EP 12: How to Rewire Your Gut-Brain Connection | Dr. Ali Navidi

Disorders of the gut aren’t just digestive issues; they’re often signals from your nervous system.

If you’ve been struggling with gut issues, anxiety, or chronic discomfort that doctors can’t explain, this episode is for you.

Dr. Ali Navidi, licensed clinical psychologist and co-founder of GI Psychology, breaks down the science and psychology of the gut-brain connection. He explains how trauma, stress, and emotional survival patterns can disrupt digestion and how nervous system regulation and therapy can help restore balance.

We also explore the deep connection between gut health and mental health, and why treating one without addressing the other often leaves people stuck. Whether you're living with IBS or another GI disorder and carrying the emotional toll of feeling unheard, this conversation offers insights and hope.
