And now I can eat out without too much worry about how my gut is going to behave.

If you have IBS, you NEED to talk to Kirsten. It will change your life
It took me getting COVID for the second time in a year to actually slow down and write this review. It also shows how well Kirsten’s multi-factorial approach works. Let me tell you why.

I am a perennially stressed and anxious person working in high-tech. So I guess you can imagine how out of sync my routine and my body are. I got diagnosed with cancer about a couple of years ago and then had to go through radiation, which kick-started my IBS. It sort of resolved itself for a few months after the first flare and I refused to believe that it could in fact be IBS.

The second time round the flare was worse and brought me to my knees. I went to a gastroenterologist who tried different medication combinations to get it under control and suggested that I consult a dietitian. As one does, I conducted my research and came across Kirsten’s Instagram handle. What I liked about her was that whatever advice she gave out was grounded firmly in science. So I started working with her and during the course of my 1:1 consultation with her, Kirsten provided me with a lot of tools on how to manage my IBS and how to get back to my pre-cancer life (well-almost, because once IBS is there, it’s there). Glad to say that now I know what my triggers are exactly – stress and lactose. And now I can eat out without too much worry about how my gut is going to behave.

Kirsten showed how it’s not only food or stress that can impact your gut. But it’s a multitude of factors. So you need to look at each of them and find the right balance, along with finding synergies within your gut-brain axis. I am sorry Kirsten that it took me some time to get to writing this, but I am glad that got the time to jot this review down.
