat, and why the probiotics and elimination diets you have been trying may be targeting the wrong thing. Gut issues are not something I talk about from the outside. I live with a sensitive stomach and celiac myself, so I know how frustrating it is to do everything right and still feel awful. I get into how estrogen shapes the bacteria in your gut, how your gut in turn decides how much estrogen stays in your body, and why that feedback loop can leave you puffy, gassy, and suddenly reacting to foods like eggs and salads that never used to bother you. If you are tired of guessing your way through probiotics and powders that never quite work, join me for my FREE gut workshop on Sunday, September 20th at 7PM Central. I will go deeper into the estrogen and gut connection, what to actually test, and simple shifts you can start this week. If you cannot make it live, register anyway and I will send you the replay.

You have eaten the same yogurt bowl every morning for months. Then, one random Tuesday you eat it again, same bowl, same time, and suddenly you're painfully bloated, your face is flushed, your head is pounding, and a wave of anxiety hits. So, you start a food journal. You cut the berries, then the yogurt, then the coffee, and nothing changes. In this episode I explain why this can be a histamine response, and why estrogen and histamine feed off each other in a loop almost no one talks about. This one is personal for me because I live with it. I get into my own history, from being told for years that I was not allergic to anything to reacting so badly to a single mosquito bite that I wake up scratching in the middle of the night. I also cover why a food sensitivity test is not always the right first step, and the simple daily habit I use to help my body clear histamine out. If you are tired of going from specialist to specialist without anyone connecting the dots, grab my FREE Hormone Cascade Map in the show notes to see how it all links together. And when you are ready to find out whether estrogen is driving your histamine, book a call with my team.

Have you been struggling with gut issues for years, or suddenly have bloating, weird pain or digestive problems now that menopause is here? Are you one of those who cut out gluten hoping for relief, only to feel just as lousy (or worse)? We cover: Why your gut goes a little haywire in menopause, and why it has nothing to do with "just getting older" The gluten truth that made me rethink everything I put in my mouth (most of us get this completely backwards) How simply believing a food will hurt you can physically make it hurt you, and what that means for your power to change it A free international study you can join from your couch if you're dealing with IBS The one simple shift that beats probiotics and cutting out foods for a calmer gut   Associate Professor Jessica Biesiekierski is Head of Human Nutrition at the University of Melbourne and one of Australia's leading researchers in gut health, diet, and gut–brain interaction. Jess leads large international randomised controlled trials investigating how dietary and psychological interventions can improve gut conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Her work has been published in top journals including The Lancet, Gastroenterology, and The American Journal of Gastroenterology. She is internationally recognised for her research on non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, the low FODMAP diet, and how gut–brain mechanisms shape food-related symptoms. She currently leads the world-first head-to-head study comparing the low FODMAP diet with exposure-based cognitive behavioural therapy in people with IBS, recruiting across Australia and the USA.   Clinical trial — the Exclude or Expose Study in IBS — which is actively recruiting adults with IBS in both Australia and the USA. The trial compares two leading, evidence-based IBS treatments head-to-head for the first time: the low FODMAP diet (an exclusion-based dietary approach) versus exposure-based cognitive behavioural therapy (which works by helping the brain respond differently to gut symptoms and feared foods). Both are delivered entirely online over 12 weeks, free of charge, with one-on-one support from a dietitian or psychologist throughout. Many women experiencing gut symptoms around menopause may qualify.

Chronic bloating is one of the most frustrating gut health symptoms—especially when you've already eliminated gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods, or other suspected triggers and still feel swollen after meals. In this episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech explores the potential contributors to persistent bloating and why simply removing more foods may not always address the root cause. The conversation examines five food categories discussed in the episode: gluten and refined carbohydrates, dairy, sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed "health foods," and highly fermentable foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables. The discussion then moves beyond diet into the mechanisms that may contribute to chronic digestive symptoms. These include stomach acid and digestion, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), gut motility, the gut-brain connection, stress, and the relationship between the nervous system and digestive function. A central theme is the idea of looking beyond individual foods toward the broader gut health "terrain"—including the microbiome, digestive function, nutritional status, inflammation, and other factors that may influence how someone responds to food. The episode is particularly relevant for people dealing with ongoing bloating alongside IBS or other chronic digestive complaints who feel as though they've already tried every elimination diet available. Josh also discusses why some foods commonly promoted as healthy can be difficult to tolerate during periods of digestive distress, and why personalized assessment can be more useful than endlessly restricting the diet. Importantly, several physiological and treatment-related claims made in the episode should be interpreted in the context of current medical evidence rather than as universal explanations for bloating.

