A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

Losing weight on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro but feeling bloated, constipated, and miserable? There's a reason, and a new Mayo Clinic study finally proves it.76% of patients on GLP-1s tested positive for SIBO. 91% had methane overgrowth. Dr. Kenneth Brown breaks down why these drugs turn your small intestine into a swamp, why your microbiome decides if the drug even works, and the exact protocol to fix it without quitting the medication.If you're on a GLP-1 or thinking about it, watch this first.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist-turned-gut detective and bestselling author behind Wheat Belly, Super Gut, and Super Body. In this episode, Dr. Davis breaks down what it really means to have youthful, functional muscle, why maintaining the muscle of your 20s and 30s is about so much more than hitting the gym, and how missing microbes—like L. reuteri—might be the secret to restoring your strength and energy.

What if your gut symptoms aren't SIBO—and aren't improving despite treatment?In this episode, we explore a common clinical scenario: patients with bloating, gas, and digestive issues that look like SIBO but don't respond to standard therapies. We take a deeper look at mold exposure, mast cell activation, and histamine as overlooked drivers of chronic gut symptoms. Dr. Crane Holmes joins us to break down how mold can impact the gastrointestinal system, why symptoms often extend beyond the gut, and how to recognize when something more complex is going on.In this episode, we discuss:When to suspect something beyond SIBOHow mold exposure can drive gut inflammation and symptomsThe connection between mold, mast cells, and histamineWhy patients may have multi-system symptoms (brain fog, fatigue, sinus issues)The role of environmental testing (ERMI) vs lab testingPractical approaches to treatment, including binders, detox support, and reducing exposure

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

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the overlooked pieces of successful SIBO recovery: making sure the digestive system is actually moving before starting SIBO treatment.Because when bowel movements are incomplete, sluggish, or backed up, the body has a much harder time clearing fermentation byproducts, gas, and bacterial die-off compounds, which can make treatment feel unbearable.Inside this episode, we discuss:Why constipation is about more than “not going enough”The connection between methane gas and slowed motilityWhy many people feel awful during antibiotics or herbal protocolsThe relationship between constipation, toxin recirculation, and die-off symptomsWhy “eat more fiber” often backfires in IBS-C and methane SIBOWhy giant salads, fiber supplements, and roughage can worsen fermentationGentle strategies that often work better for methane-dominant casesWhy nervous system regulation plays a major role in digestion and motilityThe mistake of pushing through severe die-off symptomsSupportive strategies for bowel movements and downstream clearanceFree resources:Download Alyssa's IBS Constipation Diet Guide with gentle meal ideas, a list of foods to avoid, practical IBS-C-friendly strategies, and sample meals for bloating and constipation supportWatch Alyssa's FREE Masterclass: “Why Your Gut Still Isn't Better — The Real Reason You Feel Stuck” Book your free 15-minute strategy call, and we'll look at your symptom history, what you've already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like. Learn more about Nutrition Resolution's Signature Healthy Gut Restoration Program — a personalized, root-cause approach to addressing bloating, constipation, and underlying digestive imbalances.DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa's Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources tailored to your symptoms.Follow Alyssa on: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest  -Looking for a supportive Gut Health community?

