In this episode of Gut-Brain Therapy, the Nerva podcast, gastroenterologist Dr. Omar Khokhar (OSF HealthCare) tackles one of the hardest problems in clinic: gut-brain disorders like IBS, where symptoms are real and debilitating but rarely explained by a scope or scan, leaving clinicians and patients asking the same thing: where to next?
With the gut-brain axis now well established as a two-way street, Dr. Khokhar walks through the science of visceral hypersensitivity, how the microbiome shapes appetite, sleep, mood and athletic performance, and the practical menu of options he reaches for when treating IBS and other disorders of gut-brain interaction.
