The Gut-Brain Connection

Your gut and brain constantly “talk” through the gut-brain axis. Chronic stress disrupts this communication, leading to digestive dysfunction.

Slowed Digestion

Under stress, your body halts digestion to focus on “survival.” This causes gas, bloating, constipation, or indigestion.

IBS Gets Worse

Stress is a known trigger for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), making symptoms like abdominal pain, cramps, and irregular bowels worse.

Gut Bacteria Imbalance

Chronic stress alters your gut microbiome, reducing healthy bacteria and causing inflammation, poor immunity, and leaky gut.

Appetite & Eating Changes

Stress may lead to overeating, undereating, or junk food cravings — all of which negatively impact your digestive health.
