Dr. Biesiekierski discusses her groundbreaking research, highlighting the interaction between mind and body in food sensitivity reactions in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Her research was a key finding to support IBS (and other conditions) being classified as Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI).

Dr. Biesiekierski's research focuses on improving diet management for gastrointestinal disorders (particularly irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia) through mechanistic insights along the gut-brain axis. She is a researcher and senior lecturer with the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food at Monash University in Australia.
