Today’s episode is a recording from Episode 62 of the Joyful Eating For PCOS and Gut Health podcast.

We explore how your body responds to different types of exercise intensities. We break down why gut symptoms can arise when you ramp up the intensity of your workouts, beneficial ways cortisol actually HELPS you exercise more efficiently, and how to enjoy high intensity training without the digestive upset.

Do you really know what’s driving the IBS symptoms you experience?

Instead of just taking more meds or cutting out more foods, addressing the underlying drives of IBS is the key to long-term IBS relief.

In this episode, I’m recapping highlights from my live masterclass, Break Free From IBS: Your 6-Step Roadmap to Lasting Relief.

If you missed it, don’t worry! I’ve pulled together the most important takeaways and I’ll be answering some of your top Q&A questions from the session.

I cover some pressing questions like:

• Is intermittent fasting for IBS?

• What is the best way to determine a food intolerance?

• What is the vagus nerve?

• Can leaky gut be seen on a colonoscopy?

• & more!
