Sorry my captions are not working!! But I still wanted to share this pearl! Antimicrobials are not always needed to rebalance the microbiome. I would argue that many times they are not needed.

You can manipulate the microbiome with probiotics and prebiotics. You can even manipulate the microbiome solely by focusing on breakdowns in digestion and motility.

And if antimicrobials have not been helpful. More is not the answer. Some people just don’t respond to aggressive clearing (and it’s a considerable amount of my clients)

I would love to hear you experience! Please share 👇

Sweet Cecilia! I can’t believe you will be 6 months old in just a few days! Best part of my 2022 for sure was meeting you and being your mom. ❤️

SIBO is not a root cause. As discussed the latest

SIBO is not a root cause. As discussed the latest IBS freedom podcast episode--you have to assess what factors made you susceptible to root causes (antecedent root causes), what factors triggered your symptoms (root cause triggers) and also what factors may keep you stuck (mediating root causes). ⁠
⁠
We dive into this framework in the episode so be sure to check it out where ever you listen to your podcasts! ⁠
⁠
What are your biggest root causes!? ⁠

Welcome to my Ted talk!!! Malnutrition is a side e

Welcome to my Ted talk!!! Malnutrition is a side effect of restrictive eating. Functional medicine providers seem to be egregious at promoting diets that lead to malnutrition.

And you can’t get better from gut issues if you aren’t nourished! It’s probably the number one issue holding many of my clients back. Many have tried lots of great strategies but have missed the mark nutrition wise leading to little gains.

I really just want the functional medicine space to do better! Send patients to dietitians if you can’t properly assess their patients diets OR ensure that they are getting enough nutrition! And for god sakes stop scaring people to death about food.

Trust me—it’s way scarier in the long run to become deficient in many nutrients then to potentially eat a food that makes you bloat.

I would love to hear your experiences working with providers! I’m sure there are still some great functional providers out there but I just see so many promoting dietary patterns that lead to malnutrition

I posted about external red flags yesterday, but we also discussed internal red flags that you could be thinking/doing that can hold you back on your SIBO/IBS journey. Please check out part 2 of our Red Flag episode of the IBS Freedom Podcast. ⁠
⁠
If you find yourself checking these boxes, you are not alone. Lots of my clients come to me doing these things. ⁠
⁠
But, I find when you engage in these habits it can really keep you stuck and prevent you from moving forward. I know because I checked off most of these during my journey and they kept me stalled. ⁠
⁠
For more discussion around these! Check out the podcast episode where ever you listen to your podcasts ⁠

Red Flags are flying all around you in the SIBO/IB

Red Flags are flying all around you in the SIBO/IBS space but you may not even realize it. Providers and loved ones may be well intentioned, but I would be on the look out for these red flags as they could hold you back from SIBO/IBS recovery. ⁠
⁠
We covered both external red flags (from others) and internal red flags on the IBS freedom podcast in the past few weeks. You don't want to miss a more in depth conversation about these red flags. You can listen where ever you listen to your podcasts. ⁠
⁠
I unfortunately see the fall out from these errors in my practice as so many of my clients have been led down the wrong path before they come to work with me. ⁠
⁠
There are great providers and great support systems out there but if you are experiencing these along your journey--I would try to change up your support. Because there are tons of great providers out there who will not lead you down some of these paths! ⁠

Food fears can lead to so much anxiety. It can be

Food fears can lead to so much anxiety. It can be so scary to add foods back in. What if you react to foods??

But, what if you don’t? You will never know until you try! Unfortunately, the brain needs you to take action and eat foods in order to let it’s guard down again.

If you are scared or anxious—that is ok and to be expected. But don’t let that fear keep you from moving forward. I’m working with my clients—it’s getting outside of your comfort zone that will yield progress!!

Start small but keep pushing yourself! Introing foods will get better over time.
