In this episode, host Alyssa Simpson, a registered dietitian and functional nutritionist, dives into one of the most frustrating and common digestive issues—bloating.

When to Seek Help:

If persistent bloating continues despite these changes, Alyssa highlights deeper gut imbalances that might need professional attention, such as SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), dysbiosis, or pancreatic insufficiency.
