In this powerful episode of Pushing the Limits, Lisa Tamati sits down with integrative gut health expert Dr. Kathleen Janel (a.k.a. GI Janel) to explore the hidden root causes of IBS, SIBO, and chronic digestive dysfunction and the groundbreaking use of high-dose MSM as part of a holistic gut repair strategy.
Dr. Janel shares her personal healing journey from debilitating gut issues to full recovery and how this inspired her mission to help others with complex gastrointestinal conditions. Together, they dive into how glyphosate exposure wreaks havoc on the gut microbiome, suppresses immunity, and fuels systemic inflammation and what you can do to detoxify and heal.
You'll learn:
-
The overlooked role of glyphosate toxicity in gut disorders

Why many SIBO protocols fail and what to do instead
-
How MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) helps rebuild the intestinal lining and reduce inflammation

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
