Ep 47 | Chasing the Wrong Clue? Here’s Why ‘Root Cause’ Thinking Might Be Keeping You Stuck

Tired of chasing symptoms, trying different diets, or Googling your way through your health struggles — only to keep hitting a wall?
In this episode of Gut Fix – Say Goodbye to IBD,  we’re diving deep into the concept of Metabolic Chaos® and why the traditional “root cause” approach may be holding you back.
As a Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner I break down:
✔️ What Metabolic Chaos® really is✔️ How chronic fatigue, IBD, hormone imbalances, and brain fog are all interconnected✔️ Why a single “root cause” rarely exists — and what to do instead✔️ The functional lab tests (like GI MAP, DUTCH, and OAT) that uncover hidden dysfunctions✔️ How the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® protocol helps restore balance naturally
 
If you’ve been struggling with gut issues, hormone problems, or burnout — and you’re tired of guessing — this episode will help you finally connect the dots.
Stay happy, stay healthy!