She had spent years searching for separate answers to bloating, PCOS, poor sleep, excessive gas, and fertility struggles. Then her son developed reflux, mucus in his stool, constipation, poor sleep, and obvious digestive discomfort.She kept researching probiotics, calming remedies and nervous-system support because everything felt fragmented. Then in listening to other episodes on the podcast, she realized something that changed the entire direction of their healing… she doesn't need a separate solution for every symptom.In this episode, I'm sharing her message and revealing the deeper connection between the symptoms a mother experiences throughout her life and the symptoms that can appear in her child. We'll also talk about why we sometimes resist the answer that makes the most intuitive sense, especially after trying so many things that did not work.If you have been chasing symptoms, collecting supplements, and wondering which problem to address first, this episode will help you zoom out, understand the whole picture, and confidently choose your next step.Thanks for listening!

 A popular, easy-to-get, inexpensive supplement might be life-changing - or causing more harm than good. In this episode, I'm talking about HCl (stomach acid).

What if you've spent years being told that everything is “normal,” while your body is telling you something completely different? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Chandra Marin, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to explore her decades-long journey with chronic symptoms, digestive dysfunction, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, and unexplained health challenges. Chandra's story began in her teens with severe constipation, episodes of passing out, chronic headaches, painful periods, and a feeling that her metabolism simply wasn't working like everyone else's. After contracting West Nile virus, her energy declined even further, making exercise, hiking, dancing, and everyday activities increasingly difficult. For years, conventional testing continued to come back “normal,” while her symptoms persisted. Everything changed when Chandra discovered Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and Functional Lab Testing. Instead of relying on generic advice, she finally received personalized information about what was happening inside her body. Testing revealed significant gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, bacterial imbalance, digestive issues, and other areas requiring support. One of the biggest turning points came from identifying foods her body was reacting to. Within about three weeks of following a personalized food-sensitivity-based protocol, her severe bloating and gas dramatically improved, her stomach felt normal, her energy began returning, and she lost 10–12 pounds. Chandra also shares how personalized healing protocols, metabolic typing, hormone support, and a deeper understanding of her nervous system helped improve her energy, concentration, mood, anxiety, and brain fog. Most importantly, this conversation explores the emotional side of chronic health challenges, including losing hope, gaslighting yourself, feeling ashamed, and eventually learning to trust your body again. Discover why Chandra believes your body is not the enemy, it is the authority, and why becoming your own “health detective” can be the beginning of a completely different relationship with your health.

Western medicine diagnoses people with autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism, IBS, high cholesterol, stubborn weight, fatigue… And then treats every one of those things like it's an isolated problem. Thyroid low? → Here's thyroid medication. Can't lose weight? → Eat less. Exercise more. Gut symptoms? → Here's another prescription. H. pylori? → Here's an antibiotic. But WHO THE HELL is asking WHY? Have you ever been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease… but nobody investigated WHY your immune system started attacking your own body? Have thyroid problems… but your care stops at checking TSH and adjusting medication? Struggle with stubborn weight despite eating well, exercising and taking all the "right" supplements? Deal with bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, hair loss or inflammation—and get told it's age, hormones or stress? Or maybe your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal"… while you KNOW you don't feel normal? I see it all day, every day, with nearly EVERY patient that comes to us. And here's what I want to know: Why is the immune system dysregulated? Why is the thyroid struggling? Why is the gut inflamed? Why is an infection like H. pylori thriving? What does the microbiome look like? What environmental toxins and exposures could be adding to the burden? Are the liver, kidneys, lymph and bowels adequately supporting elimination? And if a doctor is going to prescribe an antibiotic for something like H. pylori… did anyone even investigate whether that strain carries resistance genes to the drug they're about to prescribe? Now ask yourself the BIG question: Has anyone ever gone looking for what might be underneath your diagnosis?

