Learning Session: Workshop

Gut Check: Stress and Your Colon

With: Tracey Childs, M.D. - General and Colo-Rectal Surgeon, MD, MPH, FACS

About This Session:

The older we get, the more imbalanced our digestive systems become. Add stress and anxiety into the mix, and our stomachs rebel. How? Uncomfortable bloating, constipation, acid reflux or changes in our pooping habits. And those are just a few of the warning signs.

In this workshop, Dr. Childs, whose surgical brilliance saved Tammi from a colostomy bag, will explain the basics of how our colons work, and when to know if danger is lurking.

Dr. Childs will share her insight about what you can do now to keep your gut in check, so you don't end up in her operating room. It’s time to start caring more about your colon. Especially now, as it's one of the places women hide their stress.
