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.

    Navigating your health as a high-performing man dealing with chronic gut issues is a total minefield.

  • S3E116. The Creatine Protocol: 6 Clinical Rules for Gut-Safe Gains
    May 18 2026

    Look, the "Creatine Dash" is a total mood killer. 🏃‍♂️💨

    I (Glenn CW) have been there—spending more time scanning for the exits at the gym than actually hitting the weights.

    Most guys just quit, and they leave the most effective muscle-builder and brain on the planet, on the shelf. But you don’t have to.

    CharlieJeane finally sat down to audit the actual science. Turns out, it’s rarely the creatine itself—it’s usually just a few simple, tactical mistakes in how we’re taking it. 🧪

    In this clinical briefing, we’re sharing the 6-point audit we use for our high-performance clients. We move past the generic "fitness influencer" advice to look at the biological reality of dose volume, formulation triggers, and why "tanning" 20g at once is a tactical disaster for your gut.

    You aren't broken—your protocol is.
