If you have chronic digestive problems & want to take a more active role in your health you’re in the right place.

The field of GI psychology is where GI medicine & psychology meet to provide holistic tools outside of meds, diets & surgery.

GI psychology is based on the modern research of how the brain & the gut are connected.

Even though digestive issues are incredibly common, they can be quite tricky to treat. They also often leave people feeling stuck and isolated.

The concepts & tools of GI psychology could be a missing piece of the healing puzzle for you.

About Scott Rower, PhD

I know firsthand how challenging it is to live with chronic GI problems.

I’ve had Crohn’s Disease for nearly 20 years. It was only after years of suffering & being exhausted all the time that I hit my point of “I can’t live like this anymore”. Something big needed to change and I could no longer stay in denial about that.

It didn’t need to be this hard though. That’s why I started this website.

As an experienced clinical psychologist & meditation teacher I’m here to help those that are looking to take a more active role in their healing journey.
