info_outlineDid you know that food sensitivities can silently contribute to systemic inflammation, gut issues, and even osteoporosis? In this episode, I speak with Margaret Floyd Barry, a functional nutritionist and expert in digestive health, to uncover the critical role of gut health in maintaining strong bones. Often overlooked, food sensitivities—especially to gluten—can damage the gut lining, lead to malabsorption of nutrients, and increase inflammation, all of which negatively impact bone health.
Margaret explains why conventional medicine often misses food sensitivities and how integrative testing can uncover the root causes of gut dysfunction. Discover how removing triggers like gluten and supporting the gut with targeted strategies can lead to better digestion, reduced inflammation, and improved bone strength.
Ready to dig deeper into your gut health and strengthen your bones? Tune in to this powerful episode and learn how addressing food sensitivities can transform your health from the inside out.
