Are electrolytes and trace minerals the same thing? Not quite! In this episode, Wendy Handy, FDN-P and gut health coach, explains the key differences between trace mineral supplementation and electrolytes—and why both are crucial for gut health.

You’ll learn:

The role of electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium in hydration, bowel motility, and gut lining protection.

How trace minerals such as zinc, selenium, iron, and iodine support digestion, enzymes, microbiome balance, and long-term gut repair.

What happens to your gut when you’re deficient in either (hello bloating, cramping, diarrhea, or constipation!).

Simple ways to get more of these nutrients naturally through food and supplementation.

If you’re dealing with IBD, digestive issues, or fatigue, this episode will help you understand the missing mineral link to better gut function.

👉 Tune in to discover how electrolytes keep your gut working in the moment, while trace minerals strengthen it for the long haul.

Stay happy, stay healthy!

Are food sensitivities secretly sabotaging your gut health, energy, or immune system?

In this episode of Gut Fix – Say Goodbye to IBD, Naturally, Wendy Handy, FDN-P, reveals why food sensitivities are one of the most overlooked drivers of inflammation, fatigue, and flare-ups—and how you can finally stop guessing and start testing.

After years of sharing about food sensitivities on the podcast, Wendy is thrilled to announce access to the FIT 176 Food Sensitivity Test—a powerful tool that looks at 176 foods and additives to uncover hidden triggers behind digestive issues, brain fog, skin conditions, and more.

You’ll learn:

Why food sensitivities don’t always show up as stomach problems.

How hidden foods (even “healthy” ones) can trigger inflammation.

Why testing beats elimination diets when it comes to long-term healing.

How the FIT 176 can give you a clear, personalized roadmap for calming your gut and regaining your energy.

✨ If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of trial and error, this episode is your sign: it’s time to stop guessing and start testing.
