Our host, Jacqueline Gaulin talks illness, healing, life, and disease with Dr. Tara Cousineau, the author of The Kindness Cure. Dr. Tara reveals how the seemingly “soft skills” of kindness, cooperation, and generosity have a deep impact on our survival, especially for those with GI disease.

Dr. Megan Riehl is a GI Health Psychologist with the University of Michigan and Director of Behavioral Health Services for Gastro Girl and GI OnDEMAND.

In today’s interview, Dr. Riehl breaks down the concept of the “gut-brain connection”. She explains that our gut and brain are supposed to talk to each other, but the volume on this conversation is turned up too high for those with GI conditions.

Dr. Riehl then puts on her Gastro Psych hat for us and provides actionable tips for finding peace during these difficult times.
