While he suffered from IBS, Stensrud notes that his diet consisted primarily of processed foods, simple carbohydrates, and alcohol. These factors, combined with medications, a stressful job, and poor sleep quality, led him to develop bloating, gut pains, brain fog, sudden food sensitivities, and worsening allergies.
Because rest alone did not improve his symptoms, Stensrud made gradual lifestyle and diet adjustments, developed intermittent fasting protocols, and began adopting functional medicine into his healthcare regime. He also requested lab work to test for dysbiosis, food sensitivities, metal toxicity, and cholesterol and vitamin imbalances in his blood.
Through the results, Stensrud discovered the presence of parasitic organisms, dysbiotic bacteria, low levels of beneficial gut bacteria, and yeast overgrowth in his epithelial cells. He addressed these with a combination of low-glycemic foods, herbal remedies, prebiotics, and probiotics; integrating these with his aforementioned lifestyle and diet changes allowed him to eliminate his symptoms altogether. Based on his experiences, he concludes that the most effective way to alleviate chronic digestive health issues is to treat the whole body.
While functional medicine tests are helpful in identifying issues, they can also be expensive to conduct, which is why Stensrud recommends that readers first adopt a diet of whole, organic foods rich in lean proteins and healthy fats for metabolism and brain function, respectively. Intermittent fasting is also an effective way of addressing IBS symptoms, as this will stimulate the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Furthermore, Stensrud found that sleep, exercise, and stress management are also crucial for restoring and maintaining optimal gut health. For this reason, he encourages readers to develop a daily routine with regular bedtimes, engage in outdoor activities, and lower their stress levels where possible.
As a functional health community, Agriris offers additional lifestyle tips, food plans, recipes, and integrative medicine strategies for digestive health. Stensrud encourages anyone interested in improving their overall wellbeing to join the community for personalized support.
