In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the most overlooked aspects of pancreatic insufficiency management: nutrition. While pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is essential, diet plays a major role in determining how well those enzymes work and how you feel day to day. We explore what a practical pancreatic insufficiency diet looks like, common mistakes that keep symptoms lingering, and why many people with EPI may also be dealing with overlapping conditions like SIBO, IBS, or gut microbiome imbalances.

You'll learn:

  • What is pancreatic insufficiency, and common EPI symptoms
  • Why EPI is often mistaken for IBS and SIBO, and how fat malabsorption affects digestion
  • The connection between EPI and bacterial overgrowth
  • What to eat & limit with pancreatic insufficiency
  • Meal timing and meal structure strategies
  • Nutrients commonly depleted in EPI
  • Why symptoms sometimes persist despite enzyme therapy

Why do some people dramatically improve with a treatment that does absolutely nothing for someone else with the exact same IBS diagnosis? A new 2026 study may help answer that question. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down groundbreaking research that individualized IBS treatment based on microbiome findings rather than treating everyone with the same symptom-based approach. The results challenge one of the biggest assumptions in digestive health: that people with the same diagnosis need the same solutions.

You’ll learn:

  • Why IBS is a symptom description, not a root cause
  • The major flaw in much of IBS research
  • What a new 2026 personalized IBS study discovered
  • Why averages can hide meaningful treatment success
  • The difference between symptom-based care and individualized care
  • How methane SIBO, pelvic floor dysfunction, and motility issues can overlap
  • Why diarrhea isn't always caused by the same underlying problem
  • The role of bile acid malabsorption and pancreatic enzyme insufficiency
  • How histamine intolerance can masquerade as digestive dysfunction
  • Why sequencing matters just as much as choosing the right intervention
  • The common mistake people make with probiotics, fiber, glutamine, and elimination diets
  • What personalized gut health care may look like in the future

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the overlooked pieces of successful SIBO recovery: making sure the digestive system is actually moving before starting SIBO treatment.

Because when bowel movements are incomplete, sluggish, or backed up, the body has a much harder time clearing fermentation byproducts, gas, and bacterial die-off compounds, which can make treatment feel unbearable.

Inside this episode, we discuss:

  • Why constipation is about more than “not going enough”
  • The connection between methane gas and slowed motility
  • Why many people feel awful during antibiotics or herbal protocols
  • The relationship between constipation, toxin recirculation, and die-off symptoms
  • Why “eat more fiber” often backfires in IBS-C and methane SIBO
  • Why giant salads, fiber supplements, and roughage can worsen fermentation
  • Gentle strategies that often work better for methane-dominant cases
  • Why nervous system regulation plays a major role in digestion and motility
  • The mistake of pushing through severe die-off symptoms
  • Supportive strategies for bowel movements and downstream clearance

If you’ve ever felt better temporarily after antibiotics, herbals, or restrictive diets only to have symptoms slowly return again, this episode explains why that happens and what’s often being missed underneath the surface.

Rather than viewing SIBO as simply “bad bacteria coming back,” Alyssa walks through the larger gut environment that allows overgrowth to happen in the first place — including motility issues, digestion problems, nervous system dysregulation, constipation, microbiome depletion, and impaired gut defenses.

You’ll learn:

  • Why recurring SIBO is usually not just one single “root cause”
  • The difference between treating bacterial overgrowth vs restoring gut function
  • How the small intestine normally regulates bacterial balance
  • Why impaired motility and the migrating motor complex matter so much
  • The role of stomach acid, bile flow, digestive enzymes, and gut immunity
  • Why symptom relief does not always mean the gut environment has recovered
  • The hidden reasons SIBO keeps relapsing after treatment
  • Why restrictive diets alone rarely create lasting recovery
  • How chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation affect digestion
  • What needs to improve to make long-term progress possible

Constipation is one of the most oversimplified digestive symptoms online. But what happens when you’re already doing all of the things - eating more fiber, drinking more water, taking magnesium citrate and probiotic supplements - and you still feel bloated, backed up, uncomfortable, reactive to foods, and worse the harder you try to “eat healthy”?

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks why IBS-C is often much more complex than a simple fiber deficiency, and why certain healthy foods can actually backfire in sensitive digestive systems. 

You will learn:

  • Why constipation and bloating are so closely connected
  • How slowed motility and microbial fermentation create a vicious cycle
  • Why methane gas can actively slow digestion down
  • The gut-brain connection and the nervous system’s role in IBS-C
  • Signs your constipation may actually be methane SIBO / IMO
  • Gentle strategies to support motility without overwhelming the gut

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down why SIBO breath tests can miss what’s actually happening, and how to look beyond the “positive vs negative” label to understand what your body is really telling you. You’ll learn how factors like test type, timing, gas patterns, and even transit time can completely change how results should be interpreted.

