The holidays are hard on your gut - but it doesn’t have to be this way. Your digestion problems aren’t just about the food - they’re about your nervous system. 🎄
You could eat the cleanest, most balanced holiday meal and still feel bloated, constipated, and uncomfortable if your nervous system is dysregulated.
Because digestion doesn’t happen in your gut...it’s controlled by your nervous system - specifically the vagus nerve that connects your brain to your entire digestive system.
When you’re stressed (which, hello, holidays), your body goes into fight-or-flight mode.
And in fight-or-flight:
-Digestion literally shuts down
-Blood flow diverts away from your gut
-Food sits in your stomach instead of moving through
-Your body can’t properly absorb nutrients
-Everything feels harder
This is why the holidays wreak havoc on your gut. It’s not just the extra cookies and rich meals, but the stress and disrupted routines.
The nervous system gets overloaded and overwhelmed.
When you support your nervous system FIRST - through chiropractic care, hydration, breathwork, movement, and rest - your digestion works better.
