• EP #181 Why food restrictions can worsen IBS symptoms long term with Sheradyn Dekker
    Apr 25 2025

    If you’ve been stuck avoiding gluten, dairy, or every high-FODMAP food just to keep your IBS symptoms in check — this episode is for you.
    Today, we’re breaking down why long-term food restrictions can actually harm your gut health, not heal it. We’ll talk about why your gut microbiome needs a variety of foods, how key nutrients and prebiotics like garlic, onions, and bananas play a role in true healing, and why "less is more" isn’t always the answer. Plus, I'll share a step-by-step look at how to safely rebuild food diversity, reintroduce favorites without fear, and finally stop feeling trapped by your diet.
    Let’s help you move from bloated and restricted — to balanced, nourished, and free!

    P.S Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you overcome constipation, bloating & fatigue.

    1. Get the “IBS” crash course

    In how to heal your gut with nutrition. I’ll show you how to have regular bowel movements, stop bloating and have more food choices here.

  • EP #180 The mental health impact of skin rashes, dermatitis and acne with Sheradyn Dekker
    Apr 15 2025

    Skin Deep: How Rashes, Acne, and Dermatitis Impact Mental Health and Confidence in Women

    Let’s talk about what no one’s talking about—the emotional toll our skin can take on us. In this episode, we’re getting real about the mental health impact of skin conditions like acne, rashes, and peri-oral dermatitis, especially for women navigating these challenges well beyond their teenage years. (Yes, adult acne is very real—and I’m living proof!)

    We’ll uncover the hidden triggers behind these skin issues, from hormone shifts and gut imbalances to skincare products and environmental stressors. You’ll also hear why conditions like SIBO often show up on your face before your lab results, and how functional testing can help you finally connect the dots.

    Whether you’ve struggled with self-esteem, social anxiety, or just feel tired of covering up, this episode dives beneath the surface—literally and emotionally.

    Because when your skin suffers, your confidence often does too—and it’s time we started talking about it.