You’ll learn:

  • Why glucose vs lactulose testing can lead to false negatives
  • How methane overgrowth (IMO) is often missed entirely
  • The problem with strict lab cutoffs (and what they overlook)
  • Why a “normal” result can still show clinically meaningful patterns
  • What flatline results may actually indicate (including hydrogen sulfide)
  • How slow or fast gut motility can distort your test results
  • The difference between lab interpretation and clinical interpretation
  • Real patient case examples where “normal” results missed the diagnosis

If you’ve ever tried to follow a low FODMAP diet as a vegetarian, you’ve probably had this exact thought: “What am I even supposed to eat?” Because the foods you rely on most are suddenly the very things you're told to avoid. And that’s where the frustration starts. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down how to actually make a low FODMAP vegetarian diet work in real life, without over-restricting, under-eating protein, or getting stuck in the elimination phase forever.

You’ll learn:

  • Why low FODMAP + vegetarian feels so restrictive (and what’s really happening)
  • The biggest misconception about FODMAP food lists (this trips up almost everyone)
  • How portion sizes + food stacking can trigger symptoms — even with “safe” foods
  • A simple framework to build meals that are balanced, filling, and gut-friendly
  • How to get enough protein without worsening symptoms
  • Why you might still feel bloated, even when you’re “doing everything right”
  • When low FODMAP isn’t enough, and what deeper issues to look for (SIBO, motility, digestion)
  • The exact mistakes keeping people stuck in elimination for months (or years)

If you’ve ever tried to follow a low FODMAP diet as a vegetarian, you’ve probably had this exact thought: “What am I even supposed to eat?” Because the foods you rely on most are suddenly the very things you're told to avoid. And that’s where the frustration starts. In this episode, Alyssa breaks down how to actually make a low FODMAP vegetarian diet work in real life, without over-restricting, under-eating protein, or getting stuck in the elimination phase forever.

You’ll learn:

  • Why low FODMAP + vegetarian feels so restrictive (and what’s really happening)
  • The biggest misconception about FODMAP food lists (this trips up almost everyone)
  • How portion sizes + food stacking can trigger symptoms — even with “safe” foods
  • A simple framework to build meals that are balanced, filling, and gut-friendly
  • How to get enough protein without worsening symptoms
  • Why you might still feel bloated, even when you’re “doing everything right”
  • When low FODMAP isn’t enough, and what deeper issues to look for (SIBO, motility, digestion)
  • The exact mistakes keeping people stuck in elimination for months (or years)

If you’ve ever started antibiotics, herbals, or an elemental diet, and suddenly felt more bloated, more fatigued, and completely off, this episode will explain exactly why. We’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood parts of SIBO recovery: die-off (Herxheimer reaction).

You’ll learn:

  • What endotoxins are and why they trigger symptoms
  • Why SIBO die-off affects your whole body (not just your gut)
  • The 2 main types of die-off symptoms (digestive vs systemic)
  • The typical timeline (why symptoms often start around day 2–5)
  • How yeast (SIFO/candida) changes the pattern completely
  • Why constipation makes die-off significantly worse
  • The truth about “pushing through” (and why it backfires)
  • How to properly ramp dosing to avoid overwhelming your system
  • The role of binders, hydration, and bile flow in detox support
  • When symptoms are not die-off and you need to pivot

Your symptoms aren’t just physical, and not just “in your head” either. In this episode, Alyssa sits down with nervous system expert Alex Mufson to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic symptoms: The nervous system as a full-body regulator, not just a stress response.

If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while dealing with real symptoms like bloating, fatigue, anxiety, or unexplained pain, this conversation will connect the dots.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why the nervous system and physical symptoms cannot be separated
  • How blood sugar dysregulation can drive anxiety, scarcity thoughts, and emotional patterns
  • The concept of “downstream vs upstream” symptoms (and why this changes everything)
  • What epigenetics and in utero exposure means (and how your ancestors’ experiences may affect your health today)
  • How to interpret labs through a regulatory lens vs output lens
  • Real case examples of how deeper testing uncovers hidden root causes

If you’ve taken antibiotics like rifaximin for SIBO and found yourself right back where you started, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common patterns we see in practice, and it’s also one of the most frustrating. 

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down what’s actually happening beneath the surface when symptoms return, and why repeating the same approach often leads to the same outcome. You’ll learn how different SIBO patterns behave, why treatment sometimes only scratches the surface, and what’s often missing from conventional care that leads to relapse.

We’ll cover:

  • The 3 biggest reasons SIBO relapses after rifaximin
  • Why different types of SIBO (hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide) require different approaches
  • How bacterial load impacts treatment success
  • Why one round of antibiotics is often not enough
  • The underlying drivers that must be addressed to prevent relapse

Dr. Debi Silber Can Betrayal & Trauma Affect Your Gut? The Hidden Link Between Betrayal & Digestive Issues ft. Dr. Debi Silber Send us Fan Mail

What if your gut symptoms weren’t just about food, but about something much deeper? In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Dr. Debbie Silber, founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, to explore the powerful and often overlooked connection between betrayal, trauma, and gut health.

