Trust Your Gut

Author: Demi Fair

Trust Your Gut, hosted by Demi Fair, dives into the world of the mind-body connection. We explore the emerging science of the gut-brain axis and microbiome, while harnessing the power of intuition and connection to spirit. We dig into nervous system health and trauma, understanding how this is a key piece in our gut-brain and overall health imbalances, and learn new resources for building resilience. If you struggle with chronic digestive and mental stress, and are tired of trying just one more diet to address your symptoms, then this is the place for you. Sprinkled with personal stories of a lifetime of chronic gut-brain symptoms and a deep exploration of her inner world, Demi is here to help guide you to trust your gut. Demi is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and in training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

71. Why I Still Had Severe Dysbiosis After Healing My IBS (And What That Taught Me)
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026

What if your stool test results aren't actually your root cause? In this episode, I share a pivotal moment in my own 30-year healing journey — the day I retested my microbiome after becoming completely symptom-free, only to find I still had severe dysbiosis. What that result revealed changed everything about how I understand gut health. I break down why chasing bacteria, cycling through elimination diets, and obsessing over lab results can keep you stuck, and what it actually means to heal upstream. Using the river metaphor at the core of my framework, I explain how your nervous system, not your microbiome, sets the conditions for everything downstream. In this episode: Why my microbiome looked the same after healing as it did when I was suffering The difference between temporary symptom control and true healing How a dysbiotic microbiome is often a downstream consequence, not the root cause Why your body's ecosystem is far more resilient than any lab report suggests What it actually takes to restore the conditions for lasting gut health Join my free masterclass: Discover the Missing Piece to Break Free from the IBS-Stress Cycle Take my free quiz: Gut Issues?
