Welcome to another insightful episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the compelling story of Laurie, a Holistic Health Coach who has faced significant gut health challenges. Growing up in a relatively healthy household, Laurie never paid much attention to her diet—until college, when indulgent eating habits and a lack of physical activity led to a dramatic weight gain.

In a desperate attempt to shed the pounds, Laurie turned to extreme dieting, which unfortunately set off a cascade of gut issues, including severe bloating and constipation. Despite numerous visits to doctors, she found little relief and was often told that nothing was wrong or given temporary fixes in the form of pills.

Laurie shares her frustration with the conventional medical approach and her eventual decision to seek out a functional nutritionist. Through comprehensive testing, she discovered she had leaky gut and dysbiosis. Laurie recounts her journey towards healing through dietary changes and holistic strategies, offering valuable insights for anyone struggling with similar issues.
