    Jun 24 2025
    Struggling with food sensitivity tracking? Discover why your food journal isn't revealing your true inflammatory triggers in this eye-opening episode of the Gut Fix Podcast. Host Wendy Handy, FDN-P and Ulcerative Colitis survivor, exposes the hidden flaws in traditional food tracking methods that keep you trapped in symptom cycles despite your best efforts. Learn about the timing problem of delayed food reactions (up to 72 hours!), the combination problem of complex meals, and the threshold effect that makes identifying your triggers nearly impossible through observation alone. If you've tried elimination diets, food tracking apps, or symptom journals without success, this episode reveals the science-backed approach that finally brings clarity. Perfect for anyone with IBS, autoimmune conditions, unexplained inflammation, digestive issues, skin problems, or fatigue potentially linked to hidden food sensitivities. Stop eliminating foods unnecessarily and discover how comprehensive food sensitivity testing provides the personalized data you need for true healing.

  • Ep 47 | Chasing the Wrong Clue? Here’s Why ‘Root Cause’ Thinking Might Be Keeping You Stuck
    May 20 2025

    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.
