## Resource

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. "There are over 30 root causes of IBS. Conventional medicine doesn't really talk about most of them, and most of them are glossed over." ~ Dr. Izabella Wentz In This Episode: - Izabella's experience with IBS - What IBS really is and its most common root causes - How different toxins lead to gut dysbiosis - Why conventional doctors miss IBS - How stress and anxiety trigger IBS - Probiotics: when they help and when they hurt - First steps to identify your root cause - GLP-1 medications and digestive side effects - Functional stool testing and GI-Map explained - Her husband's ulcerative colitis remission story Products & Resources Mentioned: Izabella Wentz's book, "IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome": Check it out at https://thyroidpharmacist.com/ibs-book-order/ Puori Grass-Fed PW1 W…
