Alignment: The Overlooked Link Between IBS, Digestion, and Nerve Compression
from Nicole Chenard Hosted by Nicole Chenard, MS, RD, LDN
In this episode, Nicole Chenard explores the often-overlooked connection between IBS, digestion, and nerve compression. She discusses how spinal nerve compression can drive digestive symptoms and emphasizes the importance of understanding the gut-spine connection. Nicole shares insights from her 15 years of clinical practice, highlighting the role of the nervous system in digestion and offering practical advice for addressing digestive issues beyond diet. Takeaways: Nourishment is how we lead, heal, and rise. IBS is not just stress or in your head. Spinal nerve compression can drive digestive symptoms. The gut is wired with nerves that communicate. Digestive organs rely on clear nerve signaling. Spine-gut map shows spinal communication with digestion. Nerve compression can alter gut motility and sensitivity. Stress affects IBS through neuromuscular changes. Traditional GI care often misses spinal factors. Addressing spinal mobility can improve digestion.
