About Gut Reactions: Calm Your IBS & Master Your Gut Health By Calming Your Nervous System

From the publisher's feed

And even better, calming your flare ups is actually way more simple than you…

think..

If you’ve spent years stuck in the exhausting cycle of symptoms, diets, flare-ups, fear, and confusion, this show will help you break free by finally learning what’s really triggering your symptoms.

I’m Atavia, and I struggled with debilitating and embarrassing IBS symptoms throughout most of my 20’s.

After years of hitting dead ends and brick wall answers from medical professionals, I knew I’d have to find the answer myself.

After training in Nutritional Therapy, I realised how your Nervous System is the biggest and often most over looked factor in IBS flare ups.

I reduced my symptoms, then helped others do the same in clinic, and now I'm on a mission to help busy, stressed out or anxious professionals to do the same.

Tune in every Monday & Wednesday, for your weekly dose of IBS truths and regular Nervous System calming rituals. You’ll not only learn how your Nervous System is driving flare ups, but how to genuinely master your gut health, reduce flare ups, and take back control of your life.. All in the time it takes you to cook the dinner.
