    Send us Fan MailIf you've tried every diet, supplement, and elimination protocol for your IBS or IBD — and you're still not getting lasting relief — there's a piece of the puzzle most practitioners never address: your boundaries.In this episode, I sit down with Savannah Busnelli, professional life coach and wellness coach at Wellness by Savvy, to talk about the powerful and often overlooked connection between poor boundaries, chronic stress, and gut symptoms. If you live with IBS-D, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or any chronic digestive condition, this conversation will shine a light on why your nervous system — and therefore your gut — may be stuck in survival mode.Savannah shares her own journey with boundary struggles that led her to specialize in this work, and we explore the practical, compassionate tools she uses to help people start setting limits without guilt, fear, or losing the relationships they care about.If stress is one of your biggest gut triggers, this episode is essential listening.In this episode we cover:• How to recognize if poor boundaries are silently fueling your IBS or IBD flare-ups• Why resentment is your body's built-in signal that a boundary has been crossed• The real reason saying yes to please others is making your gut worse — not better• Why making health changes (like dietary shifts for IBS) can feel threatening to people around you — and how to handle it• The guilt and burden women with chronic illness feel when their health needs disrupt family routines• How emotional trauma and high-conflict relationships can directly trigger digestive symptoms• A step-by-step approach to setting boundaries starting with safe people first• How to use "I" statements to communicate limits calmly — especially with high-conflict individuals• The role of affirmations, journaling, and role-playing in building boundary confidence• Why consistency is the most important ingredient in boundary-setting — and how to build itThis episode is especially helpful if you're experiencing:– IBS or IBD flare-ups that seem tied to stress or difficult relationships– Feeling like a burden when your gut condition requires special food or rest– Chronic anxiety, mood swings, or emotional exhaustion alongside your gut symptoms– Resentment that builds up after agreeing to things that drain you– Difficulty asserting your health needs with family, friends, or coworkers– A pattern of putting others' comfort above your own healingKey takeaway: Your gut heals in a regulated nervous system. If your relationships and daily environment are keeping you in a constant state of stress, no supplement or diet plan will be enough. Setting boundaries is not selfish — it is part of your treatment plan.About Savannah Busnelli:Savannah Busnelli is a professional life coach and wellness coach at Wellness by Savvy.

  • Episode 77: Living With Crohn's Disease: What Doctors Don't Tell You About Managing IBD Long-Term, with Justin Brown

    Episode 77: Living With Crohn's Disease: What Doctors Don't Tell You About Managing IBD Long-Term, with Justin Brown

    If you've been living with Crohn's disease or IBD and feel like you've tried everything — only to still be struggling with unpredictable symptoms, fatigue, and a life that feels smaller than it should — this episode is for you.

    My guest today is Justin Brown, founder of Rhino Skin Solutions and a Crohn's disease warrior since the age of 12. Justin's story is raw, honest, and deeply relatable. We talk about what it's really like to grow up managing a chronic gut condition, how Crohn's disease reshaped his career and his identity, and — most surprisingly — how starting an antidepressant dramatically improved his GI symptoms.

    Whether you have Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS-D, or any form of inflammatory bowel disease, you'll walk away from this episode with a new lens on your symptoms — and real hope.

    In this episode we cover:

    • What it's like to be diagnosed with Crohn's disease as a child — and how symptoms are often missed

    • The social isolation and shame that comes with living with an invisible illness

    • How chronic gut conditions like IBD force unexpected career and life pivots

    • Why stress management isn't optional when you have a gut condition — it's medicine

    • The gut-serotonin connection: why 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut and what that means for your mental health

    • How sertraline (an SSRI antidepressant) unexpectedly improved Justin's Crohn's disease symptoms — and what this might mean for the gut-brain axis

    • Adapting your life, travel, and outdoor activities when you have IBD — without letting fear run the show

    • Finding small wins and non-linear progress when living with a chronic digestive condition


    This episode is especially helpful if you're experiencing:

    – Chronic diarrhea or loose stools from Crohn's disease or IBS-D

    – Anxiety and depression caused by gut symptoms

    – Fatigue and brain fog from IBD

    – Social anxiety around eating, leaving home, or traveling

    – Frustration that conventional medicine isn't giving you answers

    – The feeling that your gut condition is running your life


    Key takeaway: Living with IBD doesn't mean your quality of life has to suffer. Whether it's adapting your career, finding the right combination of medication and lifestyle support, or finally understanding the gut-brain connection — healing is non-linear, and progress is still progress.

    About Justin Brown:

    Justin Brown is the founder of Rhino Skin Solutions, a natural skincare line created for athletes dealing with conditions like psoriasis, joint pain, and skin inflammation. He has lived with Crohn's disease since age 12 and is passionate about the intersection of active living, chronic illness management, and community.

  • Episode 76: Why Wheat Triggers IBS & IBD Symptoms: GMO Wheat, Glyphosate, and Mold Explained

    Episode 76: Why Wheat Triggers IBS & IBD Symptoms: GMO Wheat, Glyphosate, and Mold Explained

    If you struggle with bloating, loose stools, acid reflux, or constant bathroom urgency, wheat may be playing a bigger role in your symptoms than you realize.

    In this final episode of my 4-part series on wheat and gut health, we go beyond gluten to uncover some of the hidden factors that make modern wheat particularly problematic for people with IBS, IBD, and chronic digestive issues.

    Many people believe that only those with celiac disease need to avoid wheat. But the truth is that modern wheat often carries additional gut stressors—including pesticide residues, mold toxins, and changes from industrial farming practices—that can disrupt the microbiome and trigger inflammation.

    If you’ve ever wondered why your gut symptoms persist even when tests come back “normal,” this episode will help you understand why wheat can still be a major driver of digestive dysfunction.


    In This Episode You’ll Learn

    ✔ Why modern wheat is different from the wheat our ancestors ate
    ✔ How GMO crops and hybridized grains may impact the gut microbiome
    ✔ The role of glyphosate (Roundup) in disrupting healthy gut bacteria
    ✔ How pesticide exposure may contribute to leaky gut and inflammation
    ✔ Why grain storage practices can promote mold and mycotoxin exposure
    ✔ The connection between wheat, microbiome disruption, and IBS or IBD symptoms
    ✔ Simple first steps you can take if you're considering reducing or eliminating wheat


    Free Mini Course: How to Go Wheat-Free Successfully

    One of the biggest challenges I see in my practice is people thinking they are wheat-free… only to discover hidden exposure.

    I created a step-by-step mini course to help you confidently eliminate wheat and avoid the common pitfalls that keep people reacting.
