In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between your gut, stress, and emotions. Anna explains how anxiety and chronic stress can disrupt the gut-brain axis, damage immune function in the gut, and show up as bloating and digestive issues. You'll learn simple daily practices and supportive supplements that help calm the nervous system, restore gut lining, and address both the emotional and physical sides of gut healing.

Key Points

• Stress and anxiety strongly affect gut health
• Gut-brain axis communicates via the vagus nerve
• Fight-or-flight state disrupts digestion and heart rhythm
• Deep breathing, humming, and singing support vagus nerve
• Most anxious clients also have digestive/gut issues
• Gut often reflects emotional stress and life strain
• Simple daily practice: barefoot in grass + deep breathing
• Sunlight exposure (5–10 min) helps regulate the body
• Lemon balm (in Calm You) gently calms the nervous system
• Solar plexus chakra links digestion and emotional processing
• Emotional work must accompany supplements for true healing
• Bloat List You formula supports gut lining (with mastic gum)
• Stress can weaken gut lining over time
• Combining lifestyle tools + Calm You + Bloat List You is recommended
