What happens when you’ve eliminated every food, taken every supplement, and still feel worse?
In this episode, Jessie Wong chats with former client Lindsey, a mom of two who overcame severe IBS symptoms and food fear, not through a restrictive diet, but by addressing lifestyle triggers, gut-brain communication, and anxiety.
Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, it’s not about food but how you live.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔ How IBS and anxiety created a fear-based food cycle
✔ What actually helped reduce urgent diarrhea
✔ Why probiotics and elimination diets backfired
✔ The lifestyle changes that made the biggest difference
✔ What it’s like to eat freely again without fear
✔ Why healing takes time—and how to stay hopeful
