S3E5: The Gut–Brain Connection : Stress, Therapy, and Living with IBD

We’re back with Dr. Wren, a Stanford pediatric psychologist who works closely with gastroenterology patients, to continue our conversation about the powerful connection between the gut and the brain. In Part 2, we dive deeper into how stress, anxiety, and emotions can influence IBD symptoms,— and what to do about it! Dr. Wren shares practical strategies for managing flare-related stress, explains why therapy is increasingly part of GI care, and talks about how young people with IBD can build resilience while navigating a chronic illness.Follow our instagram @IBDiditpodcast and email us at [email protected] about your stories or anything else!
