If you're suffering from IBS, you may feel like that's your lot. You've got to put up with it for the rest of your life.That's because there's really no cure in the medical world. IBS is not even a disease, it's actually a set of symptoms that are NOT the result of a recognised disease (like bowel cancer or Inflammatory Bowel Disease).Once you've been diagnosed with IBS, you're pretty much left to manage it on your own. There are some drugs that can help with symptoms, but they're not doing just that, managing the symptoms.But the good news is that if you can find the root cause for it, then you have a fighting chance of actually resolving it for good (naturally!).Contact us if you'd like more information on our stool and blood tests to help with gut health; www.happyhormonesforlife.com/contact
#108: What’s up with your baby’s gut? Do babies need probiotics to help make their belly health better? In this episode I’m joined by James Marin, RD, EN and Dahlia Marin, RDN, LD of @marriedtohealth. They’re a plant-based dietitian team who help parents and clients with their unique approach to integrative medicine. In this episode we’re chatting about your baby’s microbiome (...and also your gut health!) How can foods provide the probiotic bacteria a healthy gut needs, and what foods babies can eat to make this happen. James & Dahlia also speak about what supplements babies should (and should not) take as well as their evolution to a 100% plant based diet for their family and how that worked when they were doing baby-led weaning. If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together! Subscribe, rate and review the podcast here.

Many SIBO treatments do a great job of killing your unwanted bacteria, but they don't necessarily set you up for long-term good gut health. In today's episode, we are going to go a little bit deeper into some of the herbs and natural supplements that can be used as part of your SIBO toolkit. My guest, Dr. Will Cole, is a leading functional-medicine expert and author of the new bestselling book, Ketotarian, in which he melds the powerful benefits of a ketogenic diet with a plant-based one. More importantly, he treats acute digestive issues like SIBO with the whole microbiome in mind. In today’s conversation, we dive deeper into his approach and cover so much ground, including: What effect non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s – like advil) can have on the microbiome the role of epigenetics in SIBO, meaning how our lifestyle choices can switch genes on and off how your microbiome is more than just your SIBO, and ways to support it overall histamine intolerance and how that effects your natural treatment plan Whether you should take probiotics while using herbs to kill your SIBO Biofilm and how to fight it Die-off symptoms (also known as Herxheimer response) and how to know if this is what you’re experiencing versus an intolerance of something in your treatment What supplements to take to prevent relapse How to use your diet as a way to prevent relapse Gut-brain connection: Stress management and how that influences SIBO And some other lesser known options like Helminth therapy For more info on each episode, plus gluten-free (low FODMAP) recipes, healthy living tips, and more, visit https://www.feedmephoebe.com.
