#35 All about SIBO, Common Root Causes & How to Overcome it Naturally with Amy Hollenkamp

"Its a chicken or egg situation with hormonal imbalances and SIBO. SIBO will definitely affect hormones, but if your hormones are off, it can lead to an environment for SIBO to easily develop"

Amy Hollenkamp is a Registered Dietitian and holistic health coach that specializes in IBS and SIBO. She leads an evidence based conversation on SIBO and shares her own experience with SIBO in her blog the SIBO Diaries. She is passionate about connecting the dots and being a root cause detective for her clients. She also created the SIBO Root Cause Repair Program online course to provide SIBO sufferers with the tools to identify and address their root causes.
