Gut Health Without the Guesswork with Dr. Rachael Lovink, ND

In this episode of The ND Gap, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Rachael Lovink, ND, a naturopathic doctor specializing in chronic gut conditions and disorders of gut-brain interaction.Jordan opens the conversation by sharing something many clinicians quietly experience: gut health can feel incredibly difficult to manage in practice. When the solutions aren’t obvious, it can be challenging to know where to start or how to confidently guide patients through chronic symptoms like bloating, constipation, or IBS.Together, Jordan and Rachael unpack why gut health often feels so confusing for practitioners, how clinical training and industry messaging shape the way clinicians approach testing and treatment, and why so many patients end up cycling through expensive protocols that don’t always deliver lasting results.This episode is an honest conversation about where gut health care can go wrong and how clinicians can approach it differently.Connect with Dr. Lovink on Instagram ----Welcome back to The ND Gap, the podcast about the space between where naturopathic medicine is today and where it needs to go.
