Fixing IBS, SIBO and Constipation at the Root with Grace Clark-Hibbs, RDN

Описание: In this episode of The BioBelly Show, registered dietitian and gut health specialist Grace Clark-Hibbs
(@bloatfree_nutrition) shares her deeply personal journey through 12+ years of constipation, bloating,
and repeated SIBO treatments—and how she transformed that struggle into a root-cause approach that
has helped hundreds of women find real relief.
We explore why so many people stay stuck in the cycle of restriction, antimicrobials, and short-term fixes,
and how Grace rebuilds the foundation instead: blood sugar balance, motility, minerals, stress regulation,
and a supported gut immune system. She breaks down how to understand your bloating patterns, what
your symptoms are trying to tell you, and why healing often begins long before you add supplements or
food eliminations.
Grace also explains the GI-MAP test in simple, empowering terms—what it can reveal, how she interprets
patterns, and why the goal is always to bring more food freedom back into your life, not less.
If you’ve ever felt confused, discouraged, or “broken” by your gut symptoms, this episode will help you
reconnect with your body and finally understand what’s really driving your bloating, constipation, diarrhea,
and sensitivities.
