IBS is one of the most challenging disorders to manage – multifactorial, unpredictable, and resistant to one-size-fits-all solutions.
In this episode of the Little By podcast with Dr. Kristin Oja, Nerva's Claire Hall explores the gut-brain connection through the lens of clinical hypnotherapy, examining how digital delivery makes this evidence-based approach more accessible.
She discusses how it compares with dietary strategies like low FODMAP, the growing medical acceptance of hypnotherapy, and new research into the complexity of gut health – reminding us that sometimes the most effective treatment isn’t found in food or drugs, but in the mind.
