What happens when you’ve eliminated every food, taken every supplement, and still feel worse?

In this episode, Jessie Wong chats with former client Lindsey, a mom of two who overcame severe IBS symptoms and food fear, not through a restrictive diet, but by addressing lifestyle triggers, gut-brain communication, and anxiety.

Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, it’s not about food but how you live.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔ How IBS and anxiety created a fear-based food cycle

✔ What actually helped reduce urgent diarrhea

✔ Why probiotics and elimination diets backfired

✔ The lifestyle changes that made the biggest difference

✔ What it’s like to eat freely again without fear

✔ Why healing takes time—and how to stay hopeful
