The Tara Thorne Wellness Podcast

In this episode, Tara breaks down the true impact antibiotics can have on the gut, far beyond the short-term effects most people are told about.
She explains how even a single course can disrupt the microbiome for years, contributing to inflammation, immune dysregulation, and a wide range of ongoing symptoms.
Tara also shares her clinical perspective on why many gut healing approaches fall short, and outlines a practical protocol to protect and support the microbiome before, during, and after antibiotic use.
We cover:
What actually happens in the gut after a course of antibiotics
Why the effects can last up to four years (or longer)
The link between antibiotics, inflammation, and chronic symptoms
Why most "gut healing" approaches miss the mark
My gut protection protocol (what I do in practice to minimize damage)

You're eating well. You've cut out the "trigger foods." You've tried the probiotics, the gut protocols, the supplements.
And yet… you're still bloated. Still uncomfortable. Still dealing with unpredictable digestion.
In this episode, Tara breaks down the real reasons so many women stay stuck with gut issues, despite doing everything they've been told is "right."
From poor testing and misguided protocols to overlooked root causes, this is the conversation that fills in the gaps most practitioners are missing.
If your gut still isn't right, this episode will help you understand why—and what actually needs to change.
In this episode we talk about:
The biggest mistakes in gut protocols
Why most stool tests miss what matters
Probiotics vs prebiotics — the real story
Why restrictive diets don't fix your gut
What actually needs to happen for lasting change

Proper testing, root cause focus, and a plan built around your body so you're not back at square one in six months. If you've been sitting on the fence, this is your nudge. Grab a spot here.

In this episode, Tara breaks down what loose stools actually mean, why they're not something to ignore, and the key root causes she sees most often in practice. From gut infections and dysbiosis to bile flow issues and poor digestion, she explains how to connect the dots between your symptoms and what's really going on underneath.
She also walks through the common mistakes people make when trying to fix gut issues—like guessing with supplements or following generic protocols—and why these approaches can often make things worse.
If you're dealing with loose stools, urgency, or inconsistent digestion, this episode will help you understand what your body is signaling and how to approach it properly.
In this episode we talk about:
Why gut issues often show up as fatigue, anxiety, weight gain (not just digestive issues)
How to tell if it's SIBO or a colon issue
The role of digestion, bile, and transit time (this is huge)
Why probiotics alone aren't the solution
What proper stool testing looks like
The red flags to watch for when choosing a practitioner

Constipation isn't just uncomfortable. It's not a minor inconvenience to manage around with a magnesium supplement and a prayer. When your bowels aren't clearing properly, your body is holding onto things it needs to let go of; waste, toxins, and used-up hormones like estrogen that, when reabsorbed, start creating problems far beyond your digestive system.
This is why I take it seriously in practice. And why I recorded this episode.
Because most of the advice out there is either incomplete or quietly making things worse.
In this episode I walk you through what actually matters:
Why constipation is a whole-body issue, not just a gut one 
The link between sluggish bowels, estrogen recycling, and long-term health risk 
What it means if fibre makes your symptoms worse (this is important) 
Why methane overgrowth is one of the most missed drivers of constipation 
What most women are overlooking when nothing seems to work

Bloated by evening but fine all morning? That points somewhere specific.
 
Puffing up within minutes of eating? That points somewhere else entirely.
 
And those two things call for completely different approaches.
 
In under 15 minutes, I cover:
— The two main types of bloating and how to tell which one you have
— Why self-treating your gut often makes things worse, not better
— The difference between SIBO and colonic dysbiosis
— Why proper testing is non-negotiable if you actually want this resolved
— The most common mistakes I see women make when trying to fix their gut
 
This isn't about cutting more foods or adding more supplements. It's about finally understanding what your body is telling you so you can fix it at the root and stop feeling uncomfortable in your own skin.
