In this episode of the Radical Health Rebel Podcast, I sit down with Functional Medicine Dietitian Miriam Jacobson to dive deep into one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic digestive issues: stress.
Miriam unpacks how chronic stress disrupts the gut-brain axis and how it can trigger or worsen conditions like IBS, SIBO, and other digestive dysfunctions. We explore the vital role of the vagus nerve, the impact of nervous system dysregulation on gut health, and practical steps you can take to calm your system, restore digestive balance, and finally experience relief.
Whether you’re struggling with bloating, abdominal pain, unpredictable bowel habits, or simply want to better understand how your emotions affect your digestion, this episode is packed with insight, science, and strategies you won’t want to miss.
We discussed:
- Stress and Gut Health Connection
- Miriam’s 9/11 Trauma and Healing Journey
- Perfectionism and Its Health Consequences
- Stress Impact on IBS and SIBO
- Conscious Eating and Nervous System Regulation
- Distinguishing Trauma from Everyday Stress
- Closing Thoughts and Miriam’s Future Projects
