Are unwanted critters crawling around inside your body?

It turns out that having the right bacteria in the wrong places can lead to a myriad of problems. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) affects millions of people and it's estimated that 60% of people who have IBS also have SIBO. Though common, SIBO is a complex issue and today Phoebe Lapine is here to make it simple. 

Phoebe was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s back in her 20s and a few years ago when suspicious symptoms started resurfacing, a trip to her doctor revealed her new diagnosis. This gave her a kickstart into diving into the world of SIBO and was the catalyst behind her latest book, SIBO Made Simple. 

Stay tuned to learn what SIBO really is, how it affects your body, and common root causes and symptoms. Phoebe also shares options for testing and treating SIBO so you can start taking your health back.
