Hi! I'm Nikki. I love geeking out about the gut! ​I make videos covering topics such as digestion, the microbiota, nutrition, herbal medicine, the gut-brain axis, and conditions such as leaky gut syndrome, candida overgrowth, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).
I'm also one of the hosts of the IBS Freedom Podcast 😘

This weeks video is taking a little longer to edit - hoping to post it over the weekend or possibly Monday. (It's not a crazy long video or anything, I just had a busy week this week)
In the mean time, I have two questions for ya!
1. What are your questions about biofilm at this point in the series? 🤔
Is there something I haven't covered in the series yet that you're hoping to learn?
Keep in mind, the next handful of videos are about biofilm disruptor supplements (are they legit or snake oil/garbage, how do they work, which ones are the best, which ones are the worst) and die-off/herxing reactions.
2. Are ya'll enjoying my video edits these days? It takes a lot of time to insert funny GIFs, TV references/clips, and stock video into each video. But, I've been having fun with it! And, I think it makes them a lot more fun to watch 😘
A few years ago, I had a virtual assistant who handled my editing and uploading. But, I started noticing quality issues with her work (especially in the video descriptions, since English was not her native language). We ended up parting ways a while back, and I picked up the editing of my videos shortly before the rebooted SIBO Mistakes series came out in February 2025.
So, throw this dog a bone every now and then and compliment the artistic/humorous aspects of my videos. It takes a long time to sprinkle those in and I want to know that I'm not the only one laughing at my jokes 🤣

Tomorrow's video will be all about WHO (in the gut microbiota) MAKES BIOFILM. Cast your vote below - do you want me to spoil something from the video tonight? If this pole gets at least 75% "yes" answers, I'll put a spoiler in the comments of this post later tonight 🥳

Which of these sweeteners should I cover first?
As the research phase of the biofilm series winds down, I'm looking toward my next big project - how low and zero calorie SWEETENERS affect the gut and the microbiota. I'm eventually going to cover all of these (and more!), but I'm curious - which one would you be MOST excited to see?

How does Iron affect the microbiota, pathogen virulence factors, and biofilm formation? I'm spending my afternoon down a DEEP rabbit hole.
Make sure you're subscribed so you know when the video drops 👀

Which of the following do you think is MOST associated with gut microbial biofilm formation? (Submit your answer before my next biofilm video goes live if you want eternal bragging rights)

The next Biofilm video should be up later today! I was hoping to have it ready by lunchtime, but you can see how that panned out haha. I will get back to work on editing after I meet my Patreons for our monthly call*

Biofilm, Biofilm, BIOFILM!
(Don't say his name three times or he will appear)
I'm wrapping up my mega-humongous-enormous BIOFILM research project and all I can tell you at this point is - OOF, it's been a doozie.
Before I start mapping out the videos that are going to come from all this learnin', I want to ask one more time - what are your biggest questions about biofilms? I want to try to cover as many of your questions as possible when I make these videos!
ETA: Mid-September? Stay tuned!
