In this episode of The Rebel Nutritionist Podcast, Shira McManus shares her journey from being a healthy, active woman to suddenly struggling with SIBO, chronic nausea, food intolerances, and debilitating gut issues. After months of doctor visits, tests, medications, and failed protocols, she found herself desperate for answers and unsure if she would ever feel normal again. Shira opens up about what finally helped her turn a corner, the patience and mindset required to heal, and the emotional impact chronic illness can have on your relationships and everyday life. She also shares how her experience changed the way she looks at food and inspired her new venture, Shelf Unstable.
