SIBO Made Simple

The podcast is back for a very special two-part bonus episode series dedicated to the subject of carbs and IBS. Which also just so happens to be the subject of my new cookbook! On the last episode, I explained the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. We also discussed how our blood sugar is very much dependent on the health of our gut. In today's episode, I'm going to tell you how to put all this information into practice in your daily life. These are some of the best tips from my new book CARBIVORE about how to incorporate carbs into your diet without having them cause so much chaos in the body. If you've been missing carbs and want to figure out how to bring them back to your table or have been dealing with blood sugar instability, this episode is for you. Resources, mentions and notes!

Unless you're new around here, you might have noticed it's been a while since our last episode. In fact, you may have thought you'd never hear from me again. But NO! I'm popping back into your podcast feed with a very important year of SIBO in review: an update on all the things that have happened in the world of IBS research since we hung up our mics after the end of the 4th and final season of the podcast. I am so thrilled to have a return guest, the king of SIBO himself, Dr. Mark Pimentel. If you're been down the SIBO rabbit hole for a while now, Dr. Pimentel likely needs no introduction. He's the director of The Pimentel Lab at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where he researches many pieces of the puzzle related to IBS, gastrointestinal motility and bacterial overgrowths. He's published dozens of studies on these subjects, and it's fair to say that much of the data-backed information we've covered throughout the 4 seasons of this podcast, has been discovered through Dr. Pimentel's work. He was last on the show almost 2 years ago in February 2020, and in that interview he promised that there would be many exciting developments for those with Post-Infectious IBS, Methane overgrowths, and Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO. So today we're going to hear a little status update. Resources, mentions and notes: The SIBO Made Simple Book – ON SHELVES NOW!!

As the podcast comes to close, I wanted to leave you SIBO Amigos with some of my hardest earned lessons from the trenches. It has been an utter pleasure producing this podcast and getting to interview some of the most prolific practitioners in the SIBO space. The process of writing the book, in many ways, was a process of distilling their wisdom into super practical takeaways and to-do's. So the entire manuscript is kind of one big extension of the SIBO Amigo Digest. But I still managed to simplify even further and come up with 10 rules of thumb for each step of the SIBO journey: investigation, treatment, diet and cooking. In today's episode we will talk about my biggest pieces of advice for the first two legs, including how to tackle root causes, interpret SIBO tests, and how to deal with your mindset throughout treatment. It's a short and sweet one with yours truly that will help you step away from the minutiae and focus on the big picture goals of healing.

It's made by simmering organic ingredients for 16 hours with humanely raised poultry and hand-trimmed tops of leeks and scallions. You won't find any flavoring agents that may add taste without FODMAPs, but can exacerbate other health issues. Even more exciting, Gourmend Foods is constantly working on new products to solve for some of the biggest IBS pantry cooking issues. They recently introduced a garlic scape and garlic chive powder that can help you keep those incredible aromatics in your cooking without the FODMAP content.

This is part two of my SIBO success stories series, and the conversations with today's guests cover so many overlapping conditions. In case you missed the last episode: the majority of questions I get asked via email and Instagram are about my personal experience with healing SIBO, and even though I remind these sufferers again and again that every person's body is different, I understand how refreshing and important getting all the nitty gritty details can be. Which is why I decided to do not one, but TWO episodes dedicated to women who have overcome their IBS. My first guest is Bethany Ugarte who is the prolific instagrammer behind lilsipper, and author of the new book Digest This, a beautiful cookbook that features all the recipes she used to heal her gut. Bethany's story is extreme and ultra-inspiring. She was once so underweight it hurt to sit in a chair. We talk about how she got back on her feet, literally, and what it took to manage her yeast overgrowth and gastroparesis. My second guest in the lovely Alison Marras, who is a nutritional therapist and recipe creator behind the site Food By Mars. Alison is a fellow member of the HashiPosse and really went through the ringer with methane SIBO and hair loss.

Lyme is known in medical circles as the great imitator, meaning it can affect many different areas of the body and present as countless other conditions. Some challenges in testing have also made it both underdiagnosed and a controversial diagnosis. And yet the bacteria in various tick borne illness can be an underlying cause for many people who struggle with mysterious gut symptoms and chronic overlapping health problems. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Tom Messinger to parse out how these bacteria differ from one another, how they behave in the body, and why they can lead to other co-infections like SIBO, mold toxicity, and mast cell activation syndrome. A quick taste of what we'll cover: • The barriers to diagnosing lyme and the most thorough testing • Why tick borne illnesses become more severe over time • Strategies for treatment beyond antibiotics, but also how you can support your gut while taking conventional medications • Babesiosis, Alpha Gal syndrome, and other permutations of tick-borne illnesses • How to combat neurological damage from lyme • Why these conditions overlap with SIBO and which to treat first • And so much more… Resources, mentions and notes: The SIBO Made Simple Book – Available to Pre-Order!

