Hypnotherapy and irritable bowel syndrome. Those are two things you probably didn't expect to hear in the same sentence.
Ever felt butterflies in your stomach before a big presentation? Turns out, there's more to that feeling than you might think. This episode of 'All In The Mind' tackles the fascinating gut-brain connection and introduces hypnotherapy as a treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Producer Danni Stewart leads the charge, exploring how the mind's power can influence gut health. Dr Simone Peters, a pioneering researcher in gut-directed hypnotherapy, shares her insights and experiences from clinical trials that demonstrate its effectiveness.
Initially sceptical, Dr Peters now sees hypnotherapy as a viable alternative to restrictive diets. The episode also features Annie, a performer from Sydney, who juggles IBS with their hectic stage life, revealing the strategic eating habits and the challenges of living with IBS. Dr Alana Gorey explains the gut-brain axis and how stress impacts digestion, shedding light on why hypnotherapy can be beneficial.
While it might sound like something from a sci-fi movie, gut-directed hypnotherapy has shown impressive results in clinical trials. But it's not all smooth sailing; availability of trained professionals is limited, leading to the development of app-based solutions like Nerva. Whether you're sceptical or intrigued, this episode offers a fresh perspective on managing IBS through the mind's potential. Could this be the treatment you've been waiting for? Dive in and find out!
