Federico Quevedo y la experta en bienestar y salud Ana Pedroche hablan sobre la microbiota y el SIBO

If you could only run one lab test to figure out what's going on in your body, which one should it be? I used to make the same mistake many functional health practices still make: cherry-picking lab tests based on whichever symptoms are loudest. If you have irregular cycles, it seems logical to test hormones first, but that's like cleaning trash out at the bottom of the river without ever looking upstream at where it's coming from. In this episode, I'll explain why the gut sits upstream of nearly everything, and why hormones, thyroid, adrenals, mood, immune health, and even hair thinning can all trace back to it. That's why, if you can only start with one test, I believe a GI map gives you the best bang for your buck, whether or not you have loud digestive symptoms. I'll share what my own first GI map uncovered, from SIBO to H. pylori to low digestive enzymes, and why gut health is about so much more than bloating and bathroom habits. We'll also talk about what comes next once your gut is on the right track, including how we decide between options like a DUTCH test, an HTMA, an MRT, or deeper blood work. At the end I'll walk through why that next step looks different for every person, based on budget, symptoms, and how your body responds to gut improvements. If you want a personalized roadmap for your labs, this episode will point you in the right direction and show you where to start.

Dr. Jenn Simmons speaks with pharmacist turned integrative health author Dr. Isabella Wentz about the hidden drivers of IBS, why so many people get mislabeled without answers, and how gut issues can connect to autoimmune disease, hormones, and chronic inflammation. Dr. Wentz shares her own path from conventional pharmacy into root-cause medicine, including how her personal experience with fatigue, IBS, and Hashimoto's changed everything.We discuss the limits of standard IBS care, the most useful testing strategies, and the major causes she sees in practice, from SIBO and food sensitivities to protozoal infections and hormone disruption. This conversation is especially useful for anyone who has been told their digestive symptoms are “just IBS” and wants a more complete framework.Key topicsDr. Wentz shares how she entered pharmacy school wanting to invent drugs, not practice natural medicine, and how her own illness redirected her career.Her first major gut issue began in pharmacy school with fatigue and severe IBS symptoms, which improved after removing certain soy-based meal replacements.She explains IBS as a wastebasket diagnosis, not a true root-cause diagnosis, and says it often reflects a much bigger underlying problem.She notes that IBS can precede autoimmune conditions by 5 to 10 years, which is why gut symptoms should be taken seriously.She outlines red flags that should prompt further testing, including rectal bleeding, blood in stool, weight loss, fever, and new IBS symptoms after age 35 to 40.She recommends functional testing such as SIBO breath testing and comprehensive stool analysis like GI Map or Gut Zoomer to look for dysbiosis, low enzymes, and infections.She explains why SIBO often comes back if the true driver is not addressed, such as low thyroid function, low stomach acid, H. pylori, or protozoal infection.She cautions against overly restrictive diets, saying many people end up with “gluten-free junk food” patterns or elimination diets so strict they create new problems.She discusses food sensitivity testing, saying results vary widely by method, but she has seen strong practical value in IgG testing for symptom tracking.She highlights the role of parasites and protozoa, especially microscopic organisms like Giardia and Blastocystis, and her preference for testing rather than guessing.She and Dr. Simmons discuss hormone effects on digestion, including how progesterone decline and estrogen dominance may contribute to constipation and IBS symptoms.Dr. Wentz emphasizes that healing should support real life, not perfection, so people can travel, eat normally sometimes, and still feel well.Timestamps00:00 - Why Dr. Wentz wrote her fifth book on IBS 03:29 - From pharmacy school to the first signs something was wrong 04:42 - Fatigue, IBS, and the soy lecithin discovery 06:57 - When Hashimoto's changed the entire direction of her career 08:21 - Why root-cause medicine became impossible to ignore 10:51 - How she found answers before functional medicine was mainstream 13:54 - Why IBS is often the wrong label for the real problem 18:39 - Red flags that should never be written off as IBS 21:26 - The two tests she relies on most: SIBO and stool analysis 23:15 - Why SIBO keeps returning when the root cause remains 26:53 - Protozoa, infections, and why SIBO is often secondary 28:18 - Movement, walking, and improving gut motility 29:06 - What IBS still gets wrong today 30:17 - Why gluten and dairy are often the first foods to remove 31:33 - When elimination diets become too extreme 33:30 - Processed “healthy” foods, artificial sweeteners, and gut irritation 36:27 - Birth control, IBS risk, and hidden hormone effects 42:26 - Progesterone, estrogen dominance, and constipation cycles 45:04 - Gut connections to anxiety, TMJ, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue 47:50 - Parasites, protozoa, and how Dr. Wentz tests for them 52:28 - Full moon timing and why collection method matters 54:28 - Why food sensitivity testing depends on the test used 57:17 - Getting foods back after elimination 59:33 - Her own shift away from perfectionism 62:50 - What the IBS book covers and who should read it 65:10 - Where to find Dr. Wentz onlineTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideConnect with Dr. Jenn:Website:  https://www.perfeqtionimaging.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

I'm thrilled to reconnect with microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan today. Kiran co-founded Just Thrive and previously served as Chief Scientific Officer at Microbiome Labs. He has more than 16 years of experience in the dietary supplement and nutrition industry, with postgraduate research experience in molecular biology and virology. In today's conversation, we take a deep dive into the science of spore-based probiotics, their ecological impact, how they interact with the existing gut microbiome, their potential to address dysbiosis, and why standard probiotics fail to survive stomach acid in meaningful numbers. We explore research on osteoarthritis, catabolism, and the gut-hormone connection, discussing how declining bacterial diversity may influence the metabolic and hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause. Kiran explains the role of the pathobiome and endotoxemia, how the gut-brain axis can influence inflammation, and the importance of gut-barrier integrity, neurotransmitter production, and vagal nerve signaling in regulating the immune system. We also discuss the differences between fiber, resistant starch, polyphenols, fermented foods, prebiotics, and postbiotics, and Kiran shares his perspective on the carnivore diet, its potential impact on the microbiome, and key insights into SIBO. Stay tuned for today's fascinating and informative conversation with Kiran Krishnan. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Kiran explains the science behind spore-based probiotics Why spore-based probiotics can survive stomach acid better than many standard probiotics  How inflammation can inhibit the growth of beneficial gut bacteria How bacterial diversity in the gut decreases during perimenopause and menopause Why awareness of endotoxemia remains limited within the broader medical community Kiran explains how the gut-brain axis helps the body respond to its environment What prebiotics and postbiotics actually do Why an inability to tolerate fiber may point to a problem with the underlying biology rather than the food itself How SIBO and SIFO can be symptoms of a more complex underlying problem Bio: Kiran Krishman, Ph.D. Kiran is a research microbiologist and a health and wellness expert who aims to make complex information understandable to all. He has founded several successful health and supplement companies over the last 15 years, including co-founding and leading Microbiome Labs, a preeminent microbiome therapeutics-focused brand among healthcare professionals.

