You probably know about the gut-brain axis already, but this episode brings an expert to share the next layer of knowledge on how your mind controls your digestion. This week I'm speaking to Helen Brooks, clinical hypnotherapist about gut directed hypnotherapy. We cover:

• What is gut directed hypnotherapy and what is it not
• How does it help in IBS?
• What you can do at home to calm the gut-brain connection

About Helen

Helen Brooks is a clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of The Tummy Whisperer, specialising in an evidence-based mind-body approach for IBS and disorders of gut-brain interaction.

Using a unique framework that combines gut-directed hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation and mind-body work, Helen helps people reduce symptoms, rebuild trust in their body, and stop organising life around their gut.

Her work focuses on supporting the systems that drive, amplify and maintain IBS symptoms, helping clients live better even when they've "tried everything."

Helen works with clients internationally through her online programmes and virtual clinic.

Did you know one third of IBS-D cases could be triggered by bile acids in the large intestine? This week's interview is with Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Bu'Hussain Hayee who helps explain all you need to know:

• What is bile acid diarrhoea?
• The effect of diets on bile acids
• Asking your GP about whether this could be causing your IBS-D

He's so clear and helpful, this is something everyone with IBS-D should be aware of.
