This episode is an overview of how integrative practitioners and dietitians utilize the nutrition-focused physical exam and the IFMNT radial to DIG DEEP and look at potential underlying causes of gut imbalances and chronic disease. This episode covers:

• STAIN model: stress, toxins, adverse food reactions, infections, and nutritional imbalances
• DIGIN model (5 primary categories of GUT imbalances), focusing this episode on "digestion/absorption" to explore motility, gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile salts
• nutritional takeaways
