Ever notice how some days you wake up, drink your water, take a warm shower, and eat something gentle and your stomach still feels tight, bloated, or unsettled?
Your gut reacts to states, not just meals.
When you wake up stressed, rushed, anxious, or already thinking about your to-do list… your digestion shifts into survival mode.
Stress tightens your diaphragm.
Shallow breathing lowers stomach acid.
Fight-or-flight slows digestion.
Hypervigilance causes bloating before the first bite.
So if your gut feels “off” before you eat, it may not be your breakfast at all, it may be your nervous system asking for safety.
Your digestion works best when you do.
When your body feels calm, supported, and safe, your gut can finally do its job.
Struggling with gut symptoms that don’t make sense or don’t seem to match what you’re eating?
