There's nothing quite as comforting as being gaslit by your doctor when they say that the symptoms all over your body are not connected to your gut. Of course they are - your doctor just doesn't understand it.

This episode is going to help you understand how and why the symptoms you're experiencing all over (skin, headaches, allergies, depression/anxiety, hormone issues, etc.) are NOT just in your head.

Your doctor lied. They may not have meant to, but they did. Bowel diseases like Crohn's, Colitis, Diverticulitis, and IBS, are not at all what you've been told.

They say it's genetic, autoimmune, random (no known cause) or the only options are medic...

I do believe that we will see a true cure in the coming years.

  • Remission vs curing
  • What causes bowel disease (just 3 things)

SIBO, Parasites and Candida are some of the biggest drivers in Crohn's and Colitis, but your doctor may never test for them. Even if they do, their answer is usually antibiotics, which doesn't fix the problem or answer the question "how did they gut in my gut in the first place?"
