Stress Is Damaging Your Gut Health. Here's How to Repair It.

Most people know stress feels bad. But what's actually happening inside your gut during a stress response is something most doctors never explain. When your brain detects a threat, it releases a hormone called CRH — and that signal travels directly to your gut, where it loosens tight junctions, activates immune cells, raises inflammation, and increases pain sensitivity. All of that happens before you've changed a single thing on your plate. This is why stress makes IBS worse, triggers IBD flares, worsens reflux, causes food sensitivities, and drives bloating and constipation. Your gut symptoms aren't random. They're a direct signal from your nervous system. In this video I walk you through exactly what's happening at every level — the brain, the nervous system, the gut barrier, and the microbiome — and give you 5 evidence-based tools to calm the stress response and get your gut back into repair mode.
