The primary goal of naturopathic medicine and the way I practice is focused on supporting you by providing you with the tools you need to prevent disease and to ignite your body’s innate ability to heal.
IBS should only be diagnosed after ruling out all other potential causes of symptoms. Unfortunately, too often, people receive this diagnosis with minimal testing or investigation into what’s really going on. Let’s talk about a few common underlying issues that may be mislabeled as IBS:
✨ Fungal Overgrowth: Conditions like candida overgrowth can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort—classic “IBS” symptoms that often respond well to targeted treatment.
🦠 Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, or SIBO, occurs when bacteria that should stay in the large intestine move into the small intestine. It’s a leading cause of bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel movements and requires specific testing to diagnose.
🌱 Dysbiosis: Imbalance in gut bacteria can disrupt digestive function and lead to inflammation, discomfort, and irregularity. This often shows up in people with IBS symptoms when we do comprehensive microbiome testing and can drastically improve with gut-supportive care.
🥛 Hidden Food Sensitivities: Sensitivities to foods like dairy, gluten, or even certain common foods like corn, can lead to chronic digestive upset. Discovering these sensitivities can be life-changing for symptom relief.
🌾 Celiac Disease: True celiac disease requires a lifelong commitment to avoid gluten. Often, celiac disease goes untested in people with IBS-like symptoms, leading to years of frustration.
💧 Intestinal Permeability (Leaky Gut): When the gut lining becomes more permeable from damage, it allows particles to enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation, digestive issues, and even systemic symptoms.

In my practice, building a therapeutic relationship means creating a space where we can laugh, keep it light and go deep, because healing happens when we address both the surface and what lies beneath.

As a gut health specialist, I hear a lot of symptoms that raise red flags for me. 🚩
🍬 “I have intense sugar cravings…” — This makes me think of fungal overgrowth like Candida.
🤢 “I get so nauseous after eating…” — Sounds like low stomach acid might be the culprit.
🌾 “Fiber makes my symptoms worse…” — My first thought? Could be SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).
But here’s the thing—this isn’t always the answer. Symptoms often overlap with different gut conditions, so it’s important to dig deeper 🕵️♀️ and run the right tests to uncover the root cause. No one-size-fits-all solutions when it comes to gut health! 💡
If these sound familiar, let’s explore what’s really going on in your gut. Book a discovery call with me to start getting real answers. Link in bio OR comment the word “HELP” down below ⬇️ and I’ll send you the link straight to your DMs 📥📧

When you’re desperate for answers but all you hear is ‘Your labs are normal’ 😩 The frustration is real! Just because labs look fine doesn’t mean everything is fine—no one knows your body better than you do. 🧠💡

🌿 Gut Health Made Easy: Chia Seed Pudding! 🌿
If you’re looking for a simple, delicious, and gut-friendly snack, chia seed pudding is your answer! 💡 Here’s why it’s a must for your digestive health:
✨ Great for Constipation – Chia seeds are packed with fiber, which helps keep things moving smoothly. Just a small serving can make a big difference in supporting regular bowel movements.
✨ Protein & Fiber Powerhouse – These tiny seeds are not only a good source of plant-based protein, but they’re also loaded with both soluble and insoluble fiber, making them perfect for keeping your gut happy and healthy.
✨ So Easy to Make – It takes just a few minutes to whip up! Here’s my go-to recipe:
• 3/4 cup chia seeds
• 3 cups non-dairy milk
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
Mix everything together well, pop it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight works too), and you’re good to go! 🍴
One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is topped with fresh berries or ripe mango/pineapple for that perfect combo of flavors. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and SO good for you! 🍓🥭🍍