After experiencing profound personal betrayal, Dr. Debbie went on to complete groundbreaking PhD research, uncovering a completely new framework for healing, one that explains why many people stay stuck physically, emotionally, and even digestively for years.

Together, they unpack how betrayal impacts the body, why it creates a unique type of trauma, and how it can show up as chronic digestive issues like IBS, bloating, and inflammation.

You’ll learn about:

  • Why betrayal is a different type of trauma that requires a different healing approach
  • What post-betrayal syndrome is and how it affects physical health (including the gut)
  • The surprising link between trauma and digestive conditions
  • The 5 stages of healing after betrayal, and where most people get stuck
  • Why time alone doesn’t heal trauma, and what actually does

Guest bio: Dr. Debi Silber, Founder and CEO of The PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and National Forgiveness Day, is an award-winning speaker, 2-time #1 International bestselling author, and host of From Betrayal to Breakthrough (top 1.5% globally). Her groundbreaking PhD study revealed 3 discoveries that completely revolutionized our understanding of betrayal and full healing. Creator of the world's #1 betrayal recovery certification for life, business, health, and leadership coaches, she's been featured on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, and TEDx (twice). But what makes Dr. Debi's message truly resonate is her own story. After spending the early part of her 34-year career as a lifestyle coach, a devastating personal betrayal sent her into a PhD program — and into discoveries that transformed both her life and her field. Her journey through all five stages is the living proof behind the research, and the reason her message reaches anyone who has ever wondered if they will truly be okay again.

Have you ever tried to do everything right for your gut - add more fiber, eat more vegetables, sprinkle chia seeds on everything, only to feel worse instead of better? There are times when pushing fiber can actually make symptoms more uncomfortable, more urgent, and more unpredictable. 

In this episode, Alyssa talks about temporarily lowering fiber to help the gut calm down during a flare. You’ll learn when a short-term low fiber approach can be helpful, what foods tend to feel gentler during that phase, and how to rebuild fiber tolerance later without triggering another setback.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why increasing fiber sometimes makes digestive symptoms worse
  • What a low fiber diet actually means (and what it doesn’t)
  • Situations where temporarily lowering fiber can help calm the gut
  • Foods that are typically easier to tolerate during digestive flares
  • How long to stay low fiber before rebuilding tolerance
  • A practical approach to reintroducing fiber without triggering symptoms

Have you ever tried to do everything right for your gut - add more fiber, eat more vegetables, sprinkle chia seeds on everything, only to feel worse instead of better? There are times when pushing fiber can actually make symptoms more uncomfortable, more urgent, and more unpredictable. 

In this episode, Alyssa talks about temporarily lowering fiber to help the gut calm down during a flare. You’ll learn when a short-term low fiber approach can be helpful, what foods tend to feel gentler during that phase, and how to rebuild fiber tolerance later without triggering another setback.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why increasing fiber sometimes makes digestive symptoms worse
  • What a low fiber diet actually means (and what it doesn’t)
  • Situations where temporarily lowering fiber can help calm the gut
  • Foods that are typically easier to tolerate during digestive flares
  • How long to stay low fiber before rebuilding tolerance
  • A practical approach to reintroducing fiber without triggering symptoms

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down the most common misconceptions about the diverticulosis diet and explains what current research actually shows about fiber, seeds, nuts, and everyday eating patterns. Many people unintentionally mix up diverticulosis and diverticulitis, even though the dietary approaches for these two conditions are very different.  You’ll learn why much of the advice circulating online comes from outdated guidelines, and how that confusion often leads to unnecessary food fear and restrictive eating.

You’ll learn:

  • The key difference between diverticulosis and diverticulitis
  • Why the long-standing advice to avoid nuts, seeds, popcorn, and corn is outdated
  • How fiber actually supports colon health, and why pace matters
  • Why constipation and pressure in the colon play a major role in diverticulitis risk
  • How a Mediterranean-style eating pattern supports long-term gut health
  • The most common mistakes people make when trying to follow a diverticulosis diet
  • What a realistic, supportive day of eating looks like

If you’ve been avoiding foods out of fear or feeling unsure how to build meals after a diverticulosis diagnosis, this episode will help you approach food with more clarity, confidence, and calm.

  • The hidden role of the nervous system in gut symptoms
  • How emotional safety directly impacts digestive function
  • The most common ways loved ones accidentally increase stress
  • The difference between symptom management and true root cause work

Fiber is everywhere right now. It’s being praised as the answer for gut health, blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, and weight regulation, often all at once. And yet, for many people, actually trying to eat more fiber leads to the opposite of what they expected: bloating, discomfort, gas, or pain.

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks why the conversation around fiber has become so confusing, and why so many well-intentioned people feel worse when they follow generic “eat more fiber” advice.

