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.

One of the biggest questions men ask when dealing with IBS is this:
“Can I ever go back to living a normal life?”
When symptoms keep showing up, routines change, and confidence takes a hit, it’s easy to feel like this might just be your new normal.
In this episode of Beyond Bathroom Blues, Glenn breaks this question down honestly and explains what’s actually possible when you understand IBS properly and take the right approach.
Inside this episode:
• What “normal life” really means with IBS
• Whether IBS is something you’re stuck with forever
• Why many people stay stuck for years
• What starts to change when you take back control
If you’ve ever wondered whether things can improve, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
