Is Your Bloating A Sign Of A More Serious Condition?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and
InsideTracker. If you have felt the uncomfortable sensation of your
stomach expanding after eating, you are not alone. Up to 30% of
Americans experience bloating and distention regularly, which are
common symptoms of an imbalance in the gut, and they may even be a
sign of other health conditions. Functional Medicine places a high
value on a healthy gut and uses a whole-body approach to get to the
root cause of bloating. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr.
Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Todd LePine, and Dr. George Papanicolaou about
why so many people experience bloating and the importance of
treating it. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist
who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in
Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped
thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and
wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her
practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize
nutrition in healing. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth
Medical School and is board certified in Internal Medicine,
specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute
for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining
The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch
in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine’s focus at The UltraWellness
Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality
by restoring the natural balance of both the mind and the body. Dr.
George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathic Medicine and is board certified in Family Medicine from
Abington Memorial Hospital. Upon graduation from his residency, he
joined the Indian Health Service. In 2000, he founded Cornerstone

Medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2015, he
