SIBO, IBS, gut issues?

Which one are you?

Besides turning you into a lunatic…lacking sleep causes other problems.

When you don’t sleep enough, your hunger signals get completely thrown off.

Here’s what happens:

• Ghrelin (hunger hormone) goes up → you feel hungrier than you should
• Leptin (fullness hormone) goes down → it’s harder to feel satisfied

So even if you ate enough… your brain says: “keep eating.”

But it gets worse 👇

Sleep deprivation also makes your brain crave fast dopamine.

And what gives the quickest dopamine spike?
• Sugary foods
• Ultra-processed snacks
• High-carb, high-reward meals

So now you’re not just hungry…

You’re craving the most addictive, easy-to-overeat foods.

That’s why after a bad night of sleep:
• You want sweets way more
• Portion control feels harder
• Late-night snacking hits different

It’s not just “lack of discipline.”

Your biology is literally pushing you toward quick-reward foods.

Fix your sleep → your cravings get easier to control.

Simple, but massively overlooked.

Gut-healthy Loaded Butternut Squash

Ingredients:
Butternut squash
Ground beef
Goat cheese (plain)
Salt
Cinnamon
Honey
Olive oil spray

Instructions:
1️⃣Peel butternut squash and cut the bottom end into two halves. Make sure bottom surface is flat, so butternut squash does not tip when loading and cooking.

2️⃣Lightly coat with olive oil spray and bake butternut squat at 400 degrees for 45-60 mins, or until soft.

3️⃣While butternut squash is cooking, pan fry ground beef. Season with preferred seasonings (I used salt and chili powder generously).

4️⃣Remove cooked butternut squash. Stuff with cooked ground beef and top with goat cheese. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes until goat cheese softens.

5️⃣Sprinkle on cinnamon and honey to taste.

Amounts of each shown in video:
8 oz butternut squash
5 oz cooked ground beef (I used 93%, can use whichever you prefer)
1 oz goat cheese
1 tsp (7 grams) honey
Olive oil cooking spray

Your body doesn’t store zinc, so if you’re not consistently getting it from food or supplements, deficiency creeps up fast.

Symptoms of zinc deficiency:

🔲 White spots or lines on your fingernails
🐌 Slow wound healing
🤧 Frequent colds
📉 Low testosterone (men)
💇 Hair loss
😞 Acne
🔴 Dermatitis
🫠 Leaky gut
😣 IBS symptoms

Top 10 foods highest in zinc:
Oysters (by far the highest)
Beef
Lamb
Pumpkin seeds
H**p seeds
Crab & lobster
Chickpea
Cashews
Dark chocolate (85%+)
Eggs (yolk)

Most absorbable forms of zinc (if supplementing):
✅ Zinc picolinate
✅ Zinc citrate
Avoid zinc oxide — it’s cheap and poorly absorbed.

If you’re dealing with gut issues like IBS or leaky gut, your absorption is likely already compromised, which makes deficiency even more likely.

This is exactly why gut health isn’t just about digestion, it affects every nutrient your body depends on.

If you have digestive issues, using the wrong process will give you a poor outcome.

Unfortunately, this is exactly how most people try to fix gut issues.

They skip the basics…

They rush the process…

And sometimes even end up damaging more than they fix.

What to do instead 👇

1️⃣ [MOST IMPORTANT] Simplify your food first. Choose single-ingredient, minimally processed, whole foods (avoid highly processed foods).

2️⃣ Get stress under control. Chronic stress = impaired digestion. Period.

3️⃣ Slow down when you eat. Chew well. Try to destress before eating. Minimize liquids during meals to not dilute stomach acid.

4️⃣ Add digestive support strategically (digestive enzymes, betaine HCl apple cider vinegar to boost stomach acid, ox bile).

5️⃣ Run basic labs with your primary care provider. Don’t skip the obvious.

6️⃣ [IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST] Investigate other root causes — functional stool testing, SIBO breath testing, Organic acids testing.

Try this for better digestion.

That broccoli had it coming. 🥦💀

Jokes aside — if veggies are leaving you bloated, here’s what to actually do about it:

1. Go easy on the raw stuff. Raw vegetables are harder to break down. A small amount is fine, but if you’re piling your plate with raw kale salads, your gut is going to let you know.

2. Cook your veggies more. Heat breaks down tough plant fibers before they ever hit your digestive tract. Roasting, steaming, or sautéing can make a huge difference in how well you tolerate them.

3. Mix it up. Eating the same vegetables every day means your gut is dealing with the same fermentable fibers on repeat. Rotating your veggies gives your microbiome more variety — and less of a reason to rebel.

4. Rule out SIBO. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is one of the most common and overlooked reasons veggies cause bloating. A simple hydrogen/methane breath test can tell you if bacteria are fermenting your food where they shouldn’t be.

5. Try digestive enzymes. If your body isn’t producing enough of the right enzymes, even healthy food won’t break down properly. Experimenting with a quality enzyme supplement at meals can be a quick, low-risk win.

6. Look deeper with a GI-Map. If nothing else is giving you answers, a comprehensive stool test like the GI-Map can reveal infections, inflammation, dysbiosis, and other root causes that explain why your gut is struggling.

Your gut should be able to handle vegetables. If it can’t, that’s a sign — not a life sentence. 💚
