Understanding the GI Stress Cycle

A free 6-part email series

Why It Matters

Many people with GI issues feel like they’ve tried everything, yet symptoms continue to flare. Often there’s not even a clear trigger.

This is often because stress & digestion can get caught in a vicious cycle that’s rarely explained.

Stress doesn’t cause GI disorders, but it can make symptoms worse and harder to heal from.

Once this GI stress cycle takes hold, it becomes a pattern the body keeps repeating, unless you know how to interrupt it.

This free email series helps you understand what’s really happening in your gut-brain connection, and what it takes to begin to break the cycle.

  • The 4-part GI stress cycle that keeps symptoms looping

  • How your nervous system & digestive system communicate

Who’s It For

✅ You live with IBS, reflux, bloating, or other chronic gut issues

✅ You’ve tried diets, meds, or supplements but still feel stuck

✅ You’ve been told “it’s just stress” but never shown what to do about it

✅ You want clear, practical ways to support healing, not more guesswork

✅ You’re curious about the gut-brain connection & want simple, holistic guidance

🧠 The More Technical Answer

There are two categories of GI disorders:

If you have a “functional” GI disorder (like IBS, reflux, or functional heartburn), then gut-brain dysregulation is likely a primary driver of your symptoms & this series will help you understand why.

If you have an “organic” GI condition (like GERD, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn’s disease), gut-brain dysregulation can still play a major role in symptom severity, flare frequency, and overall quality of life. This series can help you begin to reduce the load on your system & build nervous system resilience.
