In the world of IBS, people’s relationship to food is not really something many think about until they get more educated on IBS and the topic of eating disorders. The more I have looked into this connection, the more I realize just how common it is. In fact about 15 to 25 percent of people that are diagnosed with IBS also have some sort of disordered eating, so what does this all mean?   During this episode of Luxury IBS, I share my thoughts on the connection between IBS and eating disorders which is a pretty tricky topic to cover. I talk about what an eating disorder is, why eating habits can impact your gut microflora, and why it’s important to understand what nutrition actually means and how it affects you.

During this episode of Luxury IBS, I share how shedding the old version of me, and achieving new life goals doesn’t mean I have cured myself of all my anxieties and comparisons. It’s easy to start this new year with a mindset comparison but it’s okay so step back and realize that massive life events won’t bring you happiness - your mind and soul needs mire. So, how exactly does this relate to IBS? Well in this episode I am talking about my favorite subject ever, the gut mind connection. You’ll hear all about mental illness and the gut, functional medicine resources that helped me and why my fertility impacted the way I started to reconnect with food from an unstable and emotional place.
