In this episode, I sit down with Jen Yundt Coles, The SIBO Coach, an AFMC Certified Functional Medicine and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and the creator of the Hydrogen Sulfide Solutions program. Jen shares her journey through childhood health issues and adult gut struggles, culminating in a transformative moment that led her to functional medicine. Our conversation dives deep into SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), exploring its many symptoms—both digestive, like bloating and gas, and non-digestive, such as anxiety and brain fog. Jen offers invaluable advice on diagnosing and treating SIBO, emphasizing a holistic approach that includes gut preparation before antibiotics, support during treatment, and ongoing post-treatment care. We also delve into practical strategies for managing stress, the importance of energy management, and how tools like Human Design and the Enneagram can foster self-awareness and self-acceptance. Whether you’re facing digestive issues or chronic stress, or simply want to explore holistic wellness approaches, this episode is packed with actionable advice and inspiration.

Something to Think About: 3 Key Takeaways & Questions for Self-Reflection 1. First, health and wellness require self-advocacy. It’s all about being proactive and persistent when it comes to your health. We dive into why it’s so important to be self-aware, ask the right questions, and not just accept surface-level answers. How often do you advocate for yourself and dig deeper when something doesn’t feel right? 2. Second, true health and wellness is holistic. Jen’s approach really shows us how everything is connected—your diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress—it all matters. Taking care of the whole picture is key to feeling your best. Are there areas of your health that you might be overlooking, and how could focusing on them make a difference? 3. And finally, “test, don’t guess.” Getting an accurate diagnosis is essential. We talk about starting with something like a SIBO breath test and finding practitioners who can create a personalized plan just for you. When was the last time you sought out a precise diagnosis instead of relying on assumptions about your health?
