Best Cortisol Reducing Supplements: A Dietitian’s Guide and How it Relates to Your Gut

Cortisol Lowering Supplements

Cortisol is a major buzz word nowadays and many times the discussion of high cortisol is followed up with what cortisol reducing supplements should be taken. But before you reach for the next supplement, it is important that you are looking at the full picture. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol are frequently part of what […]

Your SIBO protocol didn’t fail because you “didn’t Your SIBO protocol didn’t fail because you “didn’t take the right supplements.”

It may have failed because you focused on killing the overgrowth without addressing why it happened in the first place.

If you keep jumping from one antimicrobial protocol to another, but never address things like motility, bowel regularity, digestion, bile flow, stomach acid, nutrition, and nervous system regulation, you may be missing the bigger picture.

SIBO healing isn’t just about killing bacteria.

It’s about:
→ Building the foundations
→ Identifying your root cause
→ Treating the overgrowth
→ Rebuilding the gut

6 foods that may help support your body when deali 6 foods that may help support your body when dealing with H. pylori 🦠🌱

If you’ve been told you have H. pylori, the conversation is often only about “getting rid of the bacteria”… but supporting the gut environment matters too.

Certain foods contain compounds that have been studied for their potential antimicrobial, antioxidant, and gut-supportive properties, including:

🍯 Honey — contains antimicrobial compounds and may help support the gut lining

🌿 Turmeric — rich in curcumin, which helps support a healthy inflammatory response

🖤 Black cumin seed — traditionally used for immune and microbial support

🥦 Broccoli sprouts — a source of sulforaphane, a compound studied for H. pylori support

🍒 Cranberry juice — contains polyphenols that may help discourage bacterial adhesion

🍵 Green tea — rich in catechins that support antioxidant defenses

These foods can be powerful additions, but H. pylori is complex. 

Long-term healing often requires looking at the full picture: stomach acid, nutrient status, stress, gut microbiome balance, and the health of your digestive lining.

Have you ever wondered what the process of healing Have you ever wondered what the process of healing your SIBO actually looks like?? ⁠

It may seem out of reach, but I am here to tell you that healing SIBO IS possible. 

It is important to note though that everyone's journey is unique and no one's healing process is linear. What works (or doesn't work) for one person, can be completely different for the next.

The biggest mistake that I see though is putting a timeframe on healing. This makes it hard to fully see the wins and progress that you have truly made. 

👉🏻 If you’re looking for some more personalized guidance while healing your SIBO, comment COACHING for details on how to work with me!

Bile isn’t just for digesting fat. It also plays a Bile isn’t just for digesting fat. It also plays a direct role in keeping bacterial levels in your small intestine in check.

Bile acids activate a receptor in the small intestine called FXR, and turning on that receptor switches on genes that control bacteria before they can overgrow. When bile flow is sluggish or bile quality is poor, your small intestine loses one of its main built-in defenses against SIBO. I see this constantly in clients who’ve had their gallbladder removed, and just as often in clients dealing with chronic constipation or a history of liver stress, both of which slow bile flow even with the gallbladder intact.

This is one of the most overlooked pieces of SIBO treatment, because most protocols focus entirely on killing bacteria and never touch bile production or flow. Supporting it comes down to a few targeted strategies:

🥩 Taurine and glycine — these are the amino acids your liver actually uses to produce bile acids. Taurine comes from meat, fish, and shellfish. Glycine comes from collagen-rich sources like bone broth, gelatin, and the skin and connective tissue on poultry.

🌿 Bitter herbs — things like dandelion root, artichoke, and gentian stimulate the release of bile you’ve already made, helping move it out of the gallbladder and into the small intestine where it’s needed.

😴 Sleep — bile production runs on your liver’s internal clock, and a large amount of that production happens while you’re asleep. Cutting sleep short doesn’t just affect energy, it limits how much bile your liver has time to make.

If bile flow isn’t part of your SIBO treatment, you’re leaving out one of the gut’s natural defenses against the bacteria you’re trying to clear, and that’s exactly why so many people relapse.

Type COACHING and I’ll walk you through what actually supporting this looks like.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but your gut doe I hate to be the one to tell you, but your gut doesn’t care how clean you’re eating when you have SIBO. 

Why is it that you’re seemingly doing everything right but still feeling like crap?

Here are  couple reasons why:

🫘 A lot of “clean” foods are also the most fermentable ones-  Beans, cruciferous vegetables, apples, onions, garlic are all amazing, nutrient-dense foods. 

BUT unfortunately they’re loaded with the exact fibers bacteria love to feast on. 

If you have SIBO or slow motility, fermentable foods feeds whatever’s overgrown in your small intestine → bloating, nausea, gas, and changes in bowel habits.

🍎 Cleaner foods like raw fruits and vegetables and certain proteins are just more work for your body to digest

If you have low stomach acid, poor bile flow, or low digestive enzyme output → incomplete digestion → bloating, gas, and abdominal pain.

I’m not saying this to tell you to stop eating whole, natural foods. But if you’re dealing with SIBO, even the “perfect” diet can leave you symptomatic until it’s actually addressed.

If this is you, comment MASTERCLASS and I’ll send you the training that walks through why. 🦠
