In this episode, I’m joined by Karlee Close, a certified gut health coach and the founder of Beyond Bloated, where she helps women ditch chronic bloating without restrictive diets.

Karlee shares her personal journey with gut issues and how she discovered a sustainable, root-cause approach to healing that doesn't rely on cutting out more foods. We dive deep into what's really driving bloating, how stress and lifestyle play a major role, and why so many women are stuck in the cycle of elimination diets without real relief.

You’ll hear us chat about:

✨ Why food restrictions often backfire ✨ The truth about SIBO (and why it's not just about the bugs) ✨ The most overlooked root causes of chronic gut issues ✨ How to begin supporting your gut without testing or supplements ✨ The role of nervous system regulation in digestion ✨ Real, practical strategies for lasting relief

This episode is packed with validation and hope, especially if you’ve been told bloating is normal or you just need to "cut more foods." Karlee’s approach is refreshing, grounded, and truly sustainable.
