This week, I’m joined by Jillian Smith, a registered dietitian who helps women to rid themselves of frustrating gut symptoms through functional medicine so they can get back to feeling like themselves again.In this episode, we’ll discuss why self-diagnosing can be dangerous, why we should get functional labwork done when we’re having unexplained issues, why probiotics aren’t always a cure-all and could make symptoms worse in some cases, the top irritants to our gut, and how to approach trial and error methods to get to the root of our symptoms.Getting to the root of our gut issues shouldn’t be stressful. It can be complicated to understand exactly what’s going on in our bodies, but we hope that this episode can push you to find the answers you’re looking for, and make it just a little easier to advocate for yourself and your gut health!  Sophie's Instagram: @shetalkshealthJillian's Instagram: @jilliansmith.rd, @the.gut.fixDisclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.
