In this episode, Elwin Robinson sits down with Steven Wright, founder and chief formulator of Healthy Gut, to explore a different approach to resolving common digestive issues. After suffering with IBS, bloating, and gut pain for years, Steven put his electrical engineering brain to work reverse-engineering his own recovery. Together they dig into why elimination diets fail long term, why low stomach acid is more common than most people think, and how to actually rebuild your digestive capacity using Betaine HCL, DGL, L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and butyrate — at the doses that actually work.
