The client had bowel movements only four days a week, bloating after every meal, acne, irregular 40 plus day cycles, daily fatigue, heavy periods with significant day one cramping and PMS, and dizziness on standing while training three times per week. A GI map showed signs of gut inflammation and overgrowth, including elevated methanogens associated with excess gas and constipation, and elevated calprotectin; H pylori was not a concern and parasite findings were treated as dysbiosis requiring gut terrain support. Blood and food journal insights pointed to blood sugar dysregulation, with fasting elevated glucose and elevated A1c, likely linked to a low protein breakfast and going more than five hours between meals.
