That fruit loaf though 🤤. I haven’t checked if they have burger buns. But definitely look them up and see who their stockists are.

It’s just a chemical s**t storm!

Please check your ingredients. Talk to your family about this stuff too …clearly I’m not talking about it enough!

I’m just disgusted with these ā€˜frankenfood’ companies. The packets make everything sound good for you. This one says:
🫪 Free from gluten
🫪 High fibre
🫪 No artificial colours or flavours (šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ …well they’re not lying I guess)
🫪 it has a 4.5 health star rating!!!! WTAF?

No. Just no.

Now Boys …don’t be givin me the stink eye. I know you know what I’m talking about šŸ˜‚.

You don’t like to be told by me …your mum …or your wife. We know.

But yeah …I’m game if you are!

If you’re a guy …and you’re having some issues (painting the toilet bowl, excessive farting, spending too much time in the toilet ….wait this all sounds pretty common 😳) …I’m here. You know where I am. Feel free to book in or, if you must, get your wife (or mum?šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø) to book you in …but they can’t do the work for you.

If you’re coming …you’re coming to work šŸ¤—.

What happens when we just use Nerva consistently for 6 weeks?

Most people avoid whole food groups when they try to fix their gut issues.

But for this test …there’s no special diet and no supplements.

If you want to be one of the 2 people …and you can commit to the 6 week trial, comment GUT, and I’ll send you some details.

2 people. 6 weeks.

Not diet. Not supplements.

I’m testing what ACTUALLY changes.

If your gut symptoms are ongoing AND you know you’ll COMMIT
…comment GUT.

I’ll send details and choose 2 people in the next few days.

Is your *IBS ....SIBO? 😱 Confusing, isn’t it? Doesn’t need to be though
IBS is a label …not a diagnosis.

It’s what you’re told when tests come back ā€œnormalā€ā€¦ but your gut definitely isn’t.
Under that label, there can be a lot going on:
🤰 microbiome imbalances
🤰 SIBO
🤰 motility issues
🤰 visceral hypersensitivity

But instead of digging deeper… your doctor often stops at IBS.

It’s thought that around 70% (give or take) of IBS sufferers have SIBO. So if you’ve been told that you have IBS (*cough ....lazy diagnosis) ....there’s a bloody good chance that you ACTUALLY have SIBO (like ....’buy a lotto ticket’ good chance).

šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøThe jury seems to be out on the population stats for SIBO ....but we all know AT LEAST one person with IBS ...so, ya know ....that number is gonna be high.

Did you get the lazy diagnosis? Want an un-lazy one? We don’t stop at IBS.
We test properly. We find the cause. We treat THAT.

Another day, another bottle of pomegranate husk.

It’s not winning any flavour awards (*bitter AF), but in a gut clinic it’s one of my most-used herbs.

This one goes into almost every SIBO and microbiome mix I make. Why? Because it does a lot at once.

It’s antimicrobial, antiparasitic AND prebiotic.
So while it helps inhibit pathogenic bacteria, fungi (hello candida) and parasites, it also feeds beneficial microbes 🦠 .

Add to that:
• anti-inflammatory
• antioxidant
• helps reduce visceral hypersensitivity in the gut
• supports prevention and repair of peptic ulcers

It can also help with things like brain fog and immune modulation.

For patients who come in saying, ā€œI can only eat five foodsā€ — this is often the first herb I reach for.

If your gut feels like it’s in rough shape, microbiome testing (such as Microba or Biomesight) can help identify what pathogens may be present or where your microbiome is out of balance.
