Today, in the Scheer Madness Podcast, Dr. Joe Mather joins Rachel to talk about gut health. They discuss what Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is, the leading causes of SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), what we can do to help control bacterial growth, and how functional medicine can help address gut issues long-term. 

At the Ruscio Institute for Functional Medicine, Dr. Joe Mather uses an integrated approach of both natural and conventional medicine to help you heal, while also taking the time needed to get to the root cause of your health issues.
