In this episode of Root Cause Report, I’m breaking down H. pylori - a common stomach bacteria that can interfere with stomach acid and disrupt digestion. In this episode we cover: • Key symptoms that may point toward H. pylori • How it interferes with stomach acid and digestion • Why low stomach acid can lead to bloating, gas, and feeling constantly “puffy” • The connection between H. pylori and stubborn acne • Where H. pylori comes from and when it becomes problematic • Why proper testing matters before trying to treat it Also in this episode: • Weekend recap: reformer Pilates, going back blonder, and trying Dovetail Pizza 🍕 • Healthy Habit of the Week: a protein powder I’m loving that tastes like strawberry milk If you deal with bloating after meals, reflux, low appetite, or acne alongside digestive issues, this episode will help you start thinking about the root cause - NOT JUST THE SYMPTOMS!

Why You Bloat After Everything You Eat (Even ‘Healthy’ Food)

You eat “clean.” You meal prep. You order the salad. And yet you’re STILL bloated. In this episode, I’m breaking down why you bloat after everything you eat, even broccoli, sweet potatoes, and protein shakes, and why this is not a food problem… it’s a gut imbalance problem. We’re talking: * SIBO + bacterial overgrowth * Low stomach acid + poor breakdown * Constipation + slow motility * Estrogen dominance + detox dysfunction * Why elimination diets aren’t fixing it * Why food sensitivity testing usually isn’t the answer If you’ve been told it’s “just IBS” or feel like your body hates food, this one is for you. Because when everything bloats you, that tells me something very specific - and we’re diving into it. Click here to schedule a consult with me for FREE.

Being Told ‘It’s Just IBS’ Is Not a Treatment Plan

If you’ve ever been told “it’s just IBS” and then sent on your way with no real answers..... THIS episode is for you. IBS is not a treatment plan. It’s a label. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down: * Why so many women are diagnosed with IBS but never given a real plan * How the medical system is designed to rule out disease not investigate dysfunction * Why low FODMAP and elimination diets often don’t solve the real issue * What IBS actually means (and what it doesn’t tell you) * How functional testing like the GI-MAP can uncover the true root causes of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and gut dysfunction I also share my personal experience of being told I had IBS with ZERO next steps and why that moment completely shifted how I approach gut health today. If you’re tired of managing symptoms and ready for real answers, this episode will change the way you think about your gut. As always, episode chapters are below if you’d like to skip to a specific section!
