Summary
Have you been told you have IBS, been given a prescription, and sent on your way? That's exactly what happens to tens of millions of people. An IBS diagnosis doesn't explain anything. It's just a label for symptoms with over 30 possible underlying causes, most of which conventional medicine doesn't investigate. In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Dr. Izabella Wentz, who shares her irritable bowel syndrome experience and her husband's ulcerative colitis diagnosis that went into remission within eight weeks of using a root-cause protocol. She breaks down exactly how gut dysbiosis, parasites, mold exposure, glyphosate, stress, hormonal imbalances, and even your medications could be driving your symptoms. If you've been living with IBS and not getting answers, this episode has a helpful roadmap. Izabella walks through the first steps you can take today, how functional testing would help, and why the right protocol depends entirely on finding your root cause.
