GutMind

GutMind is a free gut-directed mindfulness app for people living with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). Built on evidence-based research, GutMind helps you manage stress-related gut discomfort through focused mindfulness sessions, a symptom journal, and gut-brain education.

WHAT IS GUT-DIRECTED MINDFULNESS?

Research shows that gut-directed mindfulness — meditation focused on the gut and abdomen — can help manage IBS symptoms. These practices work through the gut-brain axis, helping calm the nervous system and reduce stress-related gut discomfort. GutMind brings these techniques to your phone, completely free.

ABOUT IBS

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition affecting the gut. Symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel habits. Stress and the nervous system play a key role — which is exactly where gut-directed mindfulness practices come in.

IMPORTANT

GutMind is a wellness support tool. It does not diagnose or treat irritable bowel syndrome. Mindfulness practices may help manage discomfort but are not a substitute for medical treatment.

Please consult a gastroenterologist if you have: blood in your stool, unintentional weight loss, nocturnal diarrhea, symptoms that first started after age 50, or a family history of colorectal cancer or IBD.
