Description

Ever notice how stress doesn’t just live in your head — it knots up in your stomach too? That’s no coincidence. Your gut and brain are in constant conversation, and when stress shows up, your digestion (and mood) get the memo.


In this episode, I’m unpacking what happens when stress hijacks your nervous system and wreaks havoc on your gut — and more importantly, what you can actually do about it.


We’ll cover:




  • Why the gut-brain axis is like a two-way radio (and how stress throws it out of tune)




  • The cascade of stress hormones and why your digestion takes the hit




  • Nutrients that act like “backup batteries” for your brain in high-stress seasons




  • Gut-loving foods




  • How to strike balance in your relationship with food — fuel and comfort




Because here’s the truth: you may not be able to control the stressors in your life, but you can care for your gut and, in turn, your mental health.


So if stress has been tying your stomach in knots, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to feed your gut so you can free your mind.

Cheers, and happy eating!