This episode dives deep into the relationship between food poisoning, gut motility, microbiome dysfunction, chronic bloating, inflammation, and recurring digestive symptoms. Lindsey explains why many people continue struggling with SIBO despite repeated rounds of treatment and discusses the importance of identifying root causes rather than simply managing symptoms. Josh and Lindsey also explore advanced testing options such as the IBS Smart Test, stool microbiome testing, and breath testing while discussing overlooked contributors including mold exposure, low stomach acid, pancreatic insufficiency, adhesions, hypothyroidism, and immune dysfunction. One of the most fascinating parts of the episode centers around fasting and the ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet. Lindsey shares her experience of seeing autoimmune markers associated with post-infectious IBS normalize after implementing fasting protocols, opening an important discussion about immune regulation and gut healing. Whether you're dealing with IBS, SIBO, chronic bloating, microbiome imbalances, inflammation, or unresolved digestive symptoms, this episode provides a powerful root-cause perspective on what may be driving your gut issues and what steps you can take toward lasting recovery.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Post-Infectious IBS & Autoimmune Mechanisms SIBO Root Causes & Recurrence Food Poisoning as a Trigger for Chronic Gut Disease Testing (IBS Smart, Stool Testing, Breath Testing) Mold Toxicity & Hidden Drivers of Gut Symptoms Treatment Approaches (Prokinetics, Antimicrobials, Elemental Diet) Broader Chronic Disease & Food Supply Discussion Other SIBO Root Causes (Adhesions, Thyroid, Pancreatic Issues)   More from Lindsey Parsons: Website: highdeserthealthcoaching.com Instagram: high.desert.health Facebook: High Desert Health Youtube: @highdeserthealth X: @HDesertHealth Listen to Lindsey's Podcast: The Perfect Stool Podcast Get Lindsey's Products: perfectstool.com   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Are you struggling with chronic symptoms that you can't explain or get rid of, and nothing you've tried has worked? Do you have symptoms all over your body, from rashes to diarrhea to headaches, fatigue, and tinnitus, but no diet, doctor, or supplement you've tried has helped? Do you have a history of estrogen dominance, hypothyroidism, candida, SIBO, IBS, or toxic mold exposure - but even when trying to address these issues, you don't feel better? If so, this episode is for you. On today's episode, I'm diving into salicylate sensitivity. Salicylate sensitivity, or salicylate intolerance as called by some, is an issue that someone can develop for a variety of reasons, but is increasingly common in the chronically ill population. And, unfortunately, it is often overlooked or forgotten about by both conventional and holistic practitioners. That's why, in today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about salicylate sensitivity. I'll be going over:Salicylate sensitivity symptomsHow to test for salicylate sensitivityWhat salicylates are What foods and medications are high in salicylatesCauses of salicylate sensitivity And a natural treatment pathway to reverse your salicylate sensitivity Salicylate sensitivity is real, but it doesn't have to be a permanent sensitivity. And today, I'm going to show you exactly how to find and address your root causes of salicylate sensitivity.

Less than 25% of people with IBS get real relief from conventional medicine. That number tells you everything about how the current approach is failing.Most people with IBS have been told it is stress, told to take medication, and sent home. But irritable bowel syndrome is not one condition, it is a label applied to a cluster of symptoms that can have 20 to 40 completely different root causes. And left unaddressed, it is one of the most reliable predictors of autoimmune disease down the line.In this episode I sit down with Dr. Izabella Wentz, clinical pharmacist, functional medicine expert, and NYT bestselling author known as the Thyroid Pharmacist.

#319 Last week I saw a patient who had been on a low FODMAP diet for 12 years. Self-prescribed. No reintroduction. No professional guidance. His story is far more common than most people realise — and it's exactly why I recorded this episode. Low FODMAP, keto, and carnivore diets all have legitimate therapeutic applications. But when they're self-prescribed, followed indefinitely, and used without ever investigating the underlying cause of symptoms, they can cause their own harm — quietly, progressively, and in ways that are very difficult to reverse. In this episode, I'm drawing on my extensive experience working with constipation and gut health to talk specifically about what these diets do to your bowel — the microbiome changes, the impact on butyrate and serotonin production, the loss of mechanical stimulation, and why constipation is one of the most commonly reported and least discussed consequences of long-term dietary restriction. I also cover the conditions — including SIBO, where a low FODMAP approach may be appropriate for longer than the standard timeframe, and why even in those cases, reintroduction is always the goal. If you feel better on a restricted diet but can't seem to reintroduce foods without your symptoms returning, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do about it. In this episode: What Monash University actually says about how long the low FODMAP diet should be followed Why prolonged FODMAP restriction affects Bifidobacteria, butyrate production, and bowel function What the research shows about the ketogenic diet, microbiome diversity, fibre intake, and constipation The latest evidence on the carnivore diet — including a 2026 cross-sectional study and 2025 scoping review Why symptom relief on a restricted diet is the beginning of the investigation, not the end of it A clear path forward for anyone stuck in a cycle of restriction with no resolution in sight Resources mentioned: Get Things Moving — Evidence-based guide to overcoming constipation:  Book a consultation BetterMe Tea Lynda Griparic is a degree-qualified naturopath and certified Healthy Gut Practitioner with extensive experience in constipation, SIBO, and gut microbiome health.