The vast majority of women (and many men) have gone through periods of disordered eating, whether that means crash dieting, emotional binging, calorie counting, over-exercising or a full-blown eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia. And yet, so rarely do physicians take into consideration their patients complicated relationship with food before prescribing a restrictive medical diet like those recommended as an adjunct to SIBO treatment. In today's episode, we are taking on the tricky topic of where IBS and eating disorders overlap. Joining me is registered dietician, certified intuitive eating counselor, and host of the uber-popular Food Psych podcast, Christy Harrison. We talk about the very real physical ramifications that disordered eating can have on the gut and why the binge-restrict cycle can be a risk factor for SIBO. More importantly, we discuss the mental pitfalls around certain food groups perpetuated by wellness culture and further amplified by various elimination diets. If you've felt unsure about whether a low FODMAP diet or food modifications are necessary to cure your SIBO, this episode offers an incredibly important perspective on why these diets should be approached with caution. Christy also offers some strategies for how to take one on without falling prey to obsession and food fear. A quick taste of what we'll cover: What the current medical criteria is for disordered eating or an eating disorder (hint: you probably have fallen into this category at some point in your life) How doctors can screen patients properly before recommending a restrictive diet Why gut issues often heal when the disordered eating is addressed first How untreated SIBO symptoms can lead to an eating disorder Data-backed alternatives to the low FODMAP diet that are equally effective at reducing those symptoms Ways to treat SIBO without igniting disordered eating How to approach meals without food fear, even if you have SIBO And so much more… Resources, mentions and notes: The SIBO Made Simple Book – Available to Pre-Order!

People in general--and certainly people who listen to this podcast--have come to understand that we are completely colonized by bacteria. We have a grasp on where it lives, how it helps us. But viruses are much more abstract. Covid-19 has laid bare how little we still know about our interactions with viruses, what role our gut plays in the process, and whether there is a reciprocal relationship between plague and host. What is less mysterious for those who study the global virome is how a modern pandemic starts and what we can do to avoid them in the future. Joining me to discuss where we stand today in our understanding of viruses is Dr. Dennis Carroll, who heads the Global Virome Project, an international partnership that builds systems to detect future viral threats while they are still circulating in wildlife. He has over 30 years of leadership experience in global health and development, and until recently, served as the Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) Emerging Threats Division. A quick taste of what we'll cover: Why the way we interact with certain ecosystems creates virus hot spots Whether pandemics are going to become the new normal What has changed within our world that is making outbreaks more frequent Why raising livestock increases the risk of future pandemics How climate change factors into things What we can do as a global community to change our behavior and prevent future outbreaks And so much more…!

We talk a lot about intestines on this podcast, duh. But today's episode is all about the stomach. We've been taught over the years through plenty of TV ads for pep-themed pills that stomach acid is something that needs to be constantly beaten back in order to avoid reflux. In today's conversation, we investigate the other side of the coin: why a decrease in stomach acid across the global population is not only causing GERD and other symptoms, but bigger conditions like SIBO downstream. Joining me to discuss the stomach's role in the digestive process and what substances are at play is Dr. Daniel Nuzum, a doctor of naturopathic medicine in Meridian, Idaho. It is a masterclass on how alkaline and acidic environments take shape in various sections of the digestive tracks and what we need to do through diet and lifestyle to maintain proper PH. A quick taste of what we'll cover: The biggest contributors to low stomach acid Why acid reflux should really be called alkaline reflux How to compensate for low acid through diet pylori and why it can take hold in the stomach, plus natural remedies for getting rid of overgrowths Why stomach ulcers form as a protective measure The role of Proton Pump Inhibitors for suppressing stomach acid and why they aren't necessary The best enzyme supplements to heal the stomach and get your digestive juices flowing The art of food combining and why it is such a boon to your stomach And so much more!

There is so much that modern medicine has taught us about why gut imbalances like SIBO can take hold (just see episode 36 for some of the recent research). But we often overlook some of the ancient wisdom that has been making sense of these conditions for centuries. Since many of you have been requesting more episodes on general dysbiosis and gut health, I thought this would be the perfect time to discuss the Ayurvedic approach to digestive distress. Today, Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary is joining us to share the philosophy of Ayurveda and discuss some of the modalities like discovering your dosha, sound healing, oil pulling, eating according to our circadian cycle, and so many more. She is the author of The Prime and Sound Medicine and as a neuroscientist has participated in over twenty clinical research studies in the areas of multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This episode includes so much wisdom that could benefit anyone who has tried a million different tests, diets and supplements but can't seem to find a path that works for them. It also ties together many holistic lessons we've discussed over the course of 4 seasons. A quick taste of what we'll cover: What makes the Ayurvedic approach different from western medicine The three doshas and how imbalances present themselves, including through weight loss and gain The biggest physical indications of gut issues that work better than bloodwork and stool tests for uncovering your underlying microbiome issues A guide to evacuation, including what your poop tells you about your absorption Ayurvedic dietary philosophy and why raw salad is kryptonite for those with weak digestion Trafala and other supplements to aid in everyday digestive support that are great tools to add to your SIBO medicine cabinet How to properly detox in stages, plus tools like digestive tea, oil pulling, and oil-based enemas The mind-gut connection and how sound healing can rewire your nervous system And so much more!

