286. Bloating That’s Driven by Anxiety, Not Food

If you’re constantly feeling bloated, uncomfortable, or like your stomach is just “off”… your first thought is probably:

what did I eat?

And from there it turns into:cutting foods outoveranalyzing every mealtrying to figure out what your body is reacting to

But what if it’s not just the food?

In this episode, we’re breaking down a piece that almost no one explains — how your nervous system directly impacts your digestion.

Because digestion isn’t just about what you eat.It’s about the state your body is in while you’re eating and throughout the day.

We get into:

how stress and a “go-go-go” state slow digestion and lead to bloating

why gas and pressure can build up even with normal foods

what visceral hypersensitivity is and why you feel everything more intensely

the gut–brain connection (without making it overwhelming)

why bloating often gets worse as the day goes on
