Have you ever wondered why your bloating, gut issues, or “SIBO flare-ups” keep coming back no matter how many protocols you try? This episode will change the way you think about SIBO—and your gut—forever.

In this episode of The Vital Spirit Podcast, I’m breaking down why SIBO isn’t actually the root problem and why real, lasting healing starts with restoring your body’s terrain, rhythms, and nervous system—not just killing bacteria. After 13 years of treating complex gut-brain cases, I’ve seen the same patterns over and over, and I’m sharing the full inside look at why SIBO keeps returning for so many women in midlife.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of bloating, constipation or diarrhea, food fear, or failed protocols, this conversation will help you finally understand what your gut has been trying to tell you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • 01:03 Understanding SIBO from a totally different perspective
  • 02:33 Why nervous system regulation is the missing link in stubborn gut cases
  • 04:30 What SIBO actually is and how it shows up in the body
  • 07:49 The most common symptoms (and why they don’t always match your test results)
  • 13:34 The real root causes behind SIBO and why bacteria aren’t the enemy
  • 18:57 The 5R Framework I use to treat SIBO and rebuild the gut
  • 29:04 A powerful patient story that shows how healing actually unfolds
