Practitioner's Perspective- Managing SIBO and Hormonal Imbalances Without Testing

SIBO Drives Up Inflammation Causing Havoc with Hormones

In this episode of the Histamine Well podcast, Joanne welcomes naturopath Bridget Greenall to discuss Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Together, they explore strategies for managing SIBO without relying on expensive tests, and the impact of SIBO on hormonal health, including symptoms like PMS and hot flushes. 

They dive into a case study of a 48-year-old female patient with SIBO, examining her symptoms and the practical, affordable treatments implemented.
