Have you ever been told your bloating, stomach aches, or unpredictable bowel habits are normal? This one's for you. In today’s solo episode, I dive into a topic I'm deeply passionate about - small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, also known as SIBO. I want to help you understand that SIBO isn’t just a diagnosis, it’s the result of broader dysfunction in the gut, and recognising it can be life-changing.
In this episode, I chat about:
- What SIBO is and how it affects the gut
- Underlying causes and triggering factors
- Why SIBO could be misdiagnosed
- Signs and symptoms of SIBO
- Diagnostic tests
- The difference between SIBO and IMO
- Common mistakes made in the testing process
- How to treat SIBO and reduce the risk of recurrence
- Recovery and life after SIBO
- How to find an experienced SIBO practitioner
- What to do if you suspect you have SIBO

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
