About this listen

Beyond Bathroom Blues


Welcome to Beyond Bathroom Blues, a podcast for men living with IBS.


Hosted by CharlieJeane, a Registered Dietitian (RD), Sports Nutritionist (MSc), and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist — alongside Glenn, an Army veteran who has lived with IBS since 2003, the show brings together professional expertise and real-life experience.


Our aim is to meet men where they are on their IBS journey and provide calm, practical insight to help them better understand their symptoms, reduce overwhelm, and regain a sense of control.


Inside each episode, CharlieJeane shares over 12 years of experience supporting men with IBS, while Glenn offers perspective from managing symptoms day-to-day in real life, alongside the mindset shifts that support long-term IBS management.


Together, we focus on clarity over confusion, understanding over guesswork, and sustainable strategies — rather than quick fixes.

  • S3E101. Why Most Men With IBS Feel Older Than They Should (And How to Reverse It)
    Feb 18 2026

    Many men with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) quietly notice something beyond gut symptoms…

    They feel older.

    Lower energy. Less resilience. Less confidence. Less edge.

    Not because of age, but because IBS slowly drains physical and mental capacity over time.

    In this episode, Glenn breaks down the deeper blueprint behind regaining control — not just of IBS symptoms, but of your energy, clarity, and identity.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why IBS affects far more than digestion
    • The hidden habits that quietly accelerate fatigue and decline
    • How small daily shifts compound into powerful long-term change
    • Why consistency matters more than intensity when rebuilding gut health
    • How men can regain control, confidence, and physical resilience

    This isn’t about quick fixes or generic gut advice.

    It’s about understanding the bigger picture and taking practical steps to move forward with clarity and control.

    If you’re tired of feeling run down and want to take your edge back, this episode will change how you see IBS and what’s possible beyond it.

    Follow the podcast for weekly episodes helping men understand IBS, reduce symptoms, and take back control of their health.

  • S3E100.Winners Always Quit (Quitters Never Win): The IBS Trap Keeping Men Stuck
    Feb 11 2026

    If you’ve been stuck in the IBS cycle of, flare-ups, food fear, random supplements, and constant guessing; this episode will hit home.

    Glenn shares a powerful idea he heard from Myron Golden:

    “Winners always quit… and quitters never win.”

    And when you apply that to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), it explains exactly why so many men stay stuck for years.

    In this short episode, you’ll learn:

    • What “winners always quit” really means for men with IBS

    • The habits and behaviours that keep IBS symptoms loud (even when you’re trying hard)

    • Why chasing quick fixes, cutting foods blindly, and relying on online “IBS hacks” backfires

    • What men quit too early — tracking, consistency, and proven frameworks — and why that delays real progress

    • A simple next step to break the IBS hamster wheel and move forward with clarity

    This isn’t about motivation.

    It’s about making smarter decisions so you can understand your IBS, reduce symptoms, and take back control of your health and your life.

    If you’re tired of reacting and ready to lead your IBS recovery properly, this episode is for you.

    Follow the podcast so you don’t miss future episodes helping men understand IBS, reduce symptoms, and stop guessing.

    • How to describe symptoms clearly
    • Questions most men forget to ask
    • And how to avoid delays or misdiagnosis

    This isn’t about self-diagnosing.
    It’s about preparing properly — so you get answers faster and waste less time guessing.
