#144. Why The Way You're Eating Is Wreaking Havoc On Your Vagus Nerve & Triggering Your IBS : IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Bloating, Gut Health

13 minutes

Are you sabotaging your digestion before your first bite — just by eating while stressed?

If you’re eating on the go, multitasking, or anxious while you eat, your body may never receive the signal that it’s safe to digest.

In this episode, we unpack how stress before meals shuts down digestion — and what to do instead.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

Why your gut can’t digest properly when you’re rushing, scrolling, or stressed — and how that worsens bloating and IBS.
How your body needs safety cues like deep breathing or stillness to actually process food.
Easy, science-backed pre-meal rituals to activate digestion and reduce symptoms like bloating and gas.

Want to enjoy your meals without the bloating battle? Listen now to learn how small mindset and habit shifts can dramatically improve your gut health.
