SIBO and Insulin Resistance Education Lesson Plan Courses
The two plans you’ve been asking for: SIBO and Insulin Resistance
Plans #6 and #7 in the self-paced collection are live — 12 modules and 61 bite-sized lessons for two of the patient populations that need education most.
When we shipped the five-plan collection, the roadmap at the bottom made two promises: gut restoration education for the SIBO and IBS patients still searching for answers, and a cardiometabolic plan for the patients sitting between “a little high” on their biomarkers and a real diagnosis.
Today, both land. Same format that’s worked across the first five: short lessons a patient can read on their phone, organized as a library they return to — not a curriculum they have to keep up with. Below, the full tour of what’s inside each one.
SIBO Education
For the patient who’s been told “it’s just IBS” for years — bloated after every meal, food list shrinking, and still no explanation that holds together.
“For the patient who’s eliminated half their diet and is still bloated — this explains why, and what comes next.”
What’s covered across the 6 modules
- Understanding SIBO: The Foundations — the small intestine’s normal job, what SIBO actually is, the three subtypes (hydrogen, methane/IMO, hydrogen sulfide), the deep SIBO–IBS overlap, and the root causes that set the stage.
- Symptoms, Diagnosis & What’s Happening Inside — recognizing the symptom patterns, breath testing explained (and its limits), ruling out look-alike conditions, and how SIBO disrupts digestion and nutrient absorption.
- Treatment Approaches — the multi-phase treatment framework, rifaximin and other antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, the elemental diet, and why methane and hydrogen sulfide cases are treated differently.
- Eating with SIBO — why food matters (and why it isn’t the cause), low-FODMAP basics, other SIBO-friendly approaches, eating during active treatment, reintroduction, and avoiding the over-restriction trap.
- Preventing Recurrence — the migrating motor complex (the gut’s “cleanup crew”), meal spacing and fasting between meals, prokinetics, stress and the vagus nerve, and sleep.
- Long-Term Gut Health & Living Well — tracking symptoms, recognizing recurrence early, and the gut–brain connection and mental health.
SIBO is one of the most common — and most missed — causes of chronic digestive symptoms, and the patients who finally get the diagnosis arrive with years of accumulated confusion. The treatment is multi-phase, the diet advice online is contradictory, and recurrence is the rule rather than the exception when motility isn’t addressed. This plan walks the whole arc — so the 11pm questions go to the library instead of your inbox.
Insulin Resistance Education
For the patients whose labs are creeping in the wrong direction — prediabetes, “borderline” blood sugar, stubborn belly fat — and who left the visit without understanding any of it.
“The patients sitting between ‘a little high’ and a real diagnosis — this is the plan that catches them on the way.”
What’s covered across the 6 modules
- Understanding Insulin Resistance: The Foundations — what insulin does in a healthy body, what resistance is, how it develops over time, who’s most at risk, and the signs, symptoms, and tests used to detect it.
- Why It Matters: Health Impact and Risks — the path from insulin resistance to prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, the heart, weight and belly fat, other linked conditions — and the good news: it can be improved.
- Eating to Improve Insulin Sensitivity — how carbs affect blood sugar, glycemic index and load made simple, building a balanced plate, fiber, protein, and healthy fats, smart swaps, and meal timing and mindful eating.
- Moving Your Body — why activity is one of the most powerful insulin-sensitivity tools, beginner-friendly aerobic work, strength training and why muscle matters, and reducing sedentary time.
- Lifestyle Factors Beyond Diet and Exercise — sleep and blood sugar, stress and cortisol, alcohol, smoking, and other habits, plus medications and working with the care team.
- Making Change Last — realistic, personalized goals, tracking the right markers, overcoming barriers and setbacks, building a support system, and the long-term plan for staying on track.
Anyone told they have insulin resistance, prediabetes, or “borderline” blood sugar. Patients with risk factors — family history, PCOS, weight gain around the middle — before problems start. And every patient who’s heard “watch your diet and exercise more” without ever being shown how.
That makes seven
The new plans join five already live in the collection — full tour of those in the original lineup post.
The medication does part of the work. This plan handles the rest.
The reference she returns to as her body changes — at 35, 45, and 55.
TRT, peptides, and the pillars of optimization — built for the phone between meetings.
From the tick bite to long-term recovery — co-infections, herx reactions, and pacing.
Source → symptoms → remediation → detox → recovery, in the order patients ask.
Seven plans. One thesis.
These are the patient populations that need the most education and get the least of your clock. A SIBO patient’s questions span months of treatment phases. An insulin resistance patient’s span years of habit change. None of it fits in a 15-minute visit — so they go home and Google, and come back with worse information than they left with.
These plans give that education back — without giving back your evenings. Clone, brand, assign in under a minute. The patient gets a library they can return to. You get your evening back.

Seven down, more on the way
We’re continuing to convert our most-used drip-sequence templates into self-paced lesson plans wherever the format fits the patient better. Next up:
- 🌗 Sleep Hygiene — foundational education patients can revisit anytime.
- 🧠 Cognitive Health — brain fog, memory, and the metabolic + lifestyle pieces that protect long-term cognition.
