    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 practitionerWhy bloating and food reactions are symptoms, not the root issueHow to stop fearing food and start enjoying life againWhy your relationship with food matters just as much as what you eat

    In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, I’m sharing the inspiring story of one of my clients who went from battling chronic diarrhea, bloating, and debilitating stomach pain to feeling confident, energized, and in control of her health—all without restrictive diets or expensive supplements.

    When she first came to me, she was afraid to eat, surviving on coffee and bingeing at dinner, and using THC to manage the pain. She was exhausted, dealing with daily brain fog, and struggling with anxiety and depression. Fast forward just two months into our program: her energy is up, brain fog is gone, and stomach pain is a thing of the past. She’s eating balanced meals, exercising regularly, and even meal-prepping while thriving as a busy business owner, wife, and mom of four.

    This transformation was possible with simple, sustainable diet and lifestyle changes that worked for her—no extreme protocols, no one-size-fits-all solutions. Tune in to hear how small, manageable steps can lead to big results and why creating a plan tailored to your life is the key to long-term success.

    If you’re tired of feeling bloated, fatigued, and stuck, this episode is proof that change is possible without sacrificing your happiness or freedom.

    Heartburn and acid reflux are all too common, but what if everything you’ve been told about them is wrong? In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, we’re breaking down the myths and facts about acid reflux and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), focusing on a surprising root cause: low stomach acid.

    Join me as we explore why low stomach acid—not an overproduction of it—is often the real culprit behind your heartburn, bloating, and discomfort. I’ll discuss how stomach acid levels change as we age and why so many people are overprescribed PPIs and acid-suppressing medications that only mask the problem. Plus, we’ll dive into the potential long-term side effects of these drugs that could be doing more harm than good.

    You’ll also learn:

    The surprising link between low stomach acid and heartburnWhy acid-suppressing medications might not be the solution (and how they could be making things worse)Everyday triggers that might be fueling your reflux and what to avoidNatural remedies and lifestyle changes to relieve symptoms and support long-term gut health

    If you struggle with heartburn, GERD, or chronic acid reflux, this episode will empower you to rethink your approach and give you practical, natural tools to find relief without relying on medication.

Together, they discuss practical steps for reclaiming gut and hormonal health, even if reducing or quitting alcohol feels daunting.
