  • Love this podcast

    Lindsey is so knowledgeable on gut issues, having personal experience of her own, as well as working with patients and having countless amazing knowledge guests on. I’ve learned so much, especially about FMT, amongst other things form listening to this podcast. If you are dealing with gut issues you should reach out or at a minimum get a stool and organic acid test to try and see what’s going on!
