90 - Overcoming Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth with Dr Jason Hawrelak

Welcome to this week's episode of the podcast! I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Jason Hawrelak, a renowned researcher, educator, and naturopath with a wealth of knowledge and over two decades of clinical experience. With a PhD focused on probiotics, prebiotics, and herbal medicines for gut health, Jason has been teaching audiences worldwide on microbiota modification and gastrointestinal health.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), a condition that affects many individuals today. After taking one of Jason's courses on SIBO a few years ago, I have been able to apply his teachings to help those suffering from this debilitating condition who had previously struggled to find relief through traditional medical avenues.
