Everyone can feel stressed occasionally but when it's constant it can become dangerous to your health. When we are stressed our nervous system is in "fight or flight" mode.When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight (aka chronic stress), it’s basically running on emergency power all the time. That’s useful short-term… but rough long-term. Here’s what tends to happen 👇
🧠 Brain & emotions
Constant anxiety, irritability, or feeling “on edge”
Trouble focusing, memory issues, brain fog
Sleep problems (can’t fall asleep or stay asleep)
Higher risk of burnout, depression, panic attacks
❤️ Heart & nervous system
Elevated heart rate and blood pressure
Increased risk of heart disease and stroke over time
Shallow, rapid breathing
Feeling wired but exhausted
🍔 Digestion & gut
Slowed digestion → bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
Worsening of IBS, acid reflux, nausea
Reduced appetite or stress eating
🦠 Immune system
Weakened immune response (you get sick more often)
Slower healing
Increased inflammation throughout the body
⚖️ Hormones & metabolism
High cortisol levels
Weight gain (especially around the abdomen) or weight loss
Blood sugar imbalances
Disrupted menstrual cycles or lowered libido
💪 Muscles & pain
Chronic muscle tension (neck, jaw, shoulders, back)
Headaches or migraines
Jaw clenching / teeth grinding
😵 Overall feeling
You might feel constantly tired but unable to relax
Bowen therapy works directly with your nervous system by gently encouraging your body to switch off the "fight or flight" and back into."rest and digest"