Welcome to the first episode of Season 7 of the Your Longevity Blueprint podcast!  One week from today, on Tuesday, September 29th, my third book, Your Hormone Blueprint: Optimizing Vitality and Longevity Through Integrative and Functional Medicine, is coming out.  Stay tuned as I talk about my book, share the argument at its heart, and walk you through what I truly want every woman and every man to understand about their bodies. How to build a strong foundation before considering HRT: Start with good nutrition — Make sure you're getting the vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s your body needs to use hormones effectively.  Keep your bowels regular — Regular elimination helps your body clear hormones it no longer needs.  Support healthy liver function — Consider factors such as alcohol, medications, and environmental toxins that can place an additional burden on the liver.  Bio: Stephanie Gray Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable, optimal health and longevity.  A nurse practitioner since 2009, Dr. Gray completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism from the University of Iowa in 2011 and holds a Master's in Metabolic Nutritional Medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School.

SIBO treatment continues to evolve—and Dr. Allison Siebecker is back on The Turd Nerds to break down even more of the latest research on how we treat SIBO and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).In Part 2 of our SIBO research update, we move beyond conventional antibiotics and dig into new data on herbal antimicrobials, probiotics, prokinetics, gut motility, and post-infectious IBS.We start with new human research on an herbal antimicrobial combination containing allicin, neem, and pomegranate peel, including its effects on hydrogen and methane production and SIBO symptoms.Then we tackle one of the more controversial questions in SIBO care: probiotics. Can probiotics actually improve SIBO treatment outcomes? Allison walks us through new research on Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus coagulans, E. coli Nissle 1917, synbiotics, and probiotics used alongside rifaximin.We also take a deeper look at two of our favorite prokinetics. New research on Iberogast suggests its benefits may extend beyond motility and symptom relief to include prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal barrier effects. And prucalopride may be doing much more than helping patients poop—with emerging research exploring cognition, enteric nerve regeneration, visceral sensitivity, and the gut-brain connection.Finally, Allison gives us an update on research into post-infectious IBS and SIBO, including work targeting the anti-vinculin pathway that could eventually change how we approach SIBO that develops after food poisoning.IN THIS EPISODE:• New research on herbal antimicrobials for SIBO• Allicin, neem, and pomegranate peel for hydrogen and methane• Can probiotics improve SIBO treatment success?• Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus coagulans, and E. coli Nissle• Probiotics alongside rifaximin• Iberogast as a prokinetic, prebiotic, and gut-barrier support• Prucalopride and intestinal nerve regeneration• Prucalopride, cognition, and the gut-brain connection• Motility and visceral hypersensitivity• Anti-vinculin antibodies and post-infectious IBS• What future SIBO treatment may look likeWhether you treat SIBO every day or you're trying to understand why it keeps coming back, this episode offers a look at how rapidly the SIBO treatment landscape is changing.Music provided by Blue Dot.

This one is straight from Day 1 of my free Nail Your Niche challenge, and it is the training I wish someone had handed me in year two of my health coaching business.Here is the short version. You have a niche. It is probably not niched enough to work in 2026. The way we niche has changed in the last two years and most coaches are still running a strategy from 2023, which is why you can do everything right and still feel invisible.I break down the three criteria a problem has to meet before it will ever make you money, why root cause language quietly kills your marketing, and the shift I call identity-based niching. I audit a lot of businesses. Almost nobody has this part in place.I also tell the story of the cliff I jumped off that ended my skiing career, the seven years of chronic fatigue that followed, and the $10K year that turned into a quarter million once I stopped communicating like a practitioner.In this episodeThe three types of coaches this training is for: great offer and no clients, feast or famine, and the one hit wonderWhy a list of deliverables is not an offer, and why adding more to the list makes it harder to sell, not easierMy numbers: just over $10,000 in a full year selling single sessions, $90,000 the year I niched down to one transformation, almost a quarter million the year after when nothing changed except how I communicated itThe two criteria that make a problem profitable: chronic and severe, and why a tension headache fails both while a migraine passesThe third criterion that trumps the other two: awareness level, and why targeting inflammation, adrenal fatigue, leaky gut, or nervous system dysregulation puts you in front of people who do not know they have the problemWhat to target instead, with specific swaps for metabolic issues, nervous system dysregulation, inflammation, parasites, and blood sugarWhy mold, SIBO, Hashimoto's and other diagnoses can work, as long as you are targeting people already diagnosedIdentity-based niching: why "women in their 40s" is a demographic, not an identity, and the test that tells you which one you haveThe phrases that are not identities, including high achieving woman, busy moms, heart centered, health conscious, and woman in perimenopauseWhy the same fatigue program has to be built completely differently for new moms than for retired seniorsThe billboard rule: your niche statement has one job, and buying is not itWhy your method, whether that is HTMA, Reiki, macro tracking, acupuncture or plant-based nutrition, belongs in your offer and not in your niche statementPain point marketing versus outcome marketing, and why leading with the dream losesWhy your niche is a marketing decision, not a practice decision, and why you can always switchResourcesGrab the niche statement workbook: DM the words "niche workbook" to me on Instagram @kendraperryincHealth Coach Accelerator, my six month business mentorship for health coaches and practitioners: LINK TO CONFIRM (found two candidates, go.kendraperry.net/hca and go.kendraperry.net/accelerator, need Kendra to say which is current)Find me on Instagram: @kendraperryincWebsite: kendraperry.netLeave the podcast a 5-star review: https://ratethispodcast.com/wealthy

Jenny McCarthy joins Dr. Jill to share her deeply personal battle with mold toxicity, from severe brain fog and gut issues to infections, eye problems, and debilitating pain. They explore how she finally identified mold as a potential trigger, why conventional detox strategies weren't enough for her, and her experience turning to Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE).

