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.

• Top 3 foods needed to feed your good gut bacteria

• How to feed your bifidobacteria if you weren’t breastfed

• Why low FODMAP diets aren't a long term, sustainable treatment for SIBO

• How to properly get off an elimination diet