Bloating, fatigue, irritability, brain fog, anxiety—what if some of it traces back to your gut? In this episode of Wellness Wednesday, Helen sits down with 3W Medical Director, Jen Miller, to unpack the growing conversation around gut health and why it matters more than most people realize.

They discuss: how gut health impacts mood, anxiety, and serotonin why the gut is closely connected to mental health common inflammatory foods like gluten and sugar the role of antibiotics in disrupting the microbiome how food diaries and elimination diets can help identify issues the difference between prebiotics and probiotics why many people feel dismissed when searching for root-cause answers This episode is a practical, approachable introduction to understanding how nutrition and lifestyle choices may be affecting both your physical and mental health more than you think.

In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with recent FDN graduate Jaime Dadd to unpack what a GI Map test finally revealed after a lifetime of guessing: H. pylori, low pancreatic elastase, bacterial overgrowth, and gut inflammation that had likely been building since her teenage years. In this episode: Why bloating and gas on a clean diet almost always point somewhere deeper than food What low stomach acid looks like decades before anyone connects the dots How ten rounds of antibiotics for recurring mastitis reshaped her gut What her GI Map, MRT, and cortisol results actually showed The blood sugar and inflammation thread running through her whole story Her breast cancer diagnosis at 45, and the shame that came with being "the healthy one" Why healthy on paper and healthy in your labs are not the same thing Six months after running her own labs and following her protocol, the gas is gone, the headaches are gone, and the afternoon crash is gone.

Send us Fan MailIf you've been treating chronic constipation, bloating, and motility issues from the gut side alone, microbiome work, methane SIBO protocols, bile flow, motility agents, and progress keeps stalling, there may be a structural piece nobody has assessed. In this episode, pelvic floor physical therapist Rebecca Patton explains how the muscles of the abdomen and pelvis form a single pressure system, why pain drives that system into protective tension, and how that tension makes motility worse in a self-reinforcing loop.The conversation covers outlet obstruction constipation, why not every pelvic floor therapist actually evaluates the pelvic floor, and the widely under-recognized role of past abdominal surgeries, C-sections, hysterectomies, gallbladder removals, appendectomies, in gut dysfunction that shows up years later.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your gut and pelvic floor are one connected pressure system, not separate problemsHow pain creates protective muscle tension that slows motility even furtherWhat outlet obstruction constipation is, and why laxatives don't touch itWhy Kegels can make things worse for some peopleHow C-sections, hysterectomies, gallbladder removals, and appendectomies affect gut function years laterWhy recurrent SIBO may have a structural root cause nobody's checkedWhat an actual pelvic floor evaluation involves, and the three questions to ask before bookingWhy gut protocols and pelvic floor rehab stall without each otherAbout Rebecca: Dr. Rebecca Patton is a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Patton Pelvic Health in Arizona.

She explains why standard blood work cannot see which pathway your body favors, why the DUTCH test is the missing piece, and what inflammation, cortisol, thyroid, insulin resistance, and liver congestion have to do with whether progesterone helps you or hurts you.If you started progesterone and feel worse — this episode is for you.What you'll learn:

What happens when every medical test comes back "normal," yet your body is telling you something is seriously wrong? In this powerful episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN Practitioner) Betsy Stevenson shares her remarkable journey through years of unexplained neurological symptoms that mimicked mini-strokes, debilitating fatigue, digestive dysfunction, insomnia, hormone imbalance, and overwhelming burnout. Despite extensive medical testing, including MRIs, heart evaluations, CT scans, blood work, and specialist visits, she was repeatedly told everything looked normal. Everything changed when Functional Lab Testing revealed profound HPA Axis dysfunction, extremely low cortisol, disrupted hormone health, impaired detox pathways, and deeper physiological imbalances that conventional testing had overlooked. Betsy explains how discovering Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, a true Health Detective approach, helped uncover the hidden stressors driving her chronic health challenges. Together, Michele and Betsy explore why Root Cause Healing requires more than symptom management. They discuss the importance of Functional Medicine, Functional Diagnostics, personalized healing protocols, metabolic typing, nervous system regulation, lifestyle changes, restorative sleep, stress reduction, and bio-individual nutrition. Betsy also shares how improving Gut Health through comprehensive testing uncovered IBS, colitis, bacterial imbalances, Candida, and digestive dysfunction, allowing her to rebuild health from the inside out. This conversation highlights why Holistic Health means treating the entire body as an interconnected system rather than focusing on isolated symptoms. If you've been struggling with Chronic Fatigue, Brain Fog, Hormone Issues, Digestive Problems, Food Sensitivities, Bloating, Blood Sugar instability, Metabolic Dysfunction, Burnout, or have been told your labs are "normal" despite feeling unwell, this episode offers hope, education, and practical insight into a different path forward. Whether you're searching for Natural Healing, considering working with an FDN Practitioner, exploring Functional Nutrition, or looking for answers beyond conventional medicine, Betsy's story demonstrates how identifying hidden dysfunction can create lasting Health Transformation.

