The Real Reason You’re Bloated, Tired, & Anxious (It Starts in Your Gut!)
Episode 135
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
If you’re constantly bloated, tired, or struggling with hormone imbalances, your gut might be the missing piece. In this episode of SHE MD, we sit down with double board-certified physician Dr. Amy Shah to break down the powerful connection between gut health, hormones, metabolism, and brain function, and why so many women are overlooking it. From IBS and SIBO to PCOS and endometriosis, this conversation reveals how inflammation and gut imbalance can silently drive so many common symptoms.Dr. Shah shares her simple, science-backed “30-30-3” framework (30g of protein at your first meal, 30g of fiber daily, and 3 probiotic foods) to help you rebuild your microbiome and feel better fast. We also dive into the truth about probiotics, why fiber is essential (and why most people aren’t getting enough), and how everyday habits like sleep, sunlight, and movement can dramatically improve your gut health.Plus, we cover magnesium for stress and sleep, the role of antibiotics, how to approach SIBO and elimination diets, and the easiest (and most overlooked) ways to support your brain and body long-term. If you’ve been feeling off and can’t figure out why, this episode will give you actionable steps to start healing from the inside out.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.
