The Gut-Brain Link

Your gut and brain are closely connected. That’s why stress can show up physically as digestive issues, including upset stomach and acid reflux.

What Stress Does to Your Digestive System

When stress levels are high:

  • Stomach acid can increase

  • Digestion can slow down

  • Gut bacteria can become imbalanced

  • Sensitivity in the gut can rise

Managing Stress for Better Digestion

Reducing stress isn’t always easy, but small steps can help.

Helpful approaches:

  • Regular movement or exercise

  • Mindfulness or meditation

  • Getting enough sleep
