Summary

Confused on where to start if you have IBS, SIBO, or can no longer eat the foods you love without reacting? Dr. Alexis Cowan, PhD is a microbiome researcher and high-performance holistic health mentor who shares her revolutionary, 3-step gut protocol to restore your good bacteria.

The specific gut protocol that healed her gut microbiome, dairy intolerance and many of her clients’ long term symptoms
Top 3 foods needed to feed your good gut bacteria
How to feed your bifidobacteria if you weren’t breastfed
Why 2-4 weeks of a “preparation phase” with diet changes and inflammation-busting supplements may be needed before embarking on a gut protocol

Why low FODMAP diets aren't a long term, sustainable treatment for SIBO
How to properly get off an elimination diet
Why carnivore and keto diets can negatively impact the microbiome long term
Why high protein diets (without enough plants) can cause constipation and discomfort

0:00.0	Welcome to season five of What's the Juice Podcast. I cannot believe that it's been five years of recording the show and I have some really exciting news for those of you who are OGs and have been listening to season one and love season one the most like me because I'm making some changes this time around that are hopefully going to take us back to our roots of how and why we made the show.
0:24.9	So before we get into this episode, just a general update so you guys can hear a little bit from
0:29.1	me and know where my heart is at with how I'm going about the show this time around. I remember before we
0:36.2	recorded season one I was so excited I had these fresh eyes for the show and I
0:41.2	was so hungry to meet different guests that were sort of these
0:46.7	like whole-in-the-wall unknown practitioners that didn't have a big social media following and
0:51.2	just had some really interesting
0:53.4	unique clinical gems to share with us and who were so
0:56.7	immersed in their field that they could really be of service,
0:59.9	whether it was through their, again, clinical knowledge and health information or just their unique
1:05.2	philosophy of the world.
1:06.8	And I think season one was filled with so many of these fascinating guests.
1:12.2	And it was filmed in person. It was before the pandemic and I got to
1:15.2	record almost every single episode face to face heart to heart and that makes a
1:19.2	huge difference in conversations. And then COVID happened and so many things were out of my
1:25.0	control and we had to start recording remotely and I think that took away some of the
1:29.7	joy of making the podcast because things were just these scheduled recordings I
1:33.7	didn't get to meet the person face to face there wasn't that much of
1:36.7	connection and excitement as we had in season one and so I realize that if I was
1:41.6	going to keep doing the show I needed to do it with my whole chest.
1:45.8	Like I needed to do it with my heart and I needed to go back to putting the same love and intention and obsession that I put in in season one.
1:57.0	And so I decided to produce this season entirely on my own, on the production end.
