What if your anxiety, anger, or depression isn't a mental health issue—but a gut health issue?

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Glenn and Phyllis sit down with Allison Jordan, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and founder of Better Bellies Therapies, who reveals how hidden infections, digestive dysfunction, and mineral imbalances can hijack your emotions and leave you feeling broken.

Allison shares her groundbreaking "Five Toxin Trap" framework that has helped hundreds of clients come off anxiety medications, eliminate chronic pain, and finally understand why traditional medicine keeps missing the root causes of their symptoms.

You'll discover:

• Why C. diff infections can cause chronic anxiety by blocking dopamine conversion
• How H. pylori in your stomach prevents you from absorbing the nutrients needed for neurotransmitters
• The shocking connection between copper toxicity and 50% of divorces
• Why your "stress" diagnosis might actually be parasites, food sensitivities, or poor detoxification
• How one client's sugar cravings disappeared in 3 days after removing hidden food sensitivities
• The at-home baking soda test to check your stomach acid levels
• Why hormone imbalances aren't the root cause—and what is

This episode is for you if:

• You've been told "it's just stress" or "it's all in your head"
• You're struggling with anxiety, depression, or anger that won't budge despite therapy or medication
• You have chronic health issues like IBS, acid reflux, insomnia, or unexplained pain
• You've tried "everything" but still don't feel like yourself
• You're tired of being told you lack willpower when it comes to food cravings or emotional regulation

Allison's approach is different from conventional medicine—she uses specialized testing that hospitals don't run to find infections like chronic low-grade C. diff, H. pylori, parasites, mineral imbalances, food sensitivities, and liver congestion that are driving your symptoms.

The best part? Many of these issues are completely reversible when you address the actual root cause instead of just managing symptoms.
