Ep 66: The Most Overlooked Causes of Chronic Digestive Issues

In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the most overlooked root causes of chronic gut and digestive issues — the ones that conventional testing often misses.

Because here's the truth, it's not just about the food you're eating. It's about your ability to actually digest and process that food. We're diving into the real reasons your symptoms keep coming back, and why focusing only on elimination diets and symptom management is keeping you stuck.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why an IBS diagnosis doesn't actually explain your symptoms
• The difference between symptom management vs. root cause healing
• Why food sensitivities are often a result, not the problem
• How digestion works as a system (north → south)
• Why removing more foods is NOT the solution
• The connection between gut health, hormones, skin, energy & thyroid health
• Why your labs can look "normal" while your gut is not
• The biggest breakdowns in digestive function that lead to bloating, gas & constipation
