Ep.12 Stress or Digest | How Stress Impacts Digestion

During this show I go over what we can do during times of stress.
Currently in the world we are facing several stressors, from
environmental crises to political division to coronavirus-related
tensions and fears. Stress has a direct effect upon our digestive
system. When our “fight or flight” stress response is activated
constantly and repetitively for months and months, our digestive
system begins to suffer. This happens due to our energy being
taken away from processing food to managing whatever
environmental “threats” we are facing, even if it’s merely
getting frustrated with someone while driving. In the long-term
this severely weakens our digestive abilities, especially when
paired with the damages we incur from all the herbicides,
pesticides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, and additives
beings placed in the foods we consume. Over time, our cell walls
become chronically inflamed and swollen shut so that vitamins and
nutrients cannot get into our cells while toxins cannot get
released out. This chronic inflammation is what causes chronic
disease.


However, this is not a final sentence! Your body possesses the
amazing ability to heal itself. Join me during this show to find