Can digestive enzymes help with IBS symptoms? What about enzymes that target specific FODMAPs? In this episode of The Gut Show, we're talking with Jocelyn Wells from FODZYME about digestive enzymes and their role in breaking down FODMAPs. We'll explore what digestive enzymes are, how they work, and how targeted enzyme therapy may help with digestion and IBS symptoms. We'll take a closer look at enzymes designed to target specific FODMAPs, discuss whether using an enzyme supplement means you're actually deficient in that enzyme, and whether enzyme therapy can be effective when it doesn't target every FODMAP group. If you're a clinician wanting FODZYME samples and resources for your practice, you can request them here.    In this episode, we cover: Behind the scenes [1:53] Today's guest [3:35] What are enzymes? [4:39] What are the different types of enzymes? [6:14] If an enzyme works, does that mean you are deficient? [10:59] Targeted enzyme therapy [17:57] Specific enzymes for the different FODMAPs [22:07] Inulinase [23:40] How do these enzymes work? [28:24] Is it a bad thing to not have that fermentation process? [31:18] Does it actually work if it doesn't target all of the groups? [34:31] Can we bypass this and just put these microbes in the gut? [40:28] Access to dietitian team [43:42] Have your provider request free samples for their office [47:32] What's coming up this season [50:05]   Mentioned in this episode: What's your poop personality?

Show Notes In Today's Episode Almost every autoimmune story I hear starts the same way. Something is wrong, the labs come back “normal” or the one abnormal result gets no comment, and you are sent home. Elena's ferritin was low and nobody mentioned it. Amber could not move her hands and was told to exercise. In this episode both of them tell the whole story. Elena describes what it was like to go from sluggish and cold to jittery and racing, the moment half her face went numb, and the Graves' antibodies that finally explained it. She talks honestly about thyroid eye disease, about not recognizing herself in the mirror, and about the friction that came when she wanted to taper methimazole and her team said no. Amber describes a year on hydroxychloroquine with migraines severe enough to send her home from work, flares that kept coming anyway, and the decision she made to walk away from her rheumatologist. She is clear that she does not recommend how she did it, and that finding a practitioner who could guide her was the turning point. Where both stories converge is the gut. Amber's methane was off the charts on her SIBO test. Elena's stool test came back with H. pylori, dysbiosis, and intestinal permeability after a virus and a parasite picked up abroad. In both cases, addressing what was actually in the gut changed the downstream picture in a way that supplements alone had not. We also talk about what does not come in a bottle. Yoga and mindfulness for Elena. Acupuncture and a less stressful work environment for both. The role chronic stress and trauma play in keeping the immune system switched on. And the reminder that this is a long game, not a thirty day fix. There is a push and pull in our culture between the natural camp and the drug camp, and people get hurt in the middle of it. If you are in thyroid storm, you need medication. If you are bleeding and dehydrated from IBD, you need help calming that down. Root cause work and conventional care are not opponents. The goal is using both well and we are ready to support you in that. Key Take Aways Autoimmune healing can be a layered process. Elena and Amber describe how addressing gut health, nutrition, infections, and other contributing factors became important parts of their journeys. Gut health may play an important role in autoimmunity. The conversation explores intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, SIBO, and how gut-related issues can intersect with inflammation and autoimmune symptoms. Lifestyle matters alongside clinical care. Yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, movement, stress management, sleep, nutrition, and relationships are discussed as important components of overall health. Advocating for yourself is an important part of the healthcare journey. Elena and Amber encourage patients to research, ask questions, and seek providers who will listen and work collaboratively with them. Functional and conventional medicine can work together. Melody emphasizes that functional medicine should not mean automatically rejecting medications or emergency care, but rather finding an appropriate balance between immediate medical treatment and longer-term health strategies. Topics Discussed 00:00 – Welcome to Table Talk Melody introduces functional medicine pharmacists Elena Genik and Amber Fish and today's conversation about autoimmune conditions. 02:33 – Elena's Graves' Disease Journey Elena shares how fatigue, thyroid symptoms, and an unexpectedly high heart rate eventually led to a Graves' disease diagnosis. 06:00 – Navigating Graves' Disease & Thyroid Eye Disease How Elena's treatment evolved, the challenges she experienced with medication, and the development of Thyroid Eye Disease. 09:02 – Amber's Rheumatoid Arthritis Story Amber shares her experience with severe joint pain, medications, migraines, and her search for options beyond conventional treatment. 12:46 – The Gut-Autoimmune Connection Why gut health, intestinal permeability, dysbiosis, infections, and inflammation become important areas to investigate in autoimmune conditions. 13:47 – Amber's Gut Health Transformation How testing revealed significant gut dysfunction and how addressing it coincided with major improvements in her pain and swelling. 16:20 – Elena's Gut Health Breakthrough After a virus, parasite, and major thyroid eye flare, Elena discovered H. pylori and dysbiosis and began addressing her gut health. 18:02 – Stress, Yoga, Mindfulness & Acupuncture The role chronic stress may play in autoimmune symptoms and how Elena and Amber incorporated yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, and other practices. 22:00 – Becoming Your Own Health Advocate Why both women believe patients should ask questions, research their conditions, and seek practitioners willing to work collaboratively with them. 25:50 – Nutrition & Identifying Food Triggers How elimination diets, food sensitivities, gluten, dairy, and individual food triggers can factor into an autoimmune health journey. 28:31 – Removing Triggers vs. Healing the Gut Why identifying problematic foods or infections may only be one piece of the puzzle and the importance of supporting gut recovery. 31:29 – Autoimmune Health Is an Ongoing Journey Amber and Elena discuss maintaining progress, navigating flares, and continuing to pay attention to nutrition, illness, stress, and lifestyle. 33:16 – Building a Lifestyle That Supports Healing The importance of nourishing food, movement, sleep, relationships, stress management, and sometimes making larger life changes to prioritize health. 35:21 – Final Advice for Autoimmune Patients Elena and Amber encourage listeners not to lose hope, to continue looking for answers, and to advocate for themselves. 36:06 – Finding the Middle Ground in Medicine Melody discusses combining conventional treatment when necessary with functional medicine strategies rather than viewing the two approaches as opposites. 37:32 – Closing & Resources Where listeners can connect with Elena, Amber, and the Pharm to Table team for functional medicine care and health coaching.

