In this episode, you'll learn:

• Food, movement, and emotional work all feed your nervous system, the "master control" behind digestion, hormones, immunity, and healing.
• Talk therapy alone and body therapy alone each miss something; lasting change comes from working with thoughts, feelings, breath, and body together.
• When you feel stuck, find where that feeling lives in your body, put your hand there, and breathe into it. That's where healing can start.

Description:

In Part 2 of our conversation, nervous system teacher Myles Treanor shares what to do when diet, supplements, and exercise have taken you as far as they can and your gut still won't heal.

Functional nutrition practitioner Courtney Cowie, NTP, FDN-P, NBC-HWC, and Myles explore why nutrition, movement, and emotional work are all ways of supporting your nervous system. They explain why breathwork and meditation are practical tools for your biology, not just spiritual ideas, and how limiting beliefs and trauma passed down from your parents can keep your body stuck in old patterns.

Myles explains his Congruency Method and why it blends talk therapy and body-based therapy. He and Courtney discuss why guided mentorship often works better than DIY nervous system programs. He also walks you through a simple practice for moments when you feel frustrated and hopeless about your health.

If you're living with IBS, IBD, or chronic gut symptoms and feel like you've tried everything, this episode offers a new way to work with your body instead of against it.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Your nervous system controls digestion, muscles, hormones, immunity, and pain, so when it's stuck in a stress pattern, gut symptoms can persist despite a "perfect" diet.
• Nutrition, movement, and supplements do support the nervous system, but when you've plateaued, unresolved emotional and generational trauma may be the missing layer.
• Lasting gut healing takes commitment, open-mindedness, flexibility, and self-empowerment.

Description:

Have you changed your diet, tried every supplement, and seen specialist after specialist, but your gut still won't heal? This episode may explain why.

Functional nutrition practitioner Courtney Cowie, NTP, FDN-P, NBC-HWC, sits down with nervous system teacher Myles Treanor. At 19, Myles developed colitis, rectal prolapse, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Doctors told him surgery had a low success rate and there was nothing else they could do. After three years of strict diets, exercise, bodywork, yoga, and therapy with no lasting change, he found the piece he'd been missing: his nervous system.

Myles shares how nerve-focused work, emotional release, and exploring generational trauma through family constellations changed his recovery. He also explains why he sees the nervous system as the "master control switch" for gut health, inflammation, and chronic symptoms. Courtney and Myles discuss how food sensitivities, elimination diets, and nutrition fit into nervous system healing. They also talk about why physical symptoms can come back after manual therapies, and why getting out of your head and into your body matters.

If you feel like you've tried everything for your IBS, IBD, or chronic gut symptoms, this conversation offers a new lens on healing from the root.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic slow gut motility and suppress appetite, which can affect digestion, nutrient absorption, hormones, and metabolism.
• Without enough protein, strength training, and gut support, many people lose muscle and regain weight when they stop the medication.
• Medication can be a helpful bridge, but lasting results come from addressing the root causes of weight gain and gut dysfunction.

Description:

Thinking about Ozempic, Wegovy, or another GLP-1 medication for weight loss, or already taking one? If you live with IBS, bloating, or chronic gut symptoms, there's a lot your doctor may not have told you about how these drugs affect your digestive system.

In this episode, functional nutrition practitioner Courtney Cowie, NTP, FDN-P, NBC-HWC, is joined by Maria Horstmann, FDNP for an honest, balanced conversation about GLP-1 drug overuse. They cover the side effects of appetite suppression, slowed stomach emptying and gut motility, and why under-eating can disrupt your thyroid and hormones. They also explain why rebound weight gain is so common when people try to come off the medication.

You'll also learn why fiber can be tricky for people with IBS and dysbiosis, and why protein and muscle mass matter so much during weight loss. Courtney and Maria share how to use the medication as a companion rather than letting it take control, including tracking body composition with a smart scale and monitoring your bowel movements. They also explain why DIY approaches so often stall and how working with a practitioner can help you address the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

Whether you're for, against, or undecided about GLP-1s, this episode will help you make an informed choice that protects your gut health for the long term.