You’ll learn:

  • Why more fiber isn’t always better
  • Soluble vs insoluble fiber (and why both matter)
  • Fermentable fiber, resistant starch, and tolerance
  • How fiber supports gut bacteria, bile flow, hormones, and blood sugar
  • Why fiber can help with constipation and diarrhea
  • How to add fiber without bloating or gas
  • When a high fiber diet is not the right starting point

In this episode, Alyssa takes the conversation around hydrogen sulfide SIBO one level deeper. She shares how hydrogen sulfide SIBO is actually approached in practice, and why jumping ahead, whether to antimicrobials, binders, or protocols, often makes symptoms worse instead of better.

Rather than focusing on “what to take,” Alyssa breaks down the sequence that matters:

  • Why clarity has to come before treatment
  • Why symptom calming isn’t the same as healing (but still matters)
  • Why motility, bile flow, and timing quietly determine whether progress sticks
    And why rebuilding the gut too early is one of the most common reasons people relapse

Along the way, she explains why hydrogen sulfide SIBO is so reactive, why some people feel better but flare easily, and why the same tool can help one person while flaring another, depending entirely on when it’s used.

  2. Download Alyssa’s Low Sulfur Diet guide - a short-term trial to reduce meal-time overwhelm, observe meaningful patterns, and understand whether sulfur is contributing to how you feel.

Have you ever looked at your plate and thought, “I’m eating less than ever… so why is my weight going up?” If you’ve tried low-FODMAP, cut sugar and carbs, cleaned up your diet, and somehow feel heavier, slower, and more inflamed, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Alyssa dives into one of the most confusing and overlooked patterns in gut health: why some people with SIBO experience weight gain instead of weight loss, and why everything you’ve been told to do might actually be working against you. Alyssa explains why not all SIBO behaves the same, and how a specific subtype can quietly change how your body handles food, energy, and inflammation.

You will learn:

  • Why common SIBO advice often doesn’t apply to this pattern
  • What it means when your body seems to “hold onto” weight
  • Why digestion can feel heavier and more reactive the harder you try
  • Where diet helps, and where it can quietly backfire

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues Podcast, Alyssa Simpson sits down with her client Doug, who shares his powerful journey from being house-bound and limited to a “safe” diet of chicken and rice, to reclaiming his gut health, his confidence, and his life.

What started as a frustrating case of “IBS with no answers” turned out to be Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO, a form of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that’s often missed on standard breath tests and misdiagnosed as IBS, anxiety, or stress.

Alyssa and Doug unpack what it really takes to identify and treat this overlooked condition, from testing and dietary strategy to motility support and rebuilding tolerance, showing that recovery is not only possible, it’s life-changing.

What You’ll Learn

  • How Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO differs from other types of SIBO.
  • Common but often missed symptoms include bloating and diarrhea, fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain.
  • The real reason restrictive diets often make things worse.
  • Steps to test, identify, and treat Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO effectively.
  • A firsthand look at what long-term gut healing and food reintroduction actually look like.

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues Podcast, Alyssa Simpson sits down with her client Doug, who shares his powerful journey from being house-bound and limited to a “safe” diet of chicken and rice, to reclaiming his gut health, his confidence, and his life.

What started as a frustrating case of “IBS with no answers” turned out to be Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO, a form of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that’s often missed on standard breath tests and misdiagnosed as IBS, anxiety, or stress.

Alyssa and Doug unpack what it really takes to identify and treat this overlooked condition, from testing and dietary strategy to motility support and rebuilding tolerance, showing that recovery is not only possible, it’s life-changing.

What You’ll Learn

  • How Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO differs from other types of SIBO.
  • Common but often missed symptoms include bloating and diarrhea, fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain.
  • The real reason restrictive diets often make things worse.
  • Steps to test, identify, and treat Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO effectively.
  • A firsthand look at what long-term gut healing and food reintroduction actually look like.

In this episode, Alyssa Simpson unpacks a common yet widely misunderstood subtype of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO): hydrogen sulfide SIBO. Many people with this pattern have spent years chasing answers, trying diets like low FODMAP, gluten-free, or low-carb, cycling through symptom management, and being told tests are normal, only to feel worse, confused, or convinced there’s no solution in sight.

Alyssa breaks down:

  • What hydrogen sulfide SIBO is and isn’t
  • Why it behaves differently than hydrogen or methane dominant SIBO
  • Why symptoms can be unpredictable, systemic, and not limited to the gut
  • How conventional testing and treatment often miss it
  • How to think about diet, testing, and targeted functional approaches

If you’ve ever felt like your digestive symptoms just don’t make sense, fluctuating between diarrhea, constipation, bloating, brain fog, fatigue, or body pain, this episode will help you finally connect the dots.

Have you tried low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free, or elimination diets and still feel sick after eating? In this episode, Alyssa Simpson breaks down one of the most confusing and misunderstood nutrition strategies in gut health: the low sulfur diet.