It's the season 3 finale Q&A episode! And I have a dream guest here with me to answer all your lingering SIBO queries: the king of SIBO himself, Dr. Mark Pimentel. If you've already been down the SIBO rabbit hole, Dr. Pimentel likely needs no introduction. He's the director of The Pimentel Lab at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where he researches many pieces of the IBS puzzle, including gastrointestinal motility and bacterial overgrowths. He's published dozens of studies on these subjects, and it's fair to say that much of the data-backed information we've covered in the first 3 seasons of this podcast, has been discovered through Dr. Pimentel's work. There were a few recurring macro themes to your questions, so in today's episode, we're going to focus on Post-Infectious IBS, Methane overgrowth, and Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO. If you don't hear your question, don't stress—there's a big possibility I've covered it in a past episode already. Those who are new here might want to backtrack and listen to season 1, where we cover a lot of SIBO 101 topics related to the aftermath of a diagnosis. The podcast will be on hiatus until the fall while I focus on putting the finishing touches on the SIBO Made Simple book (!!). In the meantime, stay in touch via instagram (I'm @phoebelapine) and by subscribing to my newsletter.

When it comes to nutritional science, there are so many complicated variables to sort through in determining whether or not an ingredient is good for your health. One that doesn't get talked about enough? How it's cooked. In today's episode, we're heading into the kitchen with one of the most renowned chefs in the world, David Bouley. Over the last decade, chef Bouley has made it his mission to marry his classical French training with nutritional wisdom from ancient cultures. To do so, he's traveled the world to learn more about how Blue Zones—areas with the largest populations of centenarians—source, prepare and eat certain ingredients. During our conversation, chef Bouley shares how we can apply some of these learnings at home by stocking our cabinets, fridge, and spice rack with the highest quality items—a concept he refers to as building a living pantry. We talk about the power of fermentation, the role of certain prebiotic ingredients, and which often overlooked items can become digestive gold when prepared properly. If you're a food nerd in addition to a health nerd (like me), you're going to love this conversation. And even if you're not, hopefully chef Bouley's ideas will open your mind to a whole new world of possibility in the kitchen as you heal your gut after SIBO. A quick taste of what we'll cover: How traditional Japanese techniques has influenced our cooking in the West Preparations that make certain hard to digest ingredients like cabbage and rice more bioavailable and easy on the gut Building blocks that chef Bouley swears by and what's on his spice rack The importance of researching where your food comes from Why healthy fats matter and which ones to stock your kitchen with And so much more...

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome only got an official diagnosis code a few years ago, and yet, it is a condition that explains so much about what goes wrong with the immune system and how that dysfunction can lead to chronic inflammation. If you loved last season's episode on histamine intolerance (and I know many you did – it was one of the most popular of the year!), today's interview is the perfect follow-up conversation.

Celiac disease is a big risk factor for SIBO, and yet, it's often an overlapping condition that many doctors miss. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Lisa Shaver to discuss the relationship between leaky gut, gluten, and the body's autoimmune response in someone with celiac disease—and how these mechanisms can lead to other gut disorders like SIBO. We also get into why gluten has become public enemy number 1 in today's modern food culture, whether non-celiac gluten sensitivity is a legit condition, and the dangers of someone going on a gluten-free diet without proper medical due diligence. Dr. Shaver is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in Portland, Oregon whose private practice focuses on celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, GERD, SIBO, IBS and other digestive disorders. A quick taste of what we'll cover: The genetic components of celiac disease and what triggers its expression How leaky gut is impacted by the vagus nerve, emotional traumas or stressors, and the downwind impact for both autoimmune conditions like celiac and SIBO Why celiac disease is on the rise Common mistakes people make when testing for celiac or unpacking patients' symptoms The most important lifestyle changes celiacs need to make in addition to eliminating gluten Whether non-celiacs with SIBO should eliminate gluten from their diet How the gluten-free diet and the low FODMAP approach can be explored in tandem The difference between food sensitivities and autoimmune-based food reactions And so much more...
