The Real Reason You’re Bloated (and How to Fix It for Good)


Listen Later

If you’ve been battling bloating, sugar cravings, or gut issues—and your doctor says everything looks “normal”—this episode is for you. Jen Smiley sits down with Dr. Daryl Gioffre, a leading gut microbiome and longevity expert known for his acid-kicking approach to nutrition. From the truth about acid reflux and hidden sugar to the long-term impact of antibiotics, Dr. Gioffre explains how most people are suffering from low stomach acid and leaky gut—and what you can do to start healing now.

He shares simple daily hacks, the five supplements everyone needs, and a powerful post-antibiotic protocol to repair your gut lining. You’ll also learn how to spot food sensitivities, reduce inflammation, and finally understand why the foods you think are healthy may be holding you back.

Key Takeaways:

  • Low stomach acid—not high—is the root cause of most reflux and gut issues

  • Sugar (even "healthy" types like honey and coconut sugar) feeds inflammation and raises uric acid

  • Everyone has leaky gut—and it’s driving more than just bloating (think brain fog, anxiety, hormone imbalances)

  • Post-antibiotic protocol: Silver + aloe + spore-based probiotic can rebuild the gut in just 2 weeks

  • Avoid seed oils, dairy, gluten, and carbonated drinks to reduce inflammation

  • Supplements everyone needs:

  • Magnesium

  • Omega-3s

  • Probiotic

  • Vitamin D3 + K2

  • Greens (liquid is best!)

  • Best gut-healing products: Acid-Kicking Minerals & Gut Punch (dairy-free colostrum + organic collagen)

  • Kombucha and probiotic yogurt? Not so fast—they may be doing more harm than good

  • Bonus: Kombucha can contain hidden alcohol and yeast, fueling Candida
