    Ep. 113: Why Your Iron Is Stuck & Ferritin Is High (And How Your Thyroid & Liver Play A Role) [PART 2: Iront & Ferritin series]

    Most people assume low ferritin means they need more iron. But what about the woman whose ferritin is actually high and she still feels exhausted, is still losing hair, and is still bloated every single day? That's the case this episode is built around, and it's one of the most important iron stories Heather has ever told (because it goes WAY beyond iron) This is Part 2 of a three-part series on iron, and it covers what happens after iron is absorbed and why it can still fail to reach the cells that need it. Dr. Heather walks through the case of her client Danielle who came to gutTogether eating clean, exercising consistently, and taking a carefully curated supplement stack and still couldn't figure out why her body felt so depleted. In this episode: Why a high ferritin doesn't automatically mean your body is iron replete and what elevated ferritin with low iron saturation actually signalsWhat ceruloplasmin is, why it's the missing link in most iron conversations, and how copper status determines whether iron can move at allHow long-term zinc supplementation without copper awareness quietly undermines iron transportWhy the body deliberately sequesters iron during infection and dysbiosis The thyroid-iron connection: how sluggish T3 conversion creates functional iron deficiency even when labs look "normal"Why the answer wasn't more iron and what actually started moving the needleThe interesting turn of events that contributed to a last minute addition to the episodeNext week: Part 3 covers iron storage and what has to be in place for ferritin to actually build and stay built, and why some women do everything right and still can't get above 30 Ready to fully address your iron issues and low ferritin?

    Ep. 112: Why You're Not Absorbing Iron (Even If You Are Supplementing) [PART 1 of Iron & Ferritin Series]

    If you've been taking iron consistently and your ferritin still won't move, this episode is going to help you understand why.  This is Part 1 of a three-part series on iron, and it starts where most ferritin problems actually begin: absorption. Dr. Heather walks through the case of her client Ashley, whose years of stress, grief, antibiotics, hormonal birth control, and mold exposure created a gut environment that couldn't absorb iron no matter how much she took. Dr. Heather also  breaks down exactly why iron intake is only one small piece of a much bigger system. In this episode: Why iron absorption depends on stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, bile flow, mineral status, and nervous system regulation, not just how much iron you're takingWhat Ashley's GI Map revealed, including H. pylori, C. diff, pathogenic E. coli, and a depleted four-lows mineral pattern on HTMAHow chronic stress physically changes digestive function and blocks absorptionPractical starting points to support absorption, including meal hygiene, stomach acid and bile support, and mineralsWhy iron supplementation needs to be timed to where your body actually is and what to look at if ferritin still isn't movingNext week: Part 2 covers iron transport: ceruloplasmin, copper, and why ferritin can stay low even when your iron looks normal on a blood panel.

    Ep. 111: Your Gas Has A Pattern, Here's How To Read It

    Gas is one of those symptoms people joke about publicly but privately can wreck your confidence, keep you anxious before meals, and make you dread situations that should feel normal. The thing is, gas isn't random. The smell, the timing, and the pattern are all clues, and once you know how to read them, you can stop guessing and start actually supporting your digestion. In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down the most common gas patterns, what they're pointing to underneath, and why removing more foods is rarely the answer. What we cover: Upper vs. lower gas and why the location mattersSulfur gas, dirty diaper gas, and chemical-smelling gas and what each pattern meansWhat SIBO actually is and why hydrogen and methane patterns look completely differentHow your nervous system is affecting your digestion more than you realizeSimple, practical things that move the needle without a strict protocolMentioned in this episode: Organic Olivia BittersEpisode 107: Burping, Gas, and Bloating: 5 Gut Clues You Can't IgnoreConnect + Next Steps Want daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?

    Ep. 110: Why It Feels Like Food Sits In Your Stomach Like A Brick

    That heavy, pressured, food-isn't-going-anywhere feeling after meals is one of the most exhausting GI symptoms to live with and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down why food can feel like it just sits in your stomach for hours, what's actually driving that slowdown, and why standard testing often misses it entirely. Digestion that is underpowered, depleted, or stuck in survival mode has a real path forward and this episode walks you through exactly what's going on. In This Episode Why the "brick in your stomach" feeling is a digestion slowdown, not a broken bodyWhat good digestion actually feels like and why low stomach acid is so often missedWhy "healthy foods" can sometimes make symptoms worseThe vagus nerve, nervous system, and why you can't fully digest in fight-or-flightA real client case study and why sequencing matters as much as the protocolConnect + Next Steps Want daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?

    Ep. 109: Heartburn Isn't Always A Stomach Acid Problem (Here's What It Actually Is)

    Reflux is one of the most common symptoms we see… and also one of the most misunderstood. Most people are told it’s either too much stomach acid or not enough, but many still feel stuck even after trying both approaches. In this episode, we take a step back and look at reflux through a more complete lens. While its easy to assume reflux means "too much" or "too little" acid, its more nuanced than that. It often involves how your body is handling it, including factors like pressure, motility, and how well that “lid” between your stomach and esophagus is functioning.  In this episode, Dr. Heather covers:  What reflux, heartburn, and GERD actually are  Where low stomach acid fits in   Why betaine HCl can sometimes make symptoms worse  How pressure, bloating, and motility influence reflux  The difference between typical reflux and upper reflux (LPR)  Hidden triggers like hiatal hernias, stress, and constipation  Simple, practical strategies to start reducing symptomsConnect + Next Steps Want daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?

    Ep. 108: Why You’re Still Constipated: The Low Stomach Acid Connection No One Talks About

    If you feel like your food just sits there like a brick or you’re bloated after meals, burping, dealing with reflux, or still constipated no matter what you try… There’s a good chance one of the most important parts of digestion is being overlooked. In this episode, we’re talking about low stomach acid: what it actually does, how to know if yours might be low, and why it can impact everything from bloating and reflux to constipation, iron levels, and even SIBO. Because here’s the truth: You can be taking magnesium, probiotics, fiber, or even iron…but if your digestion isn’t working well at the very top, your body may struggle to break down, absorb, and move food the way it should. This is one of the biggest patterns we see in women who feel like they’re doing everything right…but still have GI symptoms  Connect + Next Steps Want daily education, stories, and gut-friendly support?

In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, Dr. Heather Finley breaks down one of the most overlooked reasons women stay stuck with bloating, food reactions, sugar cravings, and “gut protocols” that never seem to fully work: SIFO, or small intestinal fungal overgrowth You’ll learn why SIFO can look a lot like SIBO, why it’s often missed, and why repeated antibiotics, low stomach acid, restrictive diets, and chronic stress can all create the kind of environment where fungal overgrowth can thrive.
