This classic Jamaican soup uses red kidney beans (which we call “red peas”) plus additional high fiber root vegetables. It’s a little labor intensive but freezes well and is a healthy entire meal in a bowl. While traditionally made with pork, this is a meatless version that’s absolutely delicious, courtesy of Charla at ThatGirlCooksHealthy.com. I was lucky to be eating it in JA a couple weeks ago!

More and more scientific studies are highlighting the critical role of the gut microbiome in cancer risk and recovery. Small consistent shifts like a daily tablespoon of sauerkraut or extra helping of veggies at each meal can make a big difference.

UPFs now make up more than 50% of the American diet, and their link to colon cancer - especially in people under 50 - is becoming increasingly clear. Kudos to my colleague Dr John Marshall for helping to spread the word about the importance of diet and the gut microbiome.

I’ve taken a couple months off between the first season of the Gutbliss Podcast to reopen my GI practice, and build out a new studio in my office for our transition to video. I have so much to talk about with you in season 2, and I’m so grateful to my amazing patients for trusting me with their digestive health ❤️

Love my new commute: walk, run, or scooter the 3 miles from home to my office. I’m a little steadier on my own wheels than on these, but getting the hang of it 😬😘😎. Plus, the OAF (open air factor) is defined as: “the germicidal constituent in outdoor air that reduces the survival and infectivity of pathogens” so get outside if you’re trying to not get sick!

After taking a pause from clinical practice for a year to launch the Gutbliss Podcast, I’m thrilled to be back in my office. Only seeing patients a couple days a week but loving every moment. Grateful to all the incredible patients who trust me with their gut health. Season 2 of the podcast coming in a few weeks - can’t wait!

I’ve been working on this course for over a year and I’m so proud to finally release it. No gimmicks or magic potions, just science-backed, clinically validated advice and information that I’ve used in hundreds of my own patients to help them find lasting relief from SIBO.

My mother represented Jamaica in dance as part of the National Dance Theater Company, played on the national squash team, was a tennis champion, represented Jamaica in the World Team Bridge Olympiad in Greece, was a teacher, lawyer and law professor. Did I mention she was also a phenomenal cook, talented seamstress who made many of our clothes, sang beautifully, and had incredible style? She was full of compliments and so kind. One of a kind. Love you momma and miss you so much.
