Everyone has heard of SIBO—Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth—but what if bacteria aren't the whole story?

In this episode, we're diving into SIFO (Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth), an emerging diagnosis that's gaining attention in gastroenterology and functional medicine. If you've struggled with chronic bloating, gas, digestive discomfort, food sensitivities, or persistent IBS-like symptoms despite trying everything from probiotics to elimination diets, this lesser-known condition may be another piece of the puzzle.

You'll learn what SIFO is, why it's different from SIBO, and why the goal isn't to eliminate every microbe in your gut—but to restore balance to an ecosystem that was designed to work in harmony.

We'll walk through some major contributing factors as well as a functional medicine roadmap for restoring gut health.
