A short YouTube talk by Dr. Shilpa Sayana about the gut–brain connection and how chronic stress and trauma negatively affect gut health. The speaker asserts that frequent stress/trauma keeps the body in a fight-or-flight state, which promotes gut inflammation and worsens gut health.
So one other thing I wanted to really mention is the gut brain connection. And this is something we've been using more and more in the past couple of years. And if you've lived, if you've had a lot of trauma in your life, or you're like the average American who's done a lot of, who's had just a lot of stress in their life, then you're constantly responding. I have a deadline for work. I drop off the kids. I have to do this for somebody else. And that constant stress response is how our body always is living. We're living in this fight or flight state, and that state is very pro inflammatory for our gut.
