 Today we’re diving into a question I hear a lot: Can your diet heal IBS?  The truth is complicated but for the most part it’s a no, diets don’t heal IBS. They can be an incredible tool, but they’re not the cure. And when we rely only on food as the answer, we can actually end up more anxious, more restricted, and further away from true healing—which sadly I have seen a lot. Let’s talk today about the science of why food affects IBS, what role it actually can plays and what else we can focus on—especially when it comes to calming the nervous system and finding freedom with food again.

Today, I want to take you back to where my IBS story really began. It wasn’t just about stomach pain, bloating, or food sensitivities — though all of that came later. For me, it started with one of the most transformational — and most traumatic — experiences of my life, which was the birth of my son in 2017. I want to tell you this story because I believe it illustrates how sometimes the origins of our IBS can be hidden in clear day because we don’t quite understand what IBS and why it starts in the first place. The personal story I’m going to tell you today is meant to serve as a mirror, so you can look back and potentially trace the roots of your IBS.

Today’s episode is close to my heart because I think this is the episode that I would have needed most when I was trying to heal my IBS. Also, I think the information and mindset shifts I’m going to share today would have probably been the most difficult for me to grasp at the time. If you are approaching healing your IBS as a project, or you are approaching it too tightly or too loosely, this approach could be the number one impediment to your healing, and you may not even be aware of it. Often when we are going through a crisis, there is a desperation for a solution that can develop. Today we’ll talk about how to approach your IBS with lightness and seriousness can make all the difference in your healing.

The question of if how and when to incorporate probiotics is most certainly a hot topic when it comes to healing IBS. Most of us know that when it comes to healing our IBS, we do want to focus on the health of our gut and that having probiotics and prebiotics in a healthy ratio is an essential part of a functioning gut. What is more confusing is if we truly do need probiotics, what kind and from what source. Should we be supplementing with probiotics or try to get them from what we eat? In today’s episode we will discuss this important topic and give you essential information about how to get more probiotics into your food every day.

Today I want to speak about participating in celebrations or holidays when you have IBS and asking for what you really need from others. I’ve wanted to cover this topic that is really impactful for women who suffer from IBS and are just sick of being so sick. I know it’s difficult to know how to deal with your IBS during these events and how too it can bring up the opportunity to ask for what you need directly. It can be really hard to ask for the things that we want in life, and it can sometimes being even harder to ask for the things that we really need. In today’s episode, we’ll discuss the topic of asking for gifts of what you need and getting outside the box of cultural expectations of gift giving around holidays and celebrations where gift giving is a tradition.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Healing Her IBS Podcast.  
Today, I'm taking a moment to address something important. I've been thinking a lot lately about the direction of this podcast and where I want to take it. To truly serve you, my listeners, I've decided to take a temporary break from creating new episodes. I know this might come as a surprise, but it's a decision I've made with careful consideration. Over the past six months, I've poured my heart and soul into this podcast, sharing my knowledge, experiences, and my personal stories around healing IBS.

In last week’s episode we spoke about the importance of discovering your true why for why you want to change or establish a habit before you go into a deep dive of the details of that habit change. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, I recommend you go back and listen to that one before continuing with today’s episode. Today we are going to talk about the importance of overcoming skepticism and truly believing in your goal for habit change before committing to it. This topic is one that is often overlooked and yet is so important for long lasting and meaningful life changes. If you have ever tried to change a habit and not been successful at it, today’s topic could very well be very meaningful and relevant to you.Find the full transcript for this episode and other resources at healingheribs.com/27.

On the Healing Her IBS podcast, we’ve already spoken a lot about different aspects of your life and how they could be contributing to your suffering, or to healing your IBS.

We’ve talked about the importance of quality sleep and fiber, getting enough protein and the importance of taking care of yourself to the best of your ability, managing stress and addressing the gut-brain axis connection through mindfulness and self-compassion. One of the missing pieces for so many of my clients and women with IBS is how to start doing something new, how to change a habit, develop a new one or change an old one. Today we will discuss one important aspect of habit change which is identifying your true why.
