#66 - IBS Explained: What Actually Helps Your Gut | Kirsten Jackson

I’m joined by Kirsten Jackson, an IBS dietitian who helps people make sense of their gut symptoms and build an approach that works. We cut through the noise around IBS and get clear on what it is, why it is often misunderstood, and what actually moves the needle. Kirsten shares her own IBS story, plus the practical foundations she focuses on with clients, including sleep, stress, exercise, caffeine, and bowel health basics. She also breaks down the Bristol stool chart in a way that makes sense, and talk about the rising conversation around bowel cancer and why awareness matters. If you have ever been told “it’s all in your head”, feel confused about trigger foods, or want a calmer gut without living on an overly restrictive diet, this episode will help.
