The SIBO Masterclass

Find the Driver. Break the Cycle.

Two live evenings for practitioners who are clearing SIBO but not keeping it clear. Learn to confirm whether it's really SIBO, find the driver behind it, and build a plan that stops it coming back.

The clinical reality

You cleared the SIBO.
So why did it come back?

A positive breath test, a round of antimicrobials, a low FODMAP diet, and a patient who finally feels well again. Then, a few months later, it's back. Eradication is one piece of the puzzle, not the whole picture. If no one asked why the overgrowth was there, whatever put it there is still at work.

of patients in one study had a positive breath test again within nine months of successful antibiotic treatment. Long-term use of acid-suppressing medication was one of the factors linked to relapse.

44%

01

Decide when a breath test is warranted, and what to do with a borderline result.

By the end, you can

02

Tell SIBO apart from its lookalikes, including functional bloating.

03

Find the driver, using the history, the SIBO Driver Questionnaire and pathology.

04

Build a plan that treats the driver as well as the overgrowth, so it stays clear.

The missing link

Three questions to ask before you treat

Most SIBO protocols are built around eradication. This masterclass is built around the three questions that decide whether eradication will last.

01

Is it actually SIBO?

Breath tests are overused and often misread. Borderline results, false positives and lookalikes mean many "SIBO" cases deserve a second look.

Answered in Module 1

02

If it is, what's driving it?

The driver is often found in the history and the blood test, not the breath test. Find it, and the whole case starts to make sense.

Answered in Module 1

03

What will stop it coming back?

Treat the driver as well as the overgrowth, in the right order, and follow up with purpose. That's how you break the cycle.

Answered in Module 2

The curriculum

Two modules, taught in clinical depth

Two live evenings with me on Zoom, each with 60 minutes of teaching followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A. Together they take you from "is it really SIBO?" to a plan that lasts.

01


Module 1 · Tuesday 11 May 2027 · 6pm AEST

Assessing SIBO and Finding the Driver

Breath testing, looked at critically: when a SIBO test is actually warranted, the misinformation around it, what causes false positives, and what to do with a slightly positive result. Then the lookalikes that mimic SIBO, such as functional bloating, and why so many patients react to food with bloating.

From there, the ten drivers that keep SIBO coming back, and the pathology that finds them: blood tests that uncover hidden drivers such as autoimmune gastritis with low stomach acid, and stool metagenomics to judge how robust the microbiome is and what else it is contributing. Stool reflects the colon, not the small intestine, so it informs the case rather than diagnosing SIBO. We finish by putting it together with the SIBO Driver Questionnaire and a case walk-through.

The ten drivers · post-infectious · low stomach acid · stress · visceral hypersensitivity · medications · digestive enzyme insufficiency · bile insufficiency · thyroid · ileocaecal valve · migrating motor complex

Module 2 · Tuesday 18 May 2027 · 6pm AEST

Treating SIBO and Breaking the Cycle

Management that targets the drivers found in Module 1 as well as the overgrowth, going beyond the standard low FODMAP and antimicrobials protocol. What to address first, and where antimicrobials fit, including when the microbiome isn't robust enough for them yet.

Digestive support where stomach acid, enzymes or bile are driving the case. Supporting the migrating motor complex and the ileocaecal valve. Stress and visceral hypersensitivity as drivers in their own right. Then diet and lifestyle beyond low FODMAP, my top supplements by presentation, and the follow-up that keeps patients well.

Resources: The SIBO Diet and Lifestyle Cheat Sheet + The SIBO Supplement Guide

The SIBO Clinical Toolkit

You don't just learn it.
You leave with the tools to use it.

Three new clinical resources, built specifically for SIBO and SIBO-type presentations, and yours to keep.

The SIBO Driver Questionnaire

A patient-completed questionnaire that maps the drivers behind a SIBO-type presentation, so you know what to test and treat before you reach for antimicrobials.

Module 1

The SIBO Diet and Lifestyle Cheat Sheet

Every dietary and lifestyle recommendation I use when a patient presents like SIBO, confirmed or not, in one practical cheat sheet.

Module 2

The SIBO Supplement Guide

My top supplements by presentation: antimicrobials, prebiotics and the other categories I rely on in clinic.

Module 2

The earliest price is the best price

The masterclass runs live once. Enrol early and you pay less than anyone who joins later.

Who it's for

Built for practitioners who see SIBO every week

Whether you're a student, a new graduate meeting your first SIBO cases, or an experienced clinician tired of treating the same patient twice, this masterclass gives you a method that holds up in clinic.

Naturopaths

Build the plan around the driver, so you're not rotating antimicrobials and hoping this round sticks.

Nutritionists

Diet and lifestyle strategies that go beyond low FODMAP and fit the driver in front of you.

Dietitians

Where low FODMAP helps, where it stops, and the drivers it was never going to reach.

Allied health

Pharmacists, nurses and other practitioners: know when it's really SIBO, what's driving it, and when to refer.

New grads and students

A clear, step-by-step method to take into your first SIBO cases, from assessment through to follow-up.

Sound familiar?

You'll get the most from it if

  • Your patients improve on antimicrobials, then relapse within months
  • You're not sure what to do with a borderline breath test
  • You suspect some of your "SIBO" cases are something else
  • You want to know which blood tests to order, and why
  • You're ready to move past the same low FODMAP and antimicrobial protocol
  • You want tools you can use in clinic straight away

After two evenings

What changes in your clinic

  • Because $299 is the lowest the masterclass will ever be, and the early bird closes at 11:59pm AEST on Monday 30 November 2026. Your place is locked in straight away, and if something comes up on the night, the recordings are included.

  • Yes. Everyone who enrols receives downloadable recordings of both modules, available for 12 months. You'll miss the live Q&A, but not the teaching or the toolkit.

  • Most SIBO training focuses on eradication. This masterclass focuses on what sits either side of it: confirming it's really SIBO, finding the driver, and managing the case so it doesn't come back. If your patients keep relapsing, this is the missing piece.

  • No. New graduates are welcome, and the method is taught step by step, from assessment through to management. If you already treat SIBO, the focus on drivers and recurrence is where you'll find the most new value.

  • Yes. You'll receive a certificate of attendance for 2 hours of education, which you can use to claim CPE points through your professional association (each association sets its own rules). It's a certificate of attendance, not a certification.

  • Yes. It's $299 until 11:59pm AEST Monday 30 November 2026, then $370 until registrations close when Module 1 starts at 6pm AEST Tuesday 18 May 2027. After the live run, the masterclass becomes a self-paced course on The Academy at $425.

  • Absolutely. Prices are in Australian dollars, and the time zone list above shows when the sessions run where you are. The recordings cover you if the live time doesn't suit.
