Digestion
The GLP-1 commercials are everywhere. Stress is HIGH. People are eating lunch while answering emails. Still. (ok I do this sometimes too...) The nervous system of the average American adult is basically being held together with caffeine, cortisol, and one tiny emotionally significant snack. So let's talk about digestion for a second.
I mean REAL digestion.
The reflux.
The bloating.
The IBS.
The constipation.
The nausea.
The random food sensitivities.
The “why do I suddenly feel terrible after eating literally anything?”
It makes sense that so many people are struggling right now.
It’s a perfect storm.
Stress.
There’s a lot to metabolize.
One of the things Eastern Medicine understands really deeply is that digestion is about much more than food. It’s about what nourishes you.
Your relationships.
Your stress level.
Your pace of life.
Your sleep.
Your emotional world.
Your sense of safety.
Your ability to actually RECEIVE support and nourishment instead of just pushing through constantly.
Human beings digest life through the nervous system too. Which is why so many people notice:
their IBS gets worse during stress,
their reflux flares during overwhelm,
their bloating changes with anxiety,
their appetite disappears during burnout,
their joint pain worsens when inflammation and digestion are struggling. Everything talks to everything.
This medicine has understood that for thousands of years. One of the most healing things for a lot of patients is simply having someone connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense.
Not: “your labs are normal, good luck.”
More: “your body is overloaded and trying very hard to adapt.”
That’s a VERY different conversation.
Some products I find myself recommending a lot for digestion are:
Ginger Powder,
Ginseng & Ginger Tea,
and Ume Plums.
All products I carry in the office and are delicious.
If your digestion, metabolism, inflammation or gut health has been the punch bag for your stress levels, let's get you feeling better. I can help.
