In this episode of the "Thrive with Carrie" podcast, I’m thrilled to sit down with Dr. Ana Rodriguez, a brilliant naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist. Ana shares her incredible journey from conventional medicine to a more holistic approach, focusing on women's health, metabolic disorders, and gut-related conditions. We dive deep into the topic of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), exploring what it is, how it’s diagnosed, and the importance of looking at the whole body when treating it. Ana's passion for using natural methods, like nutraceuticals and herbal medicine, shines through as she explains how she creates personalized healing plans that really work.

As we chat, Ana breaks down the different types of gases involved in SIBO and talks us through the breath tests used for diagnosis. We also discuss the crucial role of motility and how stress and diet play into the condition. I’m especially excited about the way Ana connects the dots between gut health and the nervous system, showing just how interconnected our bodies really are. This episode is packed with practical advice and actionable tips for anyone dealing with gut issues, and I know you’re going to walk away with a better understanding of how to take charge of your health from the inside out.
