A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

Part 3 of the Women's Health SeriesBloating, gas, urgency, abdominal pain, and that relentless “what if something happens?” loop can turn sex from a close connection into stress fast. Digestive symptoms can quietly impact some of the most vulnerable parts of our lives...including intimacy, relationships, and self-esteem. And often, the shame surrounding those experiences feels heavier than the symptoms themselves. If you've ever pulled away from connection because your gut felt unpredictable, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we're opening up an honest and empowering discussion about gut health, confidence, and reclaiming intimacy without fear or embarrassment.We dive into this topic with our expert guest, Dr. Alyse Bedell, GI psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist, covering: • Why digestive functions feel taboo in sexual relationships • How IBS and IBD symptoms can impact desire, relaxation, and satisfaction • Myth-busting the idea that sex must be spontaneous to be pleasurable • Scripts and “reset” strategies for handling symptoms in the moment • Redefining intimacy so closeness does not always imply intercourse • Flexible planning around meals, energy, triggers, and symptom patterns • Partner support that reassures without becoming patronizing • The circular sexual response cycle and starting from sexual neutrality • Rebuilding sexual self-esteem with stigma work and acting with "as if” confidence This episode has been sponsored by Ardelyx. References: Ballou S, McMahon C, Lee HN, et al.

Most people think you need to poo every day to be healthy. You don't. In this episode, we explain how to tell if your poo is normal, the warning signs you shouldn't ignore, and the gut mistake you may be making on the toilet every day.  Dr Trisha Pasricha, a leading Harvard gastroenterologist, a columnist for the Washington Post and author of the book You've Been Pooping All Wrong, explains how your poo, gut health, and disease risk are linked, and when you should see a doctor. Dr Pasricha guides us through why frequency, colour, and consistency all matter, and why there is no single “normal.” You'll learn how to spot changes that could signal disease, including early warning signs linked to cancer and long-term brain health. You'll hear simple advice you can use straight away. This includes how to recognise your normal pattern, what changes to look out for, and how to avoid the common toilet habit that may affect your gut. Are you looking at your poo every day? And, if not, what might you notice if you did?

Dr. David Clarke, president of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association, details the link between stress and chronic pain and the scope of brain-generated symptoms. Clarke says many patients have symptoms not explained by disease or injury, estimating about 20% of U.S. adults (about 50 million) live with chronic pain, with costs estimated at $650 billion, and notes clinicians are often not trained to evaluate psychosocial stressors. He describes clues that pain is brain-generated (e.g., multiple long-lasting or shifting symptoms, lack of objective nerve damage) and a broad symptom spectrum from migraines and IBS to pelvic pain and rashes. Clarke discusses adverse childhood experiences, triggers, personality traits, and repressed emotions, cites randomized trials showing “pain relief psychology” can reduce pain and change MRI findings, and shares resources including a clinician directory, self-assessment quiz, and the Curable app. 

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Clarke, president of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association.

In this episode, Dr. Eric Osansky talks with returning guest Dr. Izabella Wentz about her new book, IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Drawing from both personal experience and clinical insight, Dr. Wentz explains why IBS is often more than just a stress-related diagnosis and how it can serve as an early warning sign of deeper imbalances, including thyroid autoimmunity.The conversation explores the difference between IBS and inflammatory bowel disease, why some people diagnosed with IBS may actually have celiac disease or IBD, and the many possible root causes behind chronic digestive symptoms. Dr. Wentz discusses food reactions, SIBO, parasites, H. pylori, medications, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid hormone imbalances, stress, and lifestyle factors that can all play a role in gut dysfunction. She also shares why testing matters, why symptom relief is not the same as true resolution, and why approaches like the low FODMAP diet may only be a short-term tool.This episode gives listeners a broader, more practical understanding of how gut issues connect with immune dysregulation and thyroid health. If you want a clearer, more balanced understanding of IBS, IBD, and what these digestive symptoms may really be telling you, you'll get a lot out of this episode.Episode Timeline00:00 – Introducing the episode and why IBS matters 01:26 – Post-episode topics: IBS vs. IBD, celiac, H. pylori, and more 02:22 – Meet Dr. Izabella Wentz 03:58 – Why Dr. Wentz wrote a book on IBS 06:15 – How IBS can precede autoimmune disease 08:13 – How common IBS is and how it's typically diagnosed 09:25 – When IBS may actually be celiac disease or IBD 11:25 – Dr. Wentz's husband's ulcerative colitis story 14:18 – Is IBD autoimmune? 14:54 – The IBS and autoimmunity connection 18:09 – IBS-D vs. IBS-C and why treatment differs 19:59 – Root causes of IBS beyond stress and food sensitivities 24:37 – Medications that can disrupt gut health 26:12 – How to start identifying your IBS triggers 28:28 – Why testing matters for parasites and SIBO 32:24 – SIBO as a root cause or secondary issue 33:03 – Conventional care vs. a functional medicine approach 36:36 – What to do if you think you have IBS or IBD 40:52 – Surprising foods that can trigger IBS symptoms 42:14 – Concerns with the low FODMAP diet 45:20 – Where to learn more about Dr. Wentz and her new book 47:30 – Dr. Eric's post-episode takeaways on IBS, IBD, celiac, H. pylori, and low FODMAPAbout Dr. Izabella WentzDr. Izabella Wentz is an integrative pharmacist, educator, and New York Times bestselling author known Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