Welcome to a two-part series on hair loss. Hair loss is often a sign that something in the body is out of balance, whether it's a nutritional deficiency, hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, chronic stress, or toxic exposure. Hair restoration is all about identifying the root cause and then optimizing your health from the inside out. Today, in Part 1, I explain why hair loss happens and how to test for it. I also clarify what a personalized treatment plan should look like and introduce the TED treatment (Trans Epidermal Delivery), which has shown remarkable results at our clinic. In Part 2, Jason Carpenter, a TED device expert from Alma Lasers with over 25 years of experience in the aesthetic industry, joins me to explore the science and clinical data, highlight who would be a good candidate, and explain the results you can expect. So, if you or someone you know is experiencing thinning hair, this series will offer you hope by providing clear answers and offering practical direction.

Send us Fan MailFive years post J-pouch surgery sounds like a finish line, but our bodies do not read the brochure. We're together in person for a live catch-up with our favorite recurring guest and IBD Registered Dietitian, Stacey Collins, and we get real about what changes with time and what still blindsides you when you live with a J-Pouch after IBD.We talk through the wins that matter most day to day: more capacity, less urgency, and the quiet joy of doing normal things without panic, like waiting in line, taking long road trips, hiking, skiing, and traveling. Then we dig into the stuff patients whisper about but rarely get warned about, especially gas pain. We break down what it feels like, why it can block emptying, what actually helps (yes, including “toilet yoga”), and why travel, altitude, fasting, dehydration, carbonation, and food additives can make symptoms spike.We also cover the scary gray zones: when symptoms feel like a Crohn's flare but turn out to be SIBO, why antibiotics may be part of J-pouch life, and how to rebuild the gut microbiome afterward with food you can tolerate. Finally, we get blunt about the “surgery is curative” myth, the need for ongoing monitoring (iron deficiency anemia, B12, folate, fatigue), and what better post-op care should look like, including pelvic floor physical therapy and honest expectations at 3, 6, and 12 months.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

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

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever felt better temporarily after antibiotics, herbals, or restrictive diets only to have symptoms slowly return again, this episode explains why that happens and what's often being missed underneath the surface.Rather than viewing SIBO as simply “bad bacteria coming back,” Alyssa walks through the larger gut environment that allows overgrowth to happen in the first place — including motility issues, digestion problems, nervous system dysregulation, constipation, microbiome depletion, and impaired gut defenses.You'll learn:Why recurring SIBO is usually not just one single “root cause”The difference between treating bacterial overgrowth vs restoring gut functionHow the small intestine normally regulates bacterial balanceWhy impaired motility and the migrating motor complex matter so muchThe role of stomach acid, bile flow, digestive enzymes, and gut immunityWhy symptom relief does not always mean the gut environment has recoveredThe hidden reasons SIBO keeps relapsing after treatmentWhy restrictive diets alone rarely create lasting recoveryHow chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect digestionWhat needs to improve to make long-term progress possibleFree resources:Download Alyssa's FREE SIBO Diet Recipe Collection for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dessert ideas that support gut healing without unnecessary restriction. Watch Alyssa's FREE Masterclass: “Why Your Gut Still Isn't Better — The Real Reason You Feel Stuck” Book your free 15-minute strategy call, and we'll look at your symptom history, what you've already tried, and whether working together makes sense, along with what that would look like. Learn more about Nutrition Resolution's Signature Healthy Gut Restoration Program — a personalized, root-cause approach to addressing bloating, constipation, and underlying digestive imbalances.DM “GUT CHECK” on Alyssa's Instagram for a personalized quiz and free meal plans & resources tailored to your symptoms.Find Alyssa on: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest  -Looking for a supportive Gut Health community?

