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
The science behind low sIgA, leaky gut, and microbiome collapse
Natural protocols combining MSM with binders, glutathione, and sulforaphane
How to personalise a gut-healing plan without destroying your microbiome
This is a must-listen episode for anyone suffering from IBS, bloating, food intolerances, or looking to reverse gut-driven autoimmunity.
