Why You Should Care About Stress and Digestion
Ever notice how your stomach flips before a big meeting, or how you feel bloated and heavy after a stressful day? That is not random. It is your stress response and your digestion talking to each other.
When stress is high, your digestion shuts down. When digestion is off, your brain and hormones get the message that you are under pressure. It is one big loop. If it stays stuck, you end up tired, anxious, foggy, and bloated no matter how healthy you eat.
This entire cycle is run by your HPA axis. It is the body’s stress command center.
Why It Matters
- The HPA axis was built for short term emergencies
- Today’s constant stress keeps it firing nonstop
That means:
- High cortisol creates anxiety, insomnia, wired but tired energy, belly fat
- Low cortisol (burnout) creates fatigue, overwhelm, brain fog
Every cortisol surge instantly shuts down digestion.
How It Works
- You sense stress
- Hypothalamus fires an alert
- Pituitary relays the orders
- Adrenals release cortisol and adrenaline
- Blood sugar spikes and digestion turns off
Great for danger. Not great for daily life.
When cortisol spikes your blood sugar, here is what happens next:
- Cravings and rollercoaster energy
- Metabolism shifts into storage
- Belly fat builds
Cortisol Versus Digestion
- Low stomach acid and enzymes cause heavy meals
- Motility slows which causes bloating and constipation
- Gut lining weakens which triggers leaky gut
- Microbiome shifts toward inflammation
Stress equals poor digestion every time.
