Why Your Anxiety Lives in Your Stomach: Understanding the Gut-Brain Connection

Struggling with both anxiety and digestive issues like IBS, nausea, or stomach pain? Your gut and brain are in constant communication through the gut-brain axis and vagus nerve.

Learn why anxiety disrupts digestion, how chronic stress changes your microbiome, and why holistic therapy that addresses your nervous system, psychological patterns, and physical symptoms together is most effective for lasting healing.
