In this episode of Expanded Mamas, I’m joined by Atavia Minoudis, an IBS recovery coach and nutritional therapist, to dive deep into the gut-brain connection. Whether you have digestive issues or just want better overall wellness, this conversation is packed with practical strategies to support your gut, calm your nervous system, and feel more in control in daily life.

• How your gut and brain communicate and why it matters for digestion and overall health
  

• The role of stress in gut health and simple ways to shift out of “fight or flight”
  

• Daily habits to strengthen your gut-brain connection—no special diet required
  

• How IBS flare-ups can be reduced by retraining the nervous system
  

• Tools for nervous system regulation that help moms feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded
  If you want to feel more balanced, energized, and supported in motherhood, this episode is for you.
