Motility Masterclass: Free Taster
free of charge
Module 1 of the Motility Masterclass, free. It explains why recurrent SIBO is a motility problem rather than a bacteria problem, and what controls the gut's cleaning mechanism in the first place.
Once you've watched it, you'll understand the piece most patients are missing, and the full Masterclass picks up from there with the science, the levers, and the daily practices.

Why the first module is free
Most patients with recurrent SIBO have already done a round of treatment, felt better, and watched it come back. Then a second round. Then they start wondering whether the diagnosis was right, or whether they're stuck with this.
The piece almost no one explains is that the bacteria are downstream. Motility is upstream. Until that idea clicks, the next round of treatment is going to look like the last one. Module 1 explains that upstream piece. It's the part of the course that changes the most for people, which is why it's free.
What you'll walk away with
After the first module, you will be able to:
- Explain why recurrent SIBO is a motility problem rather than a bacteria problem.
- Describe what the gut's cleaning mechanism (the migrating motor complex) actually does.
- Connect chronic constipation, liver detox, and gut overgrowth in plain language.
- Know what the rest of the Masterclass covers and where it takes you next.
What's in the free module
One module, self-paced. About 45 minutes including the summary and references.

Module 1: Why Motility Matters (The Foundation)
The SIBO-motility connection. Why treatment alone isn't enough. How motility completes liver detox. The hidden cost of chronic constipation. Gut motility 101 in plain language.
Who's teaching
I'm Dr. Joyce Knieff, a naturopathic doctor in Minnesota. My clinical focus is MCAS, motility disorders, hormones, and the places they overlap.
I made the first module free because it changes how you see everything that comes after it. Once you understand that motility is upstream, you stop aiming at the wrong target, and that alone can change how the next round of treatment goes.
Questions people ask
Is this really free?
Yes. Module 1 of the Motility Masterclass is free, with no credit card. Create a free Podia account so the lesson saves to your library, and you're in.
What's in the rest of the Masterclass?
Modules 2 and 3 cover the science (serotonin, gut hormones, microbiome, thyroid, vagus nerve, the migrating motor complex) and the lifestyle levers that actually move motility. Modules 4 to 7 are Part 2: prokinetics, supplements, herbal interventions, and how to sequence them. Each part is $97 on its own, and the membership ($47/mo) includes both parts and every other course in the library.
How is this different from your TikTok videos?
Same teacher, more structure. The free module is the foundational lecture from the paid course. It moves in order, has references, and connects to the rest of the curriculum when you decide to keep going.
Is this medical advice?
No. The lesson is educational. It gives you a framework and the language to talk with your provider. Treatment decisions stay with your provider.

Once motility makes sense, the rest of the picture does too. Module 1 is free today, and the full Masterclass is ready whenever you want to keep going.
