Ep 002 - SIBO & Gut Health

If you haven't heard about SIBO yet, you will. "Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth" was thought for years to be a myth. That's changing. The research in this area is developing every year, every month. If you've been diagnosed with IBS or other gut issues, this might be the answer you've been searching for.

Should a listener consider a Vitamin C Flush for replacing Miralax to help maintain regular bowel movements? What are the benefits and drawbacks?

Chris Nikic is in better shape than most of us... and he's aiming for 1% better every day!
