2025/11/04

An IBS diagnosis gets handed to you when everything else is ruled out—so it feels like the diagnostic equivalent of a shrug. Where do you go from there? On this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Will “Dr. B” Bulsiewicz—a classically trained gastroenterologist who rebuilt his approach after getting sick himself.

Hearing the word “cancer” changes everything. Overnight, your life becomes a blur of appointments, decisions, and fear. Doctors tell you what to do, when to do it, and how to feel — and somewhere in the noise, your own voice gets lost. Too often, you’re made to believe there’s only one way forward, especially when it comes to hormone replacement therapy after breast cancer. But that isn’t the whole story.

If you’ve ever walked out of a gynecology appointment still dealing with itching, burning, or a lingering sense that something’s off—this conversation is for you.

Your doctor dismisses your unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain as "stress"—but the real culprit may be microscopic holes in your intestinal wall that conventional medicine refuses to acknowledge.

Your chronic symptoms are information, and here's how to listen: Every bite you take sends biochemical signals that either promote healing or drive inflammation, yet when you connect your symptoms to dietary patterns, you're often dismissed as "being dramatic" or told "there's no evidence for that."