Avez-vous souvent mal au ventre sans vraiment comprendre pourquoi ? Ballonnements, diarrhée, constipation, intestin irritable… Vos examens sont-ils « normaux » alors que, vous, vous sentez bien que quelque chose ne va pas ? Et si votre ventre gardait aussi la trace de votre stress, de vos émotions, voire de certains traumatismes ? Comment sortir de cette spirale et réconcilier enfin son ventre et son cerveau ?Aujourd'hui, Anne Ghesquière reçoit le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter, hépato-gastro-entérologue, professeur des universités et membre de l'Académie nationale de médecine, auteur du Ventre en héritage, pourquoi j'ai mal (Éd. Flammarion - Versilio). Un livre nourri par ses recherches, mais aussi par des patients qui l'ont conduit à repenser sa manière de soigner et à explorer cette fascinante communication entre le cerveau et l'intestin. Car notre ventre n'est pas isolé : microbiote, hormones, système nerveux, histoire personnelle et traumatismes peuvent interagir et participer à nos symptômes.Cette conversation va vous permettre de mieux comprendre le syndrome de l'intestin irritable, mais aussi pourquoi il est parfois si difficile d'en sortir. SIBO, microbiote, stress, effet placebo et nocebo, nerf vague : le Pr Perlemuter décrypte les mécanismes qui peuvent entretenir la douleur et met en garde contre les fausses promesses qui nourrissent parfois l'errance médicale. Il partage aussi différentes pistes pour aller mieux : alimentation, prise en charge du stress et de l'anxiété, cohérence cardiaque, hypnose, TCC ou encore EMDR selon les situations. Si l'on vous a déjà dit « vous n'avez rien » ou « c'est dans votre tête » alors que votre ventre continue de vous faire souffrir, cet épisode pourrait vous aider à porter un autre regard sur vos symptômes et à comprendre pourquoi prendre soin de son ventre, c'est parfois aussi prendre soin de toute son histoire. Épisode #718Quelques citations du podcast avec le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter :"Votre intestin parle à votre cerveau, votre cerveau parle à votre intestin.""L'intestin irritable c'est comme un vase qui se remplit. (...) Et quand le vase déborde, vos symptômes apparaissent.""Des examens complémentaires sont faits pour confirmer une hypothèse diagnostique et pas l'inverse."À réécouter : #529 Jeûne intermittent : être en bonne santé#387 Pourquoi protéger son foie est la clé pour vivre longtempsRecevez chaque semaine l'inspirante newsletter Métamorphose par Anne GhesquièreDécouvrez Objectif Métamorphose, notre programme en 12 étapes pour partir à la rencontre de soi-même.Suivez nos RS : Insta, Facebook et TikTokAbonnez-vous sur Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Deezer / Castbox / YouTubeSoutenez Métamorphose en rejoignant la Tribu MétamorphoseThèmes abordés lors du podcast avec le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter :00:00Introduction01:25L'invité, le Pr Gabriel Perlemuter02:36Quand notre ventre hérite de notre histoire11:18Intestin irritable : comprendre enfin ce qui fait mal21:41Cerveau-intestin-microbiote : l'incroyable dialogue intérieur30:02Probiotiques, placebo, nocebo : démêler le vrai du faux40:15Apaiser le cerveau pour soulager le ventre51:11Alimentation : manger mieux sans tomber dans l'obsession01:00:18Rompre la chaîne et faire la paix avec son ventreAvant-propos et précautions à l'écoute du podcast Photo : Catherine Delahaye © Flammarion Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode, Tara answers your health questions straight from Instagram, covering everything from gastritis and SIBO to leaky gut, insulin resistance, thyroid issues, low ferritin and B12, and GLP-1 medications. She dives into why H. pylori should be properly ruled out with gastritis, why SIBO requires breath testing, the limitations of zonulin testing, and why low ferritin doesn't automatically mean iron deficiency. She also shares her thoughts on supporting insulin sensitivity through muscle, protein, fibre, stress management and lifestyle before reaching for supplements. The conversation also gets into thyroid health and Hashimoto's, the realities of aging, iron and B12 testing, and GLP-1 medications. It's a wide-ranging Q&A designed to help you look beyond symptoms and single test results and take a more thoughtful approach to your health. In this episode:  Chronic gastritis and the importance of ruling out H. pylori SIBO testing: why symptoms and stool tests aren't enough Leaky gut, intestinal permeability and the limitations of zonulin testing Insulin resistance and PCOS: supplements vs. foundational lifestyle strategies Building muscle, protein and fibre for metabolic health Thyroid health, Hashimoto's and the impact of stress and viral illness Why aging doesn't mean you have to suffer through symptoms Understanding low ferritin, iron deficiency and more comprehensive iron testing B12 testing, absorption and the gut connection GLP-1 medications, muscle preservation, digestion and side effects MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: EPS 130: Do not take oral / IV iron until you've listened to this.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're Invited to my upcoming Gut Masterclass! Cut gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, gone low FODMAP, and paid for expensive tests, yet still having bloating and poop problems? This is the simple fix nobody has told you about!   Here's what I'll be covering:  Why chasing trigger foods keeps you stuck in a harmful elimination cycle that makes your gut worse, and the shift that changes your relationship with food Why "I've done the testing and taken the supplements" has not given you answers or relief yet, and what to do instead  The missing layer to gut healing that moves you from the test-supplement-restrict cycle to a strategy that heals your gut for good [ SAVE YOUR SPOT HERE ]  

