In this special episode, I sit down with my client, Taylor Stead, to dive into her transformative journey in healing her lifelong IBS and gut issues. Taylor shares her story of navigating gut health struggles that had been plaguing her for years, from anxiety-induced digestive issues to feeling stuck in the cycle of dietary restrictions and discomfort.

Taylor opens up about the challenges of managing IBS while juggling a demanding lifestyle, and how it led her to explore various coaching and wellness options before finally finding a path that truly worked for her. We discuss the power of mindful eating and how it became the game-changer for her relationship with food, as well as the importance of stress management in the healing process. She also shares how hypnotherapy through the Nerva app played a pivotal role in managing stress and preventing flare-ups.

One of the most insightful parts of Taylor’s journey is her experience with the low FODMAP diet, which she had tried before but never with the structure and support that we created in our coaching. Taylor talks about what it was like to go through the elimination and reintroduction phases with full accountability, and how understanding the connection between stress and gut health has empowered her to make sustainable changes.

Not only has Taylor seen improvements in her gut health, but she’s also celebrated significant wins in her hormonal balance and overall wellbeing, including clearer skin and more stable energy levels. She reflects on how this process has shifted her mindset and empowered her to advocate for her health, making peace with imperfection and embracing the ongoing journey of self-care and healing.

This episode is full of practical tips, relatable struggles, and inspiring moments of progress.
