Meet Our Leadership Team
Digestible was founded by people who’ve lived through the frustration of trying to manage chronic digestive symptoms — and knew there had to be a better way. We created Digestible to offer the kind of clarity, support, and effective treatment we wished we'd had.
Anna Olivieri | Co-founder
After years of debilitating digestive issues and chronic pain — at one point eating only five different foods — Anna discovered the life-changing power of the brain-gut approach. When it felt like she had tried everything, this innovative approach finally gave her lasting relief and helped her reclaim her life.
Anna leads content and design at Digestible, blending her background in psychology, healthcare technology, and user experience to create the program she wishes she had during her own healing. She’s passionate about making the brain-gut approach accessible, empowering others to feel seen, supported, and capable of true recovery.
Vincent Olivieri | Co-founder
With over a decade of experience building digital tools in healthcare technology, Vincent has led products that improve access, simplify complexity, and drive meaningful change.
But Digestible is personal. After witnessing his wife Anna’s painful struggle with IBS — and seeing her fully recover through brain-gut regulation — he was inspired to help bring that same relief to others. Together, they created Digestible: the first brain-gut regulation app for IBS.
Now leading product and strategy, Vincent is on a mission to eliminate IBS from the face of the planet — one nervous system at a time.
Why Digestible Exists
15% of the world suffers from IBS, but most treatments are managing the wrong problem.
Brain-Gut Regulation Approach
What most people haven't been told:
-
Your symptoms are real - and reversible
-
IBS is rooted in how the brain and gut communicate
-
People with IBS experience increased pain sensitivity in the gut
-
Stress, anxiety, and emotional overload can put your brain in protection mode - leading to digestive issues and discomfort
Treatments that focus on stress-reduction and emotional processing can significantly reduce symptom severity, improve quality of life, and alleviate anxiety and stress.
Gut-Centered Approach
What you may have been told:
❌ IBS is incurable
❌ Your IBS is caused by what you eat
❌ You need to track your triggers
❌ Cut out FODMAPs, gluten, dairy, etc.
❌ Your treatment options are limited to medications, supplements, or diets
These treatments often fall short.
Only 49% of IBS patients are at least somewhat better 6 months after seeking treatment (Whitehead et al, 2006).
70% of IBS patients are open to mind-body treatment - but only 15% are ever referred. Digestible exists to change that.
You are not broken.
Your symptoms are real.
Healing is possible.
