Issue #10, 27 May 2026 Everything you need to know about the GI-MAP comprehensive stool test Hi Reader, The GI-MAP is one of the most advanced functional stool tests currently available — and in chronic health cases, it can completely change the quality of information we have about the gut. Not because it magically diagnoses everything. But because it gives us measurable data about an area of health that is otherwise often approached through assumptions, symptom patterns, or trial-and-error...

Issue #9, 13 May 2026 Healthy Habits Stop Working When the Body Loses Resilience Hi Reader, One of the most confusing experiences for people dealing with chronic symptoms is watching “healthy habits” slowly stop working. The clean eating that once helped now barely moves the needle. Exercise leaves you more exhausted than energised. Fasting worsens cravings, anxiety, sleep, or fatigue. Supplements that were once supportive suddenly start causing bloating, headaches, reflux, or strange...

Issue #8, 22 Apr 2026 5 Blood Markers I Always Check When Symptoms Are Chronic Hi Reader, Most people who’ve done blood work believe they’ve already “checked everything.” A few standard markers, a quick glance at the reference range, and if nothing is flagged — they’re told everything looks fine. And yet, the symptoms remain. Energy isn’t consistent.Digestion isn’t stable. Hormones aren’t balanced. Things feel slightly off — but never enough to be taken seriously. The gap here is a lack of...

Issue #7, 8 Apr 2026 There is no single root cause - and that’s exactly the problem Hi Reader, “Find the root cause.” It’s one of the most widely accepted and chased after ideas in health right now. And it sounds right — if you can identify the cause, you can fix the problem. Right? But there is no single root cause.And chasing one is exactly why most people stay stuck. Let me tell you. In all the clients I’ve run hundreds of labs on, there hasn’t been a single one who had just one root...

Issue #6, 25 Mar 2026 Why 'Normal' Test Results May Not Be Enough Hi Reader, “Your reports are normal.” On paper, that should be reassuring.In practice, it often explains very little. Because many of the people I work with have already been told this — and yet continue to experience persistent symptoms: bloating, reflux, irregular bowels, fatigue, skin flares, hormonal shifts. So the real question becomes: What does “normal” actually mean? Conventional testing is designed to detect disease...

Issue #5, 11 Mar 2026 Beyond the gut: The drivers of persistent digestive symptoms Hi Reader, When someone develops persistent gut symptoms — bloating, reflux, constipation, unpredictable food reactions — the natural assumption is simple: Something must be wrong with the gut. So the focus turns to gut-directed therapies. Probiotics.Elimination diets.Antimicrobials.Digestive supplements. And to be clear — these tools absolutely matter when used with the right testing, sequencing, and clinical...

Issue #4, 11 Feb 2026 Understanding supplements differently Hi Reader, In my practice, supplements are not an afterthought — and they’re not forever. They’re used intentionally, in phases, and for a defined period of time (usually six to eight months), to perform functions that modern diet and lifestyle alone often can’t: support where the body is depleted, stimulate where systems are underperforming, substitute where something essential isn’t being produced, and when necessary, address...

Issue #3, 28 Jan 2026 Food restriction feels productive. Until it isn’t. Hi Reader, Most people don’t restrict food because they’re afraid of food.They restrict because their body has given them a reason to. Bloating after meals.Burning in the stomach.Constipation that won’t shift.Reactions that feel random. So you remove what seems inflammatory — gluten, dairy, sugar, entire food groups, and often times low GI, low FODMAP, keto, etc — and things calm down. That response is real.And it’s not...

Issue #1, 24 Dec 2025 Why gut healing fails (even when you’re doing everything right) Hi, If gut healing were just about discipline, most of the people I work with would have healed years ago. They’re not careless. They’re not inconsistent. They’re not ignoring their health. They’ve changed their diet. They’ve taken supplements. They’ve followed protocols. And yet - the bloating returns, the discomfort lingers, reflux continues, food sensitivities increase, and the so-called “flare-ups” never...
