Welcome to our first listener Q&A Episode! This question comes from Bianca from Canada: Why does stress make my IBS and digestive symptoms worse?

This topic is super important, and fairly complex. I see the connection play out very often in my clients with digestive issues like IBS, SIBO and IBD. More often than not, they know that stress is a huge trigger for flare-ups. And when they come to me, many are often in a high-stress state due to their life commitments, work, family, etc.But also more often than not, they don’t realize how much stress is actually affecting their digestion and ability to heal from IBS.