What if your "normal" thyroid labs aren't telling the full story? In this eye-opening episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with renowned integrative pharmacist and thyroid expert Dr. Izabella Wentz to uncover the powerful connection between gut health, IBS, autoimmune disease, and thyroid dysfunction — especially Hashimoto's. Dr. Wentz shares her deeply personal journey from debilitating IBS, anxiety, fatigue, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis to healing through root-cause medicine. Together, Dr. Anna and Dr. Wentz explore why so many women are told their thyroid labs are "normal" while they continue struggling with weight gain, brain fog, bloating, constipation, inflammation, hormonal shifts, and exhaustion.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky discusses an important reality many people with hyperthyroidism and Graves' disease eventually face: doing everything “right” with diet and lifestyle, yet still not experiencing complete healing. Dr. Eric explains why foundational practices like following an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing stress, improving sleep, and taking nutritional supplements are essential—but often only part of the solution.He dives into the deeper root causes commonly overlooked in conventional and even natural approaches to thyroid healing. Topics include gut infections such as H. pylori, parasites, SIBO, and candida overgrowth, along with environmental toxins and toxicants like mold, microplastics, glyphosate, and heavy metals. Dr. Eric also explores the importance of vagus nerve support, nervous system regulation, oral health, and reducing toxic burden through cleaner living environments and healthier daily habits.Throughout the episode, Dr. Eric emphasizes the importance of functional medicine testing and individualized care while also discussing common mistakes people make during their healing journey—such as relying solely on diet, avoiding testing altogether, or jumping from protocol to protocol. If you feel stuck despite making major lifestyle changes, this episode will help you better understand what may be missing and what steps to consider next in your healing journey.

Could nitazoxanide be one of the most overlooked tools for supporting the body against parasites, bacterial overgrowth, SIBO, and viral infections? In this episode, Bryana Burken, pharmacist and physician liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how nitazoxanide works, why it is considered a repurposed drug, and how it may support the body's immune response. Bryana discusses the history of nitazoxanide, its original use as an antiparasitic, and its broader modern applications. She explains how nitazoxanide works by interfering with the metabolism of harmful microbes while supporting immune balance and helping to reduce an overactive inflammatory response. This episode highlights the importance of targeted treatment, especially when addressing complex gut and immune-related issues. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, nitazoxanide may offer a temporary or cycled option for individuals dealing with difficult and/or recurring infections.

The Gut-Brain Connection. Dr. Scott Faulkner guest-hosts this Health and Wellness Wednesday on Rush To Reason and dives headfirst into one of the fastest-growing frontiers in medicine: the microbiome. Joined by Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and microbiome expert Jenny Olson, the hour explores how gut health may influence nearly everything from immune strength and brain function to inflammation, energy, mood, and chronic disease. Why are so many people struggling with bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, and food sensitivities while being told their labs are “normal”? The conversation uncovers the dangers of overusing antibiotics, processed foods, excess sugar, and broad-spectrum treatments that may quietly damage the gut ecosystem for months or even years. Jenny Olson explains leaky gut, SIBO, dysbiosis, and the gut-brain connection in understandable, practical terms. The hour also highlights advanced stool testing, spore-based probiotics, regenerative medicine, and new therapies being added at Castle Rock Regenerative Healthcare. Hour one provides simple, practical tips for supporting your gut health, making it easy to start taking action today. HOUR 2 The 12-Step Microbiome Reset That Could Change Everything. Hour 2 takes listeners deeper into the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, microbiome science, and biologic age reversal. Dr. Scott, Jeremy, and Nathan explore a provocative idea: what if many surgeries, chronic conditions, and “normal aging” symptoms could be delayed, reduced, or even avoided by rebuilding the body from the inside out? Nathan shares how regenerative orthopedics is changing the conversation around joint pain, spine injuries, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. The discussion then pivots into an ambitious 12-week microbiome reset designed to detoxify the body, repair gut integrity, restore mitochondrial function, and rebuild healthy bacterial ecosystems. From fasting and autophagy to advanced genomic stool testing, targeted probiotics, fermented foods, methylation pathways, and mitochondrial support, the hour connects seemingly unrelated symptoms like anxiety, obesity, fibromyalgia, brain fog, depression, hormone imbalance, and chronic pain back to microbiome dysfunction. HOUR 3 Optimizing the Whole Person, Not Just Treating Symptoms. Hour 3 brings together everything Dr. Scott Faulkner, Jeremy Sova, Nathan Lehman, and Jenny Olson introduced throughout the day. What begins as a recap of the microbiome “12-step reset” quickly expands into a much larger conversation about the future of medicine itself. The team explains how testing, fasting, detoxification, mitochondrial support, synbiotics, stress reduction, and lifestyle optimization can work together to rebuild the body's internal ecosystem rather than simply masking symptoms. But the hour goes beyond gut health alone. Nathan shares how regenerative medicine may help patients avoid surgery through therapies such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, StemWave, and other treatments and detox protocols. The team also unveils ambitious new concierge-style health memberships designed around biological age reversal, advanced cancer screening, microbiome testing, longevity therapies, and full-body optimization. Throughout the discussion, one central theme keeps emerging: healthcare may be entering a new era in which the goal is no longer just treating disease but extending healthspan.

