-
- Health & Fitness
In this podcast episode, Dr. Shannon Scholl and Dr. Onyx Adegbola explore the fascinating world of the microbiome and the central conflict of how to treat IBS, while empowering their patients to be good stewards of their own gut bacteria and overcome their digestive symptoms.
"It is figure outable. It just takes time and interest. And I love a good puzzle. I think my strategy is really listening initially and getting a clue and then heading in that direction." - Dr. Shannon Scholl, Dr Onyx Adegbola
Dr. Scholl graduated Summa cum Laude from NC State and earned her medical doctorate and Masters in Public Health from UNC at Chapel Hill while raising her two girls. She was lucky enough to have several excellent mentors, including Doug Drossman of Rome Criteria fame. Dr. Drossman was an important early advocate for patients suffering from IBS, and his research into the causes of IBS-related abdominal pain continue to inform the modern treatment of this very frustrating illness. Dr. Scholl is proud to list him as one of her early influences. In addition to the Western medicine in which she trained at UNC, Dr. Scholl is well-versed in data-supported functional GI medicine, including leaky gut. She is proud to be "The Plant Fed Gut Masterclass" certified. When not talking endlessly about your microbiome and asking you if you eat enough vegetables, she enjoys spending time with her daughters, dogs and chickens.
Dr. Shannon Scholl and Dr. Onyx Adegbola had a shared passion for digestive health and IBS. They dedicated themselves to being able to spend more time with patients to understand their symptoms and figure out what the problem was. After years of research and dedication, they developed a new strategy to help those suffering from IBS and digestive issues. With their newfound knowledge, they are able to help patients with their digestive issues, provide them with validation, and empower them with the knowledge to be their own stewards of their health.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. Discover how to identify and treat IBS and the microbiome connection
2. Uncover how to use foods to support a healthy microbiome
3. Learn how to diagnose and treat bacterial overgrowth.
