In this episode, Alyssa unpacks a connection that many people don’t realize is at the heart of their gut health struggles: the tight interplay between constipation, liver overload, and sleep disruption.

If you wake up between 1–3 AM, feel sluggish, bloated, or totally backed up the next day, this episode is for you. In this episode, Alyssa explains the powerful (and often overlooked) link between constipation, liver stress, and sleep disruption, and how real food and simple rituals can help break the cycle.

What you’ll learn in this video:

• Why constipation isn’t just a digestion issue and why it can overload your liver, disrupt detox, and mess with your sleep.
• How poorly timed or “healthy-but-not-helpful” meals (like super high fiber or too-light dinners) make things worse.
• The three-part framework Alyssa calls Relax, Release, Replenish, and how to eat to relax your nervous system, gently release waste, and replenish vital nutrients.
• Simple, doable evening meal and snack ideas to support motility, liver detox, and stable blood sugar overnight.
• A no-supplement-needed food strategy that can help your body reset over time.

In this episode, Alyssa breaks down one of the biggest myths in wellness: that your body needs a “cleanse” or “detox tea” to reset. If you’ve ever skipped meals, done a juice fast, or spent money on detox kits, thinking you’re helping your liver and gut,  this one’s for you. Alyssa explains what actually happens to your digestion, metabolism, and liver when you restrict food and why those “gut resets” can backfire, leaving you feeling more bloated, fatigued, and inflamed. 

You’ll learn how to truly support your body’s detox systems instead of working against them with real, satisfying food that gives your gut and liver the raw materials they need to thrive.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why fasting or juice cleanses can slow detox and worsen bloating
• The 9 everyday habits that block your body’s detox pathways (and how to fix them)
• The truth about alcohol, stress, and poor sleep on gut-liver function
• What your liver actually needs to detox naturally, and it’s not a supplement
• How to build fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats into every meal
• Simple food swaps that help your gut clear waste naturally

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why does my SIBO keep coming back?
• How do I know if my gut is really healing?
• Where should I start without wasting time and money?

…this conversation has the answers you’ve been searching for. 

In this episode, Alyssa reveals the exact approach she would take if she were diagnosed with SIBO today. But here’s the catch—it’s probably not what you’ve been told by the internet or even some practitioners. Instead of jumping into random antimicrobials or endless food restriction, she shares the overlooked first steps that make all the difference in lasting gut healing. You’ll also hear why so many people get stuck in relapse cycles and what to focus on if you want to finally move toward food freedom.

You’ll learn:

✅ The right order of healing steps (why it matters more than the perfect supplement)

✅ How to calm inflammation, support motility, and repair the gut lining

✅ Why food freedom—not restriction—is the real sign of healing

✅ How to create a relapse prevention plan so symptoms don’t keep coming back

In this episode, Alyssa unpacks one of the most confusing questions people with SIBO face: What can I actually eat?

If you’ve ever been stuck on chicken and rice because everything else feels like a trigger, this conversation will feel familiar. Alyssa explains why overly restrictive SIBO diets may bring short-term relief but can also backfire—slowing down healing, weakening motility, and leaving your gut more fragile over time.

You will learn:

1. Why elimination diets alone don’t heal SIBO
2. How over-restriction can worsen sensitivities and nutrient gaps
3. What balanced meals for SIBO actually look like
4. How to reintroduce foods without constant flares
5. Practical steps to feed your microbiome back to resilience

If you’re tired of endless “foods to avoid” lists and want a plan that goes beyond restriction, this episode is your guide to eating for long-term gut health.

If your gut feels unpredictable — flaring up at random foods, reacting to stress, or leaving you anxious about your next meal — your digestion is NOT broken. Your gut just needs retraining.

In this episode, Alyssa explains how you can “teach” your gut to become more tolerant, flexible, and resilient — and why waiting for the “perfect time” to start often makes things worse.

You’ll discover:
✅ Why avoidance and restriction can reinforce gut sensitivity
✅ How to reintroduce foods without triggering setbacks
✅ The role your brain and nervous system play in gut “behavior”
✅ Why delaying gut healing allows symptoms to become harder to reverse

Your gut is capable of change, but only if you start working with it instead of tiptoeing around it. This episode shows you how.

Eating five “safe” foods and tracking symptoms isn’t healing your gut –  it’s managing your symptoms.

If you’re eating the same few foods, timing meals, keeping food journals, planning outings around bathrooms, or leaning on supplements just to get through a meal… you’re not healing. You’re surviving. And while that may work short-term, it keeps you stuck in “management mode” — which makes true healing feel further and further away.

In this episode of The Gut Health Dialogues, Alyssa breaks down:

• The difference between symptom management vs. real healing
• Why “safe lists” + hyper-tracking keep you trapped
• What actual gut healing looks like
• The mindset shift you need to move from fear to freedom.

Because healing your gut isn’t about avoiding life — it’s about building resilience so you can live it fully again.

In this episode, Alyssa sits down with her client, Shelby, who was struggling for years with severe gut issues from chronic constipation/diarrhea cycles to unexplained hives and the frustration of living on a low FODMAP, low histamine diet, while also being vegetarian. After discovering she had SIBO and working through a targeted gut healing protocol with Alyssa, Shelby’s symptoms dramatically improved. But what really made her diet sustainable was gamifying her plant diversity goal.

If you’ve ever felt that gut-healing diets were too restrictive, boring, or just one more thing to check off, Shelby’s story will show you how to make it feel exciting, empowering, and even joyful.

In this powerful episode, Alyssa dives deep into a topic that frustrates so many people trying to “eat clean” but still feeling bloated, puffy, and reactive—inflammation.

If you've ever wondered why you’re reacting to foods that used to be fine, or why “healthy” choices leave you feeling worse, this episode will change the way you think about food and your gut.

Alyssa breaks down what inflammation really is, how it's connected to your immune system, gut, and food sensitivities, and why the solution isn’t just cutting out more foods.

In this episode, host Alyssa Simpson is joined by GI psychologist and gut-brain expert Dr. Navidi to explore one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic digestive issues: the gut-brain connection.

They dive into a category of conditions known as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBIs)—which include IBS, bloating, reflux, functional constipation, nausea, and more. Millions live with these diagnoses without realizing their symptoms are being driven, not just by food, but by nervous system dysregulation. If your symptoms persist even after eliminating triggers, trying meds, or running every test, this episode explains why—and what to do next.

About Dr. Navidi

Dr. Ali Navidi is a licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, a multi-state center treating gut-brain disorders and chronic pain. He’s also a hypnosis trainer and past president of the Northern Virginia Society of Clinical Hypnosis. Dr. Navidi has presented at top institutions including UNC School of Medicine, INOVA, and Georgetown University, helping clinicians and patients understand the gut-brain connection.
