Are your hormones affected by sugar?
There is a direct connection between sugar, hormonal health and blood sugar regulation (insulin resistance).

Do hot chips = gut cramps, nausea, burping or burning?
SIBO is a common gut condition I see in clinic. This small intestinal bacteria overgrowth (SIBO) is where it really shouldn’t be. SIBO symptoms usually occur with and/or straight after high carbohydrate foods and can occur with nausea and burping and burning. I treat SIBO using 6 core naturopathic principles such as do no harm; harnessing your vital force; teaching; treating the whole person; and preventing. I use targeted herbal medicine, pre-biotics, pro-biotics and microbiome restoration methods in a step by step approach to treat SIBO, to ensure the underlying cause for your SIBO isn’t neglected. SIBO treatment is a journey, not a quick fix.
