My own test results revealed that the healthy foods I eat every day, like garlic and ginger, can actually cause inflammation. It turns out, you can feel perfectly fine and still have hidden gut problems sabotaging your health goals.

In this episode, I share my personal GI Map and food sensitivity test results with Margaret Floyd Barry. I’ve always considered myself a healthy guy, so I was genuinely shocked by what we found lurking in my gut, including specific bacteria and a common parasite that could be getting in the way of my goal to build and maintain muscle.

Margaret breaks down exactly what the tests show, connecting the dots between my history of antibiotic use, my current diet, and the specific imbalances that need attention. We uncover everything from my immune system being on high alert to a hidden reaction to gluten I never knew I had. 

This conversation is a fascinating look at how deep testing can provide a clear roadmap to optimize your health, even when you think you’re doing everything right.

"The mechanism by which food sensitivities are created is primarily through a compromised gut." ~ Margaret Floyd Barry