The team explains how testing, fasting, detoxification, mitochondrial support, synbiotics, stress reduction, and lifestyle optimization can work together to rebuild the body's internal ecosystem rather than simply masking symptoms. But the hour goes beyond gut health alone. Nathan shares how regenerative medicine may help patients avoid surgery through therapies such as stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, StemWave, and other treatments and detox protocols. The team also unveils ambitious new concierge-style health memberships designed around biological age reversal, advanced cancer screening, microbiome testing, longevity therapies, and full-body optimization. Throughout the discussion, one central theme keeps emerging: healthcare may be entering a new era in which the goal is no longer just treating disease but extending healthspan.

Jared starts this new series, Herbal Secrets, by diving into one of natural health's most overlooked tools: neem. Often known for its topical use, neem is far more than a simple antimicrobial—it's what Jared calls a “terrain shifter,” helping support balance in the skin and gut microbiome rather than simply eliminating microbes. You'll learn how neem may help maintain healthy microbial balance, support normal inflammatory responses, and assist the body's natural detoxification processes. Jared breaks down topical vs. internal uses, including applications for skin health, oral care, and gut support, along with practical strategies for combining neem with enzymes and probiotics. If you're dealing with persistent imbalances or looking to support whole-body resilience, this episode offers a fresh perspective on restoring balance from the inside out. Products:TheraNeem Cleansing BarTheraNeem CreamTheraNeem Leaf & Aloe GelTheraNeem OilNOW Tea Tree OilSolaray Neem Leaf CapsulesPure Essence CandexCellCore Biotoxin BinderSolaray Charcoal CapsulesFood Movement Black Earth Zeolite Humic Fulvic MineralsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAdditional Information:#616: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Foundations of Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 1#617: Microbiome Balance from Mouth to Gut: Protocols for Clearing and Rebuilding with Biocidin – Part 2Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

And I went to a few different doctors and tried different herbs and supplements and nothing seemed to be helping. getting on the path of a specialist and seeing you... I felt a sense of hope and confidence return just right from the beginning.'I am going to report back to Jessie and Brooke that I tracked the Himalayas and I had zero flare-ups, zero fear,' and that actually came to be.”Struggling with IBS-D, diarrhea, or SIBO symptoms that won't go away?In this episode of the IBS Nutrition Podcast, dietitian Jessie Wong is joined by Ian, a former client who went from severe IBS-D symptoms and rapid weight loss to full gut recovery and symptom-free travel in the Himalayas for a multi-day retreat with no gut symptoms at all.Ian shares how chronic stress triggered his gut issues, how SIBO impacted his digestion, and why supplements and probiotics actually made things worse before he found the right approach.You'll hear how he used a structured plan including collaborating medical treatment between providers, the low FODMAP diet, and guided food reintroduction to stabilize his symptoms, rebuild his gut health, and regain confidence in eating and traveling.This episode is especially helpful if you are dealing with IBS diarrhea, SIBO, bloating, or feel stuck trying to “fix your gut” on your own.In this episode, we cover:IBS-D symptoms and why diarrhea can become severeHow SIBO develops and why probiotics can sometimes worsen symptomsWhen antibiotics for SIBO are necessary and effectiveHow the low FODMAP diet helps calm a sensitive gutWhy food reintroduction and portion size matter more than restrictionThe role of stress and the gut-brain connection in IBSHow Ian rebuilt his gut health and traveled internationally without flare-upsTimestamps:00:00 – Introduction03:35 – When IBS-D and SIBO symptoms started07:45 – Rapid weight loss and worsening diarrhea10:25 – Why probiotics made symptoms worse12:18 – Getting the right diagnosis (IBS-D + SIBO)14:05 – Starting the low FODMAP diet16:39 – Food reintroduction and portion awareness20:03 – Treating SIBO with antibiotics22:46 – Second flare-up and diverticulitis25:55 – Reintroducing fiber safely26:56 – Traveling without IBS symptoms31:40 – How diet variety improved gut health35:22 – Mindful eating and the gut-brain connectionIf you feel like you've tried everything and your IBS symptoms aren't improving, this episode will help you understand what Get our help:

