What if your gut symptoms weren't random—but signals pointing to a deeper root cause?

In this episode of NHA Today, guest host Kylie Buckner, RN sits down with Dahlia Marin, RDN, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Gastrointestinal Nutritionist, to explore a functional, root-cause approach to gut health.

Dahlia specializes in complex digestive conditions like SIBO, IBS, and gut dysbiosis, combining clinical experience with her own personal healing journey. Together, Kylie and Dahlia unpack why so many people remain misdiagnosed, overlooked, or stuck in symptom management cycles—and what it really takes to heal.

They dive into the often-missed contributors to gut dysfunction, the importance of a full health timeline, and how nutrition—especially a plant-based, microbiome-focused approach—can support lasting gut repair.

This conversation is honest, practical, and empowering for anyone navigating digestive issues or looking to better understand their body.

• Why gut issues are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood
• The root causes behind IBS, SIBO, and gut imbalances
• How life events, stress, and diet shape gut health over time
• The role of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics
• How a plant-based approach can support gut healing
• Why a personalized, whole-person intake is essential
