Emerging evidence continues to highlight the complex, bidirectional relationship between the brain and the gastrointestinal system, with important implications for speech-language pathology practice. In this episode of Brainstorms, Renee Garrett, MSEd, CCC-SLP, CBIS, is joined by Dr. Camille Thélin, MD, MSc, and Jaimie Anderson, MS, CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS, to explore disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) through the lens of hypervigilance and sensory processing.
Together, they examine how altered interoception, autonomic dysregulation, and central sensitization can shape symptom presentation and influence the patient experience. The conversation connects these mechanisms to real-world clinical patterns SLPs encounter, helping you better understand the overlap between physiological and perceptual factors in complex cases.
Designed for SLPs across medical, outpatient, and community settings, this episode supports stronger clinical reasoning and offers a more nuanced perspective on how the gut-brain axis impacts function, participation, and quality of life.
