Today I’m chatting with Sarah Kay Hoffman, the founder of A Gutsy Girland the creator of The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut. As a Certified Health Coach (CHC) from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Sarah is a wellness expert specializing in food allergies/intolerances, digestive health, and women’s issues. She is passionate about discussing and helping women so they never have to walk the path alone. Southern Minnesota is home to Sarah, her husband, and three children. You will find Sarah Kay Hoffman hanging out mostly on: The A Gutsy Girl Blog | Instagram | Pinterest | Facebook.
In this episode, Sarah shares more about her personal health journey and how she discovered her mysterious symptoms were all linked to her poor gut health. We discuss the problems with low stomach acid, how she found out she had SIBO, and what she did to heal her gut and optimize her digestion. Sarah also discusses how workouts can affect gut health, her top supplements for the gut, and carbohydrate consumption when struggling with gut issues. She also shares the top triggers for gut problems, hacks for constipation and diarrhea, how SIBO antibiotics are different, how she overcame her perioral dermatitis, and more.
