#53: Healing My Gut in Real Time: GI-MAP Results, My Protocol, and a Big Pivot (Part 2)

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to dig into your symptoms using functional lab testing and pivot your healing strategy in real time, this episode is for you.

In this second part of my personal gut healing series, I’m walking you through my actual GI-MAP test results and the steps I took next. From uncovering hidden digestive dysfunction to the surprise discovery that changed everything (hint: it involves my gallbladder!). You’ll get a real-world look at how healing is rarely linear, but always revealing.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How gut infections, poor digestion, and immune dysfunction can quietly drive stubborn symptoms

  • Why symptom relief often comes from supporting function rather than chasing infections

  • The surprising role bile flow and gallbladder health can play in symptoms like bloating and constipation

  • What it really looks like to pivot mid-protocol and let your body lead your healing strategy
