From IBS and SIBO to PCOS and endometriosis, this conversation reveals how inflammation and gut imbalance can silently drive so many common symptoms.Dr. Shah shares her simple, science-backed “30-30-3” framework (30g of protein at your first meal, 30g of fiber daily, and 3 probiotic foods) to help you rebuild your microbiome and feel better fast. We also dive into the truth about probiotics, why fiber is essential (and why most people aren’t getting enough), and how everyday habits like sleep, sunlight, and movement can dramatically improve your gut health.Plus, we cover magnesium for stress and sleep, the role of antibiotics, how to approach SIBO and elimination diets, and the easiest (and most overlooked) ways to support your brain and body long-term.
