In this eye-opening episode we are talking about the gut issues nobody wants to talk about—IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For millions of women, chronic bloating, pain, and unpredictable digestion have become their “normal”—but it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’m joined by Dietitian Ashley Hurst, founder of Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians, a gut health expert who is on a mission to bring awareness to the root causes of chronic gut inflammation, including stress, food sensitivities, trauma, and even immune dysfunction. Together, we unpack why these conditions are often misunderstood or dismissed—and what real healing can look like. These issues are so commonly paired with a thyroid condition.

If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” but your body says otherwise, this episode is for you.

• The difference between IBS and IBD—and why both are often misdiagnosed or minimized

• Why gut issues in women are frequently dismissed or misunderstood

• How chronic inflammation fuels symptoms—and how to start calming it

• The connection between the nervous system, trauma, and the gut

• Functional approaches to healing from the inside out

• Why you're not crazy for demanding deeper answers

Ashley is a Registered Dietitian and the owner of The Crohns & Colitis Dietitians, a private practice supporting IBD patients in the US and Canada, reaching over 45,000 people through blogging, newsletter, Instagram, youtube and their Gut Feelings podcast. Her company, the Crohn's & Colitis Dietitians, have helped improve access to education in quality nutrition and evidence-based tools to help thousands of IBD patients like themselves. In addition, Ashley is the owner and formulator of Gut Love prebiotics which is centered around helping people have less bloating and have better and more consistent bowel movements. She just launched another product, Back to Balance Plus, which is a new product that combines two ingredients that have decades of research for helping reduce gut symptoms.
