Beyond Bathroom Blues
Beyond Bathroom Blues
Welcome to Beyond Bathroom Blues, a podcast for men living with IBS.
Hosted by CharlieJeane, a Registered Dietitian (RD), Sports Nutritionist (MSc), and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist — alongside Glenn, an Army veteran who has lived with IBS since 2003, the show brings together professional expertise and real-life experience.
Our aim is to meet men where they are on their IBS journey and provide calm, practical insight to help them better understand their symptoms, reduce overwhelm, and regain a sense of control.
Inside each episode, CharlieJeane shares over 12 years of experience supporting men with IBS, while Glenn offers perspective from managing symptoms day-to-day in real life, alongside the mindset shifts that support long-term IBS management.
Together, we focus on clarity over confusion, understanding over guesswork, and sustainable strategies — rather than quick fixes.

S2E83. The Hidden Self-Talk Sabotaging Your Gut… And How Men Fix It Fast
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You want your gut to calm down…
You want your energy back…
You want your life to feel normal again…
But wanting doesn’t change a damn thing.
What does change things?
The micro-shifts in mindset that men ignore — and the unconscious self-talk that quietly keeps them stuck in IBS chaos.
In this episode of Beyond Bathroom Blues, Glenn and CharlieJeane break down:
- The tiny mindset shifts that turn you from “trying” into actually taking command
- The silent self-talk traps that keep men looping in flare-ups
- Why phrases like “It’s just my IBS acting up again” are secretly programming your gut to keep misfiring
- How to start thinking like a man who beats IBS — not one who tiptoes around it
- The exact questions Glenn got men to ask in the Army to build control, resilience and execution
- And how changing the story you tell yourself changes your digestion, your stress, and your day-to-day performance
Men don’t rise to their goals — they rise to the standards they set internally.
This episode helps you raise yours.
