The Truth about IBS & Gut Health

GUT HEALTH & IBS 🧠🥦

It’s more than just a digestive issue.

It’s a functional gastrointestinal disorder, which means it’s a disorder of the gut-brain axis.

The fact that in 50% of people IBS starts as a major psychological stress or trauma speaks volumes to just how complex things can be.

Which means that if you want to fully resolve your issues and get your life back, you need to take care of all the important aspects of your health, including psychological health and your social environment.

The good news is, if you’ve seen all sorts of doctors and specialists and have ruled out any pathologies/diseases, yet you’re still suffering every day, your road to recovery is right here; I can help you!

In a lot of cases, overcoming the digestive issues alone can help resolve a lot of the psychological and social stress associated with them, and restore mental and emotional wellbeing. However, in some cases, if the psychological and social environments are continuing to negatively contribute to your state of disorder, then focusing on the gut health aspect alone will be difficult.

There’s a growing body of evidence that shows that using behavioral and psychological interventions, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, can have overall positive impacts on gut health, irrespective of whether someone changes their diet in any way.

People are complex. Don’t adopt a reductionist view of health issues, you’ll be missing the forest through the trees.
