Bloating and indigestion are signs of poor gut health but can also indicate high stress. Nikki dives into why stress management is just as important as understanding how to eat healthy and exercise!

In this podcast episode, Nikki shares:

• The impact of stress on digestive function
• Indigestion and other red flags of your digestive system
• How long term gut issues lead to nutritional deficiencies and hormone imbalances
• How thoughts and feelings impact the nervous system, gut health and digestive function
• Living in a sympathetic vs. parasympathetic state
• Nikki’s experience with burnout and what led to her holistic approach to fitness
• The difference between approaching fitness goals from a place of love vs. hate
• Addressing the key component of stress

Memorable Quotes:

• “Even if we're eating healthy, we can still be in a more stressed out state and have our body in a more stressed out state, and this can impact our breakdown of foods and our digestive function.”
• “That stress component...should actually be a very top priority. It's almost as important as your nutrition and your fitness because if you're stressed out, your body is stressed out...it can really impact how your body actually responds to your fitness and nutrition changes.”
• “...I actually started working towards my goals from a place of love…prioritizing my sleep, practicing gratitude, writing affirmations, making sure I had a good, healthy relationship with food. When my stress went down, it gave me and my body the opportunity to actually rebalance.”
