The 28-Day SIBO Diet:
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where bacteria multiply excessively in the small intestine, causing bloating, abdominal discomfort, altered bowel movements, and food sensitives. Addressing SIBO effectively requires a root cause approach, with nutrition playing a central role in restoring gut balance, reducing triggers, and supporting intestinal healing.

This structured 28-day plan has been carefully developed to target the underlying causes of bacterial overgrowth, promote digestive comfort, and provide your body with nourishing foods while avoiding common triggers.

Why This Diet?

For those of you who have been to see me, you will know that I have an absolute passion for gastrointestinal health. I would say that stress resilience and gut health are the core of what I do. So, I was literally exploding with excitement when DNAlysis launched their new DNA Gut test this week. For those of you that have consistently struggled with gut health, this test is designed to identify genetic variation that may predispose you to gut microbial alterations, gut barrier dysfunction and intestinal dysbiosis - all of which may be negatively impacting your health (from autoimmunity to psychiatric disorders). The test paves the pathway to interventions to support relevant pathways to help you maintain a healthy and resilient gastrointestinal tract.

At this point, most people with unexplained digestive issues or IBS have heard of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), typically caused by bacteria that produce either hydrogen or methane gas.

But there's a third, lesser-known type — Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO — that often flies under the radar. It’s frequently missed on standard breath tests and can present with a mix of digestive and neurological symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and even rotten egg–smelling gas.

In this post, I explore what hydrogen sulfide SIBO is, how to test for it, and most importantly, what to do if you suspect it’s playing a role in your health picture.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is commonly linked to hydrogen and methane gas production. However, a lesser-known variant - Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) SIBO - may be responsible for persistent or atypical symptoms, especially in those who receive inconclusive or flatlined breath test resu...

In my latest blog post, “Migraines and Metabolism: A Perspective on the Use of Ketogenic Metabolic Therapies,” I explore how emerging science supports ketogenic diets and metabolic therapies as a promising adjunct for migraine management.

There is compelling research to show that migraines reflect a brain struggling to meet its energy demands leading to:
*️⃣ Mitochondrial dysfunction (inefficient energy production)
*️⃣ Glucose hypometabolism (difficulty using sugar as fuel)
*️⃣ Neuroinflammation
*️⃣ Excitotoxicity (an imbalance between calming and excitatory neurotransmitters like GABA and glutamate)

This paints a compelling picture: the migraine-prone brain is in an energetically vulnerable state, one where even small stressors can tip it into crisis.

June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month. We don't think a lot about rare diseases until we are affected by one.

Movement, speaking, chewing, breathing - these are all things we take for granted - until we don't or can't.

My belief that the body has an immense capacity to heal itself with the correct nutrition, movement and stress reduction interventions, has carried me through some really scary times.

With the massive increase we are seeing in autoimmune diseases, especially amongst women, it is crucial that we remind ourselves daily that self care lies at the heart of all healing.
