Stress can significantly impact your health and is often a root cause of many chronic health issues. While some daily stress is unavoidable, developing healthy coping strategies and reducing the systemic effects of stress on your body can help protect your long-term health.

Physical and emotional stress can trigger a “fight or flight” response in the body and cause complex reactions in our nervous and hormonal systems. This chain of signals explains why emotional stress can result in many physical symptoms and affect your health in different ways.

Do you know how stress can affect your health?

Dysbiosis refers to any microbial imbalance within the gut microbiome. Antibiotic use, mental and emotional stress, inflammation, infections, and poor dietary intake can all disrupt your natural GI flora and lead to various gastrointestinal disorders.

Maintaining a delicate balance of beneficial bacteria in the microbiome is essential to aid digestion and protect the body from harmful organisms. Dysbiosis may require antimicrobial agents to control unwanted bacteria, but it also calls for long-term lifestyle changes to sustain the optimal balance.

Lifestyle modifications to support your gut microbiome include:
- Limiting sugar consumption
- Increasing fiber intake
- Increasing water intake to half your body weight in ounces per day
- Exercising regularly to maintain a healthy weight
- Limiting antibiotic use when possible (medications and food sources)

Like most body systems, GI health is greatly affected by lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and sleep. Over time, these choices can harm the core functions of the GI system and promote the development of disease.

The GI tract’s main role of digesting and breaking down food is just one part of a much larger function it serves in overall health and disease prevention. The GI tract also acts as a barrier to protect your body from external threats, supports a smart and tolerant immune system, removes waste, and maintains a healthy connection with your brain.

Necessary for optimal health, cholesterol is a fatty, waxy substance that is especially important for brain function. Even though the brain accounts for only about 2% of your total body weight, it contains 20-25% of the cholesterol in your body.

Cholesterol performs three primary functions in the body:
✔ It makes up the outer coating of cells.
✔ It is used in the production of vitamin D and other hormones such as estrogen and testosterone
✔ It makes up bile acids to digest food.
