In this episode of the Summer Survival Series, Dr. Emily Kiberd dives into a hidden struggle many women with Hashimoto’s face when traveling: vacation bloat, gut issues, and digestive setbacks. If you’ve ever returned from a trip feeling puffy, gassy, constipated—or like you're recovering from more than jet lag—this episode is for you.
Dr. Emily shares why travel can wreak havoc on your gut, especially if you have autoimmune inflammation, and outlines the exact supplement protocol she takes on trips to keep her digestion happy and her energy strong.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why traveling causes gut issues—even if you’re eating clean
- How altitude, new foods, and jet lag affect digestion
- What “travelers’ constipation” is and why your nervous system plays a role
- The 6 must-have supplements to bring on your next trip
- When to get tested for parasites or gut infections after travel
- Why bloating, brain fog, or food sensitivities may be signs of deeper gut trouble
