~Any threat to our safety and the nervous system immediately shuts down the digestive system. When asked, most people will commonly say they feel a sense of stress in their stomachs, describing it as a knot or ache, which they can't explain, but know they feel unwell.
~Continuous stress can look like overwhelm, aches and pains, racing heart, worry, exhaustion, continuous sick feelings, trouble with sleep and much more, and can impact the digestive system by:
* Reducing our capacity to release digestive enzymes, gastric acid and bile to break down our foods & absorb our nutrients. This can cause bloating, distension, pain, flatulence and gas, joint pain, skin issues, inflammation, headaches, weight gain.
* Impacting the communication along the gut-brain axis leading to swinging bowel movements (constipation/diarrhoea).
* Disrupting the balance of bacteria in our gut can promote excess inflammation & other systemic health issues relating to mood balance, hormones & our immune response.
Addressing emotional issues can resolve and improve digestive problems. Kinesiology will address the connection between stress, your emotional wellbeing and your digestive system.
Significant shifts can happen; it is all about finding health within and amplifying it. To find out more, visit my website or DM me. If you seek some extra support in understanding your digestion, click the link in my bio to book a consultation.