What if your gut healing protocol isn't failing, but you're just addressing the wrong things in the wrong order?In this episode of Empowered in Health, Erin sits down with Liz Roman, a functional health practitioner and wellness educator known as the "thepoopqueen" - to unpack the deeper connections between gut health, the immune system, the liver, hormones and metabolic health.Liz shares her own decades-long health journey, including childhood rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, chronic constipation, inflammation, weight struggles, and the functional medicine discoveries that changed how she approaches healing.Together, Erin and Liz explore why constantly adding supplements, restrictive diets, and eradication protocols may not address the bigger picture and why the body needs the right foundations and sequence for healing.You'll learn about:• The gut-immune connection and why immune regulation matters• Why “order of operations” can be critical in gut healing• The relationship between gut health, the liver, bile, and hormones• SIBO, leaky gut, food intolerance, and microbiome diversity• Why long-term food restriction may not be the goal• The importance of supporting digestion, stomach acid, elimination, and the gut lining• Why rebuilding and repopulating the microbiome matters after eradication• How lifestyle, stress, sleep, nutrition, and environment can influence healing• Why resilience and consistency matter more than chasing extreme protocolsThe conversation ultimately comes back to a powerful message: healing is a process and creating the right environment for your body matters.If you're navigating gut health issues, chronic symptoms, restrictive diets, or simply trying to understand what your body needs, this episode will give you a different framework for looking at the bigger picture.Watch the full episode on YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxcUBY7Xd30Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Exhausted with Hashimoto's even though your TSH is "normal"? Dr Anshul Gupta reveals the 5-step protocol he uses to uncover the real cause of Hashimoto's fatigue — because fatigue is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Learn how gut issues (H. pylori, SIBO, coeliac disease) block thyroid medication absorption, why mitochondrial energy production matters more than your thyroid labs, why "adrenal fatigue" isn't real medicine (but HPA-axis dysfunction is), which nutrient deficiencies (iron, B12, selenium, iodine) are commonly missed, and how environmental toxins like BPA and PFAS affect thyroid autoimmunity. If you've been told your labs are fine but still feel awful, this episode shows exactly where to look next.Timestamps:0:00 Intro – Why normal TSH doesn't mean you should feel exhausted2:30 Step 1: Fix the Gut – H. pylori, SIBO, coeliac & absorption7:00 Step 2: Rebuild the Mitochondria – CoQ10, creatine, OAT testing11:30 Step 3: Restore Stress & Cortisol – HPA-axis, adrenal fatigue myth15:30 Step 4: Correct Nutrient Deficiencies & Thyroid Cofactors20:30 Step 5: Reduce Environmental Burden – BPA, phthalates, PFAS, metals23:30 The Bigger Picture – Finding your personal bottleneck25:30 Final Thoughts & How to Work with Dr Gupta#Hashimotos #ThyroidHealth #HashimotosFatigue #FunctionalMedicine #ThyroidFatigue #AutoimmuneDisease #GutHealth #AdrenalFatigue #ThyroidHormone #ChronicFatigue #HypothyroidismRelief #HolisticHealth

Ever had something physically wrong but your doctor had no answers, and you felt lost, unsure of what to do or where to go? We hear this ALL THE TIME. And so many times, the origins of disease seem to be in the gut. The advice most people get about gut health is backwards: suppress symptoms, hope for the best, and never ask why your body is breaking down in the first place. Dr. Ben Schwartz, a naturopathic doctor and chiropractor at Benton Integrative where he uses root-cause medicine to help patients work through complex gut, autoimmune, metabolic, and hormone issues, joins us to explain why so many chronic issues - from GERD and bloating to autoimmune disease, SIBO, and mysterious “everything looks normal” symptoms - trace back to the gut, the nervous system, and the daily habits that quietly keep you sick. This conversation gets real about what happens when medicine treats the fire alarm instead of the fire. Holly shares her own years-long ordeal with silent reflux, panic attacks, chest pain, and a frustrating cycle of specialists who weren't talking to each other. Dr. Ben breaks down why that story is so common, why proton pump inhibitors can be a dangerous long-term crutch, and why leaky gut isn't just a buzzword - it's a breakdown in the barrier that protects your whole body.In this episode we cover...why gut health is often the starting point for chronic illnesshow leaky gut, dysbiosis, and SIBO actually work in plain Englishthe connection between the gut and autoimmune diseasehow stress, sleep, sunlight, movement, and food shape your biologywhy “quick fix” medicine often misses the root causehow to know whether you need testing, retesting, and a more individualized planDr. Ben also shares the visual, no-jargon explanation patients need to finally understand what's happening inside their bodies - and why repair takes time, not hacks. Amy, Holly, Kristen, and Amy's own experience as a patient all reinforce the same message: sustainable health comes from awareness, discipline, and a willingness to do the boring basics consistently.If you're tired of band-aid solutions, overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, or wondering whether your gut symptoms are connected to something bigger, this episode gives you hope and a practical starting point.

Today we are taking a closer look to what exactly is SIBO. This is something that I am personally going through so I wanted to break it down and explain what it is and how you can heal from it. If you are someone that is struggling with fatigue, bloating, constipation, skin issues.....take a listen! 

In this episode of The Turd Nerds, Dr. Ilana Gurevich and Dr. Rebecca Sand sit down with Dr. Allison Siebecker, one of the leading voices in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), to break down some of the most exciting new SIBO research presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW).From emerging treatments for intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) to new ways of making rifaximin more effective, Allison walks us through what may be coming next in SIBO treatment—and what clinicians can potentially use now. The conversation explores a new methane-targeting molecule designed to reduce methane production without killing methanogens, as well as research combining sustained-release N-acetylcysteine (NAC) with rifaximin to improve antibiotic delivery in the small intestine.We also dive into surprising new research examining the relationship between methane and body weight, including evidence suggesting a U-shaped relationship between methane levels and BMI, with higher methane levels seen in both underweight and obese populations.Finally, we take a closer look at new research on the elemental diet. Allison discusses impressive eradication rates for hydrogen SIBO, its effectiveness in methane-positive patients, and emerging evidence that elemental diets may reduce Candida while preserving beneficial small-intestinal commensal organisms.In this episode, we explore:• What's coming next for methane/IMO treatment• A new molecule that may suppress methane production without antibiotics• Why sustained-release NAC may make rifaximin more effective• Whether rifaximin doses could eventually be reduced• The surprising connection between methane and BMI• Why clinical observations sometimes precede published research• New data on elemental diets for SIBO and IBS• Elemental diets, Candida, and the small-intestinal microbiome• When an elemental diet may be worth considering clinicallyWhether you're a clinician treating SIBO every day or someone struggling with recurrent SIBO or IMO, this episode offers a fascinating look at where SIBO research—and treatment—may be headed next.Music provided by Blue Dot.

Do you have clients who react to everything? What if their symptoms, scattered as they seem, share one cause?

