IBS Diet Counseling
in Colwood
Digestive discomfort shouldn't dictate your life. We support your gut health through empathetic, investigative dietary analysis to identify root causes and optimize your daily nutrition.
Is This You?
The "After-Meal Bloat"
You feel uncomfortably full or distended shortly after eating, making it difficult to focus or relax.
The "Restroom Anxiety"
You find yourself constantly planning your day around where the nearest washroom is located.
The "Mystery Trigger"
Foods that seemed fine yesterday suddenly cause intense digestive upset today, leaving you guessing.
The "Energy Crash"
Digestion takes a massive toll on your system, leaving you fatigued and mentally foggy by mid-afternoon.
The Gut-Brain Connection
IBS isn't just a digestive issue; it's heavily influenced by the gut-brain axis. Psychological stress, physical tension, and specific food compounds can trigger an inflammatory response in your digestive tract. By understanding these mechanisms, we can identify nutritional triggers and support the gut lining's natural function without heavy jargon.
Our Assessment Approach
We don't rely on guesswork. Our approach uses clinical nutritional screening methods.

The Sync Difference
Why do we combine Holistic Nutrition with manual therapy? Because your gut is physical tissue. By integrating dietary counseling to manage chemical triggers with hands-on modalities like visceral manipulation to address tissue tension, we create an environment that supports better systemic balance and overall comfort.
