You probably know about the gut-brain axis already, but this episode brings an expert to share the next layer of knowledge on how your mind controls your digestion. This week I'm speaking to Helen Brooks, clinical hypnotherapist about gut directed hypnotherapy. We cover:

• How does it help in IBS?
• What you can do at home to calm the gut-brain connection
