We're wrapping up the season with one final episode! During this season I had the opportunity to talk to some amazing experts who specialize in gut health, who have helped me open my eyes to new perspectives and the way gut issues are treated across the region.
In today's episode, I really wanted to take a step back and start at the beginning, and really share with you my own story and why I feel like these conversations with these experts have changed my own life. I talk about when my symptoms with IBS first began, my feeling of shame and insecurity, the relationship between IBS and nutrition and what I would tell myself as a little girl when I first started to experience these symptoms.
In this episode, we cover:
- My own story with IBS [1:58]
- Chronic constipation, pain and insecurity [5:17]
- Pushing through the pain and developing a mental toughness [11:03]
- Dealing with an IBS flareup[14:16]
- Learning about nutrition and facing disordered eating behaviour [18:00]
- Researching IBS and pairing it with my intuition [22:42]
- Hindsight is 2020 [25:49]
What if you could develop skills to help manage IBS symptoms in only 10 minutes per day? Today's episode is sponsored by Mahana Therapeutics, who has made cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) more accessible through their app, Mahana IBS. This is a new app that offers evidence-based CBT to reduce the severity of IBS symptoms - until the end of June 2022 this is available at no-cost for eligible patients.
