    Gut-directed hypnotherapy after 65: what the evidence really says | Dr. Stephanie Moleski

    In this episode of Gut-Brain Therapy, the Nerva podcast, gastroenterologist Dr. Stephanie Moleski, MD, sits down with Nerva's Chloe Millar to answer a question clinicians face constantly: when a 70-year-old asks whether gut-directed hypnotherapy will help, what does the evidence actually let us say? Gut-brain disorders like constipation, reflux-type symptoms, and functional IBD symptoms all climb with age, yet almost every trial of gut-directed hypnotherapy has been run in younger adults. Dr. Moleski, Associate Professor of Medicine at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University and Medical Director of the Jefferson Celiac Center, walks through the evidence across the full range of gut-brain disorders. She is candid about where it is strong (IBS), where it is only extrapolated (functional dyspepsia, heartburn, constipation, and IBD overlap), and where the proof runs out for US Medicare-age patients. Drawing on the 2025 Anderson randomized controlled trial of Nerva in IBS and a 1,000-patient audit of gut-directed hypnotherapy spanning ages 17 to 91, she covers how to counsel patients over 65, the practical barriers for older adults (device access, hearing, digital literacy, cost, and coverage), where gut-brain programs like Nerva fit as an adjunct rather than a replacement for diet, medication, or workup, and how to set condition-specific expectations while ruling out organic disease first, especially with new symptoms after 50.

    The Eating Disorder-GI Connection | GI Dr. Jordan Shapiro, RD Brittany Rogers & psychologist Dr. Kelli Rugless

    In this episode of Gut-Brain Therapy, the Nerva podcast, three GI experts tackle one of the most challenging presentations in clinic: the patient who arrives with both GI symptoms and disordered eating patterns, where it's rarely clear which discipline should lead or where to begin. Gastroenterologists and APPs may reach for medication first and refer dietary care on. Dietitians and nutritionists may question whether behavioural strategies fall within their scope. And psychologists or physiotherapists may struggle to treat symptoms rooted in the gut. The result is a patient who can fall through the gaps between specialties. Together, the panel walks through how each discipline assesses and treats the ED–GI patient, why coordinated cross-disciplinary care improves outcomes, and the actionable takeaways you can bring into your own practice right away. Expert panel: Jordan Shapiro, MD, MS – Gastroenterologist Brittany Rogers, MS, RD/LDN, CPT – Registered Dietitian Kelli Rugless, PsyD, CEDS – Psychologist / Eating Disorder Specialist Disclaimer: Nerva is a self-guided program that may help people self-manage and live well with their diagnosed disorder of the gut-brain interaction.

    SIBO in practice: Navigating diagnostic uncertainty and long-term management | Rebecca Coomes from The Healthy Gut podcast

    In this episode of Gut-Brain Therapy, the Nerva podcast, nutritionist, author and host of The Healthy Gut podcast Rebecca Coomes tackles one of the most confusing presentations in clinic: small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), where symptoms overlap with IBS and a dozen other conditions, patients arrive having self-restricted their diet for months or years, and relapse is common, leaving clinicians and patients asking the same thing: where to start? Drawing on her own decade-long journey with SIBO and the latest science (including the Cedars-Sinai REIMAGINE study), Rebecca walks through the three types of SIBO and how to test for them, where diet fits (and why it calms symptoms but doesn't resolve SIBO), how to screen for disordered eating before any restriction, and the three-step framework she returns to again and again: reduce the overgrowth, address the underlying cause, and support the gut-brain axis.

    Managing IBS & gut-brain disorders in practice: A GI’s perspective | Dr. Omar Khokhar

    In this episode of Gut-Brain Therapy, the Nerva podcast, gastroenterologist Dr. Omar Khokhar (OSF HealthCare) tackles one of the hardest problems in clinic: gut-brain disorders like IBS, where symptoms are real and debilitating but rarely explained by a scope or scan, leaving clinicians and patients asking the same thing: where to next? With the gut-brain axis now well established as a two-way street, Dr. Khokhar walks through the science of visceral hypersensitivity, how the microbiome shapes appetite, sleep, mood and athletic performance, and the practical menu of options he reaches for when managing IBS and other disorders of gut-brain interaction.
