Understanding the Low FODMAP Diet
with Dr. Megan Taylor, ND
A Low FODMAP Diet is one of the most well-studied diets in the management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Based on current research, 52-84% of patients report a reduction in their IBS symptoms when eliminating dietary FODMAPs (Liu, et al. 2020). However, the Low FODMAP Diet often feels incoherent and difficult to grasp. Join Dr. Megan Taylor as she explains how you can better understand this diet plus some tools that can make implementing it easier!

Natural Habits that Promote Sleep
with Dr. Zoë Kelly Linkletter, ND
Sleep efficiency is the clinical measurement used to determine quality of sleep. Simply put, it is the percentage of time that you spent in bed during which you are actually asleep. 85% or above is considered good quality sleep. If you have experienced difficulty falling asleep or wake up during sleep and have a hard time falling back asleep you are familiar with the experience of lying awake in bed. Research shows that lower sleep efficiency is linked to conditions such as depression, lack of concentration during the day, fatigue, weight issues, inflammation, and more. So, addressing sleep can often be the root of our larger symptoms or a necessary step to improve these. Let’s talk about how to do that!

Join Dr. Megan Taylor as she explores the signs and symptoms of SIBO, and how to know if you might have this condition!