In this episode, Tina welcomes back integrative medicine practitioner Curtis Gillespie Sayers for an honest, nuanced conversation about why fat loss can feel so difficult, even when you feel like you're doing everything “right.” Drawing from Tina's own experience with ulcerative colitis, chronic stress, and the process of learning to pay attention to her nervous system, they explore metabolic resistance, perimenopause, gut health, GLP-1 medications, keto days, carbohydrate timing, and popular peptides including MOTS-C and NAD+. Here's what you'll learn: - How your nervous system may influence the severity of your perimenopause symptoms and earlier menopause - The surprising connection between stress, detoxification, and stubborn belly fat - Why stress can wreak havoc on digestion, bloating, and SIBO symptoms - Why combining GLPs can produce better results - How strategically using keto days may support metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity - The relationship between insulin and cortisol that so many women overlook - How backloading your calories and carbs could change the way you sleep - How nutritional manipulation on a GLP-1 may help when weight loss seems to stall - What's potentially problematic about NAD+ and MOTS-c and why you might not be the candidate you think you are - Why stool testing can provide important clues when weight loss resistance doesn't make sense Substack: https://carrotsncake.substack.com/p/im-46-here-are-9-things-i-wish-i STACKED: GLP-1 + Peptide Support Membership https://www.skool.com/stacked-glp-1-peptides-8761/about Apply for coaching: https://forms.gle/JT74yhBgxQZRQvgZA https://Elliemd.com/Carrotsncake Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

Send us Fan MailIf you've spent thousands of dollars on SIBO testing, antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, supplements, restrictive diets, and practitioner visits but still aren't getting lasting relief, the problem may not be that you haven't tried hard enough. After more than a decade working with difficult SIBO cases, I've seen how easily digestive care can become fragmented: one test, one protocol, one diet, one supplement, without a larger strategy connecting them. In this episode, we're looking at what can be missing when SIBO treatment provides only temporary improvement, why treatment sequencing matters, and why a positive SIBO test doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the next step.We'll explore:Why repeatedly adding treatments isn't necessarily the answer. How your SIBO type can influence the treatment approach. Why the timing and sequencing of treatment matter. What your previous treatment history can reveal about what may have been missed. Why addressing root contributors matters when you're trying to reduce recurrence.What needs to happen beyond simply clearing an overgrowth. Why rebuilding the gut and expanding your diet can be an important part of the bigger picture. What to ask before spending money on another SIBO test, supplement, or protocol. Resources mentioned:1.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with Dr. Heather Finley, Registered Dietitian, gut health expert, and founder of gutTogether™, to unpack the powerful connection between gut health, nutrition, mindset, and overall well-being.Dr. Heather shares her deeply personal journey from growing up with chronic GI issues and severe food fears to earning her doctorate in clinical nutrition and discovering a more individualized approach to gut health. She explains how years of restrictive eating, stress, overtraining, and an imbalanced gut microbiome affected her health—and how overcoming those challenges ultimately became the foundation for her mission to help others.Mike "C-Roc" and Dr. Heather dive into why one-size-fits-all approaches to gut health often fall short, the importance of identifying underlying issues instead of simply treating symptoms, and how the gut-brain connection, stress, sleep, diet, and microbiome all work together. They also discuss SIBO, food variety, fiber, protein, gut bacteria, and why constantly eliminating foods may sometimes make the problem worse.Dr. Heather also opens up about overcoming fear and self-doubt, transitioning from a clinical career into entrepreneurship, and building a successful seven-figure business. Today, through gutTogether™, she helps people find relief from complex GI issues, while her gutPractitioner mentorship supports dietitians and health professionals in becoming more confident in treating challenging gut health cases.This conversation is a powerful reminder that you can't always solve a health problem by simply working harder or cutting more things out—you have to understand the person and the root causes behind the symptoms.Website- www.guttogetherprogram.com www.drheatherfinley.co https://www.instagram.com/drheatherfinley/?hl=en

Ask almost anyone how Ozempic works and you'll hear the same answer: it slows your stomach down. Dr. Ken Brown says that's the magician's waving hand.In this solo episode, the board-certified gastroenterologist walks through the research showing that roughly 99% of GLP-1 weight loss happens in three regions of the brain - and that the gut accounts for less than 1%. Which means the nausea, bloating, and heartburn people white-knuckle through aren't the thing making them lose weight.He maps the actual mechanism: the hypothalamus, where a misfiring hunger neuron acts like a broken fuel light telling you the tank is empty when it's full. The mesolimbic system, where dopamine explains why you find room for a Crumbl cookie after a full dinner - and why fMRI scans of that reward circuit go dark once someone starts a GLP-1. And the brainstem's area postrema, the ancient poison-detection system these drugs quietly hijack to produce fullness and nausea.Then the part he sees in clinic every week: why the pylorus tightens, why the migrating motor complex stalls, why the fundus stretches, and how that combination pools acid at the top of the stomach and pushes it into the esophagus. Plus the trial data showing most stomachs return to normal emptying by around 16 weeks, why a PPI often doesn't fix GLP-1 heartburn, and what he does instead for patients ready to quit a medication their gut can't tolerate.In this episode:- Why "it slows your stomach" is a misdirection- Your body's own GLP-1, and why these drugs act like an Amber Alert instead- The three brain regions doing 99% of the work- The broken fuel light: AgRP, POMC, and lifelong hunger- Dopamine, the dessert tray, and why this isn't willpower- The fMRI studies that made it visible- What the drugs actually do to the stomach — and the bathtub with the plug in it- Tachyphylaxis: why it improves around 16 weeks- Long-term GLP-1 use and SIBO risk- How to keep the weight loss without the gut miseryChapters: 0:00 The misdirection · 3:21 How your own GLP-1 works · 4:38 Three brain regions · 9:35 The broken fuel light · 11:08 Why you find room for the cookie · 13:11 The fMRI studies · 15:01 What happens in the stomach · 17:21 The bathtub analogy · 19:56 The trials nobody talks about · 21:31 Why 16 weeks matters · 23:29 SIBO and long-term use · 23:58 You don't have to suffer · 30:10 Bringing it togetherEducational content only - not medical advice.

