In this episode, Dr. Anne Marie Barter joins the show to discuss gut health and her experience practicing functional medicine in Colorado. Dr. Barter specializes in working with patients who have neurotransmitter disorders, such as anxiety and depression, as well as adrenal issues. "I also see a lot of anxiety and depression. I think that that's how linked some of the some of the traumas to it. I mean, because if you're scared to eat all the time, you know, that that can be very stressful and very traumatic and then other lingering traumas and it's a cycle. " - Dr. Ann-Marie Barter Dr. Ann Marie Barter is a graduate of the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, an accredited 4- year Doctoral program that is considered a leader in evidence-based medicine, and the first Chiropractic school to be awarded a federal research grant. Her expertise in Functional Medicine expanded from basic metabolic function starting in the gut to working with patients with thyroid issues and hormonal imbalances to those with serious symptoms from toxic exposures such as heavy metals and various mold species. As well, she sees many patients suffering emotional disturbances such as anxiety and depression stemming from neurotransmitter imbalances. She is a firm believer in the “test-don’t-guess” method of diagnosis and uses many gold-standard diagnostic methodologies such as the GI Map, OAT and DUTCH tests to help get to the root cause of her patients’ symptoms. Not satisfied with helping just those in her immediate area, in 2019 Dr. Barter launched her first podcast. She regularly chats with experts from a variety of natural health specialties about a range of topics spanning all things functional medicine. In 2020 she added a YouTube channel to her repertoire to complement her podcast. In 2021 she changed the name of her show from the Fearless Health Podcast to the Gut Health Reset. She still discusses functional and alternative medicine with different experts, she just now focuses the show on the gut, since that is where our health (and its inverse) begins, after all. Dr. Barter also delves into the complexities of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), noting that it can have various causes and symptoms such as bloating, severe food restrictions, constipation or diarrhea. She often runs stool tests to determine the root cause of IBS in her patients. She has found that many IBS patients have experienced trauma in their pasts.  The conversation also touches on the role of stress in gut health and how addressing stress can be just as important as antimicrobial treatments when rebuilding a healthy gut microbiome.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Shannon Scholl and Dr. Onyx Adegbola explore the fascinating world of the microbiome and the central conflict of how to treat IBS, while empowering their patients to be good stewards of their own gut bacteria and overcome their digestive symptoms. "It is figure outable. It just takes time and interest. And I love a good puzzle. I think my strategy is really listening initially and getting a clue and then heading in that direction." - Dr. Shannon Scholl, Dr Onyx Adegbola Dr. Scholl graduated Summa cum Laude from NC State and earned her medical doctorate and Masters in Public Health from UNC at Chapel Hill while raising her two girls.  She was lucky enough to have several excellent mentors, including Doug Drossman of Rome Criteria fame.
