A (Not So) Hidden Struggle No One Warns You About Stress: Cortisol Bloat
Our body will often tell us something is wrong before our conscious mind catches up. One seemingly unexplainable example is a bloated belly or moon face--a condition I've termed, the Cortisol Bloat. Talk about a gut response! Why, and how, does this happen? Simply put, stress disrupts our body homeostasis, which is largely governed inside the gut. Stress interrupts normal gut health, microbiome and digestive functions which causes the bloat. Over time, this exacerbates GI conditions like IBS, IBD, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis -- which can lead to more stress! In this episode, get answers to this dynamic and what you can do about it. Be sure to check out my podcast companion workbook, Why Is My Body Betraying Me? at drskyler.net/store. It's like having a one-on-one session with me.
