Why You’re Bloated: The Different Root Causes Behind Bloating
EPISODE #91 — MAY 8, 2026
Bloating is one of the most common symptoms I see in women’s health, but not all bloating looks the same. The timing, patterns, and surrounding symptoms can actually tell us a lot about what may be causing it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the different types of bloating I commonly see clinically and some of the most common patterns I find on functional lab tests of women struggling with chronic bloating. I also share why approaches like cutting more foods or taking random supplements often backfire. If you’ve been feeling bloated and can’t figure out why, this episode will help you better understand what your body may actually be trying to tell you.
