46 - IBS, It's Not All In Your Head - But Your Brain Has A LOT To Do With It

Sorry we ghosted you, but here's the tea on where the bloody hell we've been!

Also, this weeks episode we're exploring the gut–brain axis, and a program called Nerva that we've been recommending to clients for a few years now with some genuinely incredible results.

We're joined by Amy Coen, Accredited Practising Dietitian at Nerva, a clinically validated gut-brain therapy program for IBS and other disorders of gut-brain interaction. Amy brings firsthand clinical experience as well insight into her role educating healthcare practitioners across Australia to deepen their understanding of the gut-brain axis and its role in gastrointestinal symptoms.

In this episode we cover:

What the gut–brain axis actually is (and why it matters for digestive symptoms)
How the brain influences bloating, pain and bowel changes
What Nerva is, how it's structured, and who it's for?
How long before people start noticing results?
Some interesting (and funny) case studies - #freethefart
Why hypnotherapy can feel confronting — and what the science actually says
Is Nerva appropriate for those with suspected or diagnosed endometriosis?

So whether you're a practitioner or someone navigating your own gut health journey, this one is worth a listen.

If you are interested in Nerva and you are a current or prospective client - please reach out to us at directly hello@hormonehealthstudio.com or get some further information on Nervas website or Youtube.
