You think you're doing everything right. Eating clean, loading up on salmon, and seasoning with garlic and ginger. But what if the very foods keeping you “healthy” are quietly inflaming your body?

In this episode, I bring back Margaret Floyd Barry—functional nutritionist, food sensitivity specialist, and founder of Restorative Wellness Solutions—to walk me through the gut healing protocol she created based on my own poop and blood.

Seriously. I gave her both.

We dive into why I’ve got to cut out garlic, ginger, and wine temporarily and why that doesn’t mean I’m stuck eating bland food forever. This isn’t about restriction. It’s about strategy. Margaret lays out the science behind MRT testing, explains why variety matters more than perfection, and shows how to build a gut that can handle life and wine again.

If you’re training hard, trying to stay sharp, or wondering why your “clean diet” isn’t translating into energy, digestion, or results, this episode will make you rethink what’s actually helping or hurting your gut.

If you're eating the same thing every single day and have a leaky gut, the likelihood of you being sensitive to what you're eating all the time is much more significant." ~ Margaret Floyd Barry
