DR WENDY CHRISTIEN - The Science of Stress Part 2 - Stress & Digestion: How Cortisol Affects Gut Health

Loading player...
Dr Wendy walks us through this very important bit of information, reminding us of the Stress & Digestion Connection.
When in "fight or flight" mode, digestion shuts down as a non-essential function.
Chronic stress leads to acid reflux, bloating, IBS, and leaky gut syndrome.
The gut-brain axis plays a crucial role—stress disrupts communication, worsening digestive issues.
She talks about Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Leaky Gut and inflammation, as well as Poor Nutrient Absorption. And not-to-be-missed episode for sure.
