262. Rest and Digest: The Overlooked Key to Solving Modern Gut Issues


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Rest, Eat, Move podcast! In this solo episode, Matt zooms in on a topic that's more relevant than ever: the powerful connection between stress and our digestive health. Building off last week's deep dive into the "Running from the Bear" episode, Matt answers a growing wave of questions he’s been hearing about nausea, low appetite, and gut discomfort. Why are more people than ever experiencing digestive woes like IBS, indigestion, and chronic bloating? Matt breaks down the science behind the "rest and digest" state of our nervous system—and explains why giving ourselves time to slow down, unplug, and truly relax is the often-overlooked key to healing our gut and boosting overall well-being. Drawing on personal stories, practical advice, and the latest health science, this episode is all about finding balance, reducing chronic stress, and making rest a top priority so your body—and mind—can thrive. Tune in for actionable tips, some inspiration, and a down-to-earth reminder that sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is just look up at the clouds and take a breath.
