In this episode of The JCN Clinic Podcast Show, Jessica and Carissa dive into one of the most common and frustrating experiences on a health journey - hitting a plateau. If you’ve ever felt like you were doing everything “right” but still not seeing progress, this episode is for you.

We explore the concept of 'progress blocks', unpacking the key reasons why your health may have stalled. From staying stuck in symptom management to over-relying on supplements, we discuss how missing the deeper root causes can keep you spinning your wheels.

We also touch on the often-overlooked emotional and psychological side of healing, including how your relationship with your health, your belief systems, and even the people around you can either support or sabotage your progress.

Enjoy this episode and we hope you learn how to step back, reassess, and move forward with clarity and confidence on your health journey.

Welcome to The JCN Clinic Podcast Show, where Clinical Nutritionists Jessica Cox and Christine Smith from The JCN Clinic dive deep into the real-world issues they see every day in practice.

In this episode, we’re unpacking one of the most overlooked yet powerful drivers of gut dysfunction: stress. Honestly, who isn’t stressed right now? But here’s the thing: while most people are quick to ask what to eat, they often overlook how deeply stress is impacting their gut health, digestion, and even their ability to absorb that good food.

In this episode Jessica & Christine explore:

- How stress affects gut function - from low stomach acid and appetite dysregulation to candida overgrowth and microbial imbalances

- Tangible, clinically-backed steps you can take to reduce the impact of stress on your digestive system

- Supportive practices around sleep, mindful eating, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and more

Whether you're navigating chronic gut issues or just want to optimise your digestion, this one’s for you. Tune in for practical tools, clinical insights, and a reminder that your gut isn’t just about food. It’s about how stress is affecting your body every day, especially your gut.
