episode 25 show notes

Hey there – happy 2024! I’m excited to be back with the podcast and get to geek out on one of my favorite topics – gut health. Today’s episode is part 1 of a 2 part series, gut health 101. We’re diving into the gut and what the process of digestion looks like, signs of poor digestion, how your gut and immune system are connected, common gut health issues we see in our practice, and more. 

Our gut affects SO many things (probably way more than you think), and addressing the root cause of your specific symptoms is incredibly important. I’d love to hear how this episode helped you, and don’t forget to come back for part 2 of this series next week!

in this episode, gut health 101: part 1, I cover:  

  • The digestive process, explained {3:49}
  • Signs of digestive dysfunction and poor gut health {6:43}
  • Why not all inflammation is bad + the key differences between acute and chronic inflammation {8:09}
  • How your immune system is greatly impacted by your gut {9:54}
  • The gut-brain connection + what the gut microbiome is {11:11}
  • How to know if your gut is healthy and/or if you need to utilize gut testing {13:05}
  • Common gut health issues we see in our practice {14:25}
  • What ‘leaky gut’ is + symptoms and major contributors {16:42}
  • What SIBO is + symptoms, treatment and more {20:24}
  • How candida shows up in the gut {27:01}
  • The major root cause of acid reflux (aka GERD), and how to support healthy levels of stomach acid {33:51}
  • What H-pylori is, how it’s transmitted, and how to tackle it {39:35}
  • How parasites can show up in and affect the gut {42:30}

MORE ABOUT ME

Thanks for being here! I'm a functional nutritionist and holistic health coach that specializes in helping you balance your hormones and optimize health by finding the root cause of your symptoms. 

Hey, I'm Margaret

JOIN THE NEWSLETTER

I specialize in taking a root-cause approach to understand your body from the inside out using nutrition and functional lab data, while embracing holistic and alternative approaches to wellness I’m not stranger to feeling desperate for solutions to fix your health symptoms yet only be told, “your labs look great” and “nothing’s wrong”. I struggled with horrific acne, irregular periods, awful PMS, anxiety, bloating & gut issues and went to countless of doctors and health practitioners only to be offered birth control or a prescription medication for my acne. 

I said “no thanks!” and dove deep into the science and research. Now I am healthier, more vibrant and feel more balanced in my 30’s than I was 10 years ago, and I truly have functional medicine to thank for that! Ever since, my team and I have helped hundreds of women heal their hormones, improve their thyroid, fix their digestion, clear their skin, brain fog and more
