Stress and Digestion
The www.digestioncoach.com category “Stress and Digestion” features posts, science-backed articles, protocols, data, information, ideas, thoughts, and news related to how stress affects digestive health.
Stress directly affects how the digestive system works. When the body enters a stress response, blood flow shifts away from digestion and toward survival functions. This change can slow stomach acid production, alter gut movement, and disrupt healthy gut bacteria. Ongoing stress may lead to bloating, discomfort, irregular bowel habits, and poor nutrient absorption.
This category helps readers understand the strong connection between the brain and the gut. Topics include stress management, nervous system support, breathing practices, sleep habits, and nutrition strategies that support healthy digestion. Readers will learn practical ways to calm the stress response, improve digestive comfort, and support long-term gut health through simple daily habits.
