This week we had such an interesting and fun conversation with Dr. Meredith Craven! Dr. Craven is a licensed health psychologist and she's the Director of GI Health Psychology in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford Health. We spent quite a bit of time talking about gut directed hypnotherapy and other brain-gut behavioral health techniques. We also had a really interesting discussion about Dr. Craven's research and work on health disparities and diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. We also talked about her interest in and practice of yoga and how she's helped her patients use it as well as diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness to manage their IBD.
We could have talked to Dr. Craven for hours and hours. I hope you learn as much as we did from this conversation!
