One of the biggest challenges when struggling with gut issues is getting answers to your many questions about cause and treatment. With this in mind, we in the content creator space, work hard to bring you specific and actionable information to help answer your questions.
On this episode of Dr. Tony Hampton’s podcast, Protecting your NEST, my sister Sarah Aitken, an expert in Diabetes and Insulin Resistance, and I discuss the overlapping causes of, and treatments for, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and insulin resistance. While they are distinct disorders, there are several overlapping factors that contribute to both. Tune into this podcast to learn more.
Overlapping Factors
Certain dietary factors and lifestyle habits can contribute to both IBS and insulin resistance. These include:
Processed foods: Consumption of highly processed and high-sugar foods can lead to inflammation and weight gain, both of which are linked to both IBS and insulin resistance.
Inflammation: Both IBS and insulin resistance are associated with chronic inflammation. In IBS, inflammation can lead to heightened sensitivity in the gut, causing symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. In insulin resistance, inflammation can impair the body's ability to effectively use insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
Gut Microbiome: The gut microbiome, the community of bacteria living in the digestive tract, plays a crucial role in both conditions. Imbalances in the gut microbiome (dysbiosis) have been linked to both IBS and insulin resistance.
Stress: Chronic stress can exacerbate both IBS and insulin resistance.
Genetics: Genetic factors may also play a role in both conditions, increasing susceptibility.
Treatment Considerations
While the exact causes of IBS and insulin resistance are complex and not fully understood, addressing the overlapping factors can be very helpful in managing both conditions. Treatment strategies often include:
Dietary changes: Adopting a healthy, balanced diet that emphasizes whole foods, fiber, and lean protein can help improve gut health and insulin sensitivity.
Lifestyle modifications: Regular exercise, stress management techniques (like meditation or yoga), and adequate sleep can support overall health and well-being.
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan. If you are experiencing symptoms of IBS or insulin resistance, they can help you determine the best approach for managing your condition.

Fifteen-Minute Fajitas (Low FODMAP)
10 Minutes prep • 5 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free
10 Minutes prep • 5 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Lactose-free • Serves 3 • Ok to make ahead: Steps 1-3
Fajitas are delicious and they are really quite easy to make. You can make them with chicken, beef, shrimp, or a combination of the three and toss in different colored peppers, green onions, or even green chilies to add flavor and color. This recipe comes together in 15 minutes so it’s perfect for a weeknight meal, family gathering, or party when you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. This very quick recipe delivers fabulous fajita flavor and color with just a handful of ingredients. Serve it with the traditional fajita fixings or toss it on a salad for a lower-carb version.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons (1.9 oz) olive oil
2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced (12 - 16 oz)
2 tablespoons Smoke N Sanity Fajita Marinade and Seasoning (use code IBSGC15 for 15% discount)
1/2 red bell pepper (4 oz)
6 green onions (1.3 oz) (green part only), sliced
1/3 avocado (2.8 oz), sliced
Lime wedges for serving
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (.07 oz)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (.03 oz)
Directions
(1) Prepare the chicken: This step is optional but results in a more flavorful and tender chicken. Remove chicken from the package, and put it in one layer on a rimmed plate or baking dish. Season both sides of each piece lightly with Kosher salt (about 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon per side). Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use, ideally about 4 hours before cooking or overnight.
(2) Prepare: Slice the chicken, bell peppers, and green onions.
(3) Cook the chicken: Put a medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken to the pan and spread out in one layer. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning. Cook for a minute or two, stirring and tossing the chicken. Add the green onions and bell peppers. Continue cooking and tossing until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove from the heat.
(4) Plate and serve: Serve warm with sliced avocado and lime wedges. If you want to make it more like traditional fajitas, serve with warm corn tortillas, lactose free sour cream, and grated extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!
Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