Dr. Heather and I just did something we've never done on this podcast before. Can two hormone practitioners actually guess a client's gut test results just from her symptoms alone?That's the game we played on this week's episode, and honestly, neither of us knew if we'd end up looking brilliant or completely humbled. We took a real client case, someone newer to us who we barely knew yet, and we called our shots on her labs before opening a single result: just her age, her symptoms, and a peek at how she eats.Then we pulled up her actual GI-MAP and Full Monty panel live and found out exactly how close we got.It's part detective game, part science breakdown, part two friends arguing over bacteria names we can barely pronounce. We nerded out for almost forty minutes on one test, and it's one of my favorite episodes we've ever recorded.Here's what we get into:Why a client eating clean, whole foods can still be bloated, exhausted, and moody for a full week before her periodThe gut bacteria and mood connection that had Heather and me both going Wait, say that againWhat a low SigA marker can tell you about immune function, gut lining, and even fertilityWhy a history of constipation is one of the first things we flag before we even look at a testHow H. pylori and low stomach acid quietly sabotage digestion without you ever knowing it's happeningWhether our predictions actually matched her real results, or if one of us had to eat some serious wordsIf you've ever sat there staring at labs that say normal while your body is screaming otherwise, I made this one for you. Normal doesn't mean thriving. It just means you landed somewhere inside a range built for the general population, not built for you.This client's story is honestly so relatable it's almost funny. She's doing everything "right." Four eggs, good fats, whole foods, eating at home most nights. And she's still dealing with a full week of PMS symptoms before her period even shows up. Low energy. Irritability. Some days that dip into sadness she can't explain. If you've been there, wondering why doing all the right things isn't fixing how you feel, this episode walks through the actual why behind it.What made this one so fun (and honestly a little vulnerable for both of us) is that Heather and I had to commit to our guesses out loud before we had any idea if we were right. She'd say something like "I think Morganella is going to be high" and I'm sitting there going, nothing crazy, and then we just had to wait and see who got humbled first. Turns out guessing is a lot easier when your name isn't on the test.We talk through her gut bacteria levels, what butyrate actually does for your mood (it's more connected to how you feel emotionally than people realize), and how low good bacteria can quietly wear down your gut lining without a single obvious symptom pointing you there. We also break down beta-glucuronidase, which sounds intimidating but is really just the marker that tells you whether your body is clearing estrogen properly or pulling it back in for a rerun nobody asked for.Then there's the SigA conversation, which might be my favorite part of the whole episode. That one marker says so much about whether your immune system has any fight left in it, and it matters even more if you're trying to conceive. We really go there.What I love most about this episode is the reminder that you don't have to have sixteen different problems to explain why you feel off. A lot of the time it really is one or two things: bile flow, mineral depletion, a gut lining that needs some love, quietly running the whole show behind the scenes. Once you can actually see what's happening, the fix is usually a lot less complicated than you'd expect.So if you've been staring at your own "normal" results, feeling confused about why your body doesn't feel normal at all, or if you just want to sit in on two practitioners guessing, bickering a little, and geeking out over gut bacteria in real time, hit play.Guess along with us.

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.

Over the course of our lives, we all experience “mystery symptoms” that seem to come out of nowhere—from bloating, brain fog, and anxiety to thyroid problems and stubborn weight. Today we're getting to the root of the most significant health blind spots of our time—your gut.
