We Don’tJust Calm Symptoms. We Unlock What IBS Forced You to Restrict.
Not as concepts—as a coordinated, physician-guided system designed to work together.
Dr. Leybelis believes the current healthcare system often treats digestive symptoms in isolation, leaving important gaps in care.
Because in IBS, the mind-gut connection isn't optional - it's foundational.
Our mindset pillar draws from research in neuroplasticity, heart rate variability (HRV), and heart coherence principles. Dr. Leybelis participated in the Inner Health Coalition, a network of medical professionals exploring the integration of meditation and mindfulness tools by the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza into conventional healthcare.
These tools are incorporated thoughtfully and alongside evidence based medical care.
As a registered dietitian, I’ve spent years supporting individuals who want to feel better in their bodies but are often overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and one-size-fits-all wellness trends.
I began to see a clear pattern: gut health and long-term wellbeing are rarely shaped by just one food or one habit. Digestive function, dietary patterns, metabolic health, and daily lifestyle choices all influence how people feel—but these pieces are often addressed in isolation.
Through my clinical work, education, and experience in corporate wellbeing, I began to build an approach centered on practical, evidence-based nutrition that is both inclusive and sustainable.
My goal is to help people move beyond confusion and restriction toward a clearer, more supportive path to digestive health and overall wellbeing.

Featured in the New York Post, Dr. Leybelis Padilla shares a practical colonoscopy “behind-the-scenes” tip—prep isn’t always perfect, so plan to head home and reset after the procedure—while reinforcing that screening helps prevent colorectal cancer.

Millions have cut out bread thinking gluten is the culprit—but a recent Fox News report featuring Dr. Leybelis Padilla explains that for many people, symptoms may be driven more by other factors.

Your gut thrives on balance—not overload. In Parade, Dr. Leybelis breaks down why processed meats can be tough on digestion, describing how they can “stress” the gut ecosystem by fueling inflammation.

In a Newsweek feature, Dr. Leybelis Padilla shares three practical, natural ways to support gut health—focusing on fiber-forward eating, stress regulation (rest-and-digest tools like breathing/meditation), and movement as a daily “gut tune-up.”

It’s easy to feel lost in the vast wilderness that is stomach—or more accurately, abdominal—pain. But doctors have learned to read our midsection like a map. As they say, it’s all about location, location, location.
Urgency and tenesmus are common symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are probably the most disturbing and least talked about symptoms of IBD.
Urgency refers to a sudden and compelling need to have a bowel movement, often accompanied by a feeling of incomplete evacuation and still feeling like you have more to go…but you may not. This is really and truly that urge to run to the bathroom or you may have an accident on yourself and unfortunately, for many patients with IBD, accidents happen. It’s important to know that you aren’t alone and many other patients experience these symptoms.
Tenesmus, on the other hand, refers to the sensation of needing to pass stool even when the rectum is empty. So you go and sit on the toilet and nothing comes out, maybe just some gas.
These symptoms of urgency and tenesmus are often because of inflammation and irritation of the lining of the rectum and colon, which are common features of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. You may experience varying degrees of urgency and tenesmus depending on the severity and location of inflammation.
I would recommend that you speak with your physician about these symptoms as there are a variety of treatments that can help to alleviate them.
As a result, it is VERY important for you to have access to clean and accessible restrooms when you need it. Here are some resources that you can use to find bathroom access:
I really hope this helps and that you discuss these symptoms with your physician to see if your medications can be better optimized so that you can feel more in control, know your rights as a patient, and know where the bathrooms are at when you do need it.
