Summary
Host James Maskell interviews Dr. Izabella Wentz, a leader in thyroid health and functional medicine, about her new work on IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

The episode highlights how functional medicine practitioners can achieve high success rates by identifying and addressing root causes, using targeted diagnostics, personalized interventions, and lifestyle strategies to restore gut health and prevent chronic disease progression. - - - - - About the Guest: Dr. Izabella Wentz is a pharmacist, functional medicine expert, and bestselling author known for her work on thyroid health and Hashimoto's disease.
