Finding Calm: Stress Management for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Are you tired of being controlled by your gut symptoms?
Take control back with the information and tools in this resource – without avoiding your favorite foods!

Do you ever feel like stress throws your IBS into overdrive? You’re not alone. Many people with IBS find that stress can worsen their symptoms and in fact, stress is now shown to be the most important trigger of IBS and IBS symptoms.
This is why IBS is now classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction! Something has severely disrupted the communication pathway between your gut and brain, which has scientifically been shown to cause changes in how fast your intestines move poop through (causes both constipation and diarrhea), low-grade inflammation, hypersensitivity (you feel pain when nothing is truly wrong) and changes in your gut microbiota. It’s a physiological problem and not all in your head!
Finding Calm is designed to help you take back control of your gut function by digging out the roots of IBS. While the first thing you often think about when experiencing digestive problems is the food you eat, food is not the biggest culprit in IBS and it doesn’t cause IBS.
Finding calm explores the true root cause of IBS (the disrupted gut-brain connection) and equips you with practical tools and techniques to calm this disturbed gut-brain interaction. Of course, food still plays a role in IBS, and if you’d like to get more advice on that, then the IBSwise program would be the better fit for you (everything in Finding Calm is also included in IBSwise).
What to expect from this program:
- Learn about the root cause of IBS, the gut-brain axis, the stress-gut connection and how stress can impact your IBS.
- Discover a variety of techniques to calm the disrupted gut-brain interaction and tone the vagus nerve.
- Develop coping mechanisms for dealing with everyday stressors.
- Tame the cause of IBS at its root.
Even if you don’t feel like you are stressed out, it is worthwhile to explore how these techniques might positively impact your gut and brain. There are many instances in which stress is not felt on a mental level, and physical symptoms, like gut problems are the only signs of stress. Since IBS is a disorder of gut-brain interaction, practices that are designed to correct this interaction and the way in which your gut and your brain are talking to each other are important even if you don’t feel that stressed out.
This program is for anyone who has had enough of debilitating gut symptoms and is ready to calm the gut-brain connection and find IBS freedom.

This course had a good mix of theoretical and practical information. It contained a lot of information, but it was still interesting and easy to understand.
I got inspired to mindfully take care of my stress relief, now that I have learned the theory behind the symptoms. I will start using methods that are taught in the course. I loved the videos with guidance and I will continue to use them in my everyday life.
