A low FODMAP diet is an extremely effective gut-healing tool. In fact, it's been studied for use in healing a wide range of conditions like IBS, IBD, fibromyalgia, anxiety, leaky gut, and more. 

But what exactly is it, what makes it so powerful, and how can you tap into its powers for yourself?   

Today we'll take a brief look at the data to illustrate the reparative ability of the low FODMAP diet, and then I'll give you guidelines for how you can do a low FODMAP diet on your own.

Gluten enzymes promise to better help digest gluten for both celiac and non-celiac gluten-sensitive populations. 

Fortunately, gluten enzymes have been studied for both celiac disease and NCGS. 

But what does the data actually say about their effectiveness? Join me to hear more about the research into gluten digestive enzymes, and what other options are available to help relieve gluten sensitivity.

Depending on where you send your stool sample, you can end up with different stool test results. 

What this means is that your treatment plan could look very different depending on the stool test you use. This also means that a stool test may not be the best way to actually start healing your gut. 

Instead of spending time and money on (potentially inaccurate) stool tests, I’ll tell you 4 things you can do that will make a difference for your gut health.

Cordila's mold exposure story might sound familiar—she suddenly hit a wall of symptoms like nausea, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and more, and reached the end of her rope trying to find a solution.

Join me to hear more about SIBO and how you can help improve it with a simple, research-backed protocol.

In this episode, I debunk the myth that probiotics are harmful. 

Recently, some thought leaders have been suggesting that lactobacillus probiotics should be avoided in those with SIBO. 

But the problem with this take is the research that was favored versus the data that was dismissed... 

Tune in to hear more.

In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response. 

When the immune response is heightened, there’s a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue. 

This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.
