The Wildly Overlooked Connection between the Nervous System, Digestion + Hormones with Megan Gerber RD
Description
This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones.
Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential.
Here’s what we got into:
🧠 Why women with hypothalamic amenorrhea often deal with chronic constipation, bloating, and food sensitivities
💥 How nervous system dysregulation (aka always being “on”) shuts down digestion and hormone production
🫀 The exact reason stress, undereating, and overexercising lead to poor gut motility and missing periods
🌬 Breathwork, bitters, and simple vagus nerve practices to get your gut—and your cycle—back online
💫 The trauma-gut-fertility link no one talks about enough
