Have you been told you have histamine intolerance… so now you’re cutting out everything—leftovers, fermented foods, bone broth, even avocado—because you read they’re histamine high foods… and you’re still reacting? Or maybe you don’t have an “official” diagnosis… but you’ve got classic histamine intolerance symptoms like anxiety, reflux, bloating, eczema, dizziness, insomnia, or weird food reactions… and you’re wondering if histamine is the problem? Or you’ve tried all the things to treat high histamine - low histamine diet, histamine intolerance supplements like DAO, even a full-on histamine intolerance treatment plan from another practitione - but you still have histamine symptoms, so you’re asking: why won’t my histamine calm down? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then this episode is for you. Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series—where I take conditions that get treated like the root cause… and I show you what’s actually driving them. Because knowing a fake root cause vs. a real root cause is the difference between managing symptoms forever… or finally getting your life back. Today’s topic is: histamine. In this episode, I’m breaking down:What histamine intolerance really is The most common histamine intolerance symptoms you’re probably not connecting to histamineWhy a low histamine diet can become a cyclical trap that never heals youThe 6 real root causes that keep histamine high (even when you “eat perfectly”)And how to choose the right testing and support to find and reverse those root causes And one more thing—because I’m doing something fun for this whole series: visuals. If you’re a visual learner and want the flow chart that goes with this episode, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root and download the graphics. Because when you stop trying to avoid high histamine food like they’re your enemy… and start fixing what’s making your body unable to handle histamine - that’s when you get your life back.

Have you been diagnosed with candida overgrowth — but you're frustrated that your treatments haven't work? Have you not been diagnosed, but all your symptoms — bloating, brain fog, sugar cravings, skin flares, even recurring yeast infections or UTIs — keep pointing you back to candida?Or have you treated candida before… felt better during the protocol… and then watched everything slowly creep back in and thought, “Why is this happening again?” If you said "yes" to any of these questions - this episode is for you. Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not. Today’s topic is: candida. My hope is that this episode blows your mind and helps you to completely rewire how you think about candida. If you get today's episode, you will understand everything you need to to In this episode, I’m breaking down:Why treating candida directly - with diet changes, cleanses, or supplements - so often doesn't work (and ends up with you doing it again and again)The real root causes that drive candida to overgrow in the first placeWhy different people have totally different sets of candida causes underneath the surfaceWhat testing can actually help you map the problem correctlyAnd what you need to do so candida doesn’t just disappear for a month… and then take over again And one more thing — I’m doing something new for this entire Real Root Cause Series: visuals. If you’re a visual learner, or you want the big picture laid out clearly, go to betterbellytherapies.com/root to download the graphics that go with this episode. Because when you stop fighting candida like it’s your primary enemy... and start addressing what’s actually feeding it — that’s when it stops coming back.

Have you been told that slow motility is the reason you’re constipated, bloated, or dealing with digestive issues that just won’t resolve?Have you tried to “treat” slow motility — with supplements, laxatives, diets, or protocols — only to find that nothing actually sticks?Or maybe you haven’t been formally diagnosed, but all signs seem to point to slow digestion, sluggish bowels, or food just not moving the way it should.If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.Today we’re continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between finding healing from your symptoms... or not.Today's topic is: slow motility.Slow motility is a common diagnosis I hear clients get from a doctor who explains that "slow motility" is why they have constipation, acid reflux, bloating, or some other digestive issue. The solution to slow motility, according to the doctor, is usually either "get used to it", surgery (when motility is bad enough), or a merry-go-round of supplements or medications designed to help "slow motility" (but that don't really help relieve your symptoms).The reason these methods don't really help slow motility is because slow motility is NOT a root cause. It's being CAUSED by something else!That's why, on today's episode, I'm breaking down:Why treating slow gut motility with supplements or medications rarely worksThe real causes of slow gut motilityHow to test for these root causes of low motilityAnd what actually needs to be addressed for motility to return naturallyIf you're ready to stop chasing new and different supplements or simply feeling like a victim to the rate your body decided to digest at - then this episode is for you.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction to Slow Motility 00:34 - Understanding Real Root Causes 01:00 - Common Misdiagnoses and Misconceptions 02:01 - Welcome to the Better Belly Podcast 03:10 - Deep Dive into Slow Motility 07:46 - Symptoms and Related Conditions 09:04 - Root Causes of Slow Motility 13:43 - Digestive Enzymes and Their Importance 17:34 - Visceral Adhesions Explained 20:32 - Understanding Myofascial and Visceral Adhesions 21:44 - Finding a Qualified Practitioner for Visceral Manipulation 22:32 - Self-Evaluation Techniques for Visceral Adhesions 23:21 - The Role of the Vagus Nerve in Motility 25:35 - Mold and Its Impact on Gut Health 27:56 - Other Pathogens Affecting Gut Motility 29:34 - Nutrient Deficiencies and Constipation 31:04 - Food Sensitivities and Inflammation 32:41 - Thyroid Issues and Slow Motility 34:49 - Comprehensive Testing and Protocols 38:13 - Conclusion and Next StepsEPISODES MENTIONED:235// SIBO Symptoms, SIBO Testing, and Why SIBO Treatments Fail90// Fascia 101: The Hidden Force Behind Bloating and Constipation118// LIVER: The #1 Thing You Can Do to Ease Bloating and PMS221// Mold &amp; Constipation: How Toxic Mold Exposure Causes Constipation232// Is Sodium Deficiency Causing Your Bloating and Constipation?40// Reduce Acid Reflux with the Magic Power of Zinc233// H.

It’s been almost 300 episodes, and I realized something recently… I haven’t fully re-shared my healing story in a really long time.So as a way to celebrate the new year, I'm telling my story again — but with new details, deeper clarity, and perspective I didn’t have the first time I shared it… all the way back in Episode 1.Eight years ago, in 2018, I reversed two straight years of constipation, acid reflux, and IBS— after being told there was nothing “wrong” with me… and nothing more that could be done. Now, my health is actually better now than it was when I was a kid.In today’s episode, I’m walking you through the 7 steps I took to naturally heal my gut when absolutely nothing else worked.
