Hypnotherapy for IBS: Unraveling the Gut-Brain Connection

The success of hypnotherapy could be that it targets the brain's subconscious, and these systems which control our digestion also function at a subconscious level.
Ever felt butterflies in your stomach when you're nervous? You're not alone. The gut-brain connection is a fascinating area of research that's revealing some unexpected treatments for conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). In this episode of 'All In The Mind', producer Danni Stewart dives into how hypnotherapy is being used to treat IBS. Dr. Simone Peters, a leading researcher in this field, sheds light on how hypnotherapy targets the brain's subconscious to ease IBS symptoms.
It's not just about hypnosis; Dr. Peters talks about a holistic approach involving doctors, hypnotherapists, psychologists, and dieticians working together. The episode also features personal stories, including comedian and drag performer Annie, who shares the struggles of managing IBS while performing. These real-life accounts make the science relatable and offer hope to those dealing with IBS. Tune in to learn about the latest clinical trials and why a patient-centered approach is making waves in IBS treatment.