This is not an episode about cutting out “bad foods” or following another restrictive diet forever. Instead, Alyssa explains why a short, strategic low-sulfur diet trial can be a powerful clarity tool for people who feel deeply unwell after eating, especially those who have already tried low FODMAP, gluten-free, dairy-free, or elimination diets with little to no relief.

She walks listeners through what sulfur actually is, why the body normally needs it, and why some people suddenly stop tolerating sulfur-rich foods that are otherwise considered healthy. Along the way, Alyssa shares real client stories that reveal how sulfur overload and hydrogen sulfide activity in the gut can explain symptoms that feel random, cyclical, or impossible to predict.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • When a low-sulfur diet trial makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
  • Common high-sulfur foods to temporarily reduce
  • Low-sulfur foods that are often easier to tolerate during the trial
  • Why protein does not need to be eliminated
  • Supplements that may quietly increase sulfur load
  • Why improvement during the trial is a clue, not a diagnosis
  • How breath testing can help confirm hydrogen sulfide involvement

In this episode, Alyssa Simpson chats with Dylan McDonnell, founder of Foodini, about how technology and regulation are finally making restaurant dining safer and more transparent.

Dylan shares his personal experience growing up with celiac disease and how it inspired him to create Foodini: a platform that gives diners real ingredient and allergen data so they can confidently choose what’s safe to eat. They discuss why food allergies are rising, why restaurants struggle with allergen accuracy, and how new laws in California could change the future of dining nationwide.

If you’ve ever avoided restaurants because of gut symptoms, food allergies, or fear of cross-contamination, this episode offers clarity, validation, and hope.

Watch to learn:

  • Why food allergies and intolerances are becoming more common
  • Why restaurant menus are so hard to trust
  • How personalized allergen-safe menus work
  • What the new California food allergy law means for diners
  • How to advocate for safer, more inclusive dining

She breaks down how issues like candida overgrowth, biofilm formation, yeast-driven sugar cravings, inflammation, and toxic burden interfere with metabolism and make weight loss nearly impossible, no matter what you eat.

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks a connection that many people don’t realize is at the heart of their gut health struggles: the tight interplay between constipation, liver overload, and sleep disruption.

If you wake up between 1–3 AM, feel sluggish, bloated, or totally backed up the next day, this episode is for you. In this episode, Alyssa explains the powerful (and often overlooked) link between constipation, liver stress, and sleep disruption, and how real food and simple rituals can help break the cycle.

What you’ll learn in this video:

  • Why constipation isn’t just a digestion issue and why it can overload your liver, disrupt detox, and mess with your sleep.
  • How poorly timed or “healthy-but-not-helpful” meals (like super high fiber or too-light dinners) make things worse.
  • The three-part framework Alyssa calls Relax, Release, Replenish, and how to eat to relax your nervous system, gently release waste, and replenish vital nutrients.
  • Simple, doable evening meal and snack ideas to support motility, liver detox, and stable blood sugar overnight.
  • A no-supplement-needed food strategy that can help your body reset over time.

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks a connection that many people don’t realize is at the heart of their gut health struggles: the tight interplay between constipation, liver overload, and sleep disruption.

If you wake up between 1–3 AM, feel sluggish, bloated, or totally backed up the next day, this episode is for you. In this episode, Alyssa explains the powerful (and often overlooked) link between constipation, liver stress, and sleep disruption, and how real food and simple rituals can help break the cycle.

What you’ll learn in this video:

  • Why constipation isn’t just a digestion issue and why it can overload your liver, disrupt detox, and mess with your sleep.
  • How poorly timed or “healthy-but-not-helpful” meals (like super high fiber or too-light dinners) make things worse.
  • The three-part framework Alyssa calls Relax, Release, Replenish, and how to eat to relax your nervous system, gently release waste, and replenish vital nutrients.
  • Simple, doable evening meal and snack ideas to support motility, liver detox, and stable blood sugar overnight.
  • A no-supplement-needed food strategy that can help your body reset over time.

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the biggest myths in wellness: that your body needs a “cleanse” or “detox tea” to reset. If you’ve ever skipped meals, done a juice fast, or spent money on detox kits, thinking you’re helping your liver and gut,  this one’s for you. Alyssa explains what actually happens to your digestion, metabolism, and liver when you restrict food and why those “gut resets” can backfire, leaving you feeling more bloated, fatigued, and inflamed. 

