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.

Don’t See Your Doctor for IBS Until You Do These 11 Things
If you’re dealing with IBS symptoms and finally thinking about seeing your doctor, there’s something most men get wrong…
They show up unprepared.
And that often leads to vague answers, rushed appointments, or being told to “just manage it”.
In this episode, Glenn shares 11 simple but powerful steps to take before your appointment that nobody else talks about. So you can walk in clear, confident, and ready to have a productive conversation.
Because the quality of your diagnosis often depends on the quality of the information you bring.
You’ll learn:
• What to track before your visit
• The red flags doctors look for
• How to describe symptoms clearly
• Questions most men forget to ask
• And how to avoid delays or misdiagnosis
This isn’t about self-diagnosing.
It’s about preparing properly — so you get answers faster and waste less time guessing.
If you want calm, practical guidance to help you understand IBS and take back control, make sure you follow the podcast so you don’t miss future episodes.
