THE TRUTH ABOUT STRESS, GUT HEALTH, AND HOW IT IMPACTS YOUR OVERALL WELL-BEING

MARLENY ASQUITH

Let’s be real—life is a circus. You’re juggling work, family, workouts, deadlines, and about a thousand little things that pop up out of nowhere.

And in the middle of all this chaos, your gut is taking a beating.

You might not even realize it, but that bloating, brain fog, or constant fatigue? It’s not just “getting older” or “normal.” It’s your body screaming for help, Marleny.

Here’s the deal: stress is wrecking your gut. And when your gut is wrecked, everything falls apart.

The Stress-Gut Destruction Cycle (And Why It’s Ruining You)

You might not think stress has anything to do with your stomach, but it absolutely does.

When you’re constantly in fight-or-flight mode, your body pumps out cortisol like a fire hydrant blasting water.

That might help you power through deadlines, but it’s an absolute disaster for your digestive system.

Why?

Because stress shuts down digestion. Your body thinks you’re running from a bear, so it prioritizes survival over breaking down your lunch.

Food sits in your gut longer than it should, fermenting, causing bloating, gas, and that awful heavy feeling after meals.

And over time?

This stress-induced gut dysfunction can lead to leaky gut, inflammation, and a seriously compromised immune system.

And let’s talk about your gut bacteria—those little guys that keep everything running smoothly.

When you’re under constant stress, your gut microbiome gets completely thrown out of whack.

The good bacteria die off, the bad guys take over, and suddenly, your digestion, mood, and even your metabolism go down the drain.

Ever wonder why stress makes you crave junk food? Because your gut bacteria are hijacking your cravings.

The Hidden Symptoms of a Stressed-Out Gut

You might not think your gut is struggling, but here are a few dead giveaways:

Bloating that won’t go away – No, it’s not “just what happens” after you eat.

Random cravings for sugar and junk food – Your gut bacteria are literally demanding their favorite fuel.

Brain fog and lack of focus – Your gut and brain are connected. If one is off, the other suffers.

Skin breakouts, rashes, or eczema – A toxic gut leads to toxic skin.

Low energy and constant fatigue – Your gut isn’t absorbing nutrients properly.

Constipation or diarrhea (or both) – Your gut is confused and stressed.

Here’s How to Fix It (And Take Back Control of Your Gut)

Fix Your Diet, Fix Your Gut – Cut out processed garbage. Eat whole, nutrient-dense foods. Load up on fiber, fermented foods, and gut-loving nutrients like collagen and omega-3s.

Get Serious About Stress Management – Breathwork, meditation, a good workout, or even just taking five minutes to sit in silence can be game-changing. Stress isn’t going away, but how you handle it makes all the difference.

Support Your Gut with the Right Supplements – Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and adaptogens can work wonders. And if you really want to level up, consider adding gut-supporting superfoods into your daily routine.

Sleep Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does) – Your body heals and repairs your gut while you sleep. Stop skimping on it.

Move Your Body – Exercise isn’t just for muscles; it helps your digestive system stay regular and balanced.

Listen—your gut is the foundation of your health. If it’s off, you’re off.

Take care of it, and you’ll notice the difference in how you feel, how you think, and even how you look.

Now, are you going to keep running on empty, feeling bloated and exhausted all the time?

… Or are you going to take control and give your body what it needs?

The choice is yours…

But your gut? It’s begging you to choose wisely.
