Did you know that you have several valves in your GI tract and that they can become dysfunctional, leading to dynamics like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)? 👀

When the ileocecal valve isn’t functioning properly, bacteria can move from the large intestine (where there SHOULD be bacteria) into the small intestine (where there SHOULDN’T be bacteria)…leading to SIBO and unfortunately recurrent SIBO if not corrected.

That’s where visceral manipulation comes in.
Huge shoutout to — our preferred provider for this powerful modality. 🙌
Root-cause work is a team effort.

Low stomach acid = one of the most overlooked root causes of SIBO 👀
You need strong stomach acid to:
✔️ digest your food
✔️ absorb nutrients
✔️ protect against unwanted bacteria

Healing isn’t always pretty. 💫
You might feel worse before you feel better, and that’s okay. Detoxing, shifting habits, and rebalancing your body takes time. Stay the course. Your body is doing the work. 🌱
