Gut Health, Hormones, and Digestive Function
Mar 10, 2026
Constipation.
Diarrhoea.
Reflux that keeps coming back.
These are some of the most common digestive complaints — yet the real drivers are often more complex than we’re told.
In part two of our Gut Health Series on Master Stress with Dr. S, I’m again joined by nutrition and functional medicine practitioner Haley Paul as we explore what may actually be happening beneath these symptoms.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why constipation isn’t always solved by simply adding fibre
- How methane SIBO can slow gut transit
- Common patterns behind chronic diarrhoea and reflux
- Why low stomach acid can sometimes contribute to heartburn
- The important connection between gut health and hormones
- What a clinician-led gut protocol can actually look like
We also walk through the typical phases practitioners use when supporting gut healing — from addressing dietary foundations to targeted testing and interventions.
The key message:
Gut protocols should be personalised, structured, and guided by symptoms — not guesswork.

In the next episode, we’ll explore testing and how to interpret results without creating more confusion.
