IBS isn’t just a gut problem, it’s a nervous system signal. If you’ve been diagnosed with IBS or told “everything looks fine” despite symptoms like bloating, constipation, and gut pain, this might be the missing link. Conventional medicine often zeroes in on the digestive tract, but in many cases, the real dysfunction starts somewhere else entirely. This video shows Dr. Maggie Yu breaking down what most doctors miss: IBS often starts with your nervous system. When the body is stuck in “fight or flight,” the parasympathetic system (our natural “rest and digest” mode), shuts down. And without that balance, digestion suffers. This is why so many people with IBS feel frustrated, unheard, and stuck in a cycle of guesswork. Until your nervous system is addressed, neither will your IBS.
Watch to learn:
- Why IBS is actually a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system
- How nervous system imbalance shuts down digestion, and what triggers it
- Why gut-focused treatments often fail, even with the “best” specialists
- The surprising link between IBS, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune issues
- What data Dr. Maggie uses to uncover the root cause in every patient