You’ll learn how to truly support your body’s detox systems instead of working against them with real, satisfying food that gives your gut and liver the raw materials they need to thrive.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why fasting or juice cleanses can slow detox and worsen bloating
  • The 9 everyday habits that block your body’s detox pathways (and how to fix them)
  • The truth about alcohol, stress, and poor sleep on gut-liver function
  • What your liver actually needs to detox naturally, and it’s not a supplement
  • How to build fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats into every meal
  • Simple food swaps that help your gut clear waste naturally

  • Why it causes bloating, constipation, and sluggish digestion
  • How stress, surgeries, and medications set the stage for overgrowth
  • Why standard tests often miss methane overgrowth
  • What testing options and diet changes can help you finally move forward

You will get clarity on:

  1. Why gut healing often stalls unless you also address the nervous system
  2. How trauma (big or subtle) can embed in your body and alter stress patterns
  3. The structure of Primal Trust’s programs (Regulate, Level 2, Level 3)
  4. Practical tools like V-breath, pattern interrupts, somatic orienting, and daily “nervous system reset” techniques
  5. What kind of changes you might begin to notice, and in what timeframe — and how to integrate this healing work into daily life

In this episode, Alyssa Simpson breaks down one of the most confusing gut health struggles: why nourishing foods like vegetables, lentils, or garlic can suddenly trigger bloating, gas, cramping, or flare-ups. 

Alyssa explains the surprising reasons behind this — from gut inflammation and bacterial overgrowth (like SIBO) to histamine intolerance, food sensitivities, and sluggish digestion. More importantly, she shares practical, hope-filled strategies you can use right now to calm your symptoms and start building a more resilient gut.

You’ll learn:

  • Why high-fiber “gut healthy” foods can backfire during a flare
  • How bacterial fermentation (FODMAPs, SIBO, and dysbiosis) leads to gas, bloating, and urgency
  • The role of histamine intolerance, food sensitivities, and inflammation in food reactions
  • Pantry staples that could be secretly making your symptoms worse (like cinnamon, bone broth, and leftovers)
  • A flare-friendly food list to calm your gut and reduce symptoms fast
  • How to gradually reintroduce foods without fear using Alyssa’s “small plate strategy”
  • The power of “veggie mash” to rebuild microbial diversity and expand your diet safely

If you’ve ever felt discouraged or stuck eating the same 10 foods because everything else makes you flare, this episode will help you see that healing is possible.

  • Why vagus nerve dysfunction is the “missing link” in gut and autonomic issues
  • The role of histamine, inflammation, and oxidative stress in driving symptoms
  • How POTS, SIBO, EDS, and long COVID overlap through nervous system dysfunction
  • Upper vs. lower GI motility—and why both matter for SIBO recovery
  • Hopeful starting points for those living with chronic illness

Alyssa dives deep into constipation, busts myths, and shows what really moves the needle when your gut is sluggish.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Which foods (even “healthy” ones) can slow down digestion, especially when your gut is already struggling.
  • How to use cooked veggies, soluble fiber, and hydration strategically so your supplements or laxatives don’t work against you.
  • Why pairing fiber without sufficient water or spacing supplements and meals properly can backfire.
  • Simple daily habits — like eating schedule, gentle movement, chewing more — that support motility (your gut’s “get moving” power).
  • How imbalances like methane overgrowth or yeast (candida) might be silently sabotaging your progress if the basics aren’t working.

Histamine intolerance might feel like the final answer, but what if it’s really just the tip of the iceberg?

In this episode, Alyssa sits down with Jennifer Fugo, MS, LDN, CNS — a clinical nutritionist and host of the Healthy Skin Show — to uncover the real root causes behind histamine intolerance and chronic skin issues. 

They uncover why antihistamines don’t always help, why low histamine diets often fail long-term, and what hidden root causes could be driving your symptoms instead. From gut infections and parasites to thyroid issues and skin dysbiosis, they dig into the overlooked triggers that keep people stuck in flare cycles.

They also talk about the surprising gut-brain-skin connection, why stool tests often miss what’s really happening, and the steps you can take to move toward true resilience and food freedom — not just restriction and supplements.

If you’ve ever been stuck on chicken and rice because everything else feels like a trigger, this conversation will feel familiar.

  2. How over-restriction can worsen sensitivities and nutrient gaps
  3. What balanced meals for SIBO actually look like
  4. How to reintroduce foods without constant flares
  5. Practical steps to feed your microbiome back to resilience

If your gut feels unpredictable — flaring up at random foods, reacting to stress, or leaving you anxious about your next meal — your digestion is NOT broken. Your gut just needs retraining.

In this episode, Alyssa explains how you can “teach” your gut to become more tolerant, flexible, and resilient — and why waiting for the “perfect time” to start often makes things worse.

You’ll discover:
✅ Why avoidance and restriction can reinforce gut sensitivity
✅ How to reintroduce foods without triggering setbacks
✅ The role your brain and nervous system play in gut “behavior”
✅ Why delaying gut healing allows symptoms to become harder to reverse

Your gut is capable of change, but only if you start working with it instead of tiptoeing around it. This episode shows you how.

Eating five “safe” foods and tracking symptoms isn’t healing your gut –  it’s managing your symptoms.

If you’re eating the same few foods, timing meals, keeping food journals, planning outings around bathrooms, or leaning on supplements just to get through a meal… you’re not healing. You’re surviving. And while that may work short-term, it keeps you stuck in “management mode” — which makes true healing feel further and further away.

