The Impact of Stress on Your Digestive and Physical Health

Did you also know that when you’re less stressed, your digestive and physical health will also improve? Stress is one of the major offenders to your gut health.

It wreaks havoc on the good gut bacteria, allowing room for the bad guys to move in and take over.
Stress also takes a major toll on the gut lining. When this lining becomes too permeable, substances can leak into your bloodstream and cause all kinds of problems.
Stress keeps you in a heightened state and doesn’t allow your body to rest and digest. When this happens, you literally can’t digest your food properly.
Another way stress impacts your physical health, is by staying in that state of fight or flight. The major nerve connecting the gut and the brain will become dysfunctional when we don’t go into a relaxed state and over time we lose the ability to go between a heightened state and a state of calm. This overstimulation impairs the communication between the gut and the brain and negatively impacts both our body and mind.

So, now that you know why it’s so important to manage stress for your digestive and overall health, listen to this episode for some valuable time management tips and ways to optimize your energy.