Most women with low AMH and high FSH get one of two answers about their iron: "it's fine," or "it's low, here's a supplement." Both leave the real problem untouched. Failed transfers, failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, irregular cycles, exhaustion that won't lift, and nobody asking why the iron is low in the first place. This episode shows you what the full iron panel actually reveals. In this episode, Sarah Clark sits down with Fab Fertile clinical advisor Katy Bradbury (registered nurse and nutritional therapist) to break down the iron panel every woman trying to conceive should be looking at. Not just the one number your doctor checked, but the full picture. They get into why the standard iron prescription is one of the worst forms you can take, why high dose iron can actually make things worse, and why symptoms you've been told are unrelated (brittle nails, cold hands, hair loss, ice cravings, exhaustion) could all be pointing at the same thing. What you'll learn: The full iron panel every woman trying to conceive should request, and what the numbers actually mean Why being told "your iron is fine" off one number is missing the picture The link between low iron and failed transfers, miscarriage, irregular periods, and pregnancy complications Why low iron is so common with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, and POI The thyroid and iron connection most doctors miss, especially with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism Hidden reasons your iron is low even when you're eating well: gut infections, H. pylori, SIBO, low stomach acid, celiac, heavy periods Why the standard iron prescription often makes you constipated, nauseous, and no better off What to take instead, and why every other day often works better than every day Iron rich foods that actually move the needle, plus the foods and drinks blocking your absorption without you knowing The thyroid medication timing rule nobody tells you about This conversation is for women navigating low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI who have been told their iron is fine without anyone running the full panel. It's also for women who have been on iron supplements for years without anyone asking why the iron got low to begin with, and for anyone who has had a failed transfer, a miscarriage, or a failed IVF cycle and is trying to figure out what was missed.

#317 I'm a degree-qualified naturopath with over 20 years of clinical experience, with a primary focus on complex gut health conditions — and in this video, I'm doing something I've never done before. I'm turning the lens on myself. I recently got my own gut microbiome tested, and I want to walk you through every single result. I didn't get tested because I had gut symptoms — my bowels are actually moving beautifully. I got tested because I'd been dealing with over a year of persistent rosacea and wanted to know: could what's happening in my gut be connected to what's showing up on my skin? I also wanted to show you exactly what this test looks like when it's interpreted by someone who does this for a living. We cover every section of the report — the pathogen panel, the diagnostic GI markers, microbiome diversity and richness, short-chain fatty acids, TMA, emerging metabolites, the species table, and more. I also share the result that was flagged as severely abnormal — and why, in context, it almost certainly isn't. This is what it looks like to use real data to motivate real change — not because something has gone terribly wrong, but because catching the trajectory early is the whole point. What we cover What makes shotgun metagenomics different from other stool tests The targeted pathogen panel — what it tests for and what my results showed Pancreatic elastase — the result that flagged severely low, and why context changes everything Lactoferrin, calprotectin, zonulin, secretory IgA, and faecal occult blood Microbial diversity and richness — what we're aiming for and why it matters Butyrate, acetate, propionate, and TMA — what they mean and how diet influences them Prevotella copri — nuanced, misunderstood, and more common in traditional diets than you'd think Emerging markers, including GABA, and why we need to hold them lightly Human DNA elevation — and why collection context explains it My action steps and why seeing this data now motivates me to act I'm Lynda Griparic, a degree-qualified naturopath with extensive experience in complex gut health conditions, including SIBO, IMO, and chronic constipation.

Why do so many women with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism still feel exhausted, bloated, anxious, and foggy even when their labs look “normal” on thyroid medication? How do leaky gut, SIBO, H. pylori, parasites, chronic stress, and even gluten connect to thyroid inflammation and autoimmune flares? In this week's Thyroid Thursday episode, I lay out what I see every week in my practice: women doing “everything right,” taking their meds, eating right, exercising regularly, and still feeling awful. Many of them are still experiencing hair loss, stubborn weight changes, constipation and/or diarrhea, food sensitivities, anxiety, depression, and fatigue that sleep just doesn't help. They're told they're fine, yet their symptoms keep piling up, and they end up stuck between multiple specialists who never connect the dots. I explain what “leaky gut” actually means, why ongoing gut inflammation doesn't just stay in the gut, and how it can contribute to autoimmune flares like Hashimoto's. We talk about common drivers I see behind a compromised gut lining, like overgrowths and infections, chronic stress and low vagal tone, gluten's immune impact and molecular mimicry, nutrient depletion, and environmental exposures like mold.If you suspect leaky gut might be linked to your thyroid issues, or you have a lot of the symptoms mentioned in the episode, I leave you with some practical tips for getting tested, information on why we test and don't guess, and changes we can make after getting tested that will really move the needle on your health journey.Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

