In this episode of the Radical Health Rebel Podcast, I sit down with Functional Medicine Dietitian Miriam Jacobson to dive deep into one of the most overlooked root causes of chronic digestive issues: stress.

Miriam unpacks how chronic stress disrupts the gut-brain axis and how it can trigger or worsen conditions like IBS, SIBO, and other digestive dysfunctions. We explore the vital role of the vagus nerve, the impact of nervous system dysregulation on gut health, and practical steps you can take to calm your system, restore digestive balance, and finally experience relief.

Whether you're struggling with bloating, abdominal pain, unpredictable bowel habits, or simply want to better understand how your emotions affect your digestion, this episode is packed with insight, science, and strategies you won’t want to miss.

In this enlightening episode of the Radical Health Rebel Podcast, I sit down with fellow CHEK Faculty member Matt Sorensen to explore the often-overlooked connection between internal organ health and chronic pain.

We dive deep into how dysfunction within the body's organs can trigger chronic pain through mechanisms such as viscerosomatic and psychosomatic reflexes — pathways where organ stress and emotional health manifest as physical pain. Matt shares his expert insights into how recognizing and addressing organ-related dysfunctions can be a game-changer in resolving stubborn pain issues that don't respond to conventional approaches.

Whether you're a health practitioner, someone living with chronic pain, or simply curious about the deeper connections within the body, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new dimension of healing.

Tune in to discover how true holistic health must consider the vital role of the internal organs — and how real transformation happens from the inside out.
