In this special episode of the Gastro Girl Podcast, we're giving listeners of all ages a playful, educational sneak peek into the world of Woof Chat Kids—a creative kids education initiative from the Giz Kids Foundation.
Now, thanks to a partnership with the Gastro Girl Patient Institute (GGPI), Woof Chat Kids is expanding its mission with Oliver Super Beardie—our fuzzy superhero and digestive health education dog—leading the way to help kids better understand their gut health and overall wellness.
Join host Jacqueline Gaulin, expert guest Dr. Neil Stollman, and Oliver, as they explore belly bugs (a.k.a. the gut microbiome), explain how food fuels good gut health, and take on the "Battle of the Bugs" in true superhero style.
This episode blends science, storytelling, and silliness to make health education fun for kids—and the grown-ups who love them.
Special thanks to John Kennedy, the incredible puppeteer and voice behind Oliver Super Beardie, whose creativity and heart bring our superhero pup to life in every adventure.

If you've been struggling with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC), you know that traditional laxatives don't always work consistently—and they're not always ideal for long-term use. But what if there was a drug-free, FDA-cleared alternative designed to support your body's natural rhythm?
In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Darren Brenner, gastroenterologist and motility expert from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, to explore the Vibrant capsule—a new non-drug treatment that uses gentle vibrations to stimulate natural gut motility.
Tune in as we discuss:
- What makes Vibrant different from traditional constipation treatments
- Who may benefit most from this new approach
- How it works with the body—not against it
- What this could mean for the future of constipation care
As always, speak with your healthcare provider to determine if the Vibrant capsule is right for you.

Is your heartburn more dangerous than you think?
In this first episode of our 4-part patient-focused series, we break down the serious risks of untreated acid reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—including its connection to Barrett's esophagus, the only known precursor to esophageal cancer.
Dr. Dan Lister, a leading Foregut Surgeon and founder of the Arkansas Heartburn Treatment Center, joins us to explain:
- How GERD can progress silently over time
- Why Barrett's esophagus matters—and how it's detected
- What red flags to look out for (including when reflux suddenly disappears)
- The latest treatment options that could help prevent cancer
Whether you've been living with reflux for years or are newly diagnosed, this episode is packed with life-saving insights.
This special 4-part series is sponsored by Castle Biosciences and produced in collaboration with leading clinicians and researchers dedicated to improving patient outcomes.
