IBS is not a disease in and of itself. It is a collection of symptoms that are caused by other health factors. Other factors that are often overlooked, or not looked into at all. Often leaving you with symptom relief, but without any solutions to address the cause of the digestive distress!

Fast lives don't work well with our human digestive system: it needs things to be done slooooowly. Our digestive system works on the 'rest and digest' mode of the nervous system, whilst many of us are spending way too long in the 'fight and flight' mode during pretty much the entire day. What's wrong with rushed eating? Not enough time for the brain to start thinking about food. Our digestion starts in the brain: thinking about food, smelling food, salivating about food. This is actually how it's supposed to work! Cooking your own meal helps enormously