This episode features Stephanie Peacock in conversation with Elizabeth Aylor Fitness, who shares her own long, hard-earned path through eczema, asthma, OCD, severe bloating, parasites, SIBO, mold exposure, and mast cell activation. The discussion centers on why gut issues keep relapsing, why motility and nervous system regulation matter so much, and how a root-cause approach can create real recovery.In this episode, Stephanie and Elizabeth cover the overlap between SIBO, histamine intolerance, thyroid dysfunction, mold toxicity, and hormone imbalance. Elizabeth also explains why she avoids overusing kill protocols, elimination diets, and trendy supplements, and instead starts with restoration, food reintroduction, and individualized testing.About our guest:Elizabeth Aylor is a Holistic Nutritionist & Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) who utilizes advanced functional testing to uncover hidden dysfunction within the gut, immune system, hormones, detoxification pathways, and metabolism, allowing clients to address root causes rather than simply manage symptoms.Her passion comes from personal experience. At 22, I found myself struggling with severe depression, chronic digestive dysfunction, H. pylori, candida, multiple gut pathogens, food sensitivities, and an eating disorder. After years of searching for answers, I immersed myself in functional nutrition and root-cause medicine, ultimately rebuilding my health from the inside out.Timestamps:00:00 - Welcome and setting up the conversation06:15 - Elizabeth's background and why she says she has “an answer for everything”09:35 - Childhood eczema, asthma, OCD, antidepressants, and early weight gain10:48 - Vegetarian to vegan to raw vegan and 80 10 1012:06 - Severe bloating, constipation, parasites, H. pylori, and SIBO14:58 - Creating her own 90 day restoration protocol15:28 - Rebuilding health, body composition, and her business16:20 - Mold exposure, histamine reactions, and thyroid dysfunction return18:26 - Working with over 3,000 women with chronic illness19:35 - Why SIBO keeps getting brushed aside20:23 - Biggest causes of SIBO and what keeps people stuck21:39 - Why breath tests and self-diagnosis miss the bigger picture23:09 - Why motility and restoration come before kill protocols24:49 - Why supplements like HCL, probiotics, fiber, and green powders can backfire25:40 - Stephanie summarizes the restoration-first approach26:10 - How dysbiosis affects detox pathways and the liver27:09 - Nervous system regulation as a core piece of healing28:14 - Root causes beyond SIBO, including thyroid, food poisoning, and stress29:18 - Hormones, Dutch testing, and perimenopause31:18 - Mold, histamine, and environmental exposure32:48 - Migrating motor complex and why frequent snacking can worsen symptoms34:16 - How Elizabeth starts restoration with motility, nutrition, and lifestyle35:45 - Three bowel movements in three days for a no-gallbladder client36:52 - Strategic supplement use and why less is more38:14 - Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome39:45 - The histamine bucket explanation41:12 - Conditions that mimic SIBO and add to dysbiosis43:31 - What not to buy and what tests to avoid44:26 - Best practitioner qualities and test selection45:44 - Why lived experience matters in a practitioner49:17 - Elimination diets and when they backfire52:43 - Nervous system tools like acupuncture, EMDR, breathwork, and daily wins53:56 - Peptides, GLP 1s, and why root cause still comes first57:39 - Final encouragement and where to find ElizabethLinks:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethaylorfitness/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.elizabethaylorfitness.com/ Stephanie's links:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drstephpeacockInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstephpeacock/Website: https://stephaniepeacock.com/Substack: https://substack.com/@holistichubcommunityRetreat in November: https://www.vitalresetretreat.com/

Stephanie Gambetta flew out to North Carolina and sat down with Taylor and me for what ended up being one of the most honest conversations I have had about the peptide space.Stephanie runs Loop Health and has probably worked with more perimenopausal and menopausal women on peptides and GLPs than anyone in the country. She has the boots on the ground data that most people in this space do not have access to.We cover the biggest mistakes people are making right now, why women in their 40s and 50s are being thrown on GLPs before their hormones are even checked, the Adderall connection that nobody talks about, peptides in college culture and what parents need to know, the wild west of the research peptide industry, TFA versus acetate salt and why almost nobody selling peptides knows what that means, the SIBO and GLP connection, and where all of this is heading.Taylor jumps in throughout and this one covers a lot of ground.⚠️ For research and entertainment purposes only. ⚠️

Blowing four times the legal limit on a breathalyzer usually means one thing, but in 2015, a judge dismissed a DWI because the driver's own gut was fermenting alcohol from an ordinary carb-heavy dinner. It's called auto-brewery syndrome, and the fuel it runs on is the same load your muscle is supposed to be clearing from your blood.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:How gut yeast overgrowth turns everyday carbs like pasta, bread, and rice into ethanol that registers as real intoxication, brain fog, dizziness, and allThe specific risk factors that open the door: dysbiosis, SIFO, repeated antibiotic use, and poorly controlled diabetes or fatty liverThe three-part protocol to correct it, reduce the yeast burden, remove the carbohydrate fuel, and rebuild the microbiome, plus the carbohydrate challenge test, most doctors never runWhy skeletal muscle is your body's primary site for clearing blood sugar, and how an under-muscled body drifts into the same insulin-resistant, dysbiotic state that lets fermentation take holdWhether or not you'll ever face this rare diagnosis, you'll walk away understanding that gut health and muscle health share one supply chain and that defending your muscle is how you starve the problem at its root.Study & References:Woman beats DWI — her body brews alcohol (CBS News, 2015): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/woman-beats-dwi-with-rare-defense-her-body-brews-alcohol/Cordell & McCarthy (2013), Int.

You have been doing the work. The therapy, the somatic practices, the self-care. And your body still will not come online. You have also been doing the gut protocol. Months of it. And the exhaustion has not lifted. Here is what almost nobody tells you. The thyroid governs gut motility. When it runs low and slow, the bloating and the constipation you have been treating from the gut end may have been downstream of the thyroid the whole time. So you can do everything right, in the right order, and still be working the wrong end of the problem. This is Part 2 with Dr. Amie Hornaman, known as the Thyroid Fixer. She was misdiagnosed six different times in her twenties before anyone found it. In this episode she gets practical about selenium, about which system to start with, and about why she thinks adrenal fatigue is overdiagnosed. She also gives a number for how long before your energy and stress resilience actually shift, with the caveat that belongs beside it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Which to treat first when your gut and thyroid are both struggling How a slow thyroid produces constipation, bloating and SIBO The foundational nutrients she starts everyone on, and why selenium leads Why one morning cortisol reading cannot tell you what you think it does How long before energy, mood and stress resilience begin to move The full show notes have the research behind the SIBO connection, every quote from the episode, the chapter list, and the optimal lab ranges to ask about.

