In this episode we take a deep dive into Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a complex yet common condition. We discuss how the diagnosis is made, what symptoms to look out for, how to manage IBS and how to tackle FODMAPs on a plant-based diet, as well as the all important gut microbiome and gut-brain axis.

Hazel started her dietetic career as a Research Dietitian at Kings’ College London, where she worked on two published research papers on inflammatory bowel disease.

She then went on to develop her clinical gastroenterology experience at Imperial Trust, London, later working at Manchester Royal Infirmary and then Royal Liverpool Trust.

Hazel became a fully trained FODMAP dietitian, completing her training at Kings’ College London. This training equipped her with comprehensive knowledge and skills in implementing the low FODMAP diet effectively, giving her the ability to empower clients to achieve lasting relief from their IBS symptoms.

Hazel founded her private consultancy business in 2022. HC Dietetics specialises in gastroenterology conditions, such as IBS and IBD. Additionally she has a special interest in plant-based diets and their connection with gut health and overall health.