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues, Alyssa breaks down:

  • The difference between symptom management vs. real healing
  • Why “safe lists” + hyper-tracking keep you trapped
  • What actual gut healing looks like
  • The mindset shift you need to move from fear to freedom.

Because healing your gut isn’t about avoiding life — it’s about building resilience so you can live it fully again.

In this episode, host Alyssa Simpson is joined by GI psychologist and gut-brain expert Dr. Navidi to explore one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic digestive issues: the gut-brain connection.

They dive into a category of conditions known as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs)—which include IBS, bloating, reflux, functional constipation, nausea, and more. Millions live with these diagnoses without realizing their symptoms are being driven, not just by food, but by nervous system dysregulation. If your symptoms persist even after eliminating triggers, trying meds, or running every test, this episode explains why—and what to do next.

About Dr. Navidi

Dr. Ali Navidi is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, a multi-state center treating gut-brain disorders and chronic pain. He’s also a hypnosis trainer and past president of the Northern Virginia Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Navidi has presented at top institutions including UNC School of Medicine, INOVA, and Georgetown University, helping clinicians and patients understand the gut-brain connection.

In this episode, host Alyssa Simpson is joined by GI psychologist and gut-brain expert Dr. Navidi to explore one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic digestive issues: the gut-brain connection.

They dive into a category of conditions known as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs)—which include IBS, bloating, reflux, functional constipation, nausea, and more. Millions live with these diagnoses without realizing their symptoms are being driven, not just by food, but by nervous system dysregulation. If your symptoms persist even after eliminating triggers, trying meds, or running every test, this episode explains why—and what to do next.

About Dr. Navidi

Dr. Ali Navidi is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, a multi-state center treating gut-brain disorders and chronic pain. He’s also a hypnosis trainer and past president of the Northern Virginia Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Navidi has presented at top institutions including UNC School of Medicine, INOVA, and Georgetown University, helping clinicians and patients understand the gut-brain connection.

In this episode of Gut Health Dialogues, we dive into the client journey of Diana Hough, a 70-year-old who spent 20 years battling what she thought was irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). 

After undergoing countless tests and experiencing constant setbacks, including missing out on her granddaughter’s wedding, Diana found herself at a crossroads—struggling with chronic diarrhea, debilitating anxiety, and unexpected health issues post-gallbladder removal.

Her story unfolds with raw honesty as she describes how her symptoms, including brain fog and body aches, went beyond digestive discomfort. 

After years of uncertainty, Diana turned to a functional approach and discovered the root of her issues: hydrogen sulfide overgrowth in her gut. Through a mix of dietary changes, targeted probiotics, and patience, she regained control of her life, feeling "normal" for the first time in decades.

Tune in to hear how Diana’s journey can inspire your own, offering hope for those who’ve hit dead ends in traditional medicine. This conversation is more than a testimonial—it’s proof that gut health can be restored and vitality regained.

In this episode of “The Gut Health Dialogues” Podcast, Alyssa explores the relationship between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). If you're dealing with tummy troubles or want to understand more about IBS and SIBO, this episode is for you. Alyssa simplifies complex ideas and offers practical steps to improve your gut health.

Episode Highlights

What's IBS?
Alyssa explains that IBS can cause stomach pain, bloating, and changes in bathroom habits. It impacts daily life and can be frustrating. The diagnosis relies on symptoms and no specific test for it.

Meet SIBO:
SIBO is like a party of bacteria where they shouldn't be—your small intestine. This can cause inflammation, absorption issues, and more problems. Symptoms are similar to IBS, making it tricky to distinguish.

IBS vs. SIBO:
Alyssa breaks down the differences. IBS is based on symptoms, while SIBO can be tested with a breath test. The symptoms often overlap, making it challenging to figure out what's going on.

The Connection:
Alyssa shares her experience, having helped many clients with both IBS and SIBO. Research suggests a strong link between the two, with up to 80% of IBS patients also having SIBO.

Why Does it Happen?
The reasons aren't crystal clear, but Alyssa talks about some theories, like bacteria affecting digestive movement, triggering immune responses, and messing with the gut-brain connection.

Alyssa's Approach:
Alyssa introduces her unique way of handling IBS and SIBO using functional medicine. She talks about the "five R's": Remove, Reinforce, Replete, Re-inoculate, and Repair. It's a holistic approach focused on long-term solutions.

In this episode of “The Gut Health Dialogues” Podcast, Alyssa explores the relationship between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). If you're dealing with tummy troubles or want to understand more about IBS and SIBO, this episode is for you. Alyssa simplifies complex ideas and offers practical steps to improve your gut health.

Episode Highlights

What's IBS?
Alyssa explains that IBS can cause stomach pain, bloating, and changes in bathroom habits. It impacts daily life and can be frustrating. The diagnosis relies on symptoms and no specific test for it.

Meet SIBO:
SIBO is like a party of bacteria where they shouldn't be—your small intestine. This can cause inflammation, absorption issues, and more problems. Symptoms are similar to IBS, making it tricky to distinguish.

