Just a label that essentially says your gut is unhappy and we're not entirely sure why.In this episode Paul breaks down what IBS actually is, why the term is so frustratingly broad, why it genuinely seems like everyone has it these days, and what the research actually says about managing it properly.He covers the gut-brain connection and why stress and anxiety aren't just things that happen alongside IBS but are often part of what's driving it. He gets into the low FODMAP diet, what the evidence says, and why it's a tool not a life sentence. And he explains why two people can have the same diagnosis and need completely different approaches.No waffle. No supplement plugs. Just a registered nutritionist telling you what's actually going on and what you can do about it.And at the end of the episode Paul has opened up a limited number of free 30 minute calls next week — something he doesn't normally do. If your gut has been a problem for years and you're not sure where to start, grab a slot before they go.👉 https://calendly.com/paulthenutritionist/new-meetingTopics covered: what IBS actually is, the Rome IV diagnostic criteria explained simply, why IBS is an umbrella term not a single condition, the gut-brain axis, low FODMAP evidence, fibre, probiotics, stress and sleep, and how to start identifying your personal triggers.
