mBIOTA Labs Founder Krystyna Houser Shares Healing Journey and GI Health Innovations on "Heal with Kelly" Podcast

Krystyna Houser, founder of mBIOTA Labs and co-author of The Good LFE Cookbook, joined the Heal with Kelly podcast to share her inspiring journey from personal health struggles to creating innovative solutions for gastrointestinal (GI) health. Hosted by Kelly Noonan Gores, the episode delves into Krystyna's experience with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and how it led to the development of mBIOTA Elemental™, a palatable and effective elemental diet.

Krystyna revealed that her health challenges began postpartum, following a C-section and a three-month course of antibiotics that disrupted her gut health. After enduring symptoms like bloating, brain fog, and fatigue—and being dismissed by numerous doctors—she was eventually diagnosed with SIBO. The road to recovery involved the elemental diet, which she described as “the most horrific experience” due to the unpalatable options available at the time. This experience motivated her to create mBIOTA Elemental™, a scientifically formulated, palatable alternative designed to improve patient compliance and outcomes.

The podcast explored the role of elemental diets in treating GI disorders like SIBO, Crohn’s disease, and IBS. Krystyna highlighted the groundbreaking results of mBIOTA Elemental™ clinical trials, including a 100% compliance rate and significant symptom eradication. She also discussed the complementary Low-Fermentation Eating (LFE) protocol, which supports long-term gut health and inspired her cookbook featuring easy, family-friendly recipes.

Kelly and Krystyna emphasized the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare, particularly for women who often face delays in diagnosis. Krystyna encouraged listeners to trust their intuition, seek supportive healthcare providers, and remain persistent in finding solutions.
