Ep 34: Breaking Down Microbiome Imbalances: dysbiosis, candida, and leaky gut

In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, we explore common gut microbiome imbalances that cause painful digestive issues. I discuss gut dysbiosis, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), candida overgrowth, and leaky gut. I explain their causes, symptoms, and the importance of a root cause approach to finally overcoming chronic digestive issues.   WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE: Gut dysbiosis is a fancy way of saying there is an imbalance of your gut bacteria. SIBO is primarily a gut motility issue, not just a bacterial one. Candida overgrowth is opportunistic and often linked to antibiotic use. Leaky gut is a symptom of underlying issues, not a root cause. The gut lining is self-repairing, but needs support to heal. Chronic stress can negatively affect gut health. Dietary changes alone will not resolve gut issues when these other imbalances are present.   LINKS: Book a strategy call with Hannah HERE Take the Gut Health Root Cause Quiz for free!
