The question that I get asked often from clients, that truly breaks my heart is, "is my body broken because of my IBS?" The short answer is no. The long answer is there's something very real that's going on and that is going wrong in your body, but the good news is that it can be managed. During this episode, I explain why your body may feel "broken", the pathology and its impact on your gut-brain interaction, and routines and other guidance you can incorporate to help with your IBS symptoms. In this episode, we cover:
- Why your body may feel "broken"
- My own experience with IBS
- The disorder between your gut and brain
- Guidance and strategies to help with IBS symptoms
- Fueling your body with fiber
