In this episode I welcome on one of my hero's in medicine, Dr. Mark Pimentel. Without hesitation, he changed my career trajectory for the better when I first came across his work in 2007. Since then he has been a mentor, adviser, and educator of me as I have dedicated myself to helping patients dealing with Irritable Bowel syndrome, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, and Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth.
We covered so many amazing topics in this episode including:
