NEED HELP WITH YOUR GUT?
WE CAN HELP WITH THAT

Did you know that chronic stress can affect your gut?
.
What happens when your body is under stress:
– Surge of adrenaline
– Blood to muscles
– Heart rate and respiration increase
– Digestions stalls, reproduction halted
– Liver makes sugar, insulin rises to send energy to bloodstream
– Pro-inflammatory compounds in event of injury
Finally, anti-inflammatory compounds as you calm dow
When stress is chronic:
– Cortisol takes over instead of adrenaline
– Pro-inflammatory overwhelms anti-inflammatory
– Cortisol interrupts sleep, affects appetite, depresses mood,
– leads to exhaustion, overwhelmed adrenal cortex
– Causes insulin to store fat
– Decreases ability to fight infection; cardiovascular damage
– Stress hormones in the brain
– Leaky Gut
