Ep 34: Breaking Down Microbiome Imbalances: dysbiosis, candida, and leaky gut
Update: 2025-08-14
Description
In this episode of the Nutrient Dense Podcast, we explore common gut microbiome imbalances that cause painful digestive issues. I discuss gut dysbiosis, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), candida overgrowth, and leaky gut. I explain their causes, symptoms, and the importance of a root cause approach to finally overcoming chronic digestive issues.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:
- Gut dysbiosis is a fancy way of saying there is an imbalance of your gut bacteria.
- SIBO is primarily a gut motility issue, not just a bacterial one.
- Candida overgrowth is opportunistic and often linked to antibiotic use.
- Leaky gut is a symptom of underlying issues, not a root cause.
- The gut lining is self-repairing, but needs support to heal.
- Chronic stress can negatively affect gut health.
- Dietary changes alone will not resolve gut issues when these other imbalances are present.
