Quiz Outcomes

1.
Your Gut Might Be Talking - But It’s Not Screaming (Yet)
Image Source
You’re showing a few signs of digestive imbalance- but not enough to strongly suggest SIBO at this point. That doesn’t mean your symptoms don’t matter. Fatigue, cravings, or occasional bloat could still be early warnings from your gut that something’s off with your microbiome, motility, or stress response.This is the perfect time to take action before things escalate.→ Start with “Calm the Gut, Beat the Bloat” guide and explore how nervous system regulation, stress-free eating, and daily gut rituals can give you more clarity, energy, and momentum.
2.
Gut Issues Are Brewing- You’re in the SIBO Risk Zone
Image Source
You’re showing signs of disrupted digestion- possibly slow motility, food intolerance, bloating, or brain fog. While your score doesn’t confirm full-blown SIBO, it puts you squarely in the “this needs to be looked at” category. Many clients in this range have early-stage hydrogen or methane SIBO—or they’re cycling through flares without realizing it.You’re not imagining things. You just haven’t had the right strategy.→ Not sure where to start? Order a practitioner-grade breath test kit and get expert feedback- so you don’t waste time guessing.Or schedule a SIBO Strategy Session to decode your symptoms HERE.
3.
Strong Signs of SIBO - Your Gut’s Sending Smoke Signals
Image Source
Your results show a high likelihood of SIBO. Bloating, discomfort after meals, irregular bowel movements, anxiety, fatigue, and food sensitivities? These aren’t random - they’re textbook indicators of bacterial overgrowth or fermentation in the small intestine.You might also be flagging for a specific type of SIBO - like methane (constipation and nausea), hydrogen (gas and urgency), or hydrogen sulfide (sulfur sensitivity, burning, anxiety).This is where things often get misdiagnosed - or mistreated with one-size-fits-all protocols that make it worse.→ It’s time for a personalized plan.

This Screams SIBO - And It’s Probably Not Your First Rodeo
Image Source
You’ve likely been dealing with this for way too long. Your symptoms aren’t just annoying—they’re disruptive. Chronic bloating, sulfur sensitivity, constipation or diarrhea, zero energy, and that “I’ve tried everything” feeling? These are hallmark signs of advanced or complex SIBO - especially hydrogen sulfide, which is the most misunderstood and mistreated type of all.It’s time to stop fighting your body with endless restrictive diets and random protocols - and start working with someone who knows how to decode the complexity.→ Book a VIP SIBO Day with me. In one powerful session, we’ll review your health history, labs, symptoms, and goals- and you’ll walk away with a real, customized plan. No fluff. Only love, clarity, and proven strategy.
