E52: Bloating, Food Fear & Feeling Dismissed by Your Doctor: Why It’s Time to Advocate for Your Gut Health
If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling dismissed, unheard, or still stuck in a cycle of bloating and food reactions—you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by Naturopath and Nutritionist Alana Bonneman, host of the Health After 30 Podcast, to dive deep into why so many women feel like they have to be their own health advocate—and how to actually start getting to the root cause of your symptoms.
We talk about how bloating, food fear, and constant food reactions (like gluten or dairy sensitivity) are often symptoms of something deeper—not a life sentence. Alana shares how you can begin to heal without falling into restrictive protocols or labeling foods as "good" or "bad," and why that mindset could actually be making your symptoms worse.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your symptoms, frustrated with traditional practitioners, or just want to feel good in your body again—this conversation is for you.
Tune in to learn:
- What to do when you feel unheard by your doctor or practitioner
- Why bloating and food reactions are symptoms, not the root issue
- How to stop fearing food and start enjoying life again
- Why your relationship with food matters just as much as what you eat
