✨ Show Notes & Key Takeaways:

• Understanding SIBO & SIFO:
  What they are, how they develop, and why they’re so often missed in conventional medicine.
• Testing vs. Guessing:
  Courtney breaks down the difference between hospital tests, lactulose breath tests, and functional stool tests like the GI Map — and how to interpret them.
• Root Causes & Chronic Recurrence:
  Why two-thirds of SIBO cases come back, and the importance of addressing low stomach acid, meal hygiene, stress, and underlying pathogens.
• Healing Through Food:
  The two biggest inflammatory foods to remove (wheat and dairy), what to eat instead, and how to begin reintroducing foods mindfully.
• The Holistic Approach:
  Courtney’s client success story that proves healing takes time — but is absolutely possible.
• Skin as a Mirror:
  How brighter, clearer skin often signals internal healing and hormonal balance.
• Myths & Misconceptions:
  You don’t need gut symptoms to have SIBO or SIFO — signs like restless legs, iron deficiency, or fatigue can all point to gut imbalance.
• Can You Truly Heal?
  The answer is yes — but healing may require layered work, lifestyle changes, and long-term digestive support.

🧘‍♀️ Episode Quote:

“It doesn’t matter how many nutrients you take in if your body can’t absorb them. Healing your gut is the gateway to hormonal balance.”
