Ep 74: What SIBO Really Is (And Why the Standard Approach Falls Short) [SIBO mini series part 1]


Listen Later

If you’ve been handed another round of antibiotics or told to follow a strict diet for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), yet you’re still bloated, constipated, and frustrated, this episode is for you.

In this kickoff to our SIBO mini-series, Dr. Heather shares what SIBO actually is (hint: it’s not just bacteria in the wrong place), why the standard “kill and restrict” approach doesn’t lead to lasting relief, and what really needs to happen for sustainable recovery. You’ll also hear the story of a client who treated SIBO four times without success, until she finally addressed the deeper imbalances behind it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why SIBO is a symptom, not a root cause
  • The difference between hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide SIBO
  • Why antibiotics and restrictive diets often fail long-term
  • The role of motility, minerals, and your nervous system in healing
  • What truly needs to be restored for your gut to function again