What if all the “random” symptoms you've been dealing with… aren't random at all? In this episode, we unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of stubborn weight gain, hormone issues, and chronic inflammation: immune dysfunction. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you despite eating well, exercising, and doing everything “right”, this conversation will start connecting the dots. Because the truth is, your metabolism doesn't operate in isolation. It's deeply influenced by your gut, hormones, thyroid, nervous system, and especially your immune system. We walk through why so many women are given multiple diagnoses like Hashimoto's, IBS, or SIBO and told to treat them as separate issues, when in reality they may all stem from the same underlying pattern. When your immune system is constantly activated, your body shifts into survival mode, making fat loss, digestion, and hormone balance significantly harder. You'll also learn how chronic stress, whether from under-eating, overtraining, poor sleep, or emotional pressure, can keep your immune system stuck in overdrive. This isn't about “just reducing stress,” it's about understanding what's actually happening inside your body when it perceives threat. We also break down why quick fixes like medications or supplements often fall short when the root cause isn't addressed. While tools like Ozempic or antibiotics can have their place, they're not a substitute for true healing. Finally, we share the framework we use at Vital Spark Coaching to help women move from dysfunction to real results starting with foundations, then restoring the body, and only then focusing on fat loss and performance. The most important takeaway? Your body isn't broken. It's adapting. And when you understand what it's responding to, everything starts to change.   Time Stamps:   (1:47) Coming Back From Mexico   (6:17) An Overactive Immune System   (14:22) Resetting The System   (22:57) When Our Clients Start Flourishing   (24:32) Applying For Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

How Therapists Can Help Clients With IBS, Chronic Nausea, and Gut-Brain Disorders: An Interview with Dr. Ali Navidi, PsyD Curt and Katie talk with Dr. Ali Navidi, PsyD about disorders of gut-brain interaction, including IBS, chronic nausea, and other GI conditions that therapists may see more often than they realize. They explore how the gut-brain axis works, which clients may be more likely to struggle with these concerns, how therapists can stay within scope, and why specialized behavioral health treatment can directly improve symptoms rather than only helping clients cope with them. About Our GuestDr. Ali Navidi, PsyD is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, a national telehealth practice specializing in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and chronic pain. In addition to providing patient care, Dr. Navidi oversees clinical training and outreach initiatives at the practice. He has presented on GI disorders and chronic pain to organizations across the country, including the American College of Gastroenterology, UNC School of Medicine, George Mason University, Georgetown University (Grand Rounds), INOVA, as well as through podcasts, television appearances, and multiple State Academies of Nutrition and Dietetics. Key Takeaways Therapists are in a strong position to notice GI issues, especially in clients with anxiety, trauma histories, autism, or eating disorders. Disorders of gut-brain interaction are not just “in someone's head.” The pain and symptoms are real, even when there is no visible structural problem. Therapists should encourage appropriate medical evaluation and collaborate with gastroenterologists rather than trying to diagnose IBS or other GI disorders on their own. Specialized CBT and clinical hypnosis can directly treat gut-brain disorders, not just the anxiety that surrounds them. Dr. Navidi, PsyD describes a treatment model focused on hypervigilance, catastrophizing, and visceral hypersensitivity. When diet questions come up, therapists should be cautious and refer to GI-focused dietitians when appropriate. Therapists should also be careful about overconfident claims related to the microbiome, SIBO, and other popular gut-health conversations.

Is red light therapy real- or just hype? More and more people are questioning whether it actually does anything, or if it's just another wellness trend that will quietly fade away over the next 18 months.

How to use red light therapy more effectively Focus on consistency over quick wins as results build gradually with repeated sessions  Choose clinically validated devices rather than low-powered consumer versions  Expose as much skin as possible to allow the light to reach the targeted tissues  Use proper eye protection for every session  Be upfront about your current medications and health history to allow proper screening 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.
