A talk built around the book Mavero, in which Helene Weinkouff Barsøe and Alice Højer Christensen look at how the stomach, gut bacteria and the nervous system work together. The focus is on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive complaints, and on why symptoms such as bloating, pain, tiredness and unease often come from a combination of strains over time rather than a single cause.
The talk blends a medical perspective with personal experience. Helene shares her own story as a former IBS patient, while Alice brings 35 years of experience as a consultant gastroenterologist. It suits anyone who lives with stomach problems or has someone close to them who does, and anyone curious about why digestion matters so much for overall health.
