Let's Talk Thyroid Annabel Bateman

The topic of gut health comes up often on this show. It's important to revisit it because for everyone with an autoimmune thyroid condition, there will be be leaky gut and other gut issues to be dealt with.

In this episode, I talk with Donna Monthei, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian about a range of gut health topics including:

- Donna's personal Hashimoto's story and then gut issue after taking 2 different antibiotics.

- The gut-thyroid and gut-autoimmunity connection.

- How to test for leaky gut and other gut issues.

- The impact of antibiotics on the gut.

- Parasites - what they are, how to know if you have one and should everyone do a parasite cleanse?

- Ways to take your thyroid meds that bypass the digestive system, where appropriate.

What is ONE THING you can take away from this episode?

There are a variety of digestive issues associated with thyroid health including (but I'm afraid, not limited to) leaky gut, constipation, reflux, bloating, malabsorption, strong coeliac connection, irritable bowel syndrome and SIBO. SIBO certainly isn't limited to those with thyroid conditions, so share this episode with anyone you know with SIBO as it will benefit them regardless of their thyroid health.
Today's podcast discussion is a deep dive into SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth). To help me do this, I'm joined by The SIBO Coach, Jen Yundt Coles. We cover:
Jen's personal experience with SIBOWhat is SIBO?How is it different from other gut problems?What symptoms should people be aware of?How do you test for SIBO?How to you treat or manage SIBO? Traditional approach, diet, essential oils & herbs.Foods to avoid when managing SIBO.The importance of stress management for digestion.Is SIBO something that’s ongoing or can you ‘get rid of it’?If you think you might have SIBO, do get tested, it is a tricky digestive beast to deal with!
Jen Yundt Coles is an AFMC Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Certified Acupressure Practitioner. She loves inspiring and guiding her clients to optimal health and wellness through promoting positive food & lifestyle changes. Jen was on her own healing journey for over a decade -- first finding out she was gluten-intolerant, struggling with debilitating abdominal pain and fibromyalgia, as well as overcoming SIBO, Candida and chronic stress. Jen loves to support those feeling stuck in a revolving door of infection.
She is a mother of two active & creative teenagers. She is currently based in Sacremento & enjoys practicing Tai Chi and playing guitar for a her sanity. She is a writer, home renovator and on a personal and professional mission to live a life with more energy, clarity and a real joy.
