But if you do that kind of training phase, if you take maybe a week to train yourself, I think you'll get much more consistent results.

There's a learning curve, and for some people, two to three minutes, it's enough.

They can get into that state.

Some people are really wired a bit tight, and two to three minutes, if they haven't trained their body, is not enough time.

People try to do this breathing, but they breathe too fast, or they're breathing too slow, and they haven't found the right rhythm for themselves.

There's attentional training that's disrupting that hypervigilant cycle that people get into where they're always scanning.

There's all those catastrophic thoughts I was talking about earlier, teaching people to recognize them and shift them and change them.

Often people with IBS end up with a lot of behavioral avoidance.

I can't go out to that restaurant.

I can't go on that long car ride.
