014 - Gut Hypnotherapy & The Mind-Gut Connection - Lorraine Cooney

Gut symptoms are never “just in your head” but your brain is absolutely involved.In this episode of The Survival Project, I’m joined by Lorraine Cooney, dietetics, gut-brain axis, the microbiome, and why stress, food fear, and nervous system dysregulation can intensify IBS and ongoing gut symptoms in IBD.Lorraine breaks down gut-directed hypnotherapy (what it is, what it targets, and why it’s evidence-based), plus practical strategies for day-to-day gut health: regular meals, soluble fibre, slowing down while eating, navigating restaurants and travel, and supplements that actually have research behind them. We also talk about the nocebo effect and why connection and relaxation are often missing pieces in recovery.A sincere thank you to Salts Healthcare for supporting today’s episode and helping important conversations like this reach those who need them most.If you would like to check out Ostique Connect you can download at the links belowhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ostiqueltd.ostiqueconnect&hl=en_IEhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/ostique-connect/id6463715231To check out more of Lorraine's work and her books: Instagram @gut_health_mattershttps://guthealthmatters.ie/
