If you’re bloated all the time, even with a “clean” diet, this episode is for you.

Because bloating isn’t just about gluten, dairy, or FODMAPs.
And it’s not something you caused.
It’s a signal.

In this episode, Dr. Nate breaks down what chronic bloating really means through a root-cause lens — and why your body might be slowing digestion, fermenting food, and backing things up... even when you’re doing everything “right.”

You’ll learn:

• Why bloating isn’t a food issue — it’s a function issue
• How stress, snacking, and survival mode shut down digestion
• What your nervous system, thyroid, and hormones have to do with it
• The connection between motility, bile, SIBO, candida, and histamine overload
• Why postpartum pressure, mold, and trauma can mimic gut symptoms
• What to actually do to start calming the bloat — without cutting out everything you love

This episode is packed with real-life patterns, clinical insights, and simple shifts you can start today to bring rhythm and regulation back to your system — no elimination diet required.

You cut carbs. You felt amazing. The bloat dropped, the brain fog cleared, the scale moved… until everything crashed.

In this episode of the Root Cause Rx Podcast, Dr. Nate Fulton breaks down exactly why cutting carbs works at first, and why it often stops working, especially if you’re already stressed, postpartum, depleted, or dealing with thyroid and hormone imbalances.

This episode covers:

• The science behind the “low-carb honeymoon” and why it fades

• How low-carb can tank thyroid function, cortisol balance, and nervous system safety

• Why women (and high-stress humans) crash faster — and harder

• How to reintroduce carbs without “undoing your progress”

• What labs reveal a hidden carb crash — even if your doctor says you’re “fine”

• And why you didn’t fail the diet… the diet failed to support you.

If your sleep’s gone sideways, your energy’s tanked, your anxiety’s up, and you’re scared to eat a sweet potato — this one’s for you.

In this episode, we’re going straight to the root of something almost nobody connects:
Your anxiety… might actually be coming from your gut.

If you’ve ever felt wired but exhausted, anxious for “no reason,” bloated after meals, foggy, overstimulated, or like your body is sounding an alarm you can’t shut off, this one’s going to hit home.

I break down the real physiology behind the gut–brain loop:
• Why your belly sends danger signals to your brain
• How inflammation, microbial imbalance, and vagus nerve dysregulation create “mystery anxiety”
• Why so many people get misdiagnosed, dismissed, or medicated without anyone asking why
• And how to finally calm the loop so your nervous system can stand down

We’ll walk through the symptoms that get missed, what conventional medicine often overlooks, what’s actually happening under the surface, and the four-step framework I use with patients to heal gut-driven anxiety from the inside out.

This episode is your permission slip:
You’re not dramatic.
You’re not broken.
You’re not “just anxious.”
Your biology is talking, and once you understand the loop, you can finally break it.

If you’ve been craving clarity, validation, and an actual plan… settle in. This one’s for you.

If you’ve ever been told “your labs look fine” but you still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, inflamed, or just off… this episode is going to hit home hard.

Today, we’re diving into the hidden nutrient deficiencies that almost NO ONE is testing for — the ones that quietly drain your energy, wreck your hormones, fry your nervous system, and make you feel older than you are. And the wild part?
You can be eating clean, doing Whole30, taking a multivitamin every morning… and your cells can still be starving.

We’ll break down:

• why deficiencies are skyrocketing (even in healthy eaters)
• how stress, gut issues, meds, toxins, and inflammation drain your nutrient tank
• the Big 5 nutrients I check first when someone says “I’m tired all the time”
• the subtle signs your cells are under-fueled
• what ACTUALLY helps you rebuild energy from the root up

You’re not lazy.You’re not broken.You’re not “just getting older.”You’re under-fueled — and we’re going to fix that.

You’re not broken. You’re dysregulated.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into cortisol — not the clickbait version, but the real, nuanced story your body’s been trying to tell you.

Tired but wired? Can’t sleep, can’t focus, crash after meals, or feel stuck in go-mode with no off switch? This one’s for you.

I’m breaking down:
• Why cortisol is a rhythm — not just a number
• The 3 most common dysfunctional cortisol patterns I see in practice
• Hidden drivers of cortisol chaos (spoiler: it’s not just stress)
• Why “normal” labs can still miss the problem
• Real-life ways I help my patients restore their cortisol curve — without just throwing adaptogens at the wall

Whether you’re flatlined, fried, or feel like a raccoon on espresso at 10PM — this episode will help you finally understand what your body’s been trying to say.

Let’s bring back the rhythm.
Let’s get to the root cause.
