In this episode we explore a key concept - GI disorders (like IBS and Crohn’s Disease) are not just physical, they’re mind-body disorders.

This means that most GI disorders are not JUST physical disorders. In addition to the physical part of the disorder they are influenced by psychological factors like stress, emotions, and even past trauma.

Understanding the gut-brain connection helps explain why stress often triggers GI symptoms and it also provides a much better roadmap to healing.

We’ll talk about three effective, research-backed treatments that can help manage your symptoms. Plus, we’ll explain how simple relaxation techniques like diaphragmatic breathing can calm your gut and support long-term healing.
