In this episode, we take a deep, science-driven look at the real causes of bloating and abdominal pain — far beyond the usual food sensitivity explanations. Coach Kylie RD, CPT, NBC-HWC, RYT-500 breaks down the complex interactions between the gut–brain axis, digestive physiology, motility disorders, microbial imbalance, inflammation, hormones, and the autonomic nervous system.
You’ll learn why bloating is rarely “just gas,” how neurological and immune pathways amplify discomfort, and why women experience these symptoms more intensely. We also dive into how functional stool testing like the GI-MAP can uncover root causes such as dysbiosis, enzyme insufficiency, and gut inflammation. If you struggle with chronic bloating or work with clients who do, this episode offers clear, evidence-based insight into what’s really happening inside the body — and what to do next.
