#66 - All things Gut Health, SIBO and the connection to your metabolism with Kourtney Simmang

I get lots of questions about gut health and SIBO, so I thought it’d be fun to sit down with Kourtney (who is gorgeous inside and out!) to discuss it all.Kourtney works in the pro-metabolic community as a functional nutritional practitioner. She helps women with health struggles (PCOS, thyroid conditions, IBS, migraines, acne, ADD, infertility, and beyond) heal through nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle changes. ⁣⁣Like a lot of women, she suffered from many health issues including PCOS, hypothyroidism, chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, food allergies and anxiety. At her lowest point, she was introduced to functional lab testing, nutrition, and targeted supplementation and hasn't looked back.
