Mona Sharma explains how stress triggers bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea through the vagus nerve, a two-way communication line between your brain and gut. Western medicine usually misses this connection, but your stress changes your microbiome, and your gut problems change your mood.

Like my mental stress is related to my physical pain. And I wanted to ask you talk to me about how stress is related to nutritional health. To your gut.
Yeah. So we never really consider in the western world that stress could be the instigation of your bloating or your gas or your constipation or your diarrhea. And yet now we understand that we have this incredible wisdom, this intelligence of the vagus nerve in the body that runs from your brain down through your heart into gut microbiome. And what's incredible about this nerve is that there's bi directional communication.
