Gut health coach Bethany O’Toole battled both IBS and endometriosis for a LONG time.

Decades of digestive troubles were coupled with this debilitating reproductive condition…and Bethany was warned she’d likely need surgery to have her womb removed in her early 20s!

Bethany told medics, “no chance”…and went down a rabbithole for years and was successful in finding natural solutions to reverse her health issues.

Following her own serious health battle, Bethany was fired up to become a gut health coach and she now primarily helps other women with IBS and all the terrible symptoms that go hand in hand with a dysfunctional gut.

IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

Crohn’s Disease is no laughing matter…but for comedian and writer Matt Nagin, plenty of jokes and joy were the perfect prescription.

Matt Nagin was first diagnosed with this inflammatory bowel condition 33 years ago. After all this time – and several surgeries – Matt is in full remission and has been medication free for the past two years.

It’s all down to numerous holistic healing and lifestyle changes that Matt has implemented, along with two other key factors.

Based in Alabama in the US, and an active supporter of Crohn’s and Colitis charities, Matt joined us on the For Gut Sake podcast this week to share his incredible Crohn’s healing story.

Matt’s easily the funniest dude we’ve had on the show! 

And somehow we ended up with Matt rapping about Crohn’s, his toilet troubles…and disasters on dates with girls.

We asked Matt: “What were the most effective and beneficial steps you took to regain your health?”

His answers might surprise you, and take you down a road you weren’t really expecting…

Mike Sweeney openly admits that he used to drink heavily, was obese for years, and struggled with mental health issues and IBS. These days, he's a superfit dietitian with the NHS who dedicates himself to showing people how to reverse IBS, type II diabetes, and many other chronic health conditions.

Helping patients achieve amazing outcomes through nutritional and lifestyle modifications is what drives Mike - and he's had plenty of success doing so.

Mike is like a walking, talking encyclopedia on nutrition. And what makes Mike’s advice much more impactful is the fact that he experienced IBS himself…aswell as the alcoholism, being overweight, and dealing with depression and anxiety. 

All of these past personal struggles make his work more genuine and relatable. 

Tune in to hear Mike's insights on nutrition and what's wrong with the current approach in healthcare. Plus, we engage in a thought-provoking conversation on ultra-processed foods and their impacts on our health, with practical dietary advice you wouldn't want to miss.

IN THIS WEEK'S EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: 

* What were the three key factors in Mike overcoming IBS, obesity, alcoholism, depression and anxiety.

* Why Mike doesn’t follow the Low FODMAP diet and, while he’s trained in it, he hasn’t once had to share it with patients.

* A simple tweak he recommends people with IBS make to their diet to get symptoms under control.

* A cheap solution for chronic constipation you can buy in most supermarkets…that’s all natural and has worked with lots of Mike’s patients.

* And so much more!
