Meet Dr. Izabella Wentz

Dr. Izabella Wentz is a compassionate, innovative, solution-focused integrative pharmacist dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions. Her passion stems from her own diagnosis with IBS and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Beyond her beautiful children, her most proud accomplishment is creating a roadmap that has helped thousands of people get into remission via her NYT bestselling books, Hashimoto’s Root Cause and Hashimoto's Protocol. She is hoping to now help broaden the understanding on getting IBS and IBD into remission with her newest book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

What We Talk About

  • Dr. Izabella’s journey with Hashimoto’s and how it led her to explore root cause approaches beyond medication.

  • Why standard thyroid testing often misses Hashimoto’s and the importance of testing antibodies, not just TSH.

  • The difference between Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism, and how autoimmunity can exist years before diagnosis.

  • Common symptoms including fatigue, hair loss, brain fog, anxiety, and digestive issues.

  • The connection between Hashimoto’s and IBS, and how gut dysfunction can precede autoimmune disease.

  • Root causes including stress, food sensitivities, toxins, infections, and gut imbalances.

  • Why IBS is a broad diagnosis with multiple drivers like infections, dysbiosis, and food triggers.
