One of the most common complaints I hear in my office — second only to fatigue — is gut issues. Constipation. Chronic abdominal pain. Bloating.
And especially… SIBO that just keeps coming back. These conditions are frustrating, and for many of my clients, they feel unsolvable. Here’s the truth:
Your gut doesn’t just need another protocol. It needs emotional attention too. SIBO and chronic gut pain are deeply connected to the nervous system.
So in my latest episode of The Health Fix Podcast, I’m flipping the script. Instead of working gut up like I usually do — this week we’re going brain down.
And joining me is Dr. Ali Navidi, one of the nation’s leading experts in gut-brain therapy.🎧 Episode: Gut Issues or Brain Signals? with Dr. Ali NavidiDr. Navidi is a licensed clinical psychologist and the co-founder of GI Psychology, a nationwide telehealth clinic helping people heal their guts by addressing the brain-gut connection. He’s worked with organizations like Georgetown University, UNC School of Medicine, INOVA, and the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation — and his work’s been featured in The Washington Post and The Atlantic. Together, we unpack:
🧠 How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and hypnosis can rewire gut-brain communication
🍽️ Why conditioned food sensitivities may be keeping you stuck in unnecessary restriction
⚡ The power of anchors to manage pain and anxiety in the moment
💓 The role of the vagus nerve in regulating digestion and calming your entire system
📲 How telehealth therapy is making gut-brain solutions more accessible than ever
🧒 Why children often respond faster to these therapies than adults
🔮 And where the future of gut-brain therapy is headed — including tech and tools that are changing the game If you’ve tried everything for your gut — and nothing sticks — this episode is your invitation to look deeper.
Because healing your gut might have more to do with your nervous system than your food journal. 👉 Listen now to Episode 566 of The HealthFix Podcast
