HOW STRESS AFFECTS GUT HEALTH - with Lea Dombrowski

The symptoms of bloating and bulging belly with embarrassing gas and pain after meals, or reflux that burns your aesophagus, may be part of Irritable Bowel Disorder, SIBO, ulcerative colitis or even Crohn's disease.  Collectively they form a growing trend in western societies, with much of the blame going to increasing stress levels. Stress affects the vagus nerve - the longest cranial nerve in the body, and the one directly controlling the digestive tract.  Even if you have a great diet, it may be that stress is letting down your digestive capacity, and that can have disastrous repercussions, including sleep problems, fatigue and metabolic syndrome.      My special guest today is Lea Dombrowski, holistic health coach and nutritionist, specializing in gut health, hormone balance, fitness, and functional medicine. Through her own health journey of recovery she has worked out a natural holistic approach that helps heal and bring back peace to the gut. https://www.livingwithstrength.com/  https://www.instagram.com/lea_dombrowski/
