In fact, did you know that over 90% of the serotonin, the chemical responsible for feelings of well-being, is produced in your gut?
This is where the Gut-Brain Connection comes into play.
When we experience stress, it triggers the Gut-Brain Connection, initiating a series of crucial processes aimed at addressing real or perceived threats.
In the short term, the stress response mediated by the Gut-Brain Connection can be beneficial. However, if this response is repeatedly or chronically activated, it can lead to dysfunction and inflammation, ultimately compromising long-term health.
GUT
BRAIN
When real or perceived stress is experienced, gastric secretions are lowered which can lead to discomfort or improper digestion after eating, altering our food choices. Instinctively, we seek out high-energy foods, more often processed and less nutrient-dense, that lead to further fatigue, craving and bacterial changes in the gut.
Adrenal Burnout
Stress is a significant issue for many Aussies
While short-term stress can be protective and help deal with challenges, there may be times when stress becomes excessive and too much to deal with. Stress that endures and exceeds one’s ability to cope may lead to 'adrenal fatigue' or burnout and has severe and long-term physiological, psychological, and behavioural implications.
