Your bloodwork came back normal. Maybe your colonoscopy too. But you’re still bloated, tired, and foggy — and nobody can tell you why.

“Normal” isn’t an answer. In this final episode of my 8-week Gut Health series, I walk you through the 6 tests I run in my practice that most doctors never order — and why test #6 isn’t about your gut at all. It’s about your heart.

Save this video. Screenshot it. Bring these questions to a doctor who will look at the whole picture.
