The Brain-Gut Connection: Why the Team Matters

Course Title: Gastro Bites The Brain-Gut Connection: Why the Team Matters

Overview

This session dives into the complex interaction between the brain and gut, focusing on the roles of psychological and emotional factors in those cared for in GI practices. Our presenters explore how mental health impacts gastrointestinal functioning and discover psychological interventions, known as brain-gut behavioral therapies, that can become integral in treatment planning. This session highlights the importance of a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to GI care.

Learning objectives

  1. Talking to your patients about the brain-gut axis: Explain how the brain-gut axis influences the pathophysiology of IBD and IBS, highlighting the impact of stress, sleep, anxiety, and depression on gastrointestinal health.
  2. Differentiate psychological interventions:  Identify and compare evidence-based psychological interventions, such as CBT, mindfulness, ACT and gut-directed hypnotherapy.
  3. Integrate psychological care in GI management: Discuss how to effectively incorporate psychological interventions (digital, group and/or individual care) into a multidisciplinary approach for treating patients with IBD and IBS, improving both mental health and GI outcomes.
