In this episode, Tara breaks down what loose stools actually mean, why they're not something to ignore, and the key root causes she sees most often in practice. From gut infections and dysbiosis to bile flow issues and poor digestion, she explains how to connect the dots between your symptoms and what's really going on underneath.

She also walks through the common mistakes people make when trying to fix gut issues—like guessing with supplements or following generic protocols—and why these approaches can often make things worse.

If you're dealing with loose stools, urgency, or inconsistent digestion, this episode will help you understand what your body is signaling and how to approach it properly.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why gut issues often show up as fatigue, anxiety, weight gain (not just digestive issues)
• How to tell if it's SIBO or a colon issue
• The role of digestion, bile, and transit time (this is huge)
• Why probiotics alone aren't the solution
• What proper stool testing looks like
• The red flags to watch for when choosing a practitioner

If you feel like you've tried all the things and nothing's working, or you're just OVER not feeling your best, seriously, give this one a listen.
