Ep. 78: Root Causes of SIBO that Often Go Missed

In this episode, we’re diving into the real reason your SIBO keeps coming back, and why antibiotics and restrictive diets alone aren’t fixing the problem.

I’m breaking down the root causes most practitioners overlook, including nervous system dysregulation, low stomach acid, thyroid dysfunction, mineral deficiencies, and hidden infections like H. pylori. You’ll learn why SIBO is a secondary condition, and what actually needs to be addressed if you want lasting relief.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of temporary fixes, food fear, and recurring symptoms, this episode will help you understand what your body actually needs to heal, and how to finally break free from the SIBO loop.
