    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  Still constipated… even though you’re doing everything “right”? If magnesium, fiber, and probiotics haven’t worked, you’re likely missing the root cause.

    Ep. 106: What if its not SIBO, but SIFO? How fungus plays a role in GI symptoms

    If you’ve treated SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) before and either nothing changed… or things got worse… this episode is for you! Because what if it’s not just bacterial overgrowth? 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.

    Ep. 105: You are positive for SIBO, now what?

    If you’ve ever been told you have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and immediately felt overwhelmed by what to do next, this episode is for you. Because while a diagnosis can feel like a relief after being told “everything is normal,” it often leads to more confusion: antibiotics, elimination diets, supplements… and still no clear plan. In this episode, Dr. Heather is breaking down what actually matters after a SIBO diagnosis and why so many people stay stuck in the cycle of temporary relief and recurring symptoms. We’re shifting the focus away from just “killing bacteria” and toward understanding why the overgrowth happened in the first place, so you can take a more strategic, sustainable approach to healing. You’ll learn:  • The biggest mistake people make right after a SIBO diagnosis  • Why antibiotics alone often don’t prevent SIBO from coming back  • The different types of SIBO and why that changes treatment  • How restrictive diets can keep you stuck longer than you think  • The key systems that need to be supported for lasting results Still constipated… even though you’re doing everything “right”? If magnesium, fiber, and probiotics haven’t worked, you’re likely missing the root cause.

    Ep. 104: The Hidden Link Between SIBO, Iron & Ferritin

    Low ferritin and digestive issues like SIBO are often treated as completely separate problems. One is considered a blood lab issue, the other a gut issue. But clinically, these two patterns frequently overlap.  Many people struggling with SIBO, bloating, or constipation also find their ferritin stays stubbornly low despite taking iron supplements or increasing iron-rich foods.  In this episode, we unpack how digestion, the microbiome, stomach acid, and inflammation can all influence iron absorption and regulation. When you understand that all of your symptoms are connected by shared underlying root causes the path forward becomes clearer! In this episode, we discuss: Why ferritin sometimes stays low even when you are taking iron supplementsWhere iron absorption actually occurs in the digestive systemHow bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine can interfere with nutrient absorptionThe role inflammation and hepcidin play in regulating iron levelsWhy low stomach acid can contribute to both SIBO and poor iron absorptionEmerging research around hydrogen sulfide SIBO and mineral metabolismThe clinical patterns we often see in clients with both digestive issues and low ferritinIf you’ve ever wondered why your iron levels don’t seem to improve despite doing everything “right,” this episode will help you start connecting the dots. Still constipated… even though you’re doing everything “right”? If magnesium, fiber, and probiotics haven’t worked, you’re likely missing the root cause.

    Ep. 103: Why Most Women Aren’t Eating Enough Protein (And How It Impacts Your Gut) with Rachael DeVaux

    Protein is one of the most talked-about nutrients right now, but the conversation often misses the bigger picture. In this episode, Dr. Heather sits down with registered dietitian, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Rachael’s Good Eats, Rachael DeVaux, to talk about why protein matters for far more than muscle building. They break down how protein impacts blood sugar, digestion, cravings, and energy throughout the day and why so many women are unintentionally under-eating it. Rachael also shares practical strategies for building satisfying meals, reducing the 3PM crash, and supporting gut health without restrictive dieting or complicated tracking. If you’ve ever felt tired in the afternoon, constantly hungry between meals, or unsure how to actually eat enough protein without feeling overly full, this conversation will give you a simple place to start. In this episode, we cover: • Why many women are unknowingly under-eating protein • The connection between protein, blood sugar stability, and digestion • What the 3PM energy crash may be telling you about your meals • Why eating substantial meals can support gut motility and reduce bloating • How protein and fiber work together to support gut health • Practical ways to increase protein without feeling heavy or overwhelmed • Simple breakfast ideas that can stabilize energy for the entire day • Why reducing food stress can improve digestion and overall health Rachael also shares some of her favorite quick recipes from her new cookbook The High-Protein Plate, along with realistic tips for busy families who want nourishing meals without spending hours in the kitchen.

    Ep. 102: Food Poisoning, SIBO & IBS: It Wasn't "Just Food Poisoning"

    Have you ever said, “My stomach has never been the same since that trip…” or that questionable BBQ, honeymoon, or random meal that left you sick for days? Food poisoning isn’t always something you “just get over.” For many people, it’s the starting point of long-term bloating, urgency, constipation, food sensitivities, and anxiety around eating. In this episode, Dr. Heather breaks down why post-infectious IBS accounts for a significant percentage of IBS cases and how an acute infection can disrupt gut motility, immune signaling, stomach acid, bile flow, and mineral balance long after the initial illness passes. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of low FODMAP, antimicrobials, probiotics, and still feel six months pregnant by 5pm… this conversation will connect the dots. In This Episode, We Cover: The research behind post-infectious IBS and how food poisoning triggers long-term gut dysfunctionHow bacteria like Campylobacter, Salmonella, E. coli, and Shigella can disrupt motilityWhat happens to the migrating motor complex after infectionWhy bloating, SIBO, constipation, or diarrhea can linger for yearsThe role of stomach acid, bile flow, minerals, and the nervous system in recoveryWhat to do during acute food poisoningWhat to evaluate if symptoms are still present months (or years) laterIf you found this episode helpful, please leave a review and share it with someone whose gut has never quite been the same. Still constipated… even though you’re doing everything “right”? If magnesium, fiber, and probiotics haven’t worked, you’re likely missing the root cause.

    Ep. 101: If Magnesium Isn’t Working for Constipation, Here’s Why

    You started magnesium for constipation. It worked. And then… it didn’t. Now you’re increasing the dose, relying on it nightly, and wondering why your body won’t cooperate. Here’s the truth: if magnesium stopped working, it’s not because you need more of it. Magnesium can support bowel movements. But it doesn’t fix the reason your system slowed down in the first place. In this episode, I break down: • What magnesium actually does (and what it doesn’t) • The mineral patterns I see when it “stops working” • Why potassium, bile flow, and stress matter more than you think • How you can poop daily and still be constipated • What actually restores long-term rhythm instead of relying on stimulation Constipation is rarely just a colon issue. It’s often a top-down digestion issue. If you’re tired of bandaids and want a personalized, step-by-step plan to restore your digestion from the root, this is exactly the work we do inside gutTogether. Still constipated… even though you’re doing everything “right”? If magnesium, fiber, and probiotics haven’t worked, you’re likely missing the root cause.