IBS vs. SIBO:
Alyssa breaks down the differences. IBS is based on symptoms, while SIBO can be tested with a breath test. The symptoms often overlap, making it challenging to figure out what's going on.

The Connection:
Alyssa shares her experience, having helped many clients with both IBS and SIBO. Research suggests a strong link between the two, with up to 80% of IBS patients also having SIBO.

Why Does it Happen?
The reasons aren't crystal clear, but Alyssa talks about some theories, like bacteria affecting digestive movement, triggering immune responses, and messing with the gut-brain connection.

Alyssa's Approach:
Alyssa introduces her unique way of handling IBS and SIBO using functional medicine. She talks about the "five R's": Remove, Reinforce, Replete, Re-inoculate, and Repair. It's a holistic approach focused on long-term solutions.

In today's episode of Gut Health Dialogues, Alyssa delves into a crucial topic - how to effectively manage IBS flare-ups that may arise after indulging in holiday meals. With the holiday season often presenting challenges to dietary routines, Alyssa provides insightful tips and strategies to navigate these situations while maintaining gut health.

Episode Highlights

Navigating Good Intentions:
Alyssa acknowledges that despite good intentions and a solid plan to adhere to a specialized or low FODMAP diet during the holidays, unexpected situations may arise. Whether it's a forgotten ingredient or succumbing to a childhood favorite, Alyssa reassures listeners that she's here to support, not shame.

Dealing with the Consequences:
Alyssa discusses the potential consequences of deviating from the dietary plan, emphasizing that stress, a common trigger for IBS symptoms, should be managed effectively. Understanding the two parts of the enteric nervous system – sympathetic and parasympathetic –she encourages listeners to stay calm and shares tips on shifting from fight or flight to rest and digest mode.

Calming Techniques:
Alyssa provides practical advice on calming techniques, including deep breathing exercises, time in nature, and walking. These activities help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, optimizing digestion and reducing stress during holiday meals.

Remedies Toolkit:
Alyssa discusses a toolkit for managing IBS flare-ups, featuring remedies such as enteric-coated peppermint oil, fennel, caraway, anise seed tea, and slippery elm. While not personalized recommendations, these remedies are safe and readily available for mitigating symptoms.

Dietary Adjustments:
Alyssa advises listeners to adjust their diets back to tolerated foods as soon as possible after a flare-up. Utilizing low FODMAP apps, such as Monash University or Spoonful, can aid in making informed dietary choices to calm symptoms.

Heat Therapy:
Exploring the benefits of heat therapy, Alyssa recommends using a hot water bottle or heating pad on the abdomen to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relax gut muscles. Alternatively, sitting in a warm bath provides a soothing effect for the entire body.

Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy:
Alyssa introduces the concept of gut-directed hypnotherapy, a research-based approach developed by Monash University. It aids in creating a positive relationship between the gut and brain, calming IBS symptoms. Listeners can explore apps like Nerva for guided visualizations.

As the episode wraps up, Alyssa reassures listeners that managing IBS flare-ups is possible with the right strategies and mindset. The key is to approach the situation calmly, utilize effective techniques, and make informed choices for better gut health.

In Episode 1 of the “Gut Health Dialogues,” my client Kim shares her experience of dealing with severe stomach issues, anxiety, and limitations in her daily life.

Kim experienced debilitating stomach problems that compromised her daily life. Traditional treatments, including medications and dietary changes, provided only temporary relief for her.

Her stomach issues triggered anxiety and fear, especially in situations where access to a bathroom was uncertain. This anxiety created a cycle, worsening the symptoms and impacting Kim's mental well-being.

Despite being an active member of her community, this fear of symptoms restricted her from participating in social and recreational activities. A personal recommendation from Kim’s GI specialist led Kim to Alyssa, a Registered Dietitian and Integrative Nutrition Therapist.

Alyssa conducted extensive testing to understand Kim's gut health, including enzyme levels, microbial balance, and other relevant factors, which helped her identify specific issues contributing to Kim's digestive challenges.

Here’s how Alyssa guided her on a path to recovery:

  • Introduced Kim to the FODMAP elimination diet to identify and eliminate specific food triggers.
  • Developed a customized diet plan tailored to Kim's unique needs.
  • Addressed deficiencies and imbalances through individualized supplements.
  • Introduced gut-directed hypnotherapy to help Kim retrain her thinking and manage anxiety.
  • Implemented deep breathing strategies and mindfulness techniques to address the mind-gut connection.
  • Provided Kim with extensive education on gut health concepts, FODMAPs, and nutritional principles.
  • Supplied tools such as apps and resources to empower Kim to make informed choices about her diet and lifestyle.

With Alyssa’s support, Kim has now regained the ability to participate in daily activities without the fear of unpredictable digestive issues and has achieved a 90% improvement in overall gut health, restoring joy and freedom in her life.

Hope you enjoyed today’s episode.
