Motility Masterclass: Free Taster
free of charge
Module 1 of the Motility Masterclass, offered free. The piece that explains why recurrent SIBO is a motility problem, not a bacteria problem, and what controls the gut's cleaning mechanism in the first place.
If the framing fits, the full Masterclass picks up from there with the science, the levers, and the practices. If it doesn't, you've still walked away with the part of the picture most patients are missing.

Why a free first module
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 frame clicks, the next round of treatment is going to look like the last one. Module 1 is the frame. It's the part of the course that does the most work, so it goes out free.
What you'll walk away with
After the first module, you will be able to:
- Explain why recurrent SIBO is a motility problem, not 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.
- Decide whether the rest of the Masterclass is worth your time before paying for it.
What's in the taster
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 physician in Minnesota. My clinical focus is MCAS, motility disorders, hormones, and the places they overlap.
I made the first module free because the framing in it is what changes how the rest of the picture lands. If you only ever watch this one, that's fine. The point is that you stop chasing the wrong target.
Questions people ask
Is this really free?
Yes. Module 1 of the Motility Masterclass at no cost, no credit card. Create a Podia account so the lesson is saved to your library, and that's it.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. If the first module is useful, Modules 2 and 3 are available as the full Motility Masterclass for $97, or included in the Wayfarer membership at $32/mo. If it's not useful, you've spent 45 minutes and learned the upstream piece anyway.
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 if you decide to keep going.
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 planned for May 2026 and go into prokinetics, supplements, and herbal interventions.
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.
Take the first piece. Decide if the rest is worth it.
If the framing changes how you think about your gut, the full Masterclass is right there. If it doesn't, the upstream piece is yours to keep either way.