Did you know that IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is not just about gut discomfort? It could be a root cause of osteoporosis.  In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Izabella Wentz, an integrative pharmacist and author of IBS: Finding and Treating the Root Cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. We explore how IBS can have a direct impact on your bone health, raising the risk of osteoporosis. Izabella shares how IBS prevents proper nutrient absorption, which plays a significant role in weakening bones. We discuss the root causes of IBS and how these issues can trigger a cascade of health problems, including autoimmune diseases and weakened bones. The great news? The steps you take to heal your gut can directly benefit your bones. Izabella walks us through practical ways to address IBS, improve gut health, and ultimately protect your bones.    "Diet is definitely the first intervention that I recommend.

In this episode of The Talking Gut Podcast, Dr Jim Kantidakis sits down with Professor Ted J. Kaptchuk, Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Program in Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Encounter at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Professor Kaptchuk is one of the world's leading researchers in placebo science. His groundbreaking 2010 study, Placebos Without Deception: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, demonstrated that patients with IBS improved even when they knowingly took a placebo — challenging long-held assumptions about mind–body interactions and symptom perception. In this conversation, we explore: What the placebo effect really is — and what it isn't Why IBS and other gut–brain disorders show high placebo response rates How open-label placebo works without deception The neurobiology of expectation, ritual, and healing What the "therapeutic encounter" means for modern clinical practice This episode invites clinicians and patients alike to rethink symptoms, perception, and the powerful role of context in healing.

Dr. Gilligan explains the motivation behind the company's rebrand and its decision to prioritize three core therapeutic targets: Binge Eating Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome/abdominal pain. Although Entropy has reported positive Phase 2a results using oral psilocybin across these indications, Dr. Gilligan outlines why the company is shifting its strategy toward developing proprietary IV‑delivered psilocin formulations combined with psychotherapy, beginning with binge eating disorder. The discussion also covers Entropy's work on real‑time EEG and brain entropy as a potential biomarker, the company's financing,  regulatory roadmap, and longer‑term expansion opportunities in areas such as PTSD.

In this episode of The Scope Forward Show, Praveen Suthrum speaks with Alex Noumidis, Co-founder and CEO of Nerva, a digital therapeutic platform for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and other disorders of gut-brain interaction. They discuss the origins of Nerva, the science of psychophysiology, digital health adoption in GI, and the challenges of bringing behavioral therapies into mainstream gastroenterology. The conversation dives deep into the power of gut-directed hypnotherapy, its clinical validation, the bottlenecks in scaling access to GI psychology, and what it takes to build a product that patients actually use. They've seen 300,000 patients and plan to expand to all GI conditions. Recorded between Australia and Mumbai, this global conversation also reflects on the evolving landscape of GI care.*

Many people who swear they’re “gluten sensitive” — avoiding bread, pasta, and wheat products — may be misplacing the blame. A recent comprehensive review suggests that what most call gluten sensitivity isn’t actually triggered by gluten. Contrary to popular belief, people in carefully controlled studies reacted the same way to gluten, wheat or placebo — meaning their symptoms often had nothing to do with gluten itself. Instead, experts believe that issues stem from other wheat components or fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs), or even the power of expectation — the infamous “gut-brain connection.” In short: for many people, “going gluten-free” may be a needless dietary crusade. What feels like sensitivity could be a byproduct of gut-brain interactions — more akin to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) than a gluten-triggered disorder. If you’ve cut gluten from your diet and still struggle — or feel fine but restrict wheat anyway — this episode might make you rethink the gluten-free hype. It's Cyber Monday!
