A lot of people consider the body and mind as separate areas when we talk about health. However, there is ample scientific research that shows it makes no sense to separate these areas. You are a whole person and your brain and body are not separate entities.

When considering the management of functional disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome and other functional gut disorders, it is essential that a mind-body approach is used to ensure long-term management. This is not standard practice at this point in time, but through this episode, Nickie hopes you will begin to see how this approach can help you with long-term management of your health, so you can thrive.

In this episode Nickie covers:
