66. Think Stress Caused Your IBS? Here's Why There's More to the Story

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the roots of IBS and chronic symptoms. While it’s common to associate the onset of symptoms with a particularly stressful time—like university or a major life event—there’s often more beneath the surface.

I’ll explore how acute stress can act as a trigger, but how deeper patterns, often developed earlier in life, set the stage for these symptoms to emerge. 

We’ll cover: 

• The difference between acute and chronic stress and their impacts on the body. 
• How early-life experiences shape key systems like the gut-brain connection, vagal tone, and the stress response. 
• Why intergenerational influences and unresolved patterns can make us more susceptible to chronic symptoms. 
• Practical steps to start exploring and addressing these deeper patterns to support your healing journey. 

If you’ve ever wondered why symptoms seem to "come out of nowhere" or felt stuck despite trying all the right things, this episode will help you better understand your body and the deeper layers of healing.