Angela Pifer joins the show to discuss SIBO, digestive dysfunction, the gut-brain connection, and why lasting gut health requires looking beyond symptoms to uncover the underlying drivers. Together, we explore how stress, nervous system dysregulation, infections, diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors can influence digestion and why a personalized, root-cause approach is essential for breaking the cycle of recurring gut issues.We dive into:SIBO symptoms and why bacterial overgrowth is often a downstream issueWhy identifying root causes matters before jumping into treatmentThe role of stomach acid, digestive function, and nutrient deficiencies in gut healthStress, trauma, the vagus nerve, and the gut-brain connectionWhy repeated rounds of antibiotics may not resolve recurring digestive symptomsIBS, leaky gut, and the importance of looking at the bigger clinical pictureRestrictive diets, food reintroduction, and rebuilding tolerance to foods like beans and FODMAPsHow slowing down, chewing thoroughly, and eating in a relaxed state can support digestionCircadian rhythm, sleep, movement, muscle mass, and other foundations of long-term healthSocial connection, creativity, and joy as overlooked components of overall wellnessAlcohol's impact on the gut, inflammation, sleep, and the body's ability to process toxinsWhy simplifying treatment and addressing upstream drivers can lead to more sustainable gut health

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.

You've probably heard that gut health matters, but did you know your gut problems might not show up as digestive symptoms at all? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Ruscio to uncover the hidden connections between your gut and your overall health. Dr. Ruscio is a clinical researcher and bestselling author of "Healthy Gut, Healthy You." He's spent years cutting through the dogma in both conventional and alternative medicine to find what actually works. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he speaks at integrative medical conferences around the world. Today, we dive deep into why common gut tests might be misleading, how to figure out what diet actually works for YOUR body, and the practical steps you can take starting today to heal your gut. This episode was initially released in September 2018 In this podcast, Dr. Ruscio and I discuss: How gut problems can manifest as non-digestive symptoms like joint pain, insomnia, and anxiety Why most gut tests are not clinically validated and what to do instead The truth about gluten sensitivity Why listening to your body is more powerful than relying on test results The difference between SIBO and other forms of gut dysbiosis and what the science actually shows How to determine if a Paleo diet or low FODMAP diet is right for your unique gut His theory on the three categories of probiotics and why one type might work when others don't How the gut-brain connection affects your mood, energy, and mental clarity Why restrictive diets often fail and how to expand your diet while staying healthy The step-by-step algorithm Dr. Ruscio uses to help patients heal their guts naturally  

Hey, Heal Squad! After hearing Jennifer Esposito's powerful celiac journey, we wanted to leave those who have gone gluten-free with a hopeful take on rethinking your relationship with carbs. That's why we're throwing it back to our conversation with bestselling author and gluten-free chef Phoebe Lapine. After being diagnosed with Hashimoto's and struggling with SIBO, Phoebe thought eliminating carbs altogether was the healthiest path forward. But through years of trial, error, and healing, she discovered something surprising: if you don't have celiac disease or a medical need to avoid gluten completely, healthy carbohydrates can absolutely have a place on your plate. In this episode, Phoebe explains why the goal isn't to fear bread or eliminate carbs, but to understand which carbohydrates best support your body. She shares how "slow carbs" can help stabilize energy, support gut health, and reduce the all-or-nothing mindset that diet culture has created around food. If you've ever wondered whether you really need to avoid gluten forever, or you're looking for a more balanced approach to healthy eating, this conversation is full of practical, empowering takeaways.

Fix Leaky Gut, Boost Testosterone & Slash Endotoxins with Spore-Based Probiotics | Kiran KrishnanYour bad gut bacteria might be the reason your testosterone, your immune system, and even your sperm count are struggling, and most probiotics never survive long enough to fix it. This episode reveals which strains actually make it through your stomach acid alive, and what happens once they do. Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription. Host Dave Asprey sits down with research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, co-founder of Microbiome Labs, the leading microbiome therapeutics brand among healthcare professionals. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies, holds global patents, and has spent 20 years building companies focused on the science of the microbiome. His work centers on spore-based probiotics, the rare strains proven to survive the stomach's brutal acidity and actually rebuild the gut from the inside out. Kiran and Dave break down why 98 percent of conventional probiotics die before they ever reach your gut, and why spore-forming bacteria are different. They dig into the "gelding effect," the well-documented pathway where endotoxins from bad gut bacteria shut down testosterone production and drive up cortisol, and how fixing your microbiome can reverse it. They cover the connection between endotoxemia and nearly every major marker of aging, metabolism, and inflammation, why butyrate acts like a natural GLP-1 for fat loss, how Akkermansia can upregulate mitochondria and improve blood sugar control, and the surprising role vitamin K2 plays in bone density and functional medicine. This is biohacking at the cellular level, using ancient biology, fasting-adjacent metabolic pathways, and precision supplementation to optimize human performance from the gut up. You'll Learn: Why 98 percent of probiotics die in your stomach before they ever work What the "gelding effect" is and how gut bacteria can shut down testosterone How endotoxins drive inflammation, cortisol, and accelerated aging Why butyrate functions like a natural, low-cost alternative to GLP-1 drugs How Akkermansia improves mitochondrial function and blood sugar control The overlooked link between your microbiome and vitamin K2 production Why spore-based probiotics can survive gastric acid when most others cannot How 90 days of gut repair can measurably reduce circulating endotoxins Keywords: best probiotics that survive stomach acid, spore based probiotics benefits, gelding effect testosterone, endotoxins and testosterone, how to lower endotoxins, LPS gut bacteria, Akkermansia GLP-1 natural, gut bacteria and belly fat, vitamin K2 bone density, Kiran Krishnan microbiologist, Just Thrive probiotic, leaky gut symptoms, microbiome and testosterone, fecal transplant benefits, Dave Asprey, biohacking, longevity Resources: • Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription • Learn More About All Of Just Thrive's Offerings At: https://justthrivehealth.com/ • Get My 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/dave15? • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) • Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com • Dave Asprey's New Book – Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated • Join My Substack (Live Access To Podcast Recordings): https://substack.daveasprey.com/ • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com Thank you to our sponsors! - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.
