Inflammation Nation: Science Informed WellnessAuthor: Dr. Steven Noseworthy
We live in an age where modern medicine has proven both its value, and its failures. Despite medical advances since the early 20th century, humanity is still plagued by largely preventable health issues. And many who seek help in modern medicine are left confused by their multitude of unresolved chronic symptoms, most of which are driven by chronic low grade inflammation.The good news is that 80% of what will help you recover the quality of life you have lost is under your control. By optimizing your diet and lifestyle, and changing how your body interacts with and responds to the environment, you can take control of your own health and become semi-independent of a broken healthcare system.ABOUTDr. Steven Noseworthy is an internationally known Functional Medicine doctor and seminar speaker. Since 2008, he has taught thousands of doctors, of all kinds and from around the world, how to use a science-informed, systems-based approach to optimal health. This podcast is a consumer friendly version of many of the topics he teaches in his doctor-only Functional Medicine seminars.

182 | Untangling SIBO: From Diagnosis to Recovery with SIBO Expert Dr. Allison Siebecker
Episode 182
Wednesday, 14 May, 2025
Send us a textThe mystery of stubborn digestive issues often leads to a single culprit hiding in plain sight: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). In this illuminating conversation with world-renowned SIBO expert Dr. Allison Siebecker, we unravel the complexities of this common yet frequently misunderstood condition.Dr. Siebecker explains why SIBO occurs when bacteria normally found in our large intestine inappropriately colonize the small intestine, creating a cascade of symptoms from bloating and pain to irregular bowel movements. Most surprisingly, she reveals that past food poisoning episodes are the leading trigger, causing an autoimmune reaction that damages the gut's critical "housekeeper wave" – the migrating motor complex that normally sweeps bacteria away.The conversation dives deep into practical clinical wisdom, exploring why testing matters (symptoms don't reliably predict which bacterial gases are present), why treatments often fail (most cases require 2-5 treatment rounds), and why prokinetics are non-negotiable (they can quadruple remission time). Dr. Siebecker shares her preferred protocols for each type of SIBO – hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide – with specific herbal and pharmaceutical recommendations refined through years of clinical experience.Perhaps most valuable for long-suffering patients is the discussion of challenging cases. When SIBO seems impossible to resolve, underlying factors like mold illness, parasites, or histamine intolerance may be the missing piece. The episode also clarifies the confusing world of SIBO diets, explaining why the Low FODMAP diet isn't optimal for SIBO despite its popularity, and how the elemental diet can dramatically reduce bacterial levels when other approaches fail.Whether you're a clinician treating digestive disorders or someone struggling with persistent gut symptoms, this episode provides the roadmap you need to navigate the journey from diagnosis to lasting recovery.
