Done consistently for two weeks, these habits create the conditions your body needs to calm down and become more predictable.Q: Does morning light exposure actually help with gut symptoms?A: Your gut runs on a circadian clock that controls motility, barrier repair, enzyme production, and inflammation timing, and morning light is the daily input that keeps that clock calibrated. Without it, digestion becomes erratic, inflammation is harder to regulate, and overnight repair happens at the wrong time.Q: Why does eating while stressed make IBD symptoms worse?A: In a sympathetic nervous system state, blood flow shifts away from the gut, enzyme production drops, motility changes, and food can sit and ferment instead of being absorbed properly. The same meal will digest completely differently depending on the nervous system state you were in when you ate it.📱 RESOURCESUnderstanding IBD root causes: https://drrachelsarahbrown.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drrachelsarahbrown🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes.
