I’m so excited to welcome back fellow ND, Dr. Sara Defrancesco to talk all about IBS: irritable bowel syndrome. If you’ve ever struggled with this issue only to be met with an elimination diet you won’t want to miss this episode. Elimination diets can be helpful in the short term and can help you fine tune your triggers but a much bigger impact can be made with tending to the microbiome, clearing up gut infections, supporting your immune system and more. Dr. Defrancesca is a wealth of information on gut health and I’m so grateful to have her back to take a deeper dive into IBS.    Check out her Freedom From IBS program here.    To work with Dr Brooke click here and if you loved this episode please leave a review!     Follow Dr Brooke on Instagram and get signed up for my awesome emails here.
